Uzumaki Kashi

Chapter 1: Prologue

It was a beautiful day in the country side of Japan, as we find our hero currently coming back home from a jog around the neighbourhood wearing a pair of burnt orange shorts ,a matching burnt orange long-sleeved shirt and had bandages that covered everything between his hands all the way up to his elbow. His normally long spiky blonde hair was a little matted down to his head from the sweat that caked it, cerulean blue eyes that, despite being covered in sweat, showed a look of boredom and indifference and on his face 3 whisker mark birth marks adorned each cheek on his face.

"Okaa-san I'm back!" Yelled one, Naruto Uzumaki as he entered through the front entrance of his family's dagashi shop, 'Uzumaki Dagashi'. It had the appearance of a small two story building with the front of the house being used as a store and a sign reading 'Uzumaki Dagashi'. I also forgot to mention that it was also his home. Shelves lined with candy and other sweets were placed on either side of the room and a small table sat in the center near the back of the room, acting as a counter. To the left of the counter (From the perspective of Naruto) was a sliding door which lead to the kitchen/hall, which then lead to the living room, which then leads to both his mothers, and his room, as well as a guest room.

"Naruto, can you come to the living room please. We need to talk," Yelled back a voice from the living room. The living room door is pretty close to the door which leads to the shop which meant that he could hear his mother's voice quite well through the thin walls. Naruto sighed, having a hunch as to what it was she wanted to talk about, before replying with a drawled out, "Hai..." as he took off his shoes and headed towards the living room where his mother currently resided.

Upon entering the living room he saw his mother sitting with her legs under her on a pillow in front of a table. On top of it was the TV remote, a cup of tea, and a tea pot. His mother had long red haired that cascaded down her back and pooled around her. Piercing amethyst coloured eyes and currently wore a look that could probably cause even the hottest volcano to freeze over. She was currently wearing a white dress with a green apron over it and yellow slippers. Her hair was parted to the left and was held there by a single black clip. Naruto's mother was the one and only, 'Red Hot Habanero'. She who was said to be able to eat even the most spiciest and sourest sweets and not even flinch.

"Please sit down," She said before grabbing the remote and turning on the TV. On the TV was a recording of Naruto training in a field. Punching and kicking that air whilst doing other things such as jogging around the area, sit ups and push ups.

"It has come to my attention that you have been training very hard to become an MMA fighter. All I have to say is..." There was a slight pause, but Naruto's face hadn't even changed from the look of boredom and indifference on his face, "LOOK AT THIS STANCE IT'S SO SLOPPY AND HAS SO MANY HOLES IN IT AND YOUR ATTACKS ARE ABOUT AS SLOW AS A TURTLE ON A NICE LEISURELY WALK ON THE BEACH!"

He didn't even looked phased and ended cleaning his ears with his pinky before asking, "Is that about it?" and getting up to leave.

However he did not notice the looming shadow of his mother before being pounced and put into a headlock.

"Is that how you treat your mother, young man?!" Kushina asked/yelled as she started to choke out her son. Suddenly Naruto got up and reversed the position.

"What are you doing! I had barely came home and we're already fighting!" Naruto yelled back. She pushed him off her before they got up and began circling each other.

"It's time for you to inherit 'Uzumaki Dagashi'!" Kushina argued.

"No! I don't want to become a dagashi salesman, I want to become an MMA fighter!" Her son argued back before they locked hands and began a struggle for power.

"You need to face reality and understand that you can't always get what you want! Stop trying to immerse your self in your own desires and instead become the ninth successor of our family business!"

Naruto then proceeded to judo-flip her onto the floor and putting her into an arm-lock. "My future isn't for you to decide. I want to become an MMA fighter!" He then let her go before standing up and pinched the bridge of his nose as an annoyed look adorned his normally indifferent expression, "And besides, stop trying to make it sound cool by adding 'successor' to it when our quote, unquote 'family business' is a small dagashi shop that sells sweets in a small remote town!"

Kushina suddenly got depressed and went to a random corner of the room and began poking the ground with a stick as a depressing aura surrounded her.

"Also, I think you should be the one that needs to face reality. For starters, where you place the dagashi. It's in jars on the lower shelves and since most of our customers are little kids they can't even reach it. Second of all, if you want to increase profits, you should start selling dagashi with popular characters too since even though they may be expensive, are quite popular and will sell more". Finished Naruto.

Kushina suddenly lost her depressed aura and suddenly became excited and exclaiming, "See I knew you were fit for the job Naruto! You're practically a degashi genius considering how well you could point out my mistakes and how to increase profits!"

She then proceeded to stand up and began heading for the door, "Therefore I leave this store in your hands! Good luck buddy!"

"Oi! Matte!" Naruto tried to get his mother to stop but was too slow and she ended up bolting outside the store to god knows wherever.

Luckily I am technically God so I'll tell you. She ran to the back of the house.

A smile adorned her face as she spied on her son through the window, "He seems to be acting a lot better even after what had happened..." She quickly lost that smile as she bit her lower lip and looked down at the ground before thinking one word, 'Minato...'.

~Flashback Start~

A young Naruto Uzumaki was currently in the local bank with his parents as they waited for their turn to withdraw some money.

"Okaa-chan, Tou-chan," Naruto looked up at his parents with an impatient look, "How long will we have to wait?"

His father, Minato, who Naruto basically looked a carbon copy like, minus he whisker marks, let out a small chuckle before looking down at him with a smile and replied, "Hopefully not too long Naruto".

Suddenly a man dressed in all black and a ski mask on walked in and barged his way to the front counter. He put out a bag and began mumbling some words as people began telling him to go to the back of the line. The lady at the front asked for him to talk louder when all of a sudden he snapped around and fire his gun randomly, whilst yelling, "This is a robbery everyone on the floor now and put all your valuables in this bag!"

He did not notice that his shot had actually hit Naruto's father, and neither did anyone until he hit the ground with a loud THUD. The man looked shocked not thinking that his gun would actually kill someone. "FUCK!" The man yelled as he got even more deranged and crazy. Yelling out random curses whilst telling the lady to put the money in the bag and she did after seeing what had happened.

The deranged man then suddenly got even more crazy as he aimed his gun towards someone else and that's when Naruto snapped. In blinding speed he bit off the man's ear before grabbing his gun and shooting him in the head. A cold look adorned Naruto's face when all of a sudden he dropped the gun and dropped to ground as well, gripping his head whilst muttering things that no one could hear. They all felt both sorry and scared for him as Kushina suddenly ran to her son's embrace and held him tight whilst yelling for someone to call an ambulance or the police.

Tears streamed down both their faces at the lost of both their husband/father and her son's first kill, accidental or not.

~Flashback End~

'I don't think he'll ever forget that day,' Kushina thought as she silently cried to herself.

Back with Naruto he just got out of his room, after taking a shower and getting dressed in a bright orange high collar hoodie, with black stripes going down his the middle of his shoulders and down along side the zipper on both sides. The sleeves were rolled up to the elbows exposing the bandages on his arms. Underneath he wore a plain white t-shirt and black jeans. On his feet were black and orange sneakers. He started heading towards the front of the house where the shop was located when, suddenly,

"Hello, is anyone there? I'm coming in, please pardon the intrusion."

A voice called out from the front of the house and Naruto just sighed before replying with a, "Hai! I'm coming!"

Once he got to the front of the shop he was shocked to see who was there. A young lady, around his age stood at the door. Light purple hair and pale blue eyes adorned and framed a heart shaped face. She wore a frilly black and white dress and red bow that around her neck. Black leggings covered her legs and black shoes covered her feet.

They both stared in shock.

"Hotaru Shidare-chan?!/Naruto Uzumaki-kun?!"
