Chapter 1
Blood ties
Minato looked out as the Kyūbi was being drawn into the seal he had made, four tails-worth of its power was already inside the seal. All that was left was a little more time and his son would be its new jailer. To be honest though, the claw sticking out of his chest "DEFINITELY" wasn't doing him any favours. Kushina had already past away a moment ago, yet there was no time for him grieve.
Just when he was about to seal the rest of the Kyūbi, he saw a large rip in reality appear next to his son, slowly sucking Naruto in. (similar to what a hollow does in Bleach) Turning round, he saw the fox grinning menacingly.
"I won't be sealed away again flesh-bag. I'd prefer to lick my wounds until my power returns, rather than be sealed inside that fucking insignificant child." Thought Kyūbi distastefully, trying to make the portal swallow Naruto as quickly as possible.
Minato was at a loss of what to do. The Kyūbi's Yin chakra was already sealed permanently away, causing him to lose his life-force by the second. If he let the Kyūbi get away with what it was planing, Naruto would be lost to the ninja world forever, Kyūbi would eventually come back to destroy its enemies and that masked man would most likely try to use the Kyūbi again.
Quickly coming up with the best option for his village, he reinforced the seal on Naruto to hold the four tails-worth of Kyūbi's chakra he had inside him instead. Making it impossible for Kyūbi to regain its strength, giving his village a better chance to defend against it if the masked man tried to use the Kyūbi again. He eventually felt Kyūbi turn into clouds of chakra evaporating in the air.
Looking towards Naruto who was almost completely sucked in. Minato couldn't help feeling ashamed of himself. He could kill over three hundred men in an instant, protect a village containing over a few thousand people. But when it came to his family, he couldn't even say that everything would be alright to his infant son.
The love of his life was dead in front of him and his newborn son was to be gone forever before his very eyes. Smiling softly, he quickly ran through some hand signs and touched Naruto's head, leaving a seal on Naruto's forehead that soon disappeared. Leaving Minato dead on the floor and Naruto forever gone from the Elemental Nations.
It would be discovered a few years from now that Minato's actions that day saved the world from Madara Uchiha being unable to recreate the Jūbi and eventually led to Madara's defeat.
(Unknown place.)
In the middle of a large dark stone room, stood a tall man with missing skin from half his face, leaving one eyeball and teeth exposed to the open. He appeared to be holding a small blond haired baby as a group of figures sat in the shadows looking at him in confusion.
"Would you care to repeat that Dae." Asked Rimuto in a dangerous tone.
"I said that I wish to implant Yoma flesh and blood into this boy," replied Dae in a smooth tone.
Rimuto looked at him with suspicion. Everyone in the organisation knew very well that any male who was implanted Yoma flesh and blood, was to eventually to into a awakened being. The same happens to female, only at a much lower rate. Rimuto knew that Dae had found something special in the boy if he was willing to openly confront him about this.
"What makes you so interested in this child if your willing to implant Yoma flesh and blood in him, even though you know the risks?"
Dae smirked at him, showing he knew something very interesting about the boy. "On my travels to collect specimens to research on. The claymore that was with me at the time, managed to detect an unusual energy coming from ahead of us. As we got there, I discovered this boy on the ground. The claymore detected an unidentifiable energy inside him, along with something similar to Yoki."
The occupants in the room were stunned at what they were hearing, but before they could ask questions Dae started to speak. "At first I thought the claymore had gone insane, so I came back here to get a second opinion off a different claymore. She felt the same energy inside him also. I checked the boys blood to find out what he is, and there wasn't a trace of Yoma DNA in him or in his flesh. The boy even possesses a healing ability that is almost the same as our claymores"
Rimuto was in deep thought. This boy had an energy inside of him that had never been seen before in the world. A part of it was similar to a Yoma's, yet the boy was completely human with a healing ability. That brought up a similar question as the before.
"Why would you want to add Yoma flesh and blood into him?"
"I believe that adding it to him would cause a more perfect merging of the flesh and blood to his body. His healing factor would be able to adapt his body more quickly to the blood and flesh, to create a more stable fusion than any other claymore we've ever had" Dae replied.
Rimuto contemplated it for a few seconds before he let out a sigh. "Very well. I'll allow you to do the operation but... who's flesh and blood will you be using?"
Dae's smirk grew even wider and chuckled at his masters perceptiveness of wanting to know which Yoma blood and flesh he wanted to add. "So you knew I didn't want to add regular Yoma parts to his body" Dae chuckled. "Over the years, I have managed to scrape enough of Isley's flesh and blood to preform one transplant. The boy has the best outcome of any other person to stay sane after having abyssal flesh in him. Even If it does fail, I'll be able to examine his corpse and then study him."
"Very well. If this 'energy' can heal the boy and keep him from turning into a monster, then give him Isley's flesh and blood. But if your wrong Dae, you won't live to regret it." Rimuto warned.
(in a lab, inside the organization)
Just after Isley's flesh and blood was added, the organization members were watching Naruto keenly. They gaped as they saw Isley's and Naruto's flesh fuse to together on his body, not even leaving a scar behind, unlike any other claymore. They soon watched as Naruto's hair turn into a platinum platinum blond colour and his eyes turn silver. The most thing they were impressed with was Naruto himself. When adding Yoma flesh to human exposed flesh, all of their subjects screamed in pain. Yet Naruto only let out a cry of discomfort. It was summarized to Naruto's healing ability caused the pain was minimal.
"What do you sense in the boys energy number 10?" asked Rimuto to one of his most loyal claymores.
"The strange energy inside him is being quickly converting into Yoki. But its different from ours, more... potent. The original Yoki inside of him seems to be the cause of this. Its very slowly adding itself the boys new Yoki and strengthening it."
"Very well, you may leave us." Rimuto commanded. She just bowed and silently left the room. Rimuto turned to Dae and spoke. "I want you to assign the two claymores who know about the child on a... 'difficult' mission." Dae looked to Rimuto and replied. "What about number 10, do you want her assigned too?"
"No, that will not be necessary. She is too loyal to the organization to think of telling the others of the baby boy. Plus, her abilities make her less expendable. ( I didn't want to mention her name yet because I don't know which time frame I'm gonna choose.)
As everyone started to leave, no one saw the smirk on Rubel's face. "I didn't expect this new development. I guess I'll have to keep an eye out on this boy. Only great or horrible things will come of him."
(15 years later)
A lone person walked silently across a desolate desert, heading towards a town far off in the distance. The person wore a black cloak that seemed to be concealing their figure.
When the person reached the town, all activities suddenly stopped in fear when they saw a lone figure at the town gate.
The figure appeared to be a boy who looked fifteen. He wore a dark blue body suit that showed every inch of his body, showing his slim yet muscular chest and arms. He wore black knee-high metal boots, black arm guards and black shoulder plates with orange flames on them. massive sword on his back. His spiky hair touched his shoulders and was almost covering his eyes. But his eyes are what caught everyone's attention. The boys eyes were completely bright silver and brought fear to the towns people's hearts as they knew what he was.
"Its... Its one of them!" A town's folk said as the men were staring in fear while the women were bringing in their children quickly to their homes from the warrior. As he calmly walked through the crowd that gave him a wide birth. with an bored face, he carried on walking until he found what he wanted.
He suddenly disappeared. A second later, a spray of purple blood could could be seen coming from a man who had been vertically cut in half. The boy could be seen standing behind the corpse while his sword was on his back, as if it hadn't even been drawn.
"There's no point hiding anymore. Come and show yourselves." Just when he said it, four of the villagers suddenly transformed into Yoma causing the civilians to run in fright.
"Come on! He's just one man! We can do this!" The now transformed Yoma called out, desperate to get help from the others after witnessing how easily one of their comrades was cut down in little more than one second. The nervousness in its voice wasn't very convincing however.
The young boy decided to strike first against the Yoma and reached for the blade on his back. All the Yoma's tensed. After a few minutes, one Yoma built up enough courage and charged towards towards him. When it was only a metre away, it screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Looking to the source of the pain, it saw both of its legs had been cleaved off. It suddenly felt a shadow cast over itself, as it looked, the last thing it saw was a boot impact against its skull. A large spray of blood came from underneath the boys foot and spewed in all directions, with pieces of a brain coming with it.
The three remaining Yoma's were getting scared now after witnessing one of their own getting its legs sliced off and head crushed. The three of them knew there was no running away from this person, their only chance would be teamwork. Two of the Yoma charged in desperation at the boy, hoping to double-team him from both directions but were cut to pieces before they could even form an attack.
The last one jumped into the air behind him, trying to use a sneak attack. It proved fruitless however when the boy just outstretched his right arm grabbed it by the neck. With a quick twist of his wrist, there was a laud snap as the Yoma's neck had been broken in half. To make sure it stayed dead, the boy ran his blade in between the Yoma's eyes and quickly then sheathed his sword.
Hours later, one of the organizations members 'Ermita', could be seen walking out of the very same village after collecting the money. "Your a strange one Naruto. When we gave you a name, you rejected it and stated you wanted to be called Naruto, yet you don't know why. You've been our most successful male claymore and yet you are unranked. Not many people know you exist and NO person can ever even find you if you decided to hide. Your more like an assassin more than anything else. Naruto of the steel touch." Thought Ermita, while heading back to the organization.
Authors notes: I've been feeling like writing a Naruto/Claymore crossover for a while now. I've seen too many quit as soon a it was starting to get good. Hope you like it, REVIEW.
