Hello everyone!
I will start writing a small interlude before the new book, it will consist of one-shots about the untold events of "The Rise of the New Whirlpool" in a Flashback format. And this is the first chapter.
The events will have an order, but NOT the flashbacks, any way they will be understandable and it will show more of the main characters as they develop on the story individually, also if this is your first time reading this, and you don't understand where all of the events took place, I suggest you to read the first story.
Also this interlude will present a lapse of three years between the first book and the next, it will show how Naruto starts interacting with the clans since the time he arrived with Kurama until the first day that will be shown in the next book.
The First Chronicle – Remembrance of a Dark Day.
It had been almost a week since Naruto and company had arrived to the New Whirlpool and were now helping with the repairs.
"Naruto-sama! It's good to finally get to meet you, although you are smaller than I thought you would be…" said Daichi getting a smack in the head granted by his wife.
"Don't be so rude to the young master! I would like for you to be more careful with you manners!" scolded Sora.
Naruto gave a nervous smile at the couple, he was getting used to the respect from all the people that were actually here, although some elders of a few clans seemed to be uncomforted by Naruto's age, he knew that he would have to prove his worth to them.
"Please Sora-san, don't be so strict with him, it is ok if he calls me by my name, I actually prefer it than being called in a formal way… after all I'm just a kid." Said Naruto trying to save the poor man from getting another hit.
"Young master, sometimes your too kind for your own good… but it's that kindness and humbleness that has won almost everyone in a short span of time, and the fact that with your Shadow Clones you can be almost everywhere at the same time, it only helps to meet more people." Said Sora giving a light smile to the kid.
"By the way Naruto-sama… would you be so kind to tell us, how did you meet Itachi-san? He seems rather fond to the Nekoka's heiress." Asked Daichi pointing at Itachi, who was being hug by Kiyoko and glared at by her father.
Naruto started remembering about the time when his brother saved him from Konoha. "Well… it was a long time ago… but I can still remember it… how could I…"
Flashback – Outskirts of Konoha – Nighttime.
Naruto's POV-
I was unconscious for a while I guess… but when I opened my eyes I got a big surprise. "Who are you?" I asked with fear, I thought that he had taken me away from the village so he could kill me without witnesses.
In all the time that I have been alive, all I knew was hate, the glares from everyone in the village, I wanted to disappear, to kill myself and finish it all.
If you are told the same lie so many times, you start to believe it, you accept it as your truth and try to live up to it… I was so close to becoming one.
Every time I walked through the street I could find myself wishing to become the monster they said I was, maybe…only maybe they would fear me enough to leave me alone or give a reason to Hokage-Jiji to kill me.
There was a time where I believed that someday the people would get bored of treating me with hate, trying to kill me almost every day, leaving me to die. I really thought that they would start to treat me like any other boy.
When I was on the orphanage I thought that maybe someone would adopt me and give me a loving family, but every family that saw me only glared at me "It's that demon kid", "I can't believe that the third is allowing that thing to live", were some of the things that they said to me.
When I was kicked out of the orphanage I asked Jiji about my parents, but he said that they had died some time ago in the Kyubi's attack, when I asked if they loved him, the Hokage said "With all their heart"
Then when I turned 6, Hokage-jiji said that I could join the academy and train to become a ninja, I really liked that idea because I could now start to be acknowledged, but even when I tried so hard, the teachers just ignored me or left me outside the room, saying that I was late.
When I went home I was always alone, the apartment that Jiji had got me was small, and empty, no one waiting for me, no one to spend my birthday with.
Always looking at other kids be loved by their parents, telling them to stay away from me, to never talk to me, telling them the kind of monster I was, but I never understood their reasons…
I was growing tired of this… life, if you could call it that, but then again I needed to live, and prove them wrong.
People tended to think that I was stupid, that I couldn't use my brain, but when you feel as lonely as I… when you starve for people to shows interest in you… you would do almost anything to get any kind of attention.
"I'm the one who saved you from the villagers, Naruto-kun, and I don't intend to hurt you, for it will be stupid to do so after saving your life"
Why would he? I mean, I was a monster right? Nobody has cared enough for me to save me and risk their lives just because of a monster like me.
And now this guy had just risked his ass to save me… the only thought of it made me feel that for once someone cared, that there was some deity that wanted to give me a second chance in life.
I always wanted to have a brother, someone to look up at, someone that was willing to tell me, not only where was I wrong, but why!
I remembered Inu-nii, he always went to my house and talked with me, but I never knew his face, how can I trust someone when I can't see their eyes.
Looking at the guys eyes, I could see pain, sadness, hate, he was trying to overcome something, I could see fear on his eyes, and even when I just met him a few minutes ago, I can tell that he is not a bad person.
I think… I think that everyone should have second chance in life, everyone deserves it, because everyone makes mistakes… even Konoha as a whole, but for now, I het that place, and it will probably take a while before I can think about going back.
But for now, I was happy to be out of that hellhole.
"I see, thanks for saving me, onii~san"
End of Flashback.
"At first I just started calling him Onii-san out of respect, but my respect for him started to grow slowly… Also it was thanks to him that I got know Hina-chan, so I owe him most of my happiness." Answered Naruto with a melancholic look in his eyes.
Sora and Daichi smiled at this and looked at Itachi who was now being hugged by Kiyoko's mother.
"It seems that Kairi it's already fond of the boy and approves of him…" said Daichi with a chuckle that quickly turned into a full laughter "…and it seems that it gave to more reason for Aruto to try and kill him! Hahaha!"
Naruto and Sora only chuckled at seeing Itachi run for his life while a Black Lion and Aruto tried to skin him alive.
Now this is a little Interlude between The Rise of the New Whirlpool: Ascension and The Rise of the New Whirlpool: Windstorm.
You may be wondering my reason to post this as a side story… and honestly it's just because I feel like it's the best way.
The main story it's already finished, I'm now fixing some holes on the story, and grammatical mistakes.
Also, the next book "The Rise of the New Whirlpool: Windstorm will be posted on late October.
