Hellooo people and welcome to my latest story Smouldering Kitsune
so this story is a little bit experiment, little bit side story/spinoff/Backstory and a little bit of theory
this is my first single pairing story so there's that, and for those of you who this is the first of my story's you are reading first welcome, and second i don't tell pairings before they are official as i feel it cheapens any interactions between characters so don't ask
also this story will contain my opinions and theories regarding RWBY so if you can't handle something like that please leave now
next i will say this now, Naruto will be smarter then cannon and already have some knowledge on various subjects
and just so you are all aware this story should be updated once a fortnight so there's that
finally i don't own RWBY or Naruto
"Naruto Uzumaki by order of the Fire Daimyo for the attempted murder of Sasuke Uchiha you are hereby banished," spoke a one eyed bandaged man looking down at Naruto.
"W-what?" questioned Naruto not believing he had just heard.
"You have been Banished, you have-" repeated the man only for Naruto to turn and be running out the door before the man could even finish what he was saying.
Naruto by this point was already out of the Hokage tower and leaping from building to building on his way home tears streaming down his face.
"Why, why does this happen to me, why can't I just have some lasting happiness?" thought Naruto to himself as he tried to wipe the tears out of his eyes with his arm as he continued jumping home.
Within several minutes Naruto threw open his door and slammed it behind him, however he didn't get two steps into his house before he felt like he was floating as his consciousness was pulled into the seal holding back the Kyubi, sighing Naruto stalked down the halls of his mind quickly coming to the cage of his prisoner. Who like the first time the blond was there tried to stab the boy with a claw.
"What do you want Kyubi?" questioned Naruto not even flinching at the attempt on his life.
"Behind the Hokage monument in the forest two clicks in you will find a fenced off home rub some blood on the lock to get in, it's your parents place they had a Jutsu library big enough to rival a clan library," declared the Kyubi getting a quirked eyebrow from Naruto.
"You know this how? And more to the point you know my parents?" questioned Naruto.
"How I know is none of your bloody business just go there and take everything not nailed down stupid ningen" spoke Kyubi narrowing his eyes at his blond container.
"Why are you telling me this then at least give me that much," spoke Naruto.
"You've been banished from your village, you have no-one to protect you now, so you'll be easy pickings for this Akatsuki organisation, I don't know what they want with me but I know they won't let me be free, so you need to get stronger, that and you represent me in the mortal world I don't need a weak container screwing over my image," declared Kyubi before Naruto was thrown out of his mindscape.
As Naruto's consciousness returned to his body he fell to the floor.
"Ow stupid fox," grumbled the blond rubbing his ass, before standing up and walking to his room, stepping inside Naruto quickly walked to his closet opening it he ignored his jumpsuits and reached for the bottom, pushing on the end of one of the wooden boards the other end popped up and reaching into the gap created Naruto pulled out a back pack. In this backpack were all of his most prized positions, a necklace in the form a spiral like the back of the Jonin vests given to him by Hiruzen said to have been found with him as a baby, several books on seals that Hiruzen had given him which were some of the very books the Yondaime Hokage had learned from, one of the Yondaime's special Kunai, and two framed pictures, one of him Ayame, Teuchi, Iruka and Hiruzen taken on his sixth birthday outside Ichirakus, and the other of him Jiraiya, Shizune and Tsunade, just before the four of them had begun heading back to Konoha. Grabbing the bag Naruto slung it over his shoulders before once more reaching into the hole in the bottom of his wardrobe and pulling out a scroll that contained his clothes that weren't the orange jumpsuit, he put in the bag before walking out of the room leaving his team picture on his bedside table not caring to take it with him.
Walking into his kitchen Naruto quickly sealed away his food before putting that in his bag as well, not bothering to pack anything else Naruto made his way to his front door, glancing into the house one last time Naruto sighed before he stepped out and closed the door behind him.
Taking a moment to decide whether to trust the Kyubi or not, Naruto just shrugged and followed the beast's instruction it couldn't hurt to see the blond quickly made his way to the forests above the Hokage monument.
It took all of ten minutes for Naruto find the house the Kyubi had told him of, as instructed Naruto bit his thumb to make himself bleed before rubbing his bloodied digit on the gate and to his surprize the gate glowed white for a moment before it creaked and opened.
Walking into the compound Naruto could tell no-one had been inside for many years.
"Not surprizing that was a blood seal," thought Naruto to himself as he quickly walked up to the house which he found to be locked, seeing no seals on the door, nor around it Naruto knelt down and pulled out a set of lock picks and set about breaking into the house.
It took a few minutes a testament to the security of the lock as Naruto was undoubtedly one of the best lock pickers in Konoha possibly in the world, but as the door swung open Naruto stepped in as soon as his foot touched the doormat he felt his chakra suddenly be sucked out of his body through his foot.
"Damn it anti-tamper seals," groaned Naruto unable to even remove his foot from the mat however after a few seconds his chakra came flooding back to him and was no longer being sucked from his body.
"Strange" spoke Naruto looking at the floor before pulling out a kunai just to be safe as he bent down and lifted the mat only to see a jumble of Fuinjutsu that lead all the way up the wall, he could understand some parts here and there but the seal on the door was designed by a master, Naruto was adept at making seals, but the sheer size and complexity of the seal on the door made him feel like a novice.
Deciding to get a move on rather than sulk at his own inferiority, Naruto quickly went about making his favourite hand sign to make the search quicker.
"Kage Bunshin No Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu)," called Naruto summoning four clones, not even needing the be told their tasks they quickly split up going through the house looking for anything worth swiping, Naruto himself moved into the first room on his left, stepping inside the blond stopped dead in his tracks looking at the wall of the apparent lounge room, the centre piece of the room was a portrait hanging on the wall, now that wasn't exactly unusual however who it was of was. The man looked younger but it was without a doubt Naruto's hero the Yondaime Hokage, in the picture the man stood tall and proud behind and slightly off centre to a beautiful red haired woman looking over the two people Naruto couldn't help but feel some form of bond with them.
"They must be my parents," muttered Naruto looking at the picture a tear forming in his eyes walking up to the picture he reached out to grab the frame.
"BOSS," yelled one of the clones, Naruto pulled back and turned leaving the room to see what his clone wanted.
Walking upstairs Naruto found his clone standing in the hallway looking very nervous Naruto looked at the clone with a quirked brow before he walked up to the clone and looked into the room and his eyes went wide and tears formed in his eyes.
The room was clearly for a baby, it had a cot, a small supply of nappies, tens of stuffed animals lying all around the room but what made Naruto tear up was a simple hand written banner hanging over the window.
"Welcome home Naruto"
Naruto forcefully closed his eyes not letting his tears fall, before turning and stepping away from the room.
"Seal it all," ordered Naruto the clone nodded as Naruto himself returned to the lounge room, and took the framed picture from the wall.
#About An Hour Later#
Naruto walked out of his parents' house having sealed just shy of everything from within the house into various scrolls stopping before he reached the gate Naruto turned back to the house.
"I'm sorry Tou-san, Kaa-chan," muttered Naruto as he walked back into the house and pulled out a lighter walking over to the curtains holding the curtain over his lighter the blond lit the curtain on fire before quickly walking out of the house leaving the flaming curtain to light up the rest of the house as the blond left the compound and left the village entirely.
Deciding not to stick around Naruto ran as fast as he could away from Konoha not looking back, Naruto headed east towards the Land Of Waves.
#Several Days Later#
Naruto stood on the edge of the bridge connecting the Land Of Waves with the Land Of Fire a small smile on his face as he glanced at the plate on the bridge.
The Great Naruto Bridge named after the hero of wave.
Naruto smiled and walked across the bridge. As the blond entered the town people looked to him shocked Naruto just smiled and waved as he passed people who started waving back, suddenly someone ran into Naruto.
"Sorry I wasn't – Naruto-nii?" questioned the voice Naruto turned and saw…
"Inari," spoke Naruto with a grin.
"Naruto-nii," yelled Inari hugging the blond
"Inari don't go running off – Naruto-san?" questioned a female voice from behind Inari.
"Hey Tsunami-san," said Naruto looking to the woman who pulled him into a hug.
"What are you doing here?" asked the woman, only to regret asking as she saw Naruto's mood drop.
"I was banished," replied Naruto softly.
"WHAT?" screamed Inari looking at Naruto in shock, Tsunami didn't voice it but she too was shocked.
"Come on this sounds like a long story," spoke Tsunami beginning to walk away from Naruto towards her house, Naruto followed behind her Inari walking beside him.
After a few minutes of walking they found themselves at a small house on the outskirts of the village, walking through the doors Tsunami yelled into the building.
"Tou-san we have a visitor come down and say hello," yelled Tsunami before banging could be heard.
"Who is it someone looking for a builder? Kid?" questioned Tazuna upon seeing Naruto standing in the doorway.
"Hey there Tazuna-san," spoke Naruto with a weak wave.
"What are you doing here? On a mission?" asked Tazuna.
"No I – I was banished," said Naruto quietly.
"Say what? What the hell for?" questioned Tazuna.
"Sasuke defected from Konoha, I was part of a team sent after him to bring him back, I did but he was hurt so they charged me with attempted murder, despite the fact that he was the one trying to kill me," spoke Naruto sadly.
"What? That's so stupid," exclaimed Inari.
"Well kid you can stay here as long as you want," declared Tazuna.
"Thank you, but, I don't want to impose on you and the reason I came here was Tazuna do you know anyone who might be able to take me to Uzushio?" asked Naruto making Tazuna blink before nodding.
"I'll talk with some people I know and see about getting you there kid but in the meantime you're welcome to stay here," said Tazuna, Naruto smiled.
"Thank you," muttered Naruto.
#About Three Month Later#
Naruto rolled over in his bed blinking as he pushed himself up looking out of the window to the ruins of his ancestral home. The blond had stayed with Tazuna and his family for a few days before Tazuna managed to find a sailor willing to take Naruto to Uzushio.
After a tearful goodbye Naruto had set out to Uzushio, it had only taken two days of sailing to get to the island nation which he had found in ruins not to his surprize however it wasn't as bad as he had feared it might have been, it had only taken a few days with the help of his clones to clear the rubble from around many of the village's more important buildings. It was during this time that Naruto had discovered the memory feedback of the Kage Bunshin No Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu), which after finding out he had abused the heck out of the jutsu getting several years of training with Fuinjutsu in with the help of his clones to the point where he was a master after three weeks.
And knowing full well that the Akatsuki were after him Naruto had begun working on a space time seal with the help of his clones that would allow the blond to start anew in a new world.
So getting out of his bed Naruto created several clones to get straight to work on the seal while he worked on other things, starting with breakfast.
Walking into his kitchen Naruto walked to his small supply of sealed ramen, unsealing one Naruto went about getting it ready, he had a long day ahead of him.
Little did the blond know his day was going to be even longer then he had planned. Arriving on the shores of the island nation was a pair of black cloaked individuals with pointed straw hats on.
"Where are we looking Itachi?" asked the taller of the two men.
"Zetsu only narrowed it down to towards the centre of the village," replied the smaller of the two as they walked towards the village.
Having finished his breakfast Naruto left the house he had claimed and was about to head towards his Space-Time Seal but he felt a twinge at the back of his mind blinking Naruto tried to figure out what it was when his mind went blank and a vision came to him.
Naruto saw the two cloaked individuals walking into the village, before his mind returned to normal.
"Shit, I didn't think they'd find me this quickly," muttered Naruto before forming his favourite hand sign "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu," called Naruto creating ten clones. "Alright three of you go to the clan libraries, seal everything, three of you do the same for the armoury, two of you go and tell the clones working on the seal to speed it up and help them get it ready, the last two of you are with me stalling for time while the clones get that seal ready," ordered Naruto getting nods from his clone who aside from two of them quickly left the area.
#With Itachi and Kisame#
The two members of the Akatsuki wandered down the ruined streets of Uzushio looking for their quarry.
"We're not alone," declared Itachi before four kunai landed around the pair on one on an adjacent roof before in a flash of light four walls of golden light shot upwards from the four grounded kunai to the height of the one imbedded in the roof.
"Kid's learnt some new tricks," spoke Kisame going to touch the barrier, only for Itachi to grab the man's hand.
"I wouldn't do that, there's enough Raiton chakra in that to instantly vaporise your entire body," declared Itachi making Kisame glance back at his partner before stepping back.
"So what's your goal with this Naruto-kun? You know this barrier won't hold us," spoke Itachi looking to the blond who didn't even glance away from Itachi's Sharingan.
"Now now Itachi what good would it do me telling you why I have you in a barrier," spoke Naruto from his position on a nearby roof.
"You do remember my sword eats chakra right brat?" questioned Kisame looking to Naruto.
"Are you sure you wish to try, we both know that blade is semi-sentient and as your partner just told you there's enough Raiton chakra in that barrier to vaporise your body," said Naruto hoping the Akatsuki member would buy his bluff.
…
…
…
He didn't, Kisame swung his precious Samehada through the barrier breaking the barrier and allowing the two S-class nin to simply step out of Naruto's barrier, Naruto himself turned and ran away.
"Oh no you don't," declared Kisame jumping after the blond, Itachi quickly following suit, Naruto dashed through the ruined city, he knew there was no way in hell that he would be able to beat the two ninja in a head on fight, he'd be lucky if he could beat one of them, so the blond would have to use an unusual strategy.
Naruto dropped into an alleyway with Kisame and Itachi landing seconds later behind him, Naruto turned to look at them.
"You gave a good chase kid let's see if your fighting is on the same level," spoke the blue skinned man with a grin, Naruto himself was also grinning slightly unnerving the Uchiha not that his partner noticed.
Naruto quickly pulled a tag out of his pocked before slamming it on the wall and jumping out of the alleyway before slicing through a piece of ninja wire.
Kisame and Itachi looked confused as the blond planted a tag on the wall only for the area around them to become heavy pushing the two S-rank ninja to the ground, however they had little time to worry about that as a flurry of kunai came flying at them.
The two Missing-nin barely dodged to either side of the Kunai as Naruto ran away from them again, Itachi pulled out a kunai and tossed it at the tag Naruto had planted on the wall and once the kunai hit it the gravity in the immediate area decreased to normal levels, and the two partners took off after Naruto once more.
Naruto himself sighed in relief as he received and influx of memories from his clones telling him that his seal was ready and all of the clan possessions were in scrolls in a bag near the seal so Naruto ran towards the Uzukage tower at the centre of the village.
Running into the tower Naruto quickly ran down the stairs and burst into the room where his seal was, grabbing the bag Naruto threw it over his shoulders and ran forwards pumping chakra into the seal, opening a rip in the fabric of reality just as Kisame and Itachi ran into the room.
Naruto gave the duo a smirk and a taunting 'bye bye' before diving into the rip and as the blond went through it the rip sealed itself shut with a pop sound and like that Naruto Uzumaki was gone not even the seal he created to open the portal remained.
Alright people so that's the prologue
so we have Naruto banished by order of the Daimyo who is above the Hokage in the hierarchy so don't wine at me about 'militarily dictatorship' and 'Hokage's word is law'
then we have Naruto running home so he can pack his shit and Kyubi telling him about his parent's home
so Naruto goes there and seals everything useful to him and burns the rest feeling that the village doesn't diverse any of it
after that we have Naruto make his way to Wave to organise a ship to Uzushio
where he spends three months with shadow clones learning higher levels of seals
only for Itachi and Kisame to catch him just before he can leave the elemental nations for good
but luckily Naruto manages to get away just in the lick of time
so anyway that's the chapter please let me know what you all think
i think thats all i need to say so...
