Revenge In Iwa
It was a peaceful and calm night in the village of Konohagakure. There was a full moon out, and millions of stars could be seen in the sky. A light breeze could be felt and observed if you watched the abundant trees surrounding the village slowly sway side to side. Too many, this night could be considered "perfect." To others it could be seen as an average night in their beloved village. That was how most of the village saw the night at least.
A certain young man could not say the same though. Well, he could say it was just an average night, but his "average night" was much more different and dark than others. This individual was the most hated and despised person in the village. He was the eight year old "demon scum of Konoha," Naruto Uzumaki.
In appearance Naruto was something that under normal circumstances a woman would see and then immediately want to pick up and cuddle, while squealing "kawaii." He had smooth spiky golden blonde hair that was surprisingly soft, as well as two spiky locks adorning the sides of his head. Overall it looked like a shorter version of the Yondaime Hokage's hair.
He had two pools of amethyst for eyes. His face was slightly pointed, yet slightly round in an almost perfect combination. The features that would cause him to be cuddled in the first place, were the three whisker marks on each cheek that gave him the ultimate kawaii look.
Besides his facial features, Naruto was of average height for his age and quite thin. Most of the baby fat still usually on children his age was gone. The reason, being the constant "runs" he was forced to take.
In fact he was on a "run" right now with a few guests. This was the second this week, and Naruto was running as fast as he could. These guests were a few drunk villagers brandishing weapons such as kitchen knives, shattered glass bottles, and various metal tools. Leading the group was a drunk chunin, who really shouldn't of been chunin because of his lack of skills. The chunin was running with a recently sharpened kunai, loosely gripped in his hand, that was intended to cause immense pain to his prey. Luckily for Naruto, the chunins drunken state hindered his speed, making him move in a pace equal with the villagers behind him.
While he wouldn't look behind him, since it might slow him down, he guessed there were eight of them. Although he knew one was a ninja because of the chunin jacket he caught a glimpse of before, which was extremely bad. He had been running for five minutes now, and while he wasn't tired, it was only a matter of time for him to make a wrong turn.
Through his sensitive hearing and the quieting of their footsteps. The blonde noticed the distance between his pursuers and himself was increasing. He made a quick turn into an alley and proceeded to continue following it, while making random turns in the branches of alleys he was running through. He had thought he had lost them and gave a mental cheer until he was forced to stop because of the dead end he was faced with.
The sounds of footsteps became louder and louder as he simply stood frozen and hoped they would make a wrong turn and he could finally lose them. Luck was not on his side though because it turned out the chunin had a sensor ability. While not very strong, it was still enough to easily find Naruto, considering how large his reserves were, and how potent of an aura he gave off. Panic and fear coursed through Naruto's body as the group rounded the last corner and came face to face with himself.
The chunin let a smirk appear on his face as he slowly walked towards the boy who was frozen in fear. Internally the chunin was giddy, for soon the demon would know the pain it caused him, when it killed his wife eight years ago. The grip on the chunins kunai increased as he shoved Naruto into the wall and in a swift movement lifted the boy's hand above his head, and thrusted the kunai through it and into the wall, pinning him. As quickly as the first, a second was pierced through Naruto's other hand symmetric to the original. Two more kunai were pulled out and driven into Naruto's feet, rendering him unable to escape.
As the chunin looked up at the "demon brat" hoping to see pain on its features, he only found a face devoid of emotion. This resulted in a wide smirk and a new goal to formulate. Make this as painful as possible.
He brought his fist into Naruto's stomach, while staring into his eyes, only to find no change. The chunin backed up and announced they could do anything they wanted, except killing the demon, since death would be letting it off easy, and they had been told the demon would change back into the fox, if it's human form was killed.
The drunken villagers that were watching with vicious grins lined up and each took turns dishing out "justice" to the demon. They stabbed him in non lethal places as well as delivered painful punches and kicks. One man even lit a lighter and proceeded to heat up the end of his knife and sear it into the blonde.
Soon a few curious villagers who were looking for the source of commotion they heard found the scene and even joined in. After ten minutes of torture even more joined and now there were around 20 villagers getting revenge on the demon.
Despite the immense pain coursing through his small body, Naruto didn't give them the satisfaction of showing it. He took it and only focused on the near future when they would leave him to rot. Besides, compared to some of the "sessions" he had been through, this felt like they were tickling him.
A deep voice laced with hatred boomed through his mind. "Kit, why do you allow them to do this to you? Why not take my power and destroy them? We both know you want too."
Naruto let a sigh escape in his mind. "You know I can't Kurama. The council will make me out as the villain and probably have me executed or something." In response the giant fox scoffed and continued keeping the boy's body from bleeding to death.
Over the past two years Naruto had developed a sort of close friendship towards the strongest creature in the world, who happened to live in him. They weren't the best of friends, but they held respect for each other and cared for each other. Kurama claimed he didn't care what happened to the blonde, but Naruto knew the furball was actually a big softy at heart and did care. Throughout the day, when Naruto did whatever he did, they usually talked about all different kinds of things, usually Kurama's past. When Naruto was asleep or….taking a nap from one of his "runs." He would enter his mindscape that was now a huge forest, scaled to accommodate the fox, and filled with large lakes and rivers. Kurama was especially grateful since being stuck in a sewer for three generations was getting old. Overall they were partners in a way and it was a good thing since they would be stuck together for a long time.
Flashback - About 2 Years Ago
A six year old boy could be seen lying in a pool of blood near the edge of the village. His hair was soaked with the warm thick liquid he laid in, while his skin seemed to be painted in the same dark red substance. He was slowly drifting into blissful unconsciousness after having another weekly beating. A frown could be seen on his bruised and broken face, and if you looked close enough, a few tears could be seen rolling down his cheeks. He had gone through two years of countless torture and only one question always circulated into his mind at these moments, "why me?" That was his last thought before unconsciousness overtook him. Although it would be a little different this time.
Naruto seemed to wake up at the end of tunnel. He lifted himself up and noticed the floor was covered in a few inches of water. He looked around a little more with an odd sense of deja-vu going through his head. That was when it struck him. He was in the sewers of Konoha. He had been in here a few times to hide from the mobs of villagers and had become familiar with the place. He looked down to see all his injuries were healed, just like they always were after he woke up. The blonde was curious though as to why he was in the sewer when the last place he remembered being in was a clearing at the edge of the village. Shrugging it off, he started to walk in the only path available to hopefully find an exit.
He had been walking for a few minutes now and still couldn't find an exit and oddly the sewer didn't branch off and remained strait. He was starting to become annoyed when he saw what looked like an opening in the distance. Quickly he began to run towards the opening and after what felt like hours he reached it.
Slowing down to a walk he entered the opening, which on the other side was actually a huge room. In fact the room was so huge he could say it was the biggest room he had ever seen, which wasn't really much to begin with. He looked to the far end to see giant bars reaching the ceiling resembling the front of a cage. The ceiling itself was hundreds of feet high, while the width of the room was about about the same as the room was in height. About 50 feet up in the center of the bars was a large paper that Naruto could see had the kanji for "seal" on it as well as a seal matrix that was identical to the one on his stomach.
As he walked closer to the cage, curious to see what was in the darkness inside, he froze as a giant claw shot out and came an inch away from his face. This resulted in him to fall on his ass and shock to appear on his face. The claw retracted as two giant red slitted eyes slowly opened and focused on him. Naruto could've sworn the creature was peering into his soul. The light seemed to increase in the cage until the full view of the being inside could be seen.
The Kyuubi of course expected the boy to cower in fear from seeing the strongest of bijuu so close, but instead the opposite happened.
The shocked look seemed to wear off the blondes face and was replaced with a look of amazement. He observed the mighty animal from his seated position and let out a simple "wow."
The Kyuubi only lifted a brow and asked "Do you know who I am human?." His voice loud and powerful, and had a tone that demanded respect.
Naruto quickly ended his amazed look and quickly and respectfully responded "you are the mighty Kyuubi no Yoko of course."
A smirk quickly appeared on the fox's face. Normally he would simply intimidate and scare or kill any human in front of him, but this boy was different. He had seen what this young boy had seen and he respected him for it. Despite being innocent the boy received such brutal treatment and still never hurt anyone in retaliation, although he wished the kit would. He decided to be decent to the kit and see how he would react. It helped the gaki wasn't clueless or stupid. "Do you you know where you are human?"
Naruto responded with a negative headshake and quickly asked "where am I."
The Kyuubi continued to stare at the boy looking for any signs of fear and was surprised when he found none. "You are in your mindscape of course." At the confused look the blond was giving off, he reminded himself that this boy was only six and decided to make this simple. "Let me make this easier for you human. What does that piece of paper on the front of the bars say and have on it?"
Naruto quickly replied "it says 'seal' and under it is the same seal that appears on my stomach when jiji puts his hand on it"
"Good, now what am I and where are we?"
Naruto replied with "you are the Kyuubi no Yoko and you said we are in my mindscape." At that moment everything clicked in Naruto's young mind. All the people calling him a demon or a monster. All the angry looks people gave him and the way parents took their children away when he came to the playground. All the beatings he received. The odd seal on his stomach that matched the one on the paper, which was right on the cage containing the giant fox he was speaking too. It all made sense now. The Kyuubi no Yoko that destroyed the village on the day he was born, six years ago, was sealed inside him.
He had started taking fuinjutsu lessons from his jiji two months ago, on every sunday for an hour. The reason was because he read that the Yondaime, who was his idol, was a fuinjutsu master and he wanted to be one just like him. The first thing his jiji had told him was that just because a kunai is sealed into a scroll, it does not make the scroll the kunai itself. He didn't understand the purpose of it before, but he did now.
At the look of the down saddened face, the Kyuubi was about to speak until the blonde beat him to the punch. "Why were you sealed into me." His voice so broken and desperate, that the Kyuubi actually even if just a bit, felt bad for the young boy.
"A bijuu such as myself cannot be killed. We are giant masses of chakra given form and mind. If we receive injuries that would normally 'kill' us, we simply fade to nothing and reform somewhere else in a few years. We were seen as potential weapons and as a result were sealed into people to use us as a way to increase military power. So when I was freed from my previous hosts seal, the Yondaime quickly sealed me into an infant to keep my power in the village, him dying in the process. The infant being you." The Kyuubi had finished his little lecture not breaking eye contact with the boy the entire time. A look of understanding appeared on the boy before being replaced with his previous face of sorrow.
His voice barely above a whisper spoke another question. "Why did he choose me? Their had to be plenty of other babies in the village. Out of everyone in the village that could've been used, WHY DID HE CHOOSE ME?" The Kyuubi's chakra began to slowly seep into the boy as his appearances became more feral and animal-like. Quickly acting to prevent the blonde from further injuring himself. The Kyuubi cut off the leaking chakra and absorbed the cloak starting to surround Naruto into himself.
As the sudden burst of energy left his body, Naruto sunk to his knees and began to weep into his hands. The Kyuubi feeling touchy at the display stuck one of his giant tails through the bars and wrapped it around the boy's small body in an attempt to comfort him. Naruto clung to the tail unconsciously and continued to weep.
After what felt like a a year too the Kyuubi, but was actually only two minutes. Naruto calmed down and got his act together. After Naruto softly apologised and the Kyuubi retracted his tail, Naruto asked the same question he asked before. "Seriously though Kyuubi, why did he choose me?"
The Kyuubi knew the answer of course and was internally debating whether or not to tell the kit. On one hand, his host could develop a hate for the Yondaime, whom he already despised. But on the other, the gaki could potentially begin to cry again, and he didn't want to go through what he just got out of. Deciding to gamble on the first he spoke to the awaiting boy. "The reason your Yondaime Hokage sealed myself into you, instead of some random child, was because he didn't want to put the burden that I am, onto an innocent family. He felt it was his duty as Hokage to save the village by sealing it into his son. This is what confused me since the technique he used to do so, trapped him in the stomach of the Shinigami, taking a quarter of my chakra with him. The reason, was because your body, which wasn't even an hour old wouldn't be able to handle all of it then, but the seal let me increase to normal as you got bigger. What confused me was why didn't he seal me inside himself and trap us both in the Shinigami? The only answer I could find was so his village remained strong and gained a powerful weapon to be used in whatever way necessary, to keep the village on top." Proud with his explanation he looked to the kit to gauge his reaction, which was exactly as he had figured it would be.
Naruto could not believe it. He had looked up to the Yondaime as a goal to surpass, as his idol. He absolutely loved the man and saw him as a hero that everyone looked up too, and hoped people would someday look at him the same. That entire mindset had just shattered into a million pieces from the Kyuubi's words. He wanted to punch something, to kill something. His breathing started to become ragged and a look of pure rage formed his on his face. His father had condemned him to this awful life of pain and misery. Slowly his face of rage began to disappear as he controlled his anger and decided to get more answers. "If you know who my father is do you know my mother as well?" "Father," coming out as a snarl.
The Kyuubi simply nodded and decided to fill in his host a little. "Your mother was actually my second host. She was sealed into me right before my first host, Mito Uzumaki, died. Her name was Kushina Uzumaki, the S Ranked Red Death of Whirlpool. Although not well known by many today, I personally regard her as one of the strongest Kunoichi in history, after only Mito Uzumaki. Despite her strengths, she was a tomboy of sorts, but was still very kind and loved by all who were lucky enough to meet her. She was very out-going and had love for ramen and pranks only rivalled by yourself. She fell in love with your father, and later became pregnant with you. She loved you too much, in my opinion, since she would never shut up about it. For ten months everything was about you, and then you were born. Despite being weak from birth, she survived my extraction, and if it makes you feel better she BEGGED Minato to not seal me in you, although that was not what he had planned. I was then sealed, but not right before I witnessed her die aters succumbing to her injuries "
Naruto was literally crying tears of joy. He had just found out he actually had one parent who loved him. His mother sounded amazing and he was happy to hear she was as strong as she was, although it was still sad to hear how she passed away. Although, his anger for father had only increased from that.
Moving those thoughts to the side, he pondered on the coincidence that every host was named Uzumaki. Curiosity getting the best of him he decided to just ask. "Kyuubi If you don't mind me asking, who are the Uzumaki's. I thought my name was just some random name from a civilian or something."
The Kyuubi grinned at how observant the boy was and began to tell him his origins. "Your mother, Kushina came to your village shortly before her home Uzushiogakure, was destroyed in a joint assault by Kiri, Kumo, and Iwa, shortly after the second shinobi war. The reason being the inhabitants of Uzu, the Uzumaki's, were very powerful and renowned for their mastery of fuinjutsu. They were stamina freaks and extremely strong, and when coupled with their immense chakra reserves and abilities in kenjutsu, they were seen as an immense threat. Uzu was allied with Konoha, as well as the Uzumaki clan being one of the three founding clans of Konoha along with the Uchiha and Senju clans, the latter being the Uzumaki's cousins. During the first two wars, Uzu protected Konoha countless times and were main benefactors for many of their victories. Despite such strength, they were pacifists, and when the wars ended they went back to their everyday lives not wanting to continue battle. Kiri, Kumo, and Iwa saw them as much too big of a threat, so they sent a combined force of 10,000 to destroy the 600 that were Uzu. Against the odds Uzu managed to defeat around 80 percent of them, before being completely slaughtered. What always confused me was why did Konoha never come to their aid? Uzu had learned of the assault a week before it happened and managed to send Kushina and a message saying they needed help, but they never got it. Mito who told me most of this, told me her theory, which I agree with. She believed that since they had Kushina, they could restart the Uzumaki clan in Konoha, while being controlled to their liking. So they saved their own forces and let Uzu be destroyed. To answer your original question, the only people who can contain me and not explode, are the Uzumaki's. The reason being their chakra is much larger and denser than others, and can blend with mine easier than others for some reason."
Throughout the explanation Naruto was both happy and extremely pissed. He was happy that he came from such a strong and revered clan and pissed that this village let them die. If Kyuubi was correct, Uzu had saved Konoha's ass throughout the wars and to repay them. Konoha abandoned them and used his mother for their own selfish reasons.
To be honest, he was done with this village. He wanted to just leave it and never return, but it seemed the Kyuubi could read his thoughts.
"Despite how tempting it is you cannot simply waltz out of the village. You are the jinchuuriki and a vital key to this villages military. You are also the heir to the Uzumaki clan and your children are bound to become powerful. That is something they will not willingly let go. They will hunt you down and lock you up for the remainder of your life and when you are of a reasonable age, breed you of as many Uzumaki's as they want. You must think ahead and plan your actions, which might take a while."
Nodding Naruto started to feel a pull and was told by the Kyuubi someone was approaching his body. Consciousness started to creep up on Naruto and his surroundings began to fade before he was awoken to the sight of a dog-faced Anbu, who proceeded to pick him up and carry him in direction of the Hokage mansion.
In his head the Kyuubi told him the meeting they had, opened up a mental link for the two of them to speak to one another when Naruto was conscious. Naruto was startled at first, but soon smiled knowing he had someone to talk to when he wanted.
Remembering he never got the Kyuubi's name he simply asked. The Kyuubi had never been asked his name before and was greatly shocked, but his face turned into that of happiness, and responded "Kurama."
Flashback End
Remembering his first encounter with Kurama caused the boy to smile on the outside. This only served to anger his attackers and to step up their actions. Luckily for Naruto it was short lived as a familiar presence filled the alley and soon the villagers were all placed under a genjutsu and and anbu grabbed the chunin and disappeared in a shunshin directed for Ibiki Morino in the I.T. department at Anbu HQ. Dropping down in front of Naruto was the old man himself, the Sandaime Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. A man he once called his jiji with real happiness and joy, but now with a fake mask he pretends to like the bastard in. Every since he learned that the Sandaime was the one that let Uzu fall he could never forgive him and actually began to hate him to a point. Also knowing the bastard lied to him about his heritage didn't help either.
He pretended to be the same as before since the old fart was teaching him fuinjutsu and tried to teach him the Bunshin Jutsu (Clone Technique), but he had too much chakra for it. Plus it wasn't like he had access to any scrolls or such to teach himself, and Kurama didn't know any human techniques.
Now that he was safe the Hokage released him from the wall and gently carried him to his home to be tended to by his personal doctor Kazuo. Kazuo was a kind old man around Sarutobi's age that was one of the few people in the village to see Naruto for who he is. Naruto himself liked the man and often talked to him when he was could.
Upon arriving Hiruzen noticed Naruto was already healing at a fast rate, which was common at this point and by the time he was laid down and being examined he was halfway healed. The only thing Kazuo had to do was give Naruto a few painkillers and set a few bones straight and his job was done.
Halfway through, Naruto had fallen asleep and the old Kage had no idea that in the not so distant future, Konoha would be changed forever. Not necessarily in a good way either.
What do you think of my first chapter of my first story? Did it suck? Was it amazing? I don't know if you don't tell me so make sure you leave a review, and thank you for taking the time to read it.
