The Rise Of A Legend
Disclaimer: I'm only saying this once. I do not own Naruto. If I did, I would be rich.
Chapter 1: Prologue
Naruto ran.
He ran as far as he could, for the villagers of Konoha were once again chasing him, with their garden rakes, brooms and kitchen knives.
Yep, you heard right. Kitchen knives, and they were all out for blood.
"Crap, crap, crap," he muttered.
"Get back here you demon!" One of the villagers shouted.
Reaching a dead end, he turned back and shouted, "Stay away from me! What did I do to you people?"
"What did you do? What did you do?! You killed our families, that's what, demon!" a villager yelled back. Said villager rushed forward with his baton towards the six-year old.
The last thing he saw before he blacked out was a pile of leafs appearing from seemingly nowhere.
Drip…
Drip…
Drip…
The echoes of dripping water could be heard as he awoke in a giant sewer.
"Where am I? Oh great I was dumped into a sewer, stupid villagers…" grumbled the six-year old.
He saw a light ahead, and wondered if that was the exit to this run down sewer system. After walking for a while he reached the end.
At the end of the tunnel, there two giant bar doors. Right in the center between the two doors, there was a piece of paper with the kanji for "Seal" on it.
"Uzumaki Naruto... I have waited far too long for you," a deep, booming voice said, seemingly from behind the bars.
"W-who are you?" Naruto asked shakily.
A deep sound of laughter ensued. A red eye suddenly opened in the darkness of the bars, and Naruto quickly scrambled back as a massive amount of oppressive power flooded the sewers. The area behind the bars illuminated, and inside was a colossal crimson fox with gleaming teeth stared straight at him, its silted crimson eyes seemed to pierce right into his soul.
"I am a being comprised of a ridiculously high amount of chakra, with a swish of one of my majestic tails, I can topple mountains and cause great tsunamis... I am the Kyuubi..." Then the fox glowed with a red light, and transformed, diminishing in size rapidly until the light ebbed away before the boy could react.
Naruto, who had raised his hands to shield his eyes from the blinding light, removed them and before his eyes beheld a beautiful woman, who donned a simple dark crimson kimono that contrasted with her blood red hair.
"... But you can call me Kurama," spoke the woman, now in a softer and noticeably female voice.
"The Kyuubi, huh?" Naruto said, surprisingly calm upon seeing the creature that could wipe him out within the bat of an eyelash.
"AHHHHHHHH! PLEASE DON'T EAT ME! I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A GOOD BOY! SEE, NARUTO IS A GOOD BOY‼!" he comically tried to run away, but he soon realized that he had become boxed in with no way to escape.
"No, no, kit, I'm not here to eat you, I promise," the redhead beauty attempted to reassure.
Naruto however, wasn't so reassured. "That's what they all say *sniff-sniff*… Getting them to lower their guard *sniff*… Before they scoop them up and eat them." At this point, Naruto was huddled up into a corner, shaking in fear of being eaten.
"FOR KAMI'S SAKE BOY! I'm not here to eat you," she finished in a softer voice.
When he had eventually calmed down and rationalised that the beautiful woman before him couldn't possibly eat him in her current form, he warily approached the woman, after all, she could still transform into that colossal fox and then eat him.
"If you're not here to eat me, then why are you here? Why am I here?" Naruto asked in an even tone.
"Simple, I'm here to offer a deal. A deal that would give you powers to stop the ignorant fools that you call villagers from bullying and hurting you?" He nodded his head slowly, "What's the catch?"
"Smart boy. The catch is… you must marry me."
"WHAAAT!?"
"Just kidding. But in all seriousness, the catch is that I get access to your senses, meaning that I can see what you see, hear what you hear, etc., and I can speak to you Naruto-kun. In return I shall train you-"
"It's a deal!" Naruto interrupted contentedly; after all, he was quite lonely.
"Naruto-kun, we've been watching you over the years as you grew. It's time to pass on a few family jutsus, eh, Kushina-chan?" A figure not noticed by Naruto, said startling him, he stepped out into the light, revealing a blonde man with spiky hair, and a long, flowing cloak that was white with red flame-like trimmings at the bottom.
Additionally, he wore a standard Konoha flak jacket, with a black long sleeve shirt underneath.
Accompanying him was a redhead, with long, knee-length hair and a green blouse, wearing a beige top over it.
The moment he saw the man's face, he recoiled in awe, because he saw that face frequently, ranging from the Hokage Monument to history textbooks. "The Yondaime Hokage," he said reverently.
Author's Notes:
To the new readers, I promise the story will get better as it progresses. Once again I would like to thank NPredator16 for the Beta.
