My Existence Is A Contradiction (adopted version)

by Raiden Kagutsuchi

Contradictions...two propositions used in combination where one makes the other impossible. Light and Dark cannot together...or it was thought to be impossible. But a child of the two elements was born...the first ever living contradiction. However, his existence causes other to watch his movements...will this contradiction...Naruto...be force to a world that he doesn't want to?

1. Chapter 1

What's up everyone it's your favorite fanfiction writer here. So as you can see I have adopted this story from Azure King and Azure Queen, so yeah this story will continue, but with me writing it. I really enjoyed reading the story and was kind of upset to find out that the writer won't be continuing it, so I decided to continue from where he/she left off. Chapters 1 – 9 will be the original story with a character name change. Chapter 10 will also be the same, but I'm changing the ending of chapter ten. Chapter 11 is where I put my own twist into it.

That's all I had to say I hope you guys enjoy the return of My Existence Is A Contradiction.

A man wearing a white suit was walking through a bamboo forest while holding a in his arms a baby no more than a few weeks old. "My son, do not worry. Your mother's allies will protect you."

The man smiles slightly at the sleeping child, "Kushina...guide so I could protect our son." He suddenly starts coughing violently with some blood coming down his chin. After walking a bit more the blonde man finally sees a group of people wearing kimonos and yukatas.

A man with silver hair and amethyst colored eyes, "Minato..." though he had perfect picture smile the silverette. "You do realize that your presence here without lady Kushina means death?"

Minato drops to his knees and bows deeply, "I beseech you to listen to men… Kushina has passed on to the next life."

Many gasps were heard after hearing the news, the smiling monster suddenly frowns. "Then why are you here?"

Minato stands and shows the gathered people the baby, "Because of Kushina's and mine child...Naruto….Yamato Hotsuin, my wife told before she passed on from childbirth that you will help me take care of my child."

The man's face gains a neutral look as he starts thinking deeply on this predicament, "Hmm..."

"I say we kill the man and never let him keep Naruto-dono!" a man shouts from the group of people.

"But the child is from his own blood! We cannot accept this spawn." screams another person.

Yamato eyes harden as he crosses his arms, "Follow me and watch your feet." he says as others begin voicing their opinion even louder but, "Silence, I am the clan head. I might be only seventeen but my orders are absolute law! If anyone wishes to go against them...do so if only of you can kill me or die trying."

After hearing their leader's authoritative voice everything quickly became silent. The leader of the clan and Minato walk towards a traditional Japanese home. As they walk Yamato takes Naruto from Minato into his own arms after gaining permission, "Hello young Lord, I hope your stay here will be happy." the man cooed uncharacteristically. "Hmm? Minato this child-"

"I know...he is very weak and I think you know why." Minato starts coughing once more and falls to his knees.

Yamato quickly gives Naruto to one of the maids as he takes a knee to look at the sick blonde more closely. "Namikaze, are you dying?!"

Minato nods as wipes off the blood, "Yes...it can't be stopped by normal or unorthodox methods. I was given less than a decade to live."

Yamato helps Minato to stand as they walk to Minato's new room with Naruto's baby crib inside, "This shall be your room from now on."

Minato bows at the man, "Thank you… thank you for your kindness."

The Hotsuin clan leader scoffs, "Don't think I'm actually doing this out of kindness towards you. It's because of Lady Kushina's last wishes and young lord Naruto's sake...may your remaining time with your son be filled with happiness." After finishing the last sentence turns around and leaves the room to give the father and son some privacy.

Minato sighs in relief as he watches his son sleep without any worry in the world, "My son...a contradiction between light and darkness. But no matter what...I shall always be with you."

In a backyard a small five-year old Naruto was playing with some Japanese dolls with gentleness. Watching him from the porch was a twenty-two year old Yamato who couldn't help but smile at the innocent child. But then he frowns...the child was very weak in health and can easily fall ill. He never would have expected this development since both of Naruto's parents were healthy and beyond weak. Hotsuin sighs as he also remembers that Minato health was also rapidly declining. The man spends most of his days in his own room as he is getting weaker and weaker with each passing month.

Yamato sighs in pity, Naruto wasn't allowed to attend regular school, it's mostly because of the fear that bullying and physical strain might hurt the young lord. The blonde child is welled liked in the clan but the only children he can come close to associating with are from boarding schools or those who are learning combat and self-defense lessons at the clan grounds. "Hmm...Wait, there's that one child who could be little Naruto's friend...she also has the potential to become the next clan head...Miyako...perhaps she could be his first true friend? Yamato ponders.

He then remembers that Minato wanted to go to the store to buy something for his son so he asked for some help getting there. Yamato looks at child for one last time before he enters the main building.

The silver haired man finds Minato already waiting for him and smiling, "Ah Yamato-sama, are you ready?"

The two left to the store as Yamato looks at his and begins speaking, "Your son has brought great joy in my clan and his condition is gradually getting better as he has been more active lately." He says with kind smile but then his features become neutral, "…alas, he will always need someone to help him and watch over him in case any complications arise. You only have five more years left, maybe even less since your coughing is getting worse."

Minato nods as they arrived to the supermarket, "I know... In fact, Naruto has recently become acquainted with two felines outside of the garden of honeysuckles."

"He has? Wait, that's impossible… my barriers around the clan grounds are being used in order to block out anyone from entering without permission, even animals. This is really odd, I might have to check if the barriers are working properly, someone could have tampered with it." Yamato said to himself while Minato who taking some candy for his son gained a concerned look.

"Please don't chase out the two kittens, Naruto really likes them and he would be sad if they left. I know it sounds foolish but those two are the closest companions he has right now. I don't want him to lose what little he has for contact..." The concerned blonde requests.

Yamato nods and he smiles at what he saw, "Takoyaki..."

Minato chuckles awkwardly and sweat dropped at hearing this, "The almighty silver dragon of the Hotsuin is in love with that junk food."

"Hmph, even I want to enjoy the side of commoners at times. My only friend showed me that throwing away your rulebook will open up new doors of enjoyment. Like how I started to enjoy your company disregarding the fact of what you are." The Hotsuin smirks as Minato took that comment to heart.

Minato huffs comically and decides to ignore the insult, "Yamato...I know what you're planning for my son and honestly… I don't like it...but if you can get her consent then please..."

Yamato nods seriously and the two start walking back to the Hotsuin mansion. They walked in awkward silence until they saw smoke rising from where their home was at! "Oh kami!" Yamato and Minato ran towards building. When they reached the entrance they saw that it was filled with dead demons! "At least the dragon stream protected the clan area however; Naruto was the only one in there."

Minato starts coughing again but then suddenly burst in physical activity after hearing that his son might be in danger, "I...I...I WHOO ever is behind this attack will pay!"

They rushed to the garden where they saw...Naruto holding two cat's one white and the other black. He was able to protect them from the strong hold defenses. When the cats saw the two adults, they slipped out Naruto's arms and both jump over the wall. The white cat before leaving looks at Naruto as if hesitating to about something however, it jumped when Yamato started moving to capture it.

Minato checks on his son who was fine but there was some of the demon blood stains on his clothes. Yamato sighs, he raises his right arm as seals circled around it and the whole home glowed blue, "I have increase security around the mansion. No one besides my clan or you and lord Naruto can enter, though those cats will never come back. Forgive me, but to ensure that this situation never happens again I have to take extreme caution."

Minato nods and lifts Naruto so he could tuck him in bed, "I can understand that, but now my son will be alone..." he says sadly.

Yamato watches leave the garden and walk into the building, "Not for long Minato...not for long."

A ten year old Naruto was walking beside Yamato as they talked, "I hope that you are enjoying your new home Uzumaki-sama." The now twenty seven year old asked his young guest who nods.

"All is well with the home, however, my father's health is declining at a faster rate but he tries do his best to ignore it... it is as if he's expecting to pass on soon." he says as Yamato hastens his footsteps to avoid the stare of the young child. "I lost my two cats when I was five...my only friend three years ago and my father has been getting more ill with each passing day..."

The Silver Dragon of the clan mentally sighs. Indeed, many good but also equally bad things happen to Naruto and now, the hour of Minato's death is approaching... it's ironic that is at the exact same hour that Minato first arrived at the clan's compound and exactly ten years have passed since then.

He was told by the man to keep his son away from him until he passes away...but… Yamato couldn't allow Naruto not to spend some final moments with his farther. "Naruto…. head towards the park where you first met Akeno." he says solemnly. Naruto looks at him confusingly but still nods his head and leaves. Yamato sighs deeply as two women approach him. The first one was a blue haired woman wearing a black suit and a yellow skirt and the second was a sleepy looking woman wearing a Chinese white dress with red lotus's decorations.

The blue haired woman was Makoto Sako, Yamato's personal bodyguard and Naruto's legal guardian if Yamato should meet an untimely demise.

The other woman was Fumi Kanno, his expert when it comes to technology and hacking. She is also Naruto's teacher and all round big sister figure. Makoto notices that her master was in grief,"Yamato-sama? I thought you told us we were spending the day with the young lord?"

Fumi sleepy demeanor changes slightly as she realized why her contractor was sad, "You told Naru-chi that Minato is going to hit the can?"

Yamato wipes away few tears and sighs once again, "Only the location...I want the boy to spend his father's last moment together." Makoto gains a sad face and nods. She loves Naruto as a little brother and knowing that he's about to witness his father last moments really breaks her heart.

Many people in the clan think she is pedophile because how always she's hugging Naruto and giving him more affection than anyone else, but it is only because the young boy had too many horrible events in his life. "I really wish we can save Namikaze-san...even though he's a being that we are supposed to despise, I can't think of him as anything less than a good friend."

Fumi puts her hands behind her back and nods, "But it's only because he forced himself to become a human that Naruto was able to be born at all. It's really sad that just when he was born, Minato got that disease…...now that I think about...… why only him? Naruto has half of that species in his veins right?"

Yamato nods and then his eyes widen, "Wait...when Minato became human and married Kushina...wasn't it also the same day that truce was made during the war?"

Makoto gasped, "Are you saying...?"

Yamato nods and gain a look of pure unadulterated rage, "Someone has made sure that Naruto's existence was more than what I originally thought was a lucky break...someone wanted my lord for him or herself."

Fumi's, though not as intimidating as Yamato's, frown was also quite unsettling, "I'm going back to my room and start looking for the one who did this. No one has ever stirred up my anger so much since I was born." she quickly leaves as she powers on her laptop and starts ferociously typing on it.

Makoto looks at Yamato who has stern serious look, "Yamato..."

"Makoto...we will found out why did this person steal the life of my dear friend and make him or her pay." he says in a cold voice and walks away without another word. He swears to himself to have his project and Naruto protection fully done by today.

IN SHINONO PARK

XXXXXXXXXX

The setting sun's orange light was illuminating the entire park as the evening summer breeze gently blows through the trees shaking up their small leaves and over the water of a small lake, creating small ripples that reflect orange light and create a shining glow. It was as if the whole small lake was made out of gold. The few birds still around sing their final songs, waiting for the sun to finally set and signal the time for them to sleep.

The whole park was almost devoid of any human life as this hour park visitors already left to their homes and families. The small playground that is usually filled with happy laughter of children is now silent. The park benches that are usually used by people who want to relax and enjoy the scenery are empty.

But there is one person at the park at this time of the day. The said person is standing in front the lake, looking at the sun as its slowly disappearing at the horizon. This person is Minato Namikaze. He came to this park to spend his last moments of life.

As Minato stares at the orange sun he pulls out a beautiful silver locket necklace with incredible incarnate designs. Pressing a small button on it, the locket opens up and reveals a small picture of beautiful woman with breathtaking red hair and violet eyes. Minato looks at the picture of his wife that passed away ten years ago. He remembers the deep sorrow his heart suffered as his wife's life faded away. But now, he will soon be reunited with her.

He closes the locket and holds it tightly in his hands. Despite the calming nature that surrounds him, he feels sad that his final moments will be spent alone…. until he hears footsteps of someone hastily approaching him. Minato turns around and is surprised to see his son Naruto running towards him.

Yamato, you damn fool. As Naruto reaches him, he couldn't help but smile. Despite not wanting him to be here, he can't help but feel grateful on the inside. He gets to see his son for one final time.

"Father, what are doing here alone by yourself!?Your health will only continue to get worse if you keep doing something like this!" Naruto scolds his father. "Come on, let's go back home before it gets cold."

Minato just stands in his place while looking at his son with saddened eyes, "Naruto… my son… I'm sorry but… I can't go back… not anymore…"

The way he somberly said those words made Naruto develop a deep feeling of dread inside. Like something really bad is about to happen. "What are you saying? Of course you can! Come on lets go, everyone's waiting!" Naruto says in confused and hesitant voice.

Minato's eyes gain even more sadness as he kneels down and places his hands on his son's shoulders. "I can't go back because… my time has finally run out…. .. Naruto…..…I'm dying….." he says in a grave voice.

Naruto eyes widen as his body starts trebling from uneasiness and fear. "W.. wh.. what? No… your… no… you can't be! Stop lying and scaring me like that dad! It's not funny! Don't say such things!" Naruto yells in a shaky voice.

This can't be happening…. this has to be some sort of joke… it has to be! But when Naruto looks at his father's eyes and sees not even a single trace of lie in them, the dread inside now turned into fear and sorrow. "…no … please no…. please tell me this isn't the truth…. It can't be…. father please!" Naruto tries to deny.

(Play Konami – Sorrow)

But before Minato can answer he suddenly breaks down into violent coughs. He covers his mouth with a hand in order to try and lessens them but when he removes it, he sees his palm collared completely in blood. Then it came…. unimaginable pain struck his chest or more specifically, the area where his heart is. He grabs his chest as it became hard to breathe and collapses on his back. He could hear his son's voice calling him but he couldn't make out the words as it sounded like it was so far away. But then the pain suddenly lessened, it didn't disappear but at least it became bearable… for now…

"Father! FATHER! What's wrong?! Talk to me please!" Naruto shouts in panic. Naruto's own heart frantically beats in fright as kneels down beside his collapsed father. Seeing at how he is not responding to his voice he decides to get up and search for some help but is stopped from his actions when he feels his father's hand grab his own. He looks at his father face and sees him shake his head,

"….don't …. It…it is too late…. nothing can save now…. please…. let me spend…. my final moments…. with my son…." says Minato between heavy breaths. Each one he took felt agonizing but for his son he will endure for a few more minutes.

"Father please, you need medical attention right now! I'll just go and-" He is cut off from continuing his sentence when the hand that held him in place let go and start petting him gently on the head.

"Naruto….I know that you understand…. that I cannot be saved…."

Naruto's hair bangs overshadow his eyes but clear visible tear lines can be seen forming on his cheeks. "I don't want to lose you…." he says in a voice filled with nothing but unrestrained sorrow, "I already lost so much…. my mother died before I could get to know her…. my two first friends from five years ago left and never returned…. then Akeno disappears without a trace…..and now...….I'm about to lose my farther as well…." with each word said Naruto's voice becomes more heavy and tears started running down faster. "If you go….. Then I'll have nothing left…. I'll be all alone-" "NO!"

Naruto is surprised by his father sudden outburst. "You're not alone! Never say that you're alone! Have you forgotten about your uncle Yamato... or Makoto… or Fumi! Don't you realize how much you mean to them… and it's not just to them… to the whole clan!" says Minato with a voice full of determination despite the pain each word brought him. "I know things may look bleak… but you're never alone…"

Minato then starts slowly getting up. Naruto is refilled with panic, "No! Don't move farther, save your strength!"

"Please… help me get to that tree…" Minato points at a tree that is only a few dozen meters away.

Despite wanting to refuse his father's request, Naruto complies. He places his arms around the waist to steady his father as they slowly make it to the tree. Then Naruto slowly and carefully let's Minato sit on grassy ground with his back leaning against the tree bark. Naruto himself sits by his father's side.

Few moments pass and Minato finally decides to speak again. "Naruto… I want you to promise me… that no matter what happens… you will continue on living… to meet many new friends… to experience many new things in life and… to become strong… so you could protect those precious moments…"

Fresh tears run down Naruto's cheeks again as at first there is a moment of hesitation, but it is quickly replaced by solid determination. "I promise."

A gentle smile appears on Minato's face, "Thank you…. my son….. remember… that no matter what happens… me and your mother will always love you… and will always remain…... within your heart…" Minato's says those final words as his eyelids start becoming heavier and heavier. He looks at the beautiful scenery for one last time and sees a transparent visage of a woman with red hair and violet eyes smiling warmly at him.

Kushina… we are finally together again…

Just as the setting sun fades away in the horizon, so does Minato's eyes close fully and his final breath fades away into the evening air.

At first there silence but after a few moments it is replaced with loud cries of sorrow from a child.

IN HOTSUIN COMPOUND, YAMATO'S OFFICE

"Thank you for agreeing on this, Haru..." Yamato look at a silver haired, lavender eye colored ten-year-old girl. "From this day on, you are legally my little sister that was hidden away from the clan in case I suffered an early death and you would have to step up to the leader position. Not even I was aware of your existence until recently and demanded that you live in my home."

The girl nods sternly, her face betraying no emotion, "And no one knows of my identity?"

"Your birth mother is the only one aware of it. Once again I thank you for agreeing to be Naruto's guardian and servant." the man gives her a perfect smile that was dangerously close to his real one that he rarely uses. He always wanted a little sibling, though her arrival here was only for Naruto.

Haru bows with respect, "But of course, to serve lord Uzumaki is the greatest honor that I can bestow upon our clan." she gave her honest answer to her legal elder brother.

Yamato's smile turned into a real one after hearing her words. This girl has the same mindset as he had before the meeting with lady Kushina, may her soul rest in peace. But don't be mistaken by this prayer. The Hotsuins don't believe in God, well… more precisely don't believe in god a religious way. They strictly believe that humans are stronger than anything else and must rely on their own strength in advancement instead of relying on one being for doing it for them.

Yamato used to be a robot in personality like the rest of the clan, until he met Kushina and after she became his first and only true friend. She taught him how to truly appreciate life and strangely enough, junk food.

"Good, you shall 'arrive' tomorrow at morning and comfort Naruto." Yamato eyes widen as he felt a familiar presence fade away. He closes his eyes and speaks in a stern but sad voice..."Haru...stay here...Minato has just passed away."

Haru bows as Yamato went to his room and grabbed his cellphone, "Fumi...Yes, he passed away...I see...can you please send Otome and Makoto to bring back Naruto and watch over him for the rest of the day?...Thank you...and please, if you want to go as well that's fine. He needs the comfort of people who really care for him." After finishing speaking, he hangs up. He looks at his desk where a picture frame was placed. The photo in it was of Kushina and Minato on their wedding day.

Makoto, Fumi and Otome were standing next a blushing Kushina who was smiling like a maiden in love and was preparing to throw the banquet.

On Minato's side stood a long blond-haired man and a well-endowed woman, who smile joyously at Minato, and a lazy looking man with blonde and black hair wearing a yukata and had his hand placed on Minato's shoulder. It was ironic that many of the people here couldn't stand each other's presence but had gathered for this one peaceful occasion since the truce.

He sighs as remembers how the two-lover's happiness spread over to others and made a momentary peace within the truce. He wished those silly days, as Kushina would have called it, were back. But as the head of the Hotsuin clan he knows that it's impossible. Being calm, rational and open minded are the key points to great leadership and every good leader had to have them.

He felt Naruto's energy signature approaching the building along with the three women he had sent out. It didn't take long for Yamato to feel the young lord enter his own room so… it was time… to prepare for the funeral.

IN NARUTO'S ROOM

XXXXXXXXXX

Naruto curled up in his bed crying as he still was grieving over the loss of his father, "It's not fair! Why me?!" Naruto couldn't help shout in despair. He simply lost too much in his life and couldn't stop his sorrows from surging through.

He stops crying when he hears his door open. What he saw enter his room was a younger female version of Yamato but except she was the same age as Naruto. She had short hair with a white and purple ribbon that had and equally same colored flower which was real. She wore a similar suit to Yamato's but with a short skirt instead of pants. She looks at Naruto with cold but at the same time sweet caring eyes, "I see that you do not recognize me. It is our first meeting...I am Haru Hotsuin, Yamato Hotsuin's younger sister. It is a great honor meeting you lord Naruto."

Naruto wipes away his tears and smiles weakly at the new member of the clan, "Thank you, I only wish this meeting was on a more joyous occasion."

Haru frowns, which still makes her look quite beautiful by the way, "Why do you have a fake smile rather than a true expression?"

Naruto chuckles bitterly at how he was found out, "Hehe, I suppose I am still really sad and can't hide my face behind a good mask."

"Why are you sad?"

"Because… because…my father has passed away and I'm still *sob* I'm still trying to get over it *sob* but it's hard!" he started to cry once again but when he tried to wipe away his tears he felt slender and softer fingers caress his cheeks. He looks in front of him and sees Haru gently wiping away his tears with her hands.

"My mother once told me that life makes the greatest challenges for us to become strong. It's in our nature to try and overcome those obstacles so we could grow strong enough to protect those who are precious to us...don't you think so?" she asks as her eyes look directly at the Uzumaki. "And in return those people will draw strength from us to overcome their own challenges in life..."

Naruto eyes widen as he remembers the promise he made to his father "I…I get it. My father may be gone but I need to keep my promise and need to be strong for the people who have also protected and nursed me...Haru…...thank you." he gratefully says to the younger sibling of Yamato.

Haru nods, "I simply don't want to see my lord sad and do everything I can to take that sadness away. Besides, we're going to be the only children here so I want to make sure that we can become good friends with each other."

Naruto smiles at hearing this but his eyes widen when Haru started to head for the door, "W-wait! Could you...I mean…could you perhaps stay with me for tonight? I'm really scared of being alone right now..." he blushes cutely.

Haru also sports a small blush but nonetheless nods, "Though it may be improper...I shall stay with you for the night..." she slips into the bed with her avowed lord as he drapes the sheets over them. Haru then gently hugs Naruto who welcomes the warmth.

Outside of the room stood Yamato who smiling gently, "She disobeyed my order and showed herself right now instead of tomorrow. She also went way beyond, then a servant would, in helping Naruto. But she managed to become his friend in the end…...she's perfect." he smiles with a big grin that only ever appeared once in his life…...things may be tough for Naruto but with Haru at his side, he will overcome any challenge.

Well as you can see I changed Miyako to Haru the reason for this is because the original author is using the name Miyako in his other story, so not to get anyone confused I decided to change the name. Here's a daily uploading schedule for this story. I'll update this story every Friday. Why? You may ask. That's because I want to update my other stories the rest of the week.

Thanks for reading and I'll see you guys next time.
