A man wearing a white mask with black lines on it and a black cloak was walking towards an exit of a cave he was currently in.
"Obito-kun, be sure to remember to bring a newborn Uchiha back with you after you finish capturing my pet," the man now known as Obito turned around to face his dying sensei, Madara Uchiha. Madara was getting older and nearer to death, he wore a completely black garb.
"Hai, Madara-sensei," with that the masked man took of towards his destination, The Village Hidden in the Leaves.
12 Hours Later
The same masked man appeared in front of Madara in a vortex. Madara's eyes snapped open, he took a look at his apprentice, Obito's mask was almost broken and his cloak ripped and torn, he saw him holding a bundle in his hand.
"Where is the Kyuubi?" questioned Madara. He saw his student look down in disappointment.
"The Fourth Hokage was to strong for me, Kushina Uzumaki stabilized the Kyuubi by using her chakra chains and Minato sealed the Kyuubi's Yin-chakra and Yang-chakra inside his 2 baby girls, he then sealed the Kyuubi's soul and elemental chakra inside of his baby boy...but I did manage to get this boy, his parents died trying to protect him from the Kyuubi's Tailed Beast Bomb, on a crib inside the broken house the name Naruto was written on it, so I think this boys name is Naruto. He is a Uchiha." Obito hoped that the last part of his explanation would please Madara.
After moments of quietness Madara spoke up,"Give me the boy." Obito handed Naruto over with out a moment of hesitation. Naruto yawned and rubbed his eyes open, he looked at Madara's eyes and blinked. After moments of an intense stare down between Naruto and Madara, Naruto started crying and wailing.
Madara looked at Obito and spoke,"Handle the boy for now and give me him when he has grown."
"Sensei I can't watch this brat, I have things that I need to prepare for your plan," Obito complained. Madara sighed as he knew his student was correct. Madara estimated that he has about roughly 9 years until his death.
"Bring me some food and other things babies need and I will try to take care of him. If you see Zetsu by any chance tell him that I need his assistance for some spying that I need to be done," Madara ordered.
10 Years Later
In a dim cave room their was 3 people, 2 of which were surrounding the eldest member of the 3.
Obito has not changed much except his attire, he was wearing a closed cloak that was completely black but had red clouds floating on it and his broken mask has been replaced with a new mask that has orange swirls leading to one circle that allowed him to see out of one of his eyes.
Madara hasn't changed but is in a worse condition then he was before the 10 years that has passed.
Now Naruto is the one that changed, instead of the little baby they found now standing at 5'5 feet with gravity defying black hair with black and silver like eyes was Naruto Uchiha. Naruto was wearing a white cloak, underneath he was wearing nothing but ANBU style white colored pants.
Madara started to violently cough up blood, he looked up to both his apprentices,"I guess age has finally caught up to me," he paused to cough,"Obito continue with the plans I told you of and Naruto help out whenever Obito calls you," Madara finished the last part while looking at his younger student who nodded.
"Remember what I have taught you guys," each word left Madara's mouth slower then the ones before it and with the last word Madara died. Naruto closed his eyes and hummed to himself while Obito called out for Zetsu who promised to preserve Madara's body.
Obito stared at Naruto's downcast look for a moment giving the boy a moment to grieve for the death of his sensei, after awhile he thought that it was long enough,"Naruto that is enough, come with me we must go and meet up with the other akatsuki members," ordered Obito.
Naruto slowly looked up to the taller man,"I do what I want Obito," and with that Naruto started to walk away from the nameless cave location that they were currently at.
'I don't have time for this,' Obito thought as he brought his hand up about to force Naruto to listen to him through pain, just as Naruto was almost at the exit the butt end of a sword smacked him in the back and he burst in a puff of ravens.
'A clone! Dam the brat got me this time,' Obito turned his head to the ceiling in the room and spoke,"Zetsu find Naruto for me and when you do keep tabs on him, if he is doing anything that can be seen as a threat to akatsuki then report to me him location and I will quickly dispose of him," Obito knew that Naruto was different from him and Madara, he didn't have the same bond that Madara had with the boy so with Madara dead now their would be no reason for Naruto to stay.
Naruto sighed and gripped his backpack tighter when his clones memories came at him.
'Whats your next step now?' questioned a deep voice in the back of Naruto's head, the voice belonged to a man named Asura. Before Naruto responded to the man he recollected the memory of how he meet this man.
Flashback
A six year old Naruto was climbing a waterfall with Madara and Obito watching him at the top of the waterfall.
'So far so good,' was the thoughts of Naruto when he saw how close he was to the top. Naruto moved his feet to make another step forward when a falling object in the water was sent towards him.
"Shit I was to busy watching my feet that I didn't look at where I was going," he exlamied as the rock smacked his feet which made him lose focus and stop channeling chakra towards his feet.
When Obito saw Naruto falling from the very large waterfall he was about to jump down and save him but Madara held out his hand which made Obito stop and look at his Madara's serious complexion.
"Let him find a way to save himself, it will only make him stronger if he can survive this fall," Madara explained in a calm like fashion, Obito nodded his head in understanding. They then looked down to see what would happen.
Naruto had a panic expression on when he saw how close the jagged rocks on the bottom of the waterfall was getting. He realized that he wasn't getting saved by the other Uchihas because if they were then they would have been done it, when that realization came to him Naruto felt his vision sharpen and he could see the ground coming to him slower.
'Child, use that jutsu that you enjoy so much, the one that creates wind waves.' A voice said in Naruto's head.
Naruto immediately realized that the voice was right and immediately started forming hand seals,"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough," the amount of chakra Naruto poured into the jutsu was almost his capacity, but the effects of the jutsu was immediate and Naruto was flung back up to where he came from at a fast rate, he went a little higher then the waterfall in the air so when he landed it was still kinda painful.
Madara looked at Naruto and smirked when he saw the new eyes his student achieved,"Good work Naruto you saved yourself and now you have a new source of power as a reward, go rest up we will continue your training tomorrow." Naruto glared at Madara when he saw the smirk but he felt pride running through him from hearing that he finally unlocked the sharingan.
That night Naruto laid on the hard rock floor of the room he slept in.
'You still there?' he questioned the voice that he heard earlier.
After an intense five minutes of waiting Naruto felt a tug in his head, he went with the flow and appeared in a dark forest with thunder and lightning raging above it. Naruto recognized this place as his mind, Madara thought it was a good idea for ever Uchiha to be able to control his own thoughts, so he made Naruto go through tons of mediation activates.
'Follow the voice,' Naruto shrugged if it was a enemy he would not have saved him earlier, so he listened to the voice.
Naruto ended up inside of a cave with a man sitting in a Indian style position on the floor, the man had his eyes close, he has short, spiky brown hair two locks of which were wrapped in bandages framing either side of his face, and also had stern facial features. He also wore bandages around his forehead. He wore a light-colored kimono which was adorned with magatama around the collar. The kimono was held closed by a dark-colored sash.
Naruto's eyebrows rose at the site of the man,"And you are?" Naruto questioned him.
The man opened his eyes and revealed dark eyes his mouth moved to speak,"My name is Asura Otsutsuki, grandson of Kaguya Otsutsuki, son of Hagoromo Otsutsuki and brother of Indra Otsutsuki, may I ask what your name is?" Naruto was shocked at the man standing before him, being a student of a man who respected intellect he was forced to study history and know things about his ancestors, this man in from of him was THE Asura Otsutsuki the brother of Indra Otsutsuki the Uchiha's ancestors.
"M-my name is...Naruto...Uchiha," Naruto saw that the man didn't show any sign of being surprised after hearing that he was a Uchiha so he continued speaking,"May I ask what are you doing here? I'm a Uchiha shouldn't you be talking to a Senju or Uzumaki?"
Naruto was caught off guard when he saw the man began chuckling,"Naruto, I wouldn't be here if you were not a descendant of a Senju, have you ever wondered who your parents were?" Asura saw Naruto slowly nod and continued speaking,"Well I don't know anything about them other then the fact that your mother's dad was Izuna Uchiha and your father's dad was Hashirama Senju,"Asura paused to let all the info sink into Naruto's mind before he continued,"Hashirama was away when Mito Uzumaki his wife had your father, while she was resting someone in the darkness took your father and placed him in a orphanage for children who lost their parents in the war, you might be wondering how I know all this, well over the years after my death I have been able to talk to my brothers the Bijju through their minds until I found my next descendant, Kyuubi who is named Kurama was currently sealed inside Mito at that time so I saw the events that took place, the person that took your father was dressed from head to toe so I do not know who did it." Naruto thought over Asura's explanation.
"Dam I wish that I got to meet my parents, the only thing Obito said was that he saw me in their dead hands the night of they Kyuubi attack, it's a good thing that he left their bodies there they probably got the right burial they deserved." Naruto smiled at the thought of his parents, he wondered what type of people they were, his dad was probably easy going and energetic and his mom was probably strict but loving.
"Why chose me though?" Naruto questioned with a serious expression.
Asura actually smiled at the question,"Well who wouldn't take the chance to train and watch over a half Senju and half Uchiha brat?" He chuckled when he watch Naruto get angry at the brat part.
His expression hardened after a moment,"Naruto you have to promise me something," Naruto looked at Asura in the eyes,"you have to promise me that you will try to make a friendship or peace with my brother's descendant," Asura said with a serious expression.
"Well whoever Indra's descendant is, if I can tolerate them then I will allow them to work with me." Asura took that as a yes.
"Well then, what are you waiting for leave and get a goodnight rest, tomorrow I want you to complete that water climbing exercise, you will do it until you are able to walk on water without thinking." Asura told him. Naruto left his mind.
Naruto looked up at the ceiling of the cave,'Wow...I can't believe Madara is my great uncle,' a voice in Naruto's head chuckled.
End of Flashback
Naruto smiled at the memory, then frowned he is already starting to miss his Uncle Madara.
'I guess I'm going to go wherever the wind takes me,' Naruto smirked at the grunt of his ancestor Asura.
'Its ironic how this night is the beginning of Naruto Uchiha and this night is your birthday,' Asura smirked when he saw Naruto almost double over at forgetting that tonight was his own birthday and he forgot.
'Thanks for reminding me, even though their isn't any cake waiting for me,' Naruto sighed, his birthday wasn't that big of a deal, when Madara was alive each birthday Naruto had he would learn a new jutsu.
'I guess my birthday present this year is a dead Madara,' Naruto chuckled dryly at his own joke.
Asura took this as a moment to speak up,'Cheer up, maybe this birthday you can do something for me...it will be an adventure you will enjoy it quite much.' Naruto's stopped walking at the thought of a adventure.
'And what would that be?' questioned Naruto.
Asura didn't speak up for a moment when Naruto was about to ask again he spoke up,'I'm sure you heard that some members of the Senju clan created the Uzumaki clan that made a home near the Land of Waves called The Village Hidden by Whirling Tides. Well I would like to check out my Uzumaki children's village even if it is destroyed.' Naruto respected Asura for being a family man.
'Alright lets go!' Naruto exclaimed as he started jumping from tree branch to tree branch. The trip to The Land of Waves took Naruto a long time to reach because this was his first time traveling so far so he had no idea where he was heading and Asura was no help because the world had changed so much sense he was alive he could not remember every single place directions only the name of said place. Since neither of them had any idea how to get to the Land of Waves they had to constantly ask people on their way or find someone to ask.
The finally arrived when they saw a lopsided sign that said,"Welcome to the Land of Waves," one of Naruto's eyebrows rose at the condition of the sign. He entered the village.
"I'm freaking hungry," Naruto sighed out loud when his stomach grumbled. He walked around hoping to find a place where he could get some food.
Naruto felt the insides of his pockets and pulled out his wallet, he had some of the money Obito found when he destroyed a bandit camp.
'Good, more then enough money to survive for awhile.'
Naruto took a look at his surroundings, the village looked in bad shape some of the shops were destroyed and their was a gigantic statue in the middle of the village that was made of gold of a fat midget.
Asura decided to voice his thoughts,'Seems like this village is in control of a very wealthy man, I've seen the likes of this while traveling with my brother and father.'
'Maybe I could test my myself and help out this village,' Naruto smirked at the thought of fighting super strong enemy ninja, this fat midget probably has enough money to higher strong ninja.
Naruto heard a loud female shout and he knew that meant trouble, so he choose to follow the shout. When he arrived at the scene he saw two ninja of The Village Hidden by the Mist, he recognized them as the Demon Brothers he never took the time to realize their name, but he knew that the relied on their teamwork both of them having large metal gauntlets attached to one of their hands and having poison on a claw on their other hand, plus they had a shuriken-styled chain that they used together.
Naruto saw that they were holding a young women in their hands who had dark blue hair and black eyes, she was wearing a short-sleeved pink shirt with the end of the sleeves and the collar being red in color, with a long blue skirt.
'Save her from these scum,' Asura ordered, Naruto didn't like being ordered but decided to do it because he wanted to.
"What are you guys doing with this women?" Naruto's voice rang through the clearing, the Demon brother's heads snapped towards Naruto's direction.
"Its just a brat no need to worry," one of the brothers commented.
"Hey kid leave now and we might not come back and harm you," one of the brothers ordered.
"My name is not kid its Naruto Uchiha and what if I chose to stay here and kill you guys?" Naruto asked. The brothers tensed for a moment after hearing that this kid was apart of the feared Uchiha clan but then smirked as they thought it was just a weak genin trying to play hero.
The women looked into the eyes of the kid that came to help her she saw determination in those eyes. The Demon Brothers dropped her on the floor and kicked her in the stomach to make sure she does not get up. The turned back to the kid and saw him drop his hands out of his long sleeved cloak. The dust started kicking up beneth the feet of the Demon Brothers and they shoot towards Naruto.
Naruto's blood started pumping at the excitement of battle.
One of the Demon Brothers got close enough to punch Naruto but he grabbed his hands and kneed him in the stomach getting a sharp gasp out of the brother. The other one tried to claw at Naruto but made the mistake of staring into his 3 tomoe sharingan and was immediately captured in a genjutsu.
Naruto took the time to slit the other brother's throat who was still in immense pain from Naruto's chakra enchanted knee. He then killed the other one who was stuck in some illusion where he saw Naruto die from the poison in his claw.
Naruto smirked as he looked at his first kill, others would be in shock at taking someones life but Naruto was proud of defeating chunin level ninja so easy and saving a beautiful women at the same time.
'It was easy because they underestimated you.' Naruto frowned when he heard Asura speak, that bastard had to ruin his moment, just then Naruto heard a groan and smacked himself in the face. He was so preoccupied in his own gloating that he forgot that he didn't check on the person he just saved.
He ran over to the women and kneed down while turning off his sharingan, he raised her head and rubbed her stomach. Asura chuckled at the sight,'You are defiantly not cut out to be a medical ninja, lift her up and get her some help. She is not going to die, she is just in pain from the kick she received in the stomach.' Naruto listened to Asura and lifted up the young women bridal style.
"Tsunami...my name is Tsunami thank you for helping me," spoke the women in Naruto's hands, he looked down and saw her staring at him in the eyes.
"Are you okay?" Naruto questioned her.
"Ya I've been through worse, but they were never ninja just some bandits that came around trying to show off their ruler ship." Naruto sighed at the thought of more of these types of bastards. Naruto was not a very peaceful person but he did stand by morals, Madara always told him that a Uchiha should never demote themselves by taking away a women's innocents in a forceful manner.
"Tell me where you live and I will take you there," Naruto told her in a soft manner. While she guided him through the small village she explained to Naruto the village's condition and Naruto took in every single detail he could. He finally reached her house, it actually looked pretty good sense it was in a isolated area the man named Gato Tsunami told him about was probably unaware the house was here, but there was a chance that he would find out pretty soon.
When Naruto was in sight of the house the door immediately opened and a man stepped out Naruto recognized this man as Kaiza Tsunami's husband from her explanations, Kaiza had short spiky black hair and black eyes, he had a small white rope tied around his head which was tied on the right side of his head and a small x-shaped scar on his chin, he wore a black T-shirt that had a white outline and a white pair of pants, he also had scars on his arms.
A little boy followed Kaiza out who was named Inari Tsunami's son from her explanations, Inari has spiky black hair and dark-colored eyes, he wore a green jumpsuit with a yellow shirt and a simple pair of sandals.
A old man followed the little boy who was named Tazuna Tsunami's grandfather from her explanations, Tazuna is a grey-haired, bespectacled man with a large beard and dark eyes, he wore a sleeveless v-neck shirt with an obi, pants and a pair of sandals, he also carried a towel around his neck and wore a pointed hat on his head.
"Tsunami-chan!" exclaimed the worried voice of Kaiza. He ran up to her while Naruto slowly dropped her and helped her stand.
"Mom!" Inari ran up and hugged her mom's leg while Tazuna walked up towards the group.
"Kaiza-kun, this is Naruto Uchiha, he is a ninja that saved me from those horrid Demon Brothers," Tsunami cried on Kaiza's chest the stress of almost getting rapped coming back at her.
Kaiza turned to Naruto and placed one hand on the back of Tsunami's back while the other one was extended waiting for Naruto to shake it which Naruto did.
"Thank you for saving my wife, my name is Kaiza, I am in your dept." Kaiza gave Naruto a big smile.
"Eh, it was no problem, I saw her getting manhandled so I decided to help, plus it gave me a chance to fight a really strong enemy." Naruto gave the family a small smile.
That night they invited Naruto into their house, Kaiza and Tazuna cooking dinner that night, they didn't want Tsunami to go work at all that night. When they started eating they watched as Naruto wolfed down his food at a enormous pace, when he saw the looks that they were giving him he just shrugged his shoulder and told them that he was really hungry and hasn't eaten in awhile.
"Naruto I'm sure that you saw the bad condition of the village and Tsunami-chan explained it to you. I know that I shouldn't be asking for anymore help after you saving my wife but can you please help us fight Gato and his followers?" Kaiza spoke up looking at Naruto with pleading eyes.
'If you accept you might get to fight any other ninja that Gato has hired, plus you saw that gold statue that little bastard must be loaded.' Naruto nodded his head in agreement with Asura, this could be a win win situation for for him and the citizens of The Land of Waves.
"I'll help, tomorrow I'll come with you guys to the bridge and guard the workers. Now tell me more of this village." That night Naruto gained a lot of useful information, like how Uzushio(The Land of the Whirlpool) was nearby.
The next day Naruto was outside on top of the roof sitting in Indian style position, he did not get a single second of sleep last night.
Naruto heard the people in the house he was on top of making breakfast and talking about how today was going to be a good day. Naruto Body Flickered inside the house appearing inside the living room where all the family members were making their preparations for the day in a cloud of ravens.
"Whoa, brother Naruto that was cool can you teach me how to do that?" Inari asked Naruto with awe stricken eyes, Naruto ruffled the kids hair and told him maybe later.
"Tazuna and Kaiza, I need you two to stay here today, I sensed some strong chakra source at the bridge the whole day and it is not friendly," it was really Asura who sensed it but Naruto didn't think that information was needed to be known,"it might be a big fight and I don't want either of you getting caught in the cross fire."
Then men nodded their heads in agreement. Kaiza then spoke up,"Don't worry about damaging the bridge we just started it yesterday and don't worry about any of the workers being there we gave them this day off." Naruto felt good hearing that type of information.
"Alright guys I may or may not be back here later," Naruto flashed them a smile, but before he could leave Tsunami gave him a big hug and Naruto felt something close to motherly love even though he never experienced it before and he received a hug and pat of the back from both Tazuna and Kaiza when Inari gave him a tearful hug.
"You better come back," they said. Naruto gave them one last look before he left and followed the chakra source Asura could sense.
When Naruto arrived at the bridge he saw a site that both shocked and excited him, right on the water underneath the bridge stood someone who was a tall and muscular man with pale skin, short spiky black hair, brown eyes, and small eyebrows, he had bandages wrapped around his mouth like a mask, he was shirtless, with his chest only covered by a belt to which he attached his Kubikiribōchō(A bigass sword that showed his affilation as one of the 7 Ninja Swordman of the Mist), he was wearing baggy pants with the striped pattern typical of Kirigakure(The Village Hidden in the Mist) and mimetic wrist-warmers extending up to his elbows, with matching leg-warmers, Naruto realized this man a Zabuza Momochi, Demon of the Hidden Mist.
He looked to Zabuza's side and saw a teenager maybe 3 to 5 years older then himself who had long black hair, pale skin and large, dark-brown eyes, a slender frame, and was also quite short for his age, his outfit consisted of the standard Kirigakure pinstriped outfit which stopped at his knees, over this he wore a green haori with white trimmings, and around his waist a brown sash with a fringed trail wrapped around his waist twice, this teenager was Haku, Zabuza's partner in crime.
"Dam I never thought Gato would hire such strong ninja," stated a still in shock Naruto.
Zabuza and Haku looked at the young male, Zabuza spoke up,"Are you a ninja? If so was it you that killed the Deomon brothers?"
Naruto smirked,"Ya it was me," he stated proudly.
"And why is that brat?" Zabuza questioned him.
"It's because wave is now under my protection, either leave now or face the power of Naruto Uchiha!" Naruto threatened them.
"Me and Haku would love to face the power of a little brat like you," Naruto could see the outline of a smirk underneath Zabuza's mask.
A mist started forming around the bridge and Naruto activated his sharingan and realized that this mist was made from chakra. Naruto started to feel a over powering urge to kill himself right then and there.
'Killing intent, gahh...Madara-sensei did not train me enough for this,' Naruto slowly scanned the field.
'Kill Haku first, she is a ice user,' Asura informed him. Naruto was glad that Asura's ability to sense chakra was still their even though it was not as strong as in the past, it still came in handy.
Just then Naruto saw a shift in the mist thanks to his sharingan and raised a kunai from his pouch swiftly to block the incoming strike. Zabuza's gigantic sword came crushing on Naruto's kunai, Naruto had to channel chakra through the kunai to make it stronger.
"Brat, today is the day you will find out why they call me the Demon of the Mist," a dark chuckle said from the owner of the blade that began to overpower Naruto's kunai.
'Make no mistake Naruto, this guy will kill you in a moment of hesitation!' Asura commented from the inside of Naruto's mind.
Right when the big sword was about to crush Naruto's kunai Asura's voice popped up,'Naruto, BEHIND YOU!' he exclaimed.
'Dam it, I forgot about the ice user,' was the only thought that flashed in Naruto's mind at that moment.
