Hello people how are you. I'm new to Fanfiction, so go easy on me. My name is sharp, or Bryson if you prefer that.
'Thought'
"talk"
And start…
A man with long blond hair stood looking down at the baby on the ground. He could fell his life leaving his body. He knew that the sealing of the nine tailed fox would kill him. He had entrusted his son with the monster knowing that he was the only person he could trust. Now he needed to keep his son out of the wrong hands.
During the attack he devised a plan that would send his son away from the people that would harm him. He remembered a time when his grandfather told him that he was had fought in a great war against a monster named Mehrunes Dagon, but when his grandfather called upon the nine, as he called it, he was caught in the blast sending him to the outskirts of Kohana he was found by some people and healed up.
Minato had spent some amount of time on this. He was a sealing master and planned to rip a time space hole and send Naruto in to his grandfather's world. But time was of the essences. He pulled a scroll out of his pack and placed it on top of Naruto.
He then drew a seal and kneeled down next to it. About this time all the other shinobi had gathered around the clearing. All watching what was going on. They had seen the baby and the seal, and were trying to figure out what was going on.
Minato placed his hands on the seal and pumped his last bit of charka into it. The glow lit up the clearing blinding all the people. After a few seconds the bright light faded and the people could see.
They looked towards the center only to Minato fall to the ground.
"Hokage-sama!" The ANBU ran to his side and checked his pulse. One looked to the other and shook his head. The Fourth was dead.
(other place)
In a blinding light the boy appeared still sound asleep. Unknown to him something was watching him in the shadows of the night. The creature that saw him came forth from the shadows. It walked over and looked down on the boy.
It reached out to the sleeping boy and as it did the hand became human. When it picked up the boy it showed that the person who had picked him up was a young female.
"Aela." came a man from behind her. She didn't look around to see who it was because she knew.
"Vilkas did you see what I see."
"No I saw a bright light and came over to see what it was and when I got here I saw you come out of moon form," he saw the boy in her arms " and what the hell is a new pup doing all the way out here?"
"I don't know he was here after a light." She replied and as she did they heard someone screaming. Looking up they saw a wolf sized fox falling.
It hit the ground where Naruto was laying with a loud thump.
"Well damn that could have gone better." the fox said to no one in particular. He got up and shook his body getting the dust off. It was at that moment he noticed the smell of a wolf or to be exact two. He slowly turned around and saw two people standing over him. "Um Hi."
Aela and Valkas looked at each other then the fox. "Did he just say something?"
"Don't know."
"Hello you dumbasses! Down here!"
"Yea IT said something but I can't understand it."
The fox then listened closely to the people and knew what the problem was. Their language was different. He made a mental seal and tried again. "HELLO you dumbass humans/ wolf / whatever the hell you are! Can…YOU…understand ME NOW!"
"Shhhh you dumb fox. You'll wake him up!" said Aela not registering what he said but it was too little too late. The little Naruto started balling his eyes out. "Let's get back to Jorrvaskr where we can get down to the bottom of this and take care of the pup."
The fox was thinking about how people got so much bigger than him last he checked he was the tallest being around. He decided to hold his questions for latter.
Aela had been able to quiet Naruto down before she noticed a scroll wrapped up in the blankets as well. She pulled it out and put it in her satchel for safekeeping. They were about a half hour out of Whiterun. And 90% of the trip Naruto spent sleeping, but when he was awake he was grabbing at the fur on Aela's wolf armor.
Valkas was in thought about the boy and the fox, something didn't add up. He replayed the scene in his head. But then again brains weren't his strong suit. He decided to drop it for now and bring it up latter.
They arrived at the back entrance of Whiterun that led into the Underforge. There was not a latter but then again that would be troublesome. They jumped up and continued walking, and if they would have looked back they might have saw the fox walk up the wall.
The trio plus one fox went into the Underforge chambers, and met up with the others. They did this after every hunt to recap on what they did. Farkas looked to the other when the scent of a human and fox came in, but didn't say anything.
Skjor noticed the others and looked towards the trio when the bright red of the fox crossed his scenes. All the members of the circle held their tongues till Kodlak stepped fourth.
"You know the reasons for this meeting are not needed to be known for human ears, so tell you shadow to come out." Bellowed Kodlak not knowing the scent he and the others smelled was the bundle in Alea's arms.
"Kodlak the human you smell is here in my arms, we found a new pup out in the wilds after coming back from the hunt. He won't remember anything. And also please don't yell."
The circle raised an eyebrow at this. For someone to abandon a newborn out in the wilds was odd. They looked to the bundle in her arms and saw that she told the truth. She walked over and handed Naruto to him. He looked at the pup and saw him crack an eye open, then give a yawn and go back to sleep.
"That still doesn't explain the fox."
Aela was about to speak but was beaten to it by the fox "I have a name you know." This got quite a few heads to turn to the fox "My true name I don't give out unless you have my respect, but for now call me Kyūbi just as I will call you wolf." said Kyūbi who walked over to Kodlak and looked to Naruto "my name means nine tails, but as you can see I only have one. My power is based on have many tails I have the other eight tails of power is sealed in the kit you hold there."
Kodlak unlike the others had gotten over the shock of a talking fox and understood what it said. He looked at the boy and then the fox mulling over what it had said. "Prove that you are more than a talking fox." he saw the fox smirk and nod.
"Before I do I would recommend you get the kit to a quiet place as this will be loud." said the fox. Kodlak nodded and handed Aela Naruto to her. She walked out and headed in to Jorrvaskr. After that the fox nodded and proceed.
Kyūbi leaned back and opened its mouth a black ball formed about the size of a marble. In the blink of an eye the ball burst out and hit the wall making an explosion and busting the stone. The circle went wide eyed and stared at the fox.
"That wasn't even a one thousandth of the power I have with one tail. Just think about the blast that would have made if it were full." upon saying that the people of the circle thought about the power "Now if I had all my tails that would have destroyed this mountain, but then again I would be just as tall."
Kodlak, Vilkas, Skjor, and Farkas all paled at the thought. Here was one of the deadra before them.
"Well I guess we have got a lot of talking to do." said Skjor.
The fox grinned and made a mental hand seal changing its form to a human. "Indeed we do wolves."
(with Aela)
She had just gotten down to her room when the explosion occurred. To her surprise the baby was still asleep even though she could not say the same for many of the Companions. She could hear people in the other room gearing up and ready for whatever was coming.
She pulled the scroll out of her pouch and placed it beside the bookshelf. She would read it but she was sure that it was written in a different language. In fact she was sure of it. The fox spoke in this language before it somehow learned theirs.
So she decided to wait and get the fox to read it, but in the mean time she needed to rest. The hunt had taken a lot out of her. She took off her armor and placed it on under the table. She then layed in the bed and blew out the candle.
But as Azura would have it she was not allowed to rest. Someone had started banging on her door trying to get her up. She got up and walked over to the door. Ria was at the door all armed up and ready to go.
"Mam there was something going on outside and we were going to check it out." she said a little winded.
"Ria you and the others go back to bed and get some sleep. Vilkas and I found something on our midnight hunt and he must have done something to set it off." she lied but again fate had other ideas. The baby started crying wanting something "Damn it pup go to sleep!"
Ria looked at her. "Um what's a baby doing here?" she didn't pay no mind to the 'pup' quote as she and the others had done grown use to the dog quotes that the Circle used.
"Long story short we were hunting a big deer and between us and it a blue light appeared and when we went to check it out we found the pup." another particle lie but a good one. She had been hunting just not deer.
Ria didn't question it because she knew that the circle took night hunts. She was told it was to hone their skills and get food for the month.
"Have you thought that maybe he was hungry." What Ria said had a lot of sense the pup was hungry. Sighing she nodded and walked out.
Up the main hall Brill was about cleaning and working on different things. When she saw Aela she nodded in greeting, but when she saw that Aela was coming over to her she got up. "What can I help you with huntress?"
"Um I know this is quite the odd request but do we have any milk?" and for a Companion that was an odd request. Most of the time it was mead or some other kind of beverage. She saw Brill thinking about the question.
"Um I think we might have some milk somewhere, but I have no idea where." He turned and started to walk off "Um if I may ask what do you need milk for?"
"Um… your find out latter, and could you put it in a bottle?"
Brill looked at the lady before slowly nodding and walking away. Aela saw a bottle of Black Briar Reserve on the table and before double thinking grabbed it up and drinking it up. By the time she had finished it both parties had come in. the rest of the Circle plus one she didn't know, and Brill had both come in.
The Circle had all tired looks on their faces, and the other she didn't know had a shit eating grin. As for Brill she paid no mind to the other group. She had been there long enough to know not to show interest about the faring of the group.
"Aela we need to talk" said Kodlak.
"Mam I have the milk."
Just another headache for her. She nodded to Brill and took the milk and then followed the rest of the Circle to Kodlak's room. Before they walked in she grabbed Naruto and the Scroll. The baby took the milk happily.
When she finally walked through the door she noticed the new person make some kind of sign with his hands before walking towards them.
"Ok we are meeting here to talk about the pup and the fox. Aela as you know you found a pup while on the hunt. Then latter the Kyūbi fell into you." said Kodlak who motioned to the man. He nodded.
"As you know I fell into you and spoke to you, but what you don't know as I have gathered, we are not from this plain in the universe. The kit you have in your arms has blood kin coming back to this world but that's all I know. Somehow his dad who was a master at sealing caused us to come to this plain after he sealed me into the kit. The sealing took time and only eight ninths of the full power is in him."
"Well before you fell I found this scroll on the pup, but I can't read it." said Aela tossing the scroll to the man. "And how are you human?"
"Long story." he replied opening the scroll.
Skjor looked at the symbols and could have sworn that they looked just like the odd symbols he saw at the old Nord tombs. Kodlak looked over the group with a watchful eye. While Farkas and Vilkas looked at the pup with an unknowing eye.
"Can I have a piece of paper and pen?" asked the Kyūbi who looked to Kodlak. Kodlak looked to Skjor who understood his command. He grabbed the items and placed them in front of the fox. The pen moved with fury as he wrote down the words in their language.
He finished and handed it to Kodlak.
"My name is Mianto Namikaze Septim and the letter your reading are my last words. I fought against the Kyūbi to save my village. In this scroll is all my knowledge and more I want passed on to my son. Please follow these and hopefully he will one day come back, but for now teach him your ways and give him a family he would have never had here.
Please as a father and man give him a reason to live and know that his parents loved him."
"There is more but it for when he leaves home on his own." Said Kyūbi.
As Kodlak finished this letter he folded it and handed to Aela who opened it. He saw her eyes shoot to the fox then go back to reading. When she finished she passed it on to the others."it seems that there is a Septim among us on Nirn once more."
"Now the question is why did you attack?"
This got a lot of heads to turn to the man who just sighed and looked at the Huntress. He closed his eyes as if to remember something.
"The truth is I didn't attack. I was forced to by a man who was able to control my mind. I tend to not mettle in the lives of the mortal but for the past hundred or so years I was controlled. Each time I was out of my seal I was not able to get away I was instantly trapped again and forced back in to a container. This might have happened earlier if it were not for the form you see now."
"It seems as if somebody wanted you to do something that you didn't." said Kodlak leaning back in his chair and stroking his beard.
"It was the same person both times the man is immortal and wants to control me as a weapon."
Kodlak closed his eyes and rested. "Power is something to be earned and not stole. In order to gain power you need the respect of those around you. Tamper with nature and it destroys you."
"Well-spoken old man, you have seen much in your time."
"Indeed too much."
"Now the question is what is what is our next step in this? I say we raise the pup and teach him our ways if what the Kyūbi says it true when the time comes we let the pup decide where he wants to go."
Kodlak nodded and looked to the others "I agree to this, but Aela you will have to raise him as you own."
Aela nodded and turned to leave.
"One more thing about the kit. He has power that is unimaginable and he has also taken on a few things that make him different from others. In the short time I was sealed in him his body copied the process on how to regenerate, thus allowing him semi immortality. He can only die of a fatal wound to the heart. He is also able to pass this on to whoever he chooses to be his mate."
This made many in the room look to the boy. A man who could live forever, a man who could not die of wounds, this was the making of a man who could be something more than ever anyone dreamed. But it could lead to a power hungry monster that would never die.
"Watch over the pup and show him the right path. While we're on the topic who will train him in the art of the sword?" said Kodlak looking to the others in hopes of volunteers. No one made a move to do anything.
"I can teach the pup how to use a bow and when the time comes he can chose what he wants to use." said Aela turning and walking out the door.
"Well I can tell these next few years are going to be eventful." mumbled Skjor sarcastically.
"That it will be, that it will be." replied Farkas.
(Time skip 12 years)
"Again Naruto you need to be able to hit the bull's-eye every shot!" yelled Aela at the boy. In her eyes he was her son and he had grew well and built strong. He stood at a good five feet which was tall for his age. His blond hair tied back in to a short pony tail he wore dark green clothes and had a hooded green cape for rain. He carried weapons that many thought were useless but time and time again he proved them wrong.
His favorite weapon seemed to be the throwing stars she had gotten off of a Dunmer trader from Marrowind. When he got bored he just went into the Underforge and killed Skeveers with them. Eorlund had taught him how to smith and barter. His first blade was a blade made of steel and ebony. Eorlund told him that he couldn't do that, but to the smith's surprise the blond made it work. The blade he made was a straight blade about 30 inches long. It was thin and only had a blade on one side. He also made a similar blade that was about 15 inches long and used both to a great effect. He held the longer one in his right hand and the shorter in a reverse grip in his left.
His bow of choice was an elven bow he was given by Skjor after he found it somewhere. Soon he could rival her in archery. Hell even now he was able to shoot that same kind of bow she shot and that was a heavy draw bow.
But the odd thing about it was how he drew the arrow. Unlike most who have the arrows over their shoulder he carried them on his thigh and could draw them faster than her.
She heard him sigh and draw another arrow and fire. This arrow split the other in half before sticking in the target.
"Mom I know how to shoot. I want to learn other things like Spells and anything else that I could use." he said to his mom.
She balled her fist up and quickly put him in a headlock. "Noogie of Hircine!" she proceeded to run her knuckles hard across his head.
"DAMN YOU MOM!" he yelled after she let him go. "That Fucking hurt!"
"Well pup what can I say you had it coming." She grinned and acted like nothing happened. "Anyway go practice with Red on the scroll and see what he has. I'm going in to the market to buy some items."
Naruto sighed and grabbed his bow and placed it on his back. Most wondered how he kept it on there without some kind of sling. He knew how and it was part of his training with Red. When he was eight he started learning how to use something called Charka. He knew about Magicka and knew that it was spiritual energy in the purest form, but charka was different it was a mix of sprit and physical energy.
He walked inside and saw Red sitting at the table looking over the scroll. He walked over and pulled out a chair. "Hey Red, Mom told me to come in here and do todays lesson."
"Kit you're going love todays lesson. You know the summoning spells used my mages?" he saw him nod "Well today you're going to learn how to make copies of yourself."
A look of dread that not even Sithis could give him, was made. Red noticed this, but didn't say anything. "Please anything but the clone jutsu please!" begged Naruto.
This got Red to smile at the way he was acting. "No today's lesson is Shadow Clones."
This got a great amount of laughter out of Naruto and an odd look from Red. After a few seconds he stopped and wiped his eyes. "You know something… I already know that!"
"You damn gaki I'm going to beat you senseless!" yelled Red balling his fist up. Naruto took this as his que to get. When Red threw the punch a quick Substitution with Skjor ended any chase and an enjoyable fight for the Companions. Which Naruto did not stay to watch.
He ran down the hill towards Gildergreen before stopping and looking back. He saw Lucia sitting on a bench on the other side of the big tree. Getting an idea he walked up the tree out a branch behind her.
"Boo." he said getting her to jump up and forward. She turned around to see Naruto hanging upside down from the branch.
"Naruto will you quite doing that it's bad enough living by myself." she cried even though he knew her hand was on the dagger he gave her. He just smiled and jumped down. The guard nearby just shook his head at the boy, the shock of someone walking straight up long worn off many years ago.
Lucia was Naruto's partner in crime. She was his only friend and the only one he trusted enough to show his ability to. People could see the two were best of friends and a possibility of something more latter. But for now they were best of friends.
"How ya been Lucia?" he said helping her up off the ground.
"I've been good and all, but it's getting harder and harder to get enough money to get by."
Naruto's face saddened at this as he knew her story. Four years ago her mother died and her uncle threw her out when he got the farm. How she made it from south of Bruma to Whiterun is beyond him.
"Say you want to walk around some, I've been in dire need of someone to talk to." the idea was sound, and he really needed something to do seeing as he can't go back to the mead hall yet.
They started walking and in hope of finding something to do or a prank to pull. He saw the Battle-Born clan coming out of their big house. He looked to Lucia and grinned. She knew that grin all too well; it was the 'prank grin'.
He waited till they left and locked the door before he walked up and pulled out a lock pick. He found the tumblers and inserted the tork pick. Lucia watched in awe as he picked the lock. They both heard a click that told them that the door was open.
They both quickly walked in and got to work. Naruto pulled out a piece of paper and started drawing odd symbols on it. Lucia had never seen such a thing. He finished and placed it above the door. It had to be a masterpiece of the art of sealing. It was his motion sensor stink bomb. As soon as he leaves the house he will activate it and when the others come back…
"So what is that thing?" Lucia asked and pointed to the seal. She didn't know what was going to happen to the Battle-Borns when they came home.
"That my good friend is a seal that detects motion and activates. This will cause a gas to come out and cover the whole place in a foul stench." replied Naruto acting like he knew everything. The truth was that he had almost mastered the art of sealing, as Red like to call it. The seal he just made was easily an expert level.
He looked to Lucia and pointed to the door. She got the message and went out the back door before being followed by Naruto. They had just closed the door as the Battle-Borns came in.
Forming the ram seal the seal inside activated and went off. Naruto and Lucia ran when they and the whole town heard someone yell his name. They stopped at the top of the hill overlooking the guardhouse.
"Mission Complete!" yelled Naruto. Lucia just sweat dropped and looked at the boy in amazement. How he was able to stuff like this and get away was only for the Nine to know.
They started walking by the Guard house when something caught his eye. A shadow the size of a small house was coming towards them. He stopped and looked up.
"That's a big Damn bird." he said looking at the bird overhead. It wasn't like any bird he had ever seen before. It was big and solid black. Lucia looked up and saw what he was talking about. They watched as it soared off over Dragonsreach. Looking to each other they just shrugged and walked on.
They didn't get very far as soon as the bird passed the gates opened. A man road in on a horse and got just across the bridge before falling off. Naruto used a charka boosted sprint to catch the man before he hit the ground.
The man looked up at the kid and Naruto could see blood coming out of his mouth. In his chest was a black spike.
"Helgen... attacked by" he coughed up blood "dragon. It was…destroyed." The man's eyes rolled back into his head. Naruto layed him down and closed his eyes. It was not the first person he had seen die, and he was sure it would not be the last.
By this time Lucia was not the only person standing there. A few guards and many others looked at the blond. Naruto looked at the man's hand saw a note he was holding onto. He slowly pulled the note and read it. He quickly folded it and formed a quick hand seal. The others were surprised to see that after he did this he disappeared and a bunch of leaves falling to ground.
Lucia had seen him do this before and knew something was very wrong. The only times he had seen him use it was when he needed to be somewhere very very fast. Something was wrong and she knew it.
(Dragonsreach)
Jarl Bargruuf and Farengar were talking about some new findings he found while looking though some old tomes. He bought the tomes off an adventurer who said she was going to find the Atherim forge. The tomes talked of the Elder Scrolls and their special capabilities. Like how they allowed people to tap into a different power that was locked inside of them.
It was at that moment a swirl of leaves appeared between them. The guards pulled their swords due to the fact this was the first time they had seen this. One of the closer ones swung at the swirl only for the sound of swords hitting. The leaves cleared and every one present automatically knew who it was due to the blond hair.
The guard's sword was caught between Naruto's own. He raised his head and looked straight at Bargruuf. They could tell the usual Happy Go Lucky blond was dead serious and in no mood to joke. Naruto quickly sheathed his swords and grabbed the note before throwing it at Jarl Bargruuf who caught it.
"We have trouble Bargruuf, more than the giant attack two years ago." said Naruto. He could see the yarl's eyes widen as he read the note. He closed it and handed it to the Farengar who opened it up and read it as well.
"If what the note says is true then we're in big trouble. The dragon of legend came and attacked Helgen and destroyed at the whole town. I'll dispatch troops to search for survivors." said the Bargruuf who grabbed a quill and started writing.
Farengar looked at Naruto before waving his hand to get his attention. "Hey Naruto I wanted to ask you if you could retrieve an item for me?"
"And by retrieve you mean go on a mission that I may or may not come back from?" he thought for a second "Ah what the hell I got nothing better to do."
"Atta boy, now I need you to go to Bleak Falls Barrow and get an item called the Dragon Stone." He could see the question on his lips. "As for how I know that it is there I have good sources for information."
"O.K. so back to problem at hand how do I get there?" he watched as Farengar walked over to the map.
"If you head to the western watchtower and look up the mountain there is a path. You go up that path to get there." he reached into his desk and pulled out a scroll "Here is a map of the holds and the roads. The route you will be taking is here." he pointed to a thin black line.
Naruto nodded and left as quickly as he appeared only leaving leaves where he once stood.
"I must get him to tell me where he got that spell." mumbled Farengar.
(Warmaidens before the Dead man)
Aela had just got done buying her latest order of arrows. She and Naruto had just shot up their last bit of steel arrows and Eorlund didn't know the first thing about fletching.
"Say how's Naruto I haven't seen him in a while?" asked Ulfberth grabbing the arrows and placing them on the counter.
"The pup is doing alright from what I can tell, but he stays in trouble a lot by pulling pranks. The one good thing is, is that he can focus on the task that is needed to be done before doing something like that." She sighed at the memory of the happened to Kodlak a month ago "he is like a full grown man with a kid's mind at times."
Ulfberth got a good laugh out of that. While I was true that Naruto had a playful side he had seen the serious side a few times as well. Of which he had seen was one time Nazeem had told the blond to leave him alone, but after Naruto had persisted the man pulled a dagger and sliced him only for his foot to get stuck under a log. Naruto was standing behind him pointing an arrow at his head. The blond said he done it because he talked bad about Lucia.
"Anyway thank you again for the arrows." She told the man before pulling out a bag of coins and tossing it on the counter. She picked up the 500 arrows she ordered before walking out.
She walked up the street holding her arrows before going in to Belethor's shop. She saw the greedy man counting his coin in plain daylight and grinning ear to ear. She sighed at having to do business with the man. It took him a moment to notice she was standing there before quickly putting away the money quickly.
"Everything's for sale my friend!" he chimed happily silently hopping that she didn't see the money he was counting. She walked up to the counter and put her hands on it looking him in the eyes.
"I am looking for some spells." she told the man who looked like he was going to piss himself. He turned quickly and started looking for the tomes he had gotten from a traveling mage.
He returned with five of the books and placed them on the counter. There was five novice level spells, but just as dangerous as any other. "How much?"
"for 200 coins I'll let you have them." he had to turn some profit because he bought them for 175, that and he didn't want a pissed off Huntress.
"Deal." She tossed the money on the counter and picked up the tomes and walked out. Belethor sighed in relief when she left.
Aela had just walked out when Lucia had run by heading towards Dragonsreach. "Lucia!" she yelled stopping the girl in her path. Lucia looked and walked back down the stairs to her. "What's going on, and where are you going?"
"Naruto disappeared after the man that rode in died." she looked back down the road at the people carrying the man off "from what I could see the man had a black spike stuck in his chest and his face was burned like someone hit him with a fire spell at point blank."
"That dumbass he fucking used one of the spells he learned from Red. When I get my hands on him Hircine help him, he is so fucking dead." She yelled. Lucia looked at the lady with a slight fear.
"Mom you can kill me latter right now I need I'm leaving." Said someone behind her, she turned around and saw Naruto looking her in the eyes. She saw the seriousness in his eyes the only time she had remembered seeing that was on the jobs he went on. It then registered that he said leaving, and her anger left her.
"What! Where are you going?!" she said franticly not knowing how to react to her pup leaving the den.
"Don't worry I'll be back in a few day at the most a week's time. I'm just going to Bleak Falls Barrow to get some kind of tablet for the crazy mage in Dragonsreach." he said eyeing the items she had in her hand. "But since it's late I'll leave in the morning early." This got Aela to perk up and smile. It was time to offer him the gift of moon born.
He smiled at seeing his mom happy and hoped times could be like this forever. But in the back of his mind something told him that he was different and that things will never be the same after this, but he pushed it aside.
"Come on pup it's time for your gift before you leave the den." The trio walked back up to the mead hall talking and enjoying themselves to Aela it seemed to be the calm before the storm.
love it hate it send me a review and i will try to fix it.
have a good day
"Trust your beliefs, and your blade. They will get you through life" someone
