Naruto: mystery of the soul.
Everyone knows that the Kyubbi was sealed into Naruto at the time of his birth, but what if something got put into the seal with it. What Strange changes would occur because of it. A more powerful, smarter Naruto emerges. FemHaku. Good Sasuke. Sakura annoying at times. NOT godlike will be beat up. NON-MASSACRE No-Yaoi
Authors note: There will be many abnormal pairings, some will develop early on like the one you will see in this chapter (no spoilers on who it is and it won't develop completely this chapter)
The Yondaime Hokage Minato Namikaze looked over to his left, his beautiful village that had retained heavy damage in the kyuubi attack, next he looked to his right, there he saw the beast that had caused it all that was just finished being absorbed into his son, Naruto. Then he looked forwards just barely a meter in front of him on the ground, His wife and said son.
"Kushina, I'll be there soon. Naruto, goodbye, please forgive me for placing this burden on you, but I believe in you my son".
He gave his final words to his sleeping son and dead wife, never seeing the little purple wisp fly into the seal on his son's stomach or the Shinigami's small smile as it disappeared as the last of the light left Minato's eyes.
A Few Minutes Later
The third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, Arrived minutes later with a squad of ANBU to the scene of Minato and Kushina lying in a slight circle around a now awakened and crying Naruto. The old Hokage sighed, knowing what they had done.
"What shall be done lord Hokage?" A cat (Yamato) masked Anbu asked.
"Bring the bodies to the village" Hiruzen said as he knelt down and picked up the baby boy who had stopped crying and was reaching for the old Hokage.
"We will have a funeral for the dead in a couple days time." He said as he stared at the boy in his arms sadly.
He started walking back to the village with the now quiet baby boy that was looking at him with such an adorable expression he just had to crack a small smile.
'He will have such a hard life. I will do my best to fulfill your dying wish Minato' He thought with determination in his mind.
In the village there were riots in the streets as civilians called for the 'Demon brats' head.
The newly reinstated Third Hokage had just announced to the council and then the village of what had happened and even announced the fourths dying wish that the boy be seen as a hero, but it wasn't enough. The people wanted 'justice' for what the damn demon did to their village and the 'demon brat' was the perfect outlet.
Only about ten percent of the actual population of konohagakure didn't want to kill him. 5 of that 10 percent wanted him to be used as a weapon 3 percent just didn't care at all, and the last two percent felt sympathy for the boy and wanted to help him.
And so the boy stayed with the Hokage in the Hokage tower for the night before the next day the third called another meeting outside the tower and claimed the sealing to be an S class secret and that should anyone tell any of the younger generation about it, they would be executed.
The next day saw the third Hokage looking out the window with little Naruto in his arms. Today it was much calmer; people weren't out to get the boys blood all the time. The people of the village were just now heading to the burial site to have the mass burial. The third gave Naruto over to a Neko masked ANBU. Then he walked to the burial site alone to give his speech to the village.
At the site the people were waiting in silence for the Hokage to take the stand and begin his speech. And begin he did.
"PEOPLE OF KONOHA… tragedy has struck… our beloved leader the Yondaime Hokage, has fallen, but in his final moments… he sealed the beast that caused so much pain for us. I ask that you honor his memory… Honor his last wishes… this is a grave time for us… for all of us. We have lost so many. We don't need to lose more. I ask that you honor his last wish and see the child that he gave up his life to seal the biju into AS A HERO… If you cannot do this, this tree has truly fallen."
To say that the people were mad would be an understatement. THEY WERE FURIOUS to think that he would bring up the damn demon brat at the funeral of their beloved friends, family and Hokage. The only ones that truly seemed to take his suggestion to mind were very few in the croud. They were Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha who were both friends of the Namikaze and Uzumaki couple. They now had complete certainty in their friends sealing prowess.
The next to reconsider were Ayame and Teuchi Ichiraku who were very fond of the couple who also had complete confidence in them.
And the last to reconsider was a young Iruka Umino who was just old enough to understand what was happening and who was smart enough to know that there is a difference between the scroll and the kunai sealed into it.
Once the funeral service was finished people started swarming the Hokage tower demanding that the demon be put to death.
Inside the Hokage's office Hiruzen and a couple ANBU and well known jonin were in the office with little Naruto.
"What shall we do lord Hokage?" asked Neko
"Take him out and away from the tower to the less populated area of the village that is still standing"
"But why lord Hokage?"
"Just do as I say and be careful not to be seen. Bring him to the orphanage 'if it's still standing' there and make sure they know it's a direct order from the Hokage to treat him right".
"What will you do about the villagers Hokage-sama" asked Asuma (the thirds son)
"I will try to pacify them… It was wrong of me to even think of bringing him up at the funeral…"
"Very well it will be done Hokage-sama"
Twenty minutes later at the orphanage
A small amount of killing intent came from one Neko ANBU as the civilian in charge of the orphanage denied the boy entry for the third time. The ANBU had just lost her patience and resorted to threatening him if he didn't let the boy stay there. Lets just say the civilian was no match for even that small amount of KI she leaked out.
"V-very w-well ANBU-san r-right this way." He said stuttering in fear.
Instantly the KI stopped and he felt he could breath again. Deciding against arguing more he led her and the boy up to a very small room for a baby and Neko placed the baby in a crib. She then turned to the proprietor of the orphanage.
"If you mistreat this boy there will be hell to pay, do you understand me?" She leaked a small amount of KI to get her point across.
"Y-y-yes N-neko-san, we will not mistreat him I promise!"
"Hn" Replied Neko and stopped the KI.
The proprietor left the room to get some food for the boy and ANBU soon turned to leave as well but turned back at the door.
"Good luck little Naruto. Your gonna need it." And with that she turned and left.
At the Hokage office
The elders and Hiruzen were having quite a lengthy discussion on what to do with the boy.
"I still think we should make him into a weapon but I can see that look in your eyes old friend. A look I remember from a long time ago. I will follow your example" Said the old war-hawk Danzo Shimura.
"You better Danzo or you will start to remember why I still hold the moniker kami no Shinobi (God of shinobi)" Hiruzen replied
"Very well we will take our leave then" Homura stated
As one all three left in a single Hiruzen not seeing the small smile Danzo was wearing 'I am already starting to see the one I used to see old friend. But I will have that boy whether you like it or not' he thought as he walked out of the room and closed the door.
Hiruzen sighed once more as he put his head in his hands. He stayed in that position for a couple more seconds before his voice sounded out.
"Report, Neko"
"Mission accomplished, Hokage-sama" She replied as she appeared in front of his desk before bowing
"Good, get me Kakashi Hatake in here now"
"But Hokage-sama are you sure he is the best choice to tail the boy?"
"Do you think he's not Neko"
"In my honest opinion Hokage-sama, I don't think he is fit for any duty like this right now… I talked to him before the funeral Hokage-sama. He shows signs of depression over the loss of someone so close to him."
He narrowed his eyes "I know that but everyone else already has their own duty's and he's one of the only people I can trust to step in if something were to happen." He replied
"Very well Hokage-sama I'll find him"
"Oh and Neko take a couple hours off once you talk to him, you deserve it for all you've done today." He said with a small smile
"Thank you Hokage-sama"
The memorial stone an hour later
She found Kakashi was sitting right in front of the memorial stone that he seemed to visit ever more often these days. The tears on his mask had long since dried into his mask.
"I'll visit tomorrow, Sensei" He said as Neko appeared
"Kakashi Hatake you are to report to the Hokage for an assignment immediately"
"Oh, Yūgao-chan didn't see you there and don't be like that you don't need to be so formal, it's just me" he said with eye smile of his though it looked more pained than usual.
She nodded and took off her mask showing her beautiful face framed by her purple hair. "Well you're wanted in the Hokage Office for a mission involving his son so you better get up there"
"Don't you know it's against protocol to take off your mask while on duty?" He said with a wink
"Oh you don't have to be so formal Kakashi-sempai, It's just me. And I just got off duty now that I told you" Mimicking his words with a wink as she walked off.
He felt his heart flutter a bit when he heard her call him Kakashi-sempai. In truth he had developed a small crush on her when he was on his ANBU team.
And so with renewed sense of self he walked to the Hokage tower.
In the Hokage office 5 minutes later
"Kakashi Hatake reporting for duty"
The old Hokage looked up from his thrice damned paperwork in shock.
THE KAKASHI HATAKE WAS ON TIME.
"What do I have something on my face" When in reality he was only on time because he heard the mission had something to do with Naruto and he knew why it had surprised the old man.
The Hokage just gave him a supremely amused look.
Authors note: Yes I know in Canon Yūgao falls in love with Hayate but in here they are just extremely good friends and shes kinda likes Kakashi.
So on to the important stuff tell me how I did and if its good or not. This is my very first story ever. Review and tell me what I did wrong or things that I did right or other constructive criticism or just leave a word of encouragement BUT the one thing I will not take is anonymous flaming for no good reason like saying I'm a piece of trash and nothing else.
ByeBye
