Yo! Welcome to the Contractors of Konoha! This is my first story that I have written, so experienced writers and readers I would really appreciate some constructive criticism if necessary! I was inspired to write this story after watching this anime called Kaze no Stigma it was a one season only anime and manga that stopped in 2009 due to the death of the author Takahiro Yamato R.I.P. Anyhow let's begin.
Konohagakure no Sato. A village that symbolizes a gentle, powerful giant. Adored by her allies, dreaded by her enemies. There are multiple reasons that Konoha is considered the strongest village in the shinobi world today. Not because of the Hokages, not because of her jounin, not due to her valiancy, not for her legendary shinobi. But instead for her unpredictability, how Konoha can produce bloodthirsty monsters wanting nothing but destruction, (Orochimaru) or peace loving titans with the power to destroy an entire country. (Minato Namikaze)
However that generation has come and gone, now from the ashes of the Kyuubi attack and its sealing, a new generation of power is on the horizon, but are they stuck in the ideals of the past or will they soar like no one could imagine.
Konoha, 7 years after Kyuubi sealing
Two young boys are walking the streets of Konoha a relaxed face is in place on both of their faces. The first boy standing on the left side stood at 47 inches and wore black combat pants with an electric blue t-shirt on with the Uchiha crest on the back. He had shoulder length white hair which had extremely wild spikes that seemed to point out in every direction. Besides his hair his most defining feature were his electric blue eyes that looked like you were staring at a Raikiri.
The boy standing to his right was wearing a white t-shirt with an Uchiha crest on the back and khaki cargo shorts, he had hair that defied gravity and stood up and out and was a dark brown color, and his eyes were an orange color. He stood slightly shorter than his companion at 45 inches.
"Oi, Naruto you awake?" asked the shorter of the two
"No, baka I always sleep while walking with my eyes open. What do you think Kazuma." The one now identified as being Naruto spoke clearly annoyed.
"Really now, so were you sleeping when you took that scroll out of Tou-san's library without asking?" asked Kazuma mischievously.
"How did you know about that Kazuma please don't tell anyone" Naruto begged now crying anime tears
"I didn't you just told me, what was in it?" Kazuma said grinning with both eyes closed not being able to see the barely restrained fury in his companion's eyes.
"Some information on the sharingan but it was nothing that we hadn't already been told" Naruto explained while sighing.
"You'd better hurry and return it before Kaa-san finds out that yo…" Kazuma was interrupted by the arrival of a new person, he had short, unkempt, dark-colored hair and a relatively broad nose and well-defined eyelashes, which were turned upwards at each end. He wore the standard attire of the Uchiha clan which includes a high-collared, dark-colored outfit along with a tantō strapped to the right side of the back of his shoulder. He also wore what appeared to be a harness for his tantō which ran across his chest and fastened over both his shoulders. His most prominent feature was the fully matured sharingan that stared down on the two children in front of him.
"Before Kaa-san finds out what, explain twins!" the teen said.
"N-nothing nii-san" both Naruto and Kazuma stammered out at the same time earning a chuckle from their brother.
"Have you guys been giving poor Kaa-chan problems, while I was away on a mission" at the same time as he was talking he grabbed the boys arms and he shunshin'd them to in front of the academy.
"There is an interesting answer to that question Shisui, I believe we should discuss it over breakfast" spoke one blonde haired man as he walked over to the children of one of the greatest shinobi to ever grace Konoha, Uchiha Genma.
"Is it really Minato-taichou, breakfast actually sounds pretty good about now" all the while Naruto and Kazuma were both staring at two children that were believe it or not also staring at them.
The first of the unknown duo (Same description as Naruto though his name is Menma), the other was Ayano Senju (same description as Ayano Kannagi just 7 years old).
The white-haired Uchiha was the first to speak, "You got a problem with us?"
"Maybe, what are you going to do about it old man?" Menma responded with a victorious smirk. Remarking on Naruto's white hair. Naruto's eye twitched dangerously as he closed his eyes and electricity began to faintly flicker into existence around Naruto's body, but was calmed down by the red-head girl speaking up.
"Can we at least introduce each other first, jeez, boys are so violent. My name is Ayano Senju"
"Namikaze Menma"
"Uchiha Kazuma"
"Uchiha Naruto" Ayano narrowed her eyes at the name Uchiha before she could respond however they were interrupted by the sound of the academy bell.
"Get to class, all of you, I'll will have words with you two later, Naruto, Kazuma" Shisui spoke calmly. The two twins gulped as "words with you later" usually meant an uncomfortable evening, but they nodded none the less.
"Minato-taichou, how about that breakfast, I'm pretty hungry right about now" spoke Shisui as he sheepishly scratched the back of his head.
"Shisui meet me at the Jounin lounge" Shisui's eyes widened at the serious tone in Minato's voice. Then disappeared in a shunshin.
The jounin lounge was a club for were jounin could come to and relax after missions or just come and talk to other jounin. Hear we see a hooded Minato and Shisui in a corner with tea in front of them.
"So, Minato-taichou, why did you call me here?" asked Shisui generally curious.
"Shisui, I stepped down as Hokage in order to restore the balance and flow of things you know this right?" seeing Shisui nod but raise an eyebrow he sighed and continued "Shisui, I'm starting to doubt the Sandaime's judgment now-a-days, sure he is a great shinobi and a genius even among Nara's, but someone that has lived through 3 shinobi wars cannot be in the best mental health and his mask is starting to slip, he has asked me on several occasions to have Menma taken to Danzo so that he can be "conditioned" to be a shinobi. While this was easily dealt with, your brothers are being pursued due to what happened while you were gone on your mission.
FLASHBACK
In the middle of the night a huge crack of thunder flashed out over the village as violent winds tore away at the tree tops violently scattering leaves all over the village and forest.
CRACK
Another resounding boom rung all over Konoha as another impossibly violent bolt of lightning struck the sky over the village. The strange thing was that there was no rain at all, just wind and lighting. ANBU that were watching all the happenings went over to the Uchiha compound as they felt divine chakra radiating from that general area. When they arrived at the compound what they saw was put simply awe-inspiring, there standing barefoot on the lake Naruto was standing on the lake with a faraway look in his eyes as the entire lake surged with high voltage electricity as did the boy's body, the ANBU had to channel chakra into their eyes to keep from looking away from the his body.
Out of the corner of the ANBU's eyes they saw a barefoot Kazuma walking out towards the lake and the ANBU yelled warnings at the boy and as the captain nodded towards two ANBU to retrieve the boy, Kazuma, instead of walking forward bent his knees and began to ascend above the lake and as he moved towards his electric brother in the center of the lake, violent winds picked up and caused stinging mist to fly from the lake towards the ANBU who had to jump out of the way in fear of being electrocuted.
When the two brothers met in the middle of the lake Naruto began to ascend just above the lake to his brother's level, increasing the electrical output and decreasing the safety level of the area. When close enough to Naruto, Kazuma reached out to him and he to Kazuma, when they joined hands, violent electric waves pushed out further by Kazuma's wind obliterated trees and the edge of the sand around the lake turned to glass.
Naruto was the first to pass out leaving Kazuma to glide back over the lake with Naruto and soon the wind died down too and Kazuma passed out next to his brother on the beach. After the captain made sure it was safe he ordered two ANBU to deliver the two Uchiha to the hospital and explain these happenings to the Hokage and the parents of the boys. The captain personally retrieved Genma and Momoka. The two worried Uchiha barged into the Hokage's office. Sharingan blazing.
"What happened to my boys?" roared Genma. ANBU began to move to restrain Genma but they were waved off by Hiruzen.
"Fear not Genma, Momoka, this is good news however I will have to ask you to calm down so that this old man can tell you a story" the whiskered warrior nodded towards the chairs in the room insisting they sat down. "Minato I believe that you can come out now"
"Minato what are you doing here" asked Genma surprised to see the man.
"To ensure the safety of the Hokage, since the Uchiha aren't necessarily known for their patience" smirked the Namikaze as Genma simply responded with 'hn'.
"PLEASE, continue Hokage-sama" Momoka spoke with a strained smile.
"But of course, Momoka-chan, to begin this tale I need to go back to the time of the Shodaime and Nidaime Hokages. This fact is not well known and is kept a secret, only those that can utilize sage chakra or use the elite summons that teach sage chakra, which means that me, Minato, Jiraiya, Tsunade, unfortunately Orochimaru, the Nidaime and Shodaime and anyone else killed by this group. The Shodaime was thought to have died during an invasion of Konoha and fighting off many powerful ninja is a lie and I know this because I was there when he died.
FLASHBACK IN A FLASHBACK
"Tobirama, Saru, Kagami retreat back to safety I'll handle this easy" spoke Hashirama with a reassuring smile
"Of course Aniki we do need to keep moving there isn't a force on Earth that could stop you, let's go, Kagami, Saru!"
"Who are you 5"asked Hashirama generally curious. The one who appeared to be the leader just smirked and spoke calmly
"We are the contractors of the "Dai Gogyo" (Great 5 elements) and we are here to end you, I am the contractor of the lord of fire" spoke the apparent leader, a male
"I am the contractor of the lord of lightning" spoke the second, a male
"I am the contractor of the lord of earth" spoke the third, a male
"I am the contractor of the lord of water" spoke the fourth, a female
"I am the contractor of the lord of wind" spoke the fifth, a female
"Together we cannot be defeated, we control the spirits of all the basic elements of life, we cannot lose and more importantly" the leader paused and all 5 closed their eyes and then opened them revealing in to Hashirama the truth, the Kaminari no Stigma wielded the sharingan, the Jimen no Stigma wielded the Byakugan as did the Mizu no Stigma, the Kaze no Stigma wielded the sharingan as well but the, Hi no Stigma's eyes made Hashirama's blood run cold, in his eyes were the legendary Rinnegan.
END FLASHBACK IN FLASHBACK
"So you see Hashirama died at the hands of the Contractors not the foreign ninja that attacked the village, Tobirama used the Edo Tensei to explain Hashirama's death as they couldn't have the people know that there was a group of people strong enough to kill the strongest shinobi alive. The only reason we found out is because Hashirama sent a clone back to inform us during the fight"
"While this is surprising what does this have to do with my boys?" asked demanded
"I was getting there Genma-san" the aged Hokage took a pause to take a puff from his pipe.
"Continuing on, the contractors had natural unparalleled elemental ability due to signing a contract with the king of the spirits of their respective elements, giving them unlimited access to the element. Your boys, Naruto and Kazuma are both contractors, Naruto, the Kaminari no Stigma and Kazuma the Kage no Stigma"
And that's a wrap on the first chapter I hope you all enjoyed and please review so that I can improve, also all of the contractors aren't going to be in Konoha, for one I don't care for Konoha and also because that would be crap, in any case I might make a special team during the 4th Shinobi War arc, consisting of only the contractors. You'll actually be surprised and SPOILER ALERT DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW!
All of the contractors will be in the chuunin exams so until next time.
JA NE!
