Hiya people. This is not the first fanfic that I placed up here but I just deleted my others. Let's hope I finish this one… Anyway! I would really appreciate any ideas AND criticism that you can give me. Mistakes makes almost miracles right? Flames may roast me a chicken please and thank you!
Disclaimer: Nope~ Sorry, Naruto belongs to the great Sir Kishimoto Masashi. All hail Sir Masashi! If I forget this in other chapters, I'm sure everyone can still tell I don't own Naruto right?
Chapter One: To Leave Is To Protect
Once upon a Konohagakure, Hidden Village of the Leaves, people lived peacefully. Although they had just gone through a long and bloody war between Iwagakure- Hidden Village of the Stones, they were happy. 'At least I still have my family. At least I'm still alive. At least we won.' But as all knows, peace can never last long. Soon the wrath of a great tailed-beast descended upon them. Fire scorched the land, burning the once luscious forests of Konoha into fields of ash and the smell of burnt flesh was always in the air. One swipe of the beast's tail and mountains shattered. One roar and people fell. One bite and blood rained. Fear surrounded all. Death swirled, collecting the souls of hundreds, thousands! People feared. People hated. And people lived like...people. Above all that, there was a man who had sworn to protect Konoha...
The Yondaime Hokage, Namikaze Minato, a powerful man who, with his special technique was named The Yellow Flash of Konoha. His life's purpose was to protect all of his people and to sacrifice anything to achieve peace. He and his wife, Namikaze-Uzumaki Kushina, had but just one small rejoice. She had just given birth to a little boy. They named him Naruto. After Minato's sensei's main character from his only non-perverted book; after a maelstrom. A whirlpool that spirals and spirals, sucking you into its depth, into a world of mysteries...
Staring deep into his wife's eyes as her life dwindled away -the aftermath of her birth-, Minato speaks "Kushina, Kushina. Our child is beautiful. So beautiful... I can't do this!" " You...have... to. As the...Hokage, your job is...to protect Konoha. A beast...is attacking us...and right in front of us... is a solution. It breaks... my heart to do this.... but we must! We can't…be selfish!" "But Kushina! I won't be able to protect him! YOU won't be able to protect him! We both are going to die after all this!" "Then she will... have to be strong ...without us. Go ...and save this pitiful village... that we both love so damn much…you little …WIMP!" "…Love you too honey." On October 10th, Namikaze-Uzumaki Kushina died two hours after the birth of her only child.
And so, gently taking hold of his son, Minato left the room where his wife's body lies dead and cold and went to the beast. Calling upon the Shinigami-the Death God- he traded his life to seal the beast within his one and only son. The famed beloved man of Konoha had condemned his son to a fate of pain and hate.
And the funniest thing? The people of Konoha in all their fear and hate treated the one who held the powers of the beast within as trash.....
Those of power are not afraid to use it
For five years, five long years, Konoha rebuilt their land. Homes were set up, families were formed. Konoha was almost back to its former glory. But there was an air of sadness and fear everywhere. To all the adults, they can still taste the fear instilled by Kyuubi-the nine-tailed demon that had suddenly appeared one day and attacked Konoha. After the death of the Yondaime, the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen took back the duty of the Hokage. But this man is old. How long will he last?
A child of five wanders the land of this village. The child had spiky blonde hair, azure eyes, tan skin that had cuts that were healing in a blink of an eye littered all over, and the most noticeable trait: 3 whiskers-like scars on each of his cheeks. His name is Uzumaki Naruto. Adults hate him and children ignore him. His parents are dead and he is someone who should not be born. ...Or at least that's what all the villagers tell him.
But never did he frown nor did he cry. Even at such a young age, he knew it was useless. These people will not change so easily. They will not wake up one day, see him cry, and decide to not hurt him anymore. Yet he could not hate them. How could he when he often talked to Kyuubi himself? By his 3rd birthday, he had already known the truth that no one will ever tell him,
He is the container- the sacrifice- for Kyuubi no Kitsune.
His father was the one who trapped him (or according to Kyuubi "You look exactly like the little yellow brat who fucking gave up his life to seal me when he could have just talked to me. Isn't my fault that I went crazy after seeing my family getting killed and then sent to another world!"?)
Oh yes. It wasn't exactly the Kyuubi fault. Apparently, Kyuubi was frolicking in his own world, hunting animals for his mate who had just given birth and was too weak to defend herself. Suddenly, the earth shook and when Kyuubi rushed back home, his family was killed. His mate was gutted open and they had stole the little jewel within all demons that gave them power. Then, just as he was going to give a big roar, he was whisked into this foreign land with these tiny little... thingies. What did you expect? Him to say "Oh hi little tiny thingies~ come and join me in a dance!"?
For a year, he seethed. His family killed, he got sent to a strange world, AND he was sealed into this tiny thingie! Luckily, he started to calm down when he noticed no one cared for his little host. Naruto had brought out the paternal side of his that never had a change to be shown.
When Naruto had found out, he didn't have much of a big reaction (Causing Kyuubi to believe that he had been hit once too many). Instead, he just said that it explains so much. All the glares and hateful words... and when Kyuubi asked if he hates her father, he had said "No I can never do that. That would have been so rude to an honorable man who had given up his life for his village-his home. Beside, I know that he loves me. I am the living proof of that."
Kittling, you do know that that makes no sense right?
"Humans don't make sense. That's why we are alive."
Now back to Naruto walking down the street. It had been his birthday yesterday. Usually, Sandaime would visit him but he was too busy. Unfortunately, that meant the villagers had beaten him up. By noon, he had 5 broken bones and cuts all over. Luckily, Kyuubi healed him. But here was the problem: how can he protect Konoha if he couldn't even protect himself. Yup, he had inherited his parents' love for Konoha.
And here was another problem! He can't get stronger if he stays in Konoha. They won't let him! To protect Konoha, he must leave and get stronger. But where can he go?
Kittling, you know that you can ask me right?
But you don't know this land.
True but I know power and power is the same everywhere.
Good or bad power?
There is no such thing as good or bad power. There are only good or bad wielders.
Oo! Then what are you waiting for!? LEAD ON!
Hey! You can't blame him. No matter how much he has gone through, he is still a child!
Leaving Konoha was simple. The village needed better surveillance. And thus began Uzumaki Naruto's quest to protect a village that hates him.
He left Konoha to protect Konoha but never did he truly LEAVE Konoha. Always, ALWAYS, he will slither in the shadows waiting to protect this village that had damned him.
"Shit! I really don't make sense!"
Well how did you like that? I'll say this to everyone. IF THIS STORY SEEMS SIMLIAR TO YOURS, I AM VERY SORRY BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS 99.99% MINE! THE OTHER .1% BELONGS TO MY EVIL MONKIES.
If you review, I will try my best to reply.
See you soon~
