It was October tenth…six years after the Kyuubi attack. The entirety of Konoha was filled with the cheers and celebrations to the 'death' of the Kyuubi no Kitsune. The bars were filled to the brim with celebrating shinobi; the festival was brimming with joy. It appeared as if everyone was having a good time…appeared is the key word.
On the other side of town a young child, blond haired and with beautiful cerulean blue eyes…as sitting alone in his run down apartment complex. His name was Naruto Uzumaki…the container of the Kyuubi no Kitsune. He was an orphan, he had no friends, and he never knew love.
He had been sitting in the apartment since morning…his Jiji had told him that he was to remain in his apartment on this day…his own Birthday. It was funny really…the day that was supposed to be the best in the year, was actually the worst.
Naruto would get constant beatings, and on his birthdays they were the worst. Last year he had gone to the festival and was attacked by a group of drunks. He had been corned in an alley and beaten near death. When he awoke he found himself in the hospital…again.
He had been literally thrown out the next day…only to return the day after with an even worse condition.
After that his Jiji told him that he was to stay inside on his birthdays…and so here he was…alone…waiting for his Jiji to unlock the door the next day.
Naruto decided to go to the kitchen and check on his project. He got up and quickly went to the kitchen where his project was. Sitting right there was probably the most beautiful plant anyone had ever seen. It had beautiful leaves that had a perfect texture. The flowers drooped in the morning…but at night they stood up to show a beautiful blue flower. It was probably the rarest and most difficult flower to grow in all of fire country.
It was called a Tenshiran, or Angels Orchid. It was so difficult to grow that no one was able to tell if the legends about it were true.
It is said that when the Orchid reaches the end of its first pollination cycle the stems release nectar that is said to cure all poisons. It was also said that the Orchid could regrow a destroyed limb in under a few hours…some even said that it had such a high water content that it was incapable of being burned.
Naruto had gotten a seedling when he was on a trip with his Jiji to the fire daimyo. He remembered that day so well that he could see it every time he closed his eyes.
Flashback
The Sandaime had gone to the fire daimyo to secure a meeting with the newest daimyo of Hi no Kuni. Since he was too afraid to leave Naruto in Konoha without his protection he decided to bring him with him.
When they arrived Naruto was quivering. Over the years he had been abused so badly that he became extremely wary of other people, fearing they would hurt him. Naruto had lost many a chance to make friends because of it.
The daimyo personally met Sarutobi at the gates with a young girl. She was about a year or so older than Naruto. She was introduced as the Daimyo's daughter. Naruto quickly hid behind his Jiji's legs.
The girl saw this and walked over to him, "Hi…what's your name?" Naruto looked at the girl with a quivering expression.
"N-Naruto…Uzu-maki…" He edged away as she got a little closer.
"Naruto?" she seemed to go into thought before she shouted with glee, "That's a nice name." She smiled at the blond and grabbed his hand, "Hey come one…come play with me." She dragged Naruto from behind the Hokage and went off to the nearby Koi pond. The daimyo chuckled at his daughters actions.
"Well Sarutobi…it seems that my daughter likes the boy. How about we hold off on negotiations and go check out the little ones?" Sarutobi smiled at the daimyo…
"I guess so Sora…after all, how often do we get a chance like this?" He pulled out a camera as the two walked over to the two kids.
Naruto was twiddling his feet as the daimyo's daughter dragged him over to the koi pond. She had long black hair, lovely golden eyes with a single black slit. Naruto was scared by her eyes…she dragged him over to the koi pond and she sat down, dragging Naruto with her.
The two spent most of the day together, just sitting by the koi pond. Naruto slowly got closer and closer to her. When he got close enough that the two could hold hands he actually smiled…it was the first real smile he had in a long time. But his mood dropped when he saw that it was getting dark out, the girl saw this and asked him, "What's wrong Naruto?" Naruto let a sad sigh out and spoke.
"After today I probably won't ever se you again…you're the first friend I ever had…I don't want to lose that." The girl smiled sadly and tug into her pocket. She pulled out a small bag and gave it to Naruto.
"This is the rarest flower in all of Hi no Kuni…I want you to grow it Naruto…and I promise, that one day I will come to Konoha and marry you." Naruto's eyes widened at that proclamation. Marry Him?
He smiled a goofy grin and yelled out, "I promise you…I will grow this plant no matter how hard it is to grow. I will not rest until it is the most beautiful flower in all of Hi no Kuni…Datte Bayo." The girl smiled and gave him a peck on the cheek, not being able to take that much in one day he fainted.
End Flashback
Since that day he had spent every day of every hour nurturing the plant into what it is now. For some reason he was great with plants, one time he managed to bring a tree that was near death back to life just by watering and weeding it…sure he spent a bit of time talking to the tree…not that it could answer. But he always felt he needed to speak to every plant he saw…he never understood why.
Naruto was about to water the plant with some special mineral water when he heard banging at the door. He was about to go and see if it was his Jiji when he heard it crash open and he heard angry shouts, 'Where's the demon' 'Find it' 'This is the night it dies'. Naruto was terrified and quickly grabbed the plant. He ran to the other side of the room and opened a special hath he had spent a month working on. He quickly opened the door and then shut it behind him before jumping down the chute. He made sure his flower did not get hit on the walls as he shot out of the chute into the street. He tumbled in a way that he would take most of the blow while the Tenshiran would not get hurt.
He quickly got up and was about to head for the Hokage tower when, "It's the demon…get it!" Naruto turned to see a shinobi being flanked by about a dozen civilians running at him. He quickly tucked tail and ran as fast as he could.
He ran into an alley and hid behind a trashcan. He watched as the mob passed by and breathed a sigh of relief. He got up…but he was knocked down when he felt a crushing blow delivered to his chest. He skidded and hit the end of the alley. He looked up and saw that the alley went a different route. He got up and was about to run when he saw another angry mob at the other end of the alley.
He began to cower in fear as a couple Jounin closed in on him; "Time to die demon" one of them pulled out a flame bladed sai and stabbed Naruto in the arm. Naruto squealed in pain as he dropped to the ground, but held a tight grip on his flower.
The shinobi and civilians kept on beating him, but when they saw that he was ignoring the blows, paying close attention to the flower in his arms they decided to take a different approach, "So…that little plant is important to you huh…well, let's see how you like us burning it." The shinobi grabbed the flower and tried to pry it from his arms. Naruto held onto it tightly as the shinobi tugged harder, "Let go of the plant demon!" Naruto only held tighter as the shinobi tired to pry it from his arms.
"No…leave me alone…leave me alone." Naruto screamed, "LEAVE ME ALONE!" as he screamed a massive output of chakra was felt as the shinobi was knocked away from Naruto. The shinobi pulled out a katana, "That's it you shit…DIE" he ran at Naruto and was about to stab him in the heart…when the sword suddenly stopped.
The shinobi was shocked and felt a pressure around his limbs. He looked down and was shocked to see a vine wrapped around his arm. He looked down and found that it was keeping him from attacking the blond.
The civilians screamed, "The demons breaking free…kill it!" the civilians charged only to be stopped by hundreds of vines grabbing their limbs and hanging them off the ground. The shinobi saw this and were shocked to the core, 'That's the bloodline of the Shodaime…the one that allowed him to control demons…but how can…oh my god what have we done' realization passed through the shinobi as they realized that only a human could command the Mokuton…but one shinobi clearly was an idiot, "How dare you use the Shodaimes bloodline you demon." He ran through some hand seals, "Kage Shuriken no Jutsu" a single shuriken he threw became hundreds as they shot at the blond…not caring that many civilians would die because of it.
The civilians watched as the shuriken came towards them…they closed their eyes and waited for the inevitable. Naruto saw the shuriken coming and began thinking a mile a minute, 'what do I do…they may hate me…but I don't want them to die…someone please help them.' As if the vines were listening they dropped the civilians and began shifting and turning into sheets. The sheets folded like paper and shot towards the shuriken. The shuriken stopped as each piece sliced the shuriken in half. The civilians watched as the shuriken fell to the ground as the sheets unfolded…they were paper. The paper went straight towards Naruto and began dissipating into raw chakra.
As the chakra entered the body Naruto collapsed…the shinobi ran towards the blond as the one that threw the shuriken was restrained. The civilians looked at Naruto…confused and afraid…why would the demon save them?
The shinobi were mentally hitting themselves for being so stupid…the one who led the mob grabbed Naruto as carefully as he could…he was amazed that the blond was holding so tightly on the plant. It must have meant a lot to the blond. The shinobi quickly turned around and ran to the hospital…paying that the damage he did was not life threatening.
The Next Day…Council Chambers
When Sarutobi had heard of Naruto's condition he was outrage. But he was happy that Naruto finally unlocked the Mokuton…now the villagers could not say he was Kyuubi. When he told the council he was hoping for good reactions…however…this is not what he expected.
The council demanded to know how it was that the 'demon brat' had the Mokuton of the Shodaime, others were proposing that he be used as a breeding stock…others like the Hyuuga and Uchiha clans were proposing marriage contracts. Finally Sarutobi had enough, "SHUT-UP...now before all of you start going crazy I will say this once and for all…I do not know how Naruto has the Mokuton. However, since he has the Mokuton it must mean he's a descendent of the Shodaime." The council erupted in conversation again…
"Sandaime-sama…if he is in fact a descendent of the Shodaime, why is it he has not shown his ability in the Mokuton until now?" The Sandaime glared at the councilmen…
"Because the Mokuton…unlike other kekkei genkai does not activate until the holder of the bloodline reaches a certain age. Even then they have to be in a life threatening position to activate it." The shinobi council looked down; they knew that Naruto was merely a scroll and Kyuubi the kunai. It disgusted them that Naruto was treated worse than the most despicable of criminals.
A member of the shinobi council spoke up…it was the head of the med-nin division, "Hokage-sama…with all due respect. I would like to do a blood test to see how closely Naruto is related to the Shodaime. Perhaps we can find his parents." The Sandaime cringed…Minato was dead…and there had been no sign of Kushina since after the attack. He had sent ANBU to look for her to find absolutely nothing.
A member of the clan committee spoke up, "Sandaime-sama, if Naruto has the Mokuton, then that means he is the heir of the Senju family. If that is the case we must contact Tsunade, if we cannot locate his parents then she should be able to raise him." The Sandaime went into thought; he had been trying for years to get a reason for Tsunade to come back, maybe the chance of meeting family would be enough to bring her back.
"I agree." The Hokage flicked his wrist as an ANBU appeared, "Have someone locate Tsunade, tell her we found a relative of hers." The ANBU did a quick bow and left. Sarutobi was about to address the council when Fugaku spoke up, "Hokage-sama…what of the regards to the boys future? If he is indeed a member of the Senju family, then I humbly request that he be betrothed to a member of my clan. The Senju and Uchiha were rivals, and the chance for an alliance will be most beneficial to the future of our clans." Fugaku was interrupted by Hiashi who did a quick glare at the Uchiha clan head…
"Fugaku, you only wish to increase the strength of your clan…besides. I feel it would be more beneficial if he were to marry my firstborn. So far she shows no signs of becoming a true clan head. And I have seen how she takes glances at the boy. As such I wish to arrange a marriage between the two." The council continued in uproar until Danzo shouted…
"Why not give him to me…I can make him the most powerful shinobi in Konoha. With his skills in Mokuton, and whatever that paper technique is…along with the Kyuubi's chakra, we could train him to surpass even the greatest of shinobi. None would ever dare oppose our power." The civilians at first agreed with Danzo, until Tsume snapped at the war hawk.
"Danzo you old fool. Do you honestly think we will let you take care of the pup after what we found in your Ne headquarters…or have you forgotten why we shut down your little group?" Danzo sneered at the woman as he sat down.
Sarutobi sighed in frustration, he finally made his decision, "I will allow the medical corps to take a blood sample and attempt to find his parentage. Once Tsunade returns we may be able to find some more information on the subject. As for the marriage contracts…come to my office later and we will discuss that matter." Sarutobi got up and was about to call the meeting to an end when an ANBU appeared in the room…
"Sandaime-sama…Naruto is gone." The council looked at the ANBU as if he had grown a second head…
"WHAT!?" The ANBU cowered in fear as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a note…
"This is all I found my lord." The Sandaime took the letter and read it…
Dear Jiji, I am leaving Konoha for awhile. If I can't even be safe in my own apartment on my birthday then I can't stay here until I am strong enough to defend myself. I will return in time to take the final year of the genin exams.
Yours Truly, Naruto Uzumaki
Sarutobi sighed as he read the letter, "It seems Naruto has left the village…he will return for the final year of the genin exams." The civilians screamed in outrage…
"How can you be so casual about his, the last known heir of the Senju clan that possess' the Mokuton has left the village, at the possibility of dying. Taking the Mokuton with him!" The Sandaime glared at the civilians…
"You did not care for him until after he got his bloodline…and since Naruto does not possess the Senju name he is not under the jurisdiction of the clan committee. Also, since the Mokuton only occurred in the Shodaime we have not registered it as a Konoha bloodline, thus we can do nothing about it." The head of the civilian council screamed in outrage, her pink hair flopping everywhere.
"He is a relation of the Senju clan, we cannot risk their extinction. I move for a vote that we send our hunter-nin squads out and capture him, lock hi up until he is of suitable breeding age, and then have him impregnate women who will carry the Senju clans legacy!" Many of the civilians agreed, but a quick burst of killing intent shut them up…
"So you would have Naruto be a father to children of women who he will never even know. I will not allow any of you to do that to him. He will choose who he wishes to marry and there is not a single thing any of you can say to change my mind." The head of the clan committee spoke up…
"But Sandaime-sama…you realize that Naruto falls under the clan restoration act. As such whether he likes it or not he will have to impregnate multiple women to build up his clan." Sarutobi sighed as he remembered that law. The only one who managed to avoid that law was Minato, and that was because Kushina was so damn dangerous that no one wanted to mess with her.
"I understand…we will discuss this further, those who wish to propose marriage contracts, please come to my office later…dismissed." The council members left the room. Several went to the Sandaime's office, including the heads of the Hyuuga, Uchiha, Kurama, and other clans. Others like Shina Haruno got their hired ANBU units and ordered them to locate Naruto Uzumaki at once…
Meanwhile Naruto was leaving the forest surrounding Konoha's walls. He had escaped about three hours ago and had avoided being spotted by the local shinobi…he quickly took out a map that the Sandaime gave him and looked through it.
'Alright…so I am here' he pointed at a point on the map, 'And Konoha is here' he pointed another place. 'So far I have several options. I could head to Suna, Nami, or any other countries…but which one?' Naruto crossed his legs and looked at the map, 'Suna is too far from here, so it will take a long time for me to get there. And I don't have the supplies to get there either. Nami seems to be the best bet. I can stock up and head to Suna afterwards.' And with that decision Naruto got his bag and carefully opened it. In it was a specially made box. He opened it to see the Tenshiran in it…
After he had tended to the plant he packed up and headed towards Nami no Kuni…unaware that he was being followed…
