Chapter 0: Summoning

Konohagakure, the Hidden Village of Leaves located in the Land of Fire, is one of the major powers in a world where ninja act as hired mercenaries, law enforcers and even soldiers of war. Guided by its Will of Fire, the belief in which love is the true source of strength which will bring people together and overcome conflict, the village is among the most prosperous and peaceful of the hidden ninja villages. However nothing in the universe is perfect and Konohagakure is no exception to this rule…

An eleven-year old blond boy with sun-tanned skin, cerulean-blue eyes and two pairs of three whisker-like birthmarks on his cheeks was grinning in almost manic glee as he completed his latest masterpiece, a homemade summoning contract seal. Having recently found a discarded book at the ninja academy which taught the basics of seals, including summoning contracts, the boy named Uzumaki Naruto was eager to make one. Not only do all the awesome ninja, including the Legendary Three and the Fourth Hokage, have summoning contracts of their own but Naruto will also be able to get himself a friend. For a boy who had been alone for as long as he could remember, treated as a pariah by almost everyone in the village with only a precious few exceptions, being able to gain a friend alone would convince him to make a summoning contract. Besides, how hard can it be?

Wiping the sweat from his forehead with a bloodied hand, courtesy of using his own blood to make the seal as a replacement of a special kind of ink required to make seals, Naruto grinned at the circular seal he had made on the wall of his small rundown apartment. At the middle of the seal was a single spiral with a thicker centre and a tapering outer end. Rubbing his hands together, Naruto's grin widened as he recalled the information he got from the admittedly outdated book.

"Just write my name on the seal, place my bloody fingerprints onto it and finally add some chakra into it. Easy!" He muttered to himself.

Quickly writing his name beside the seal followed by adding a bloody handprint beside the name, Naruto then took a deep breath and summoned as much chakra as he could, causing a blue glowing aura to radiate from him.

Aiming at the centre of the summoning circle, the boy shouted, "Here, I go, dattebayo!"

Releasing that massive burst of chakra into the seal, Naruto was suddenly thrown back as the seal exploded in a flash of light followed by a thick cloud of acrid smoke. Groaning in pain due to the recent physical abuse his body went through, Naruto's eyes widened in amazement as the smoke cleared to reveal a black scorch mark where the seal used to be and, more importantly, a greenish-grey leathery egg with four petal-like lips on top. Staring at the egg curiously, Naruto approached cautiously with a kunai, a type of throwing knife, in hand as he wondered what kind of animal lays eggs like that.

Suddenly, the eggs' four petal-like lips opened, causing Naruto to flinch as raised his kunai in self-defence. Seeing no further reaction, Naruto lowered his guard and slowly approached the egg, wondering what kind of animal was hatching from it. He got his answer soon enough as a spider-like creature with dark-brown chitin for skin, webbing between its eight clawed legs and a vertebra-like tail with a bladed tip suddenly launched itself from the egg and latched onto his face. Before Naruto could fight it off, he suddenly lost consciousness as he felt something going down his throat…

(Deep within Naruto's soul)

Meanwhile, from within the confines of its prison, a demonic nine-tailed fox known as Kurama, the Kyuubi no Youko, felt a hostile foreign presence.

Growling at the presence beyond the confines of his prison, Kurama spat, "What did that brat do this time?" His eyes widened in shock and even horror as he saw what the foreign presence was doing. Desperate to save itself, the fox was forced to act. "Brat, you owe me for this…!"

(On the following day…)

The first thing Naruto felt was an incredibly sore feeling, especially from the lower right of his ribs. "Feel's like something just broke out of my chest and then put it back together…"

AS he stretched his sore body out his hand bumped into something. The boy's thoughts froze the moment his fingers felt something eerily familiar. Turning his attention towards whatever he was touching, Naruto screamed in terror as he saw the same egg which produced that freaky spider-creature that hugged his face and shoved something foul down his throat. Panicking, Naruto looked around desperately for the creature before calming himself as he saw no trace of it. Suddenly feeling thirsty and hungry, Naruto decided to quench his thirst and hunger before doing anything else for the day.

Greedily gulping a tall glass of water, Naruto gasped in relief as he felt slightly better already. He then proceeded to prepare a kettle to boil some water over his stove to make his favorite dish in the world. As the water in the kettle slowly boiled, Naruto sat upon a chair and pondered what in the world happened to him after that freaky spider-thingy knocked him out. He never considered the possibility that his still-aching ribs may be related to the face-hugging spider, or the fact that his old faded-white shirt now had a hole surrounded by bloody-red ring around it. Then again, the boy was terribly hungry and tired. Nor was he truthfully that intelligent.

Suddenly, Naruto noticed something very odd with his bed. For one thing, he did not remember owning pillows large enough to form that large lump underneath the blanket. As if that was not enough reason for suspicion, a bladed tail, which resembled that of the spider, was poking out from beneath the blanket. Feeling his heart pounding from within his aching ribs, Naruto cautiously approached the creature under his blankets with a practice kunai in hand. After tentatively approaching his bed, holding his breath every time the tail twitched, Naruto grabbed hold onto the blanket and, in a swift motion, pulled it off the bed. Immediately assuming a defensive pose, Nartuto was expecting the creature to attack him, only to be greeted by a sight which mad his jaw drop like a ton of bricks.

Lying on his bed, curled up into a fetal position which practically screamed vulnerability, was a naked girl with blood-red hair, pale skin, a strange exoskeleton covering her forearms, lower legs and along her spine, four ventral vents protruding from her upper back as well as a vertebra-like tail with a bladed tip extending from the base of her spine. Naruto also noted that the girl had a cute feminine face as her brows furrowed in displeasure at the sudden brightness. Moaning slightly, the girl struggled to stay asleep only to finally give up as her eyes fluttered open, revealing black sclera, amber-yellow irises and cat-like pupils.

Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, the girl finally noticed the dumbstruck Naruto, his jaw still opened wide from the shock while his hand was still holding onto his kunai. The girl innocently assumed a sitting position without addressing her nudity and tilted her head as she observed him with a curiously blank expression on her face.

One whole minute of awkward silence passed before Naruto finally regained the required mental acumen to speak, "Uh, hello?" Seeing no reaction from the girl, other than blinking, the boy lowered his guard and asked, "You don't happen to see a freaky face-hugging spider-thingy, did you?"

Suddenly an image of the face-hugging creature appeared in Naruto's mind and, before the boy could react, he saw more images which seemed to explain the lifecycle of the creature. Coming from the leathery egg with the four petals on top, the spider-like creature would then seize a person by the face in order to implant an embryo into their chest cavity. After successfully implanting the embryo, the spider would then naturally expire although there are unique "royal" types which can implant two embryos into two separate hosts before dying. Once implanted, the embryo would grow inside the chest cavity of its host until it becomes large and strong enough to break free thereby killing its host. Once free, the snake-like larva would proceed to consume some food before moulting into an adult, some which are actually queens responsible for both leading the hive and laying more eggs, much like the queens of an ant colony, thus repeating the vicious cycle. However something occurred when the girl, who was supposed to be a queen herself, tried to develop within the boy's chest. A malicious crimson creature, composed of an energy her kind had never encountered before, attempted to destroy her. The crimson energy creature encountered a complication however when the face-hugging spider, still latched onto Naruto, started to strangle him in defence of the still-developing embryo. Realizing that it could not kill her without killing the boy, not that it will simply sit by and let her kill him, the creature decided to make a deal with her. She would be allowed to grow safely inside the boy, in exchange of losing her original form to that of a human as well as not killing the boy. Of course, given her originally alien nature, she would never become fully human which the creature assured her was not an issue as she would be what it called a "bloodline limit" human. Agreeing with the creature, after being shown images of insanely powerful humans which possess deadly abilities her kind had never encountered before, the girl proceeded to take on more human traits that any of her own kind had ever done before. She also made it a point to break out of the boy's chest in the least damaging way possible while the energy creature used its own powers to heal the boy's broken chest. Still in her original larval form, she then devoured both the spider and her sibling embryo, taking care not to get any of their apparently acidic blood onto the boy, before sleeping and moulting into her current semi-human form.

Recovering from the images implanted into his mind, Naruto stared at the girl in wide-eyed horror as she was the "child" of the spider creature that attacked him. What horrified him even more however was the crimson creature she met as Naruto recognized it, the Kyuubi no Youko which attacked his village on the very same day her was born.

"Was… was it inside me…?" He whispered softly. Like any other student of the ninja academy which he attended, the boy had learned that the Fourth Hokage had either slain the beast or had sealed it away forever. To realize that the creature was not only alive but was sealed inside of one's own body was hardly a pleasant revelation.

Shaking in fear and revulsion, the boy pointed his kunai at her as he asked, "A-are you going to kill me now?"

Rather than answer, the girl's thoughts and emotions became known to Naruto as she seemed to ask, "Why?"

Shaking off his bewilderment from somehow understanding her, Naruto accused, "Because you tried to kill me earlier!" While not unfamiliar with death threats or even danger, Naruto never terrifyingly felt so close to getting killed as that previous day.

Once more her thoughts echoed within his mind. "Killing you necessary back then. No longer necessary now."

Normally the girl's words would not reassure anyone but, as her thoughts were sincere and Naruto was optimistically naïve by nature, Naruto chose to believe her for the moment at least.

Lowering his guard, Naruto said, "Alright, but we're meeting Jiji the first thing after I've had breakfast."

Tilting her head, the girl said her first vocal words, "Jiji?"

(Half an hour later)

Sarutobi Hiruzen, the third and current Hokage of Konohagakure, also known as the Professor as well as the God of Ninja, was thunderstruck by the story Naruto had just told him. As one of the few people who care for Naruto's welfare, Hiruzen was understandably upset at the boy's foolhardy attempt at summoning as he could have just as easily made a giant version of what is known as an exploding seal with incredibly good reason. What really shocked him however was the result of that summoning, which almost killed the boy only to end up becoming a girl, no matter how alien she currently appeared. That is not even considering the fact that Naruto mentioned that it was the Kyuubi no Youko that had saved him, even if it had only done so to save itself, at least as far as Hiruzen knew.

After a whole five minutes of shock-induced paralysis, Hiruzen sighed as he massaged his forehead and muttered, "Naruto, is there anything you might have left out?"

Thinking it over for a few moments, Naruto shook his head and said, "That's about it, Jiji." Naruto was pretty sure he told the old man everything as he even told him about his embarrassment of dressing the girl, who seemed completely oblivious to her own nudity, into some clothes as well as her shocking dislike for ramen. As the boy had put it, "She actually dislikes ramen! How much more alien can she get?"

Looking between the boy who was still dressed in the clothes he woken up in earlier that morning and the girl who was currently dressed in the cleanest clothes the boy could give her, clothes which sadly tore due to her dorsal vents and tail, Hiruzen then asked, "I am assuming that the girl will not go about killing the people of this village anytime soon?"

Shaking his head, Naruto said, "She said she won't if she has no reason to." His expression then became apprehensive as he asked, "Say Jiji, why did the fox save me?"

Looking between the boy and the girl, who was responsible for revealing clues of the truth to him, Hiruzen sighed and explained, "Naruto, unlike what we have taught you in the academy, the Fourth Hokage could not slay the Kyuubi no Youko but only seal it away, and even then he could not do so permanently. On the day you were born, the same day the Kyuubi no Youko attacked Konohogakure eleven years ago, the Fourth Hokage sealed it into you in order to save the village. A feat which he did only at the cost of his own life."

Normally the revelation would have been a great shock to the boy but, considering what he had gone through just that day and his ultimately correct suspicions concerning the demon fox, Naruto's reaction was less dramatic than it could have been but he was no less hurt. His heart heavy with grief, the boy softly asked, "Am I… really a demon then?"

Hiruzen was about to speak to the boy when the girl suddenly interrupted him. "No. Crimson One a parasite, like larva-me."

Surprised by her apparent telepathic ability, although it did explain how Naruto was able to get information from her despite the boy mentioning about her near-inability to speak vocally.

Hiruzen took the opportunity to explain further. "While calling the Kyuubi a parasite is not completely wrong, it would be more accurate to call it a prisoner, with you as its living prison."

"So… will it die if I die?" Naruto had been curious why the fox would save him from certain death.

Shaking his head at Naruto's query, Hiruzen said, "While that is certainly a possibility, it would be just be as likely that the Kyuubi would be freed if you died, even if it is delayed by the number of years it requires to fully reform. However, given the circumstance, it seemed that the former outcome was rather likely if your new friend here had killed you as a parasite."

Accepting the old man's explanation, Naruto then asked, "What's going to happen to us now?"

"On the day I realized that you were the Kyuubi's vessel, I made a law forbidding any of the adults from letting either you or the younger generation know about the burden you bear. I also hoped that the village will see you as a hero for bearing that burden, which was also what the fourth had hoped for. Alas, it was not to be, as you of all people should know," Hiruzen said with a sigh.

Naruto nodded in understanding as he knew what his life had been all too well. While never physically abused, at least not a lot anyway, the boy had bore the brunt of every mental and emotional form of abuse the villagers could think of.

"As the nature of your burden is supposed to be one of the village's S-ranked secrets, I would appreciate it if you do not speak of it with just anyone including your peers." Considering the danger of being treated as a social pariah by both the adults and his peers, even Naruto did not need much convincing.

Turning his attention to the girl, Hiruzen said, "As for the girl… I'm honestly at a loss myself. As she is currently a blood-line human rather than her… original species, I cannot very well classify her as your pet."

"Why's is that a bad thing, Jiji?"

"Because I would have to tell of her existence to the council and, knowing them, they will most likely try to take her away from you in order to use her to further their own agenda."

Hiruzen would not have been surprised if Naruto angrily shouted in protest but neither of them expected the girl to suddenly release a powerful yet cold killing aura as she telepathically growled, "I kill bad humans!"

Almost frightened by the girl's uniquely terrible fury which seemed so cold that it actually burned, Hiruzen asked, "Bad humans?"

She responded with another telepathic hiss. "We kill for food, for hosts, to live. Bad humans hurt worse than kill for useless things they call pleasure, money and power. I kill them."

Now understanding the reason of her fury, Hiruzen explained to her, "Which is why we must figure out a way to stop them from hurting you."

The girl's subtly furious expression changed into that of confusion as she asked, "Why no kill them?"

"Because that it not how we humans run things." Hiruzen's patiently replied.

"… Humans odd…" She responded after a moment.

Incredulous, Naruto asked, "Wait, so it's normal for you to kill your own kind?"

Nodding slightly, the girl explained. "Killing different hive, normal. Bad humans like from different hive."

Seeing the eerie parallels between her specie's mentality to that of humans, however vicious or alien they may be, Hiruzen said, "While I do agree with you that bad people and good people should never mix, human society unfortunately contains both of types of people."

He then continued to think about their dilemma for a minute. Then he had a rather ingenious idea which he quickly voiced. "Tell me, did you take all of your human traits from Naruto?"

Her reply seemed almost wary. "Yes."

"Then is it safe to say that you are his relative of sorts then?"

Realizing what Hiruzen was plotting, Naruto excitedly shouted, "Then you're like my sister, or cousin!"

Smiling, Hiruzen nodded. "While your relationship with Naruto will probably be a distant one, it should be enough for you to be registered as a member of his family which means that the council cannot legally claim you as theirs. Do you accept the offer?"

She seemed to take several moments to think before answering. "… Yes."

Pleased, Hiruzen then said, "Good. Now, what do we call you, hmmm… How about Uzumaki Hoyuki?"

Tilting her head, the girl curiously asked, "Hoyuki?" She understood the Uzumaki portion of her name as it was the same as that of Naruto's own full name.

"It means fire and snow, flaming snow. I say this because of your pale skin and fiery hair."

Pondering over her name for a moment, the girl then nodded and said, "Yes."

(Scene Change)

True to Hiruzen's suspicions, once the council overcame their shock of Naruto actually being able to summon something which must have originated from beyond their world or even their universe, not to mention the fact that the boy now knows of his burden, they quickly demanded for the girl to be handed over to them like she was a prized possession they had lost and just found.

Hiruzen almost sighed at the predictability of some of the council members as the civilians demanded the girl to be handed over to Uchiha Sasuke, the last member of the famous Uchiha clan, to be his. Danzo, a man who believes that true peace will only come to Konoha once it conquers all of the Elemental Nations as a single empire regardless of the costs, demanded the girl to be handed over to him to be trained as an "elite ninja". The Third Hokage secretly smirked behind a cool facade as he explained that the girl is officially Naruto's sister due to the circumstances of her metamorphosis and that the boy happily took her in despite the fact that she almost killed him during her parasitic larval stage. The expressions on their faces as well as the "whiny bitching" (as he liked to call it) they made only added to his sense of deep satisfaction.

'And I haven't even showed them her picture yet…' Hiruzen thought as he remembered why her face looked so familiar despite the decidedly alien coloration of her eyes and pale skin. He could only imagine the noise the council will make when they see her facial resemblance to the late Fourth Hokage, not to mention his wife…

(Three months later…)

Umino Iruka, a young man with brown hair tied into a spiky ponytail and a scar running across his nose, was busy calling out the names of the students in attendance for the first day of the new school year when he noticed something was rather odd about that day. It took him a few moments to realize why.

"Where's Naruto?" While the boy was undisputedly a troublemaker who would skip boring classes, he would never deliberately skip school, unless of course he was committing one of his grand pranks. Like the time he somehow got a team of genin, the lowest-ranked ninja, to be covered from head to toe in chicken feathers.

Looking around, the students had no idea either. Iruka shook his head and decided to look for the boy later. The chunin was about to start class when the ceiling above the classroom suddenly rattled loudly as though something was in a hurry within it. Alarmed, Iruka quickly drew out his kunai to defend himself and his students when suddenly a ceiling panel vanished and two figures dropped through the gap. His eyes widened in shock as he recognized one of them.

The red-haired girl, who was clothed in tattered rags and whom Iruka had never seen before, was easily the strangest person he had ever seen. Black sclera, amber-yellow irises and cat-like pupils, the girl's eyes alone were alien in its strangeness. The four black dorsal vents protruding from her upper back, strange black chitin for skin on her forearms, lower legs and along her spine and a vertebrae-like tail with a bladed tip just made her even stranger in appearance. She also gave off a strange vibe which practically screamed "alien".

The boy on the other hand Iruka could easily recognize. Sun-blond hair, tanned skin, cerulean-blue eyes and two pairs of three whisker-like birthmarks on his cheeks, the boy was none other than Naruto. What shocked Iruka was the boy's current state of dress as he was in similar rags as the girl. As far as Iruka knew, the boy never wore these kinds of clothes before and even that bright-orange jacket of his was more presentable no matter how ridiculous some found it.

Not aware or caring of Iruka's shock, Naruto cheerfully said, "Yo!"
