Naruto Namikaze: Dark Kitsune
Welcome to my new story starring Naruto with a calmer and somewhat darker persona along with a few extra surprises. I will be posting the one of the first five chapters each day all the way till this Friday. Well enough time wasting lets get on with the story, so here goes chapter 1!
Disclaimer: I Don't own Naruto. I do own this story "Naruto Namikaze: Dark Kitsune"
Chapter 1: Return
"So I finally made it to Konohagakure." A young girl said with an exhausted smile. She shot forward through the giant gates, and headed straight for the center of the village.
"It would seem the village is about to get loud again." Kotetsu said with a sigh.
"Um… Kotetsu I don't think that was who you thought it was." Izumo said as watched the youngster speed off.
"Well how many orange jumpsuit wearing blondes do we know?" Kotetsu asked with a bored expression.
"Guess you're right but…" Izumo said before giving up on the useless debate.
Back with the blond child, she was standing atop a pole with her eyes closed. She suddenly snapped her amethyst colored eyed open, and smiled brightly.
"Heehee it looks like I beat the old man here" She said with a small laugh.
She spotted a park not far from her and decided she'd do some sight seeing. It didn't take her long to reach the beautiful playground surrounded by tall oak trees. As soon as she stepped into the play area she was surrounded by four children. Two girls and two boys glared at her.
"Who are you? We've never seen you around here before." Said the pink haired boy with dark green eyes.
"Heya. My name's Mishina." She said happily.
The pink haired boy's glare turned left his face and was replaced with a look of indifference. "My name is Futachi Uchiha and that's my little sister Sasukura Uchiha." Futachi told as he pointed to the raven haired pigtailed girl on Mishina's left.
"I'm Shikamari Nara." Said the dark blond pineapple headed girl behind Mishina.
"My name is Teji Hyuga." The long haired brunette boy on her right said with pride.
"So judging by your names I'm guessing you guys are from the main clans of the village." Mishina said as she folded her hands behind her head.
"That's right! Me and big brother are from the elite Uchiha clan! That means you should us more respect than what you've shown." Sasukura said arrogantly.
"Like hell." Mishina scoffed.
"Uh-oh this is about to become way too troublesome." Shikamari said with sigh while Teji stood beside her and nodded.
"Who do you think you are? You're a guest in our village so you should watch what you say to us. Especially since both our parents are high ranking shinobi as well as council members." Futachi said as his eyes hardened.
"Tch like I give a damn. You clan status means absolutely nothing to me." Mishina said before turning to walk away. She only took three steps before she ducked under a deadly roundhouse aimed for her head.
Mishina stood up and glared at the back of the young Uchiha heir. He turned slightly to reveal his one tomoe sharingan. She smiled as she gazed into his spinning eyes while he confidently smirked. Mishina's eyes flashed purple for a second which caused Futachi's smirk to falter. That was all the time Mishina needed to send a devastating elbow into the young Uchiha's face.
"BIG BROTHER!" Sasukura screeched as her brother fell backwards clutching his bloody broken nose.
"Oh we're never gonna hear the end of this." Teji said making Shikamari sigh once more.
By the time Futachi's blurry vision cleared Mishina was half way to her destination. Things were only getting started and soon Konoha would be turned upside down.
~ [Elsewhere] ~
Mishina stood in front of nice sized two story building. She looked up at the name in awe and a bit a drool escaping her mouth.
"Wow so this is Ichiraku's huh?" Mishina wondered before smiling widely and entered the restaurant.
~ [Inside] ~
At one of the many tables and booths six kunoichi were having lunch.
"I so can't wait till today shift is over." Ino Yamanaka droned.
"It's not that bad Ino, and if you spent more time working than flirting you wouldn't be so bored." Hinata Hyuga lectured before taking a bite of her dango.
"Try teaching a classroom full of hyperactive brats." Said Temari Nara as she massaged her temples then sighed.
"Well maybe it's good we're getting a new generation of hyperactive knuckleheads." Karin said with a faraway look as she ate her gelato.
"We'll I just know my little Futachi will be rookie of the year." Sakura Uchiha said with a proud smile.
While the six kunoichi carried on with their lunchtime chatter, three other familiar ninja of Konoha sat at the counter waiting for their meals.
"That little arrogant prick is so much like Sasuke it's pathetic." Grumbled one Konohamaru Sarutobi while he toyed with his chopsticks.
"Well Kono-kun there isn't much you can do about it." Moegi told as she tried to distract him from their current topic.
"If was boss was still here… maybe thing would be different. Someone would be able to put those Uchiha in their place." Udon said quietly just before Ayame sat there orders down in front of them.
"Now come on guys you can't let the Uchiha Clan rain on your parade." Old man Teuchi said with a warm smile.
"That's right now eat up you three so you can get back to your training." Ayame said in a motherly tone.
After finishing up with the Konohamaru Corps. Ayame moved over to her next customer with her notepad. "What can I get you today?" Ayame asked while looking down at her pad.
"I want ten bowls of miso ramen and another ten bowls of the… Uzumaki Bowl." Mishina said with a fox-like grin.
When they heard the order five pairs of eyes snapped toward the young girl.
"W-What?" She questioned as she nervously hid behind the high collar of a familiar orange jumpsuit.
"O-Oh nothing… I'll have your order right up." Ayame said with a pained smile.
"Thanks Onee-chan!" Mishina said cheerfully. Unknown to the youngster tears began to form in Ayame's eyes.
"Hey are you sure you can handle all that ramen kid?" Konohamaru asked from his stool two seats down from her.
"It'll be easier than when I beat that pink haired Uchiha earlier. Believe it!" Mishina shouted which made the restaurant quiet down.
"You don't mean Sakura Uchiha do you?" Udon asked.
"Nah his name was Fuichi or something." Mishina said with a shrug.
"Do you mean Futachi Uchiha?" A new voice corrected.
"Uh-oh mommy's a bit pissed off." Moegi said nervously.
"What's wrong Sakura? Are you upset someone finally put that little bastard in his place?" Konohamaru asked smartly.
"Hey whoa wait a minute. I didn't put anyone in anyone's place. He attacked me when I turned away so I broke his nose." Mishina explained which made Konohamaru burst out laughing.
"SHUT THE HELL UP KONOHAMARU!" Sakura screamed at the young man.
"Oi you must be their mother. Cuz you scream just like the little dark haired Uchiha Clan cheerleader." Mishina said as she rubbed her ringing ears. Her comment only made Konohamaru laugh harder.
"Do you think we should stop this before Sakura-san kills Konohamaru-kun?" Hinata asked before taking a bite of her cinnamon bun.
"No way this is getting interesting." Ino said with a mischievous grin.
"Either way we all know this won't end well." Temari sighed.
While Sakura shook Konohamaru violently Mishina had started on her third bowl of miso ramen bowl. Minutes later a new voice caught their attention.
"Sakura? What's going on?" Asked Anbu Captain Sasuke Uchiha.
"It seems your son got into a fight today… and lost." Sakura said with a scowl.
"To who?" Sasuke asked slightly shocked.
"That little girl." Konohamaru snickered while pointing to Mishina who was on her fifth miso bowl.
Sasuke's eyes widened slightly for second before they narrowed. He walked over to the mini clone of his old teammate and turn the stool so she was facing him.
"Who are you? I've memorized every citizen and shinobi in this village, and you are an entirely new face altogether. Even your chakra signature is unfamiliar so start talking." Sasuke ordered.
"Well first of all that was just rude, secondly I don't have to answer you teme, so I'll tell you just like I told your stuck up children. I don't give a damn about your name or your status, now go away so I can finish this delicious meal." With that she swirled around on her stool and resumed devouring her noodles. Her actions left the clan head seething and Konohamaru was on the floor cracking up. Sasuke refuse to be made a fool of and put his hand on Mishina's shoulder and before he could say anything time seem to freeze. Mishina's eyes widened and seconds later tears began to pour from light pink eyes. Time resumed and as Sasuke spoke Mishina jerked out of his grip and flipped over the counter. Konohamaru stopped laughing and switched to shinobi mode, Ino and the rest of the girls stood up, and even Sasuke was a little thrown off.
Ayame noticed the young girl had a terrified expression as she stared wide eyed at the Uchiha couple.
"Sasuke what did you do!" Ino asked alarmed.
"Nothing I just touched her… although I did feel a slight tingle when we touched." Sasuke explained as he stared at his hand then back at Mishina. Ayame was now holding the shivering little girl and whispered something in her ear to calm her.
"Told ya this was gonna end badly." Temari said with a shake of her head.
Being a medic Sakura moved to check on Mishina only for her jump away out of Ayame's arms and land on table a few feet away. "Don't touch me!" Mishina screamed.
"What the hell?" Karin questioned as she watched the young girl's chakra slowly swell.
"You're an evil witch! He loved you to death! He would've done anything for you! He'd done everything for you! But you betrayed him all so you can be with that evil prick!" Mishina ranted which confused everyone except Sakura and Sasuke who's eyes had widened. "You even… had an abor-" Mishina was silenced by Sakura's fist, but to her surprise the youngster went up in smoke. away.
"A shadow clone." Sasuke analyzed with narrow eyes.
"Sakura what wrong with you! She's just a child!" Karin yelled.
"Sakura… we've been friends for years be honest with me. Did you… ever have an abortion?" Ino asked sadly.
"That's none of your business Ino." Sakura said quietly.
"Who was this 'He' she was referring to?" Hinata asked.
It was then two Mishina's appeared behind Sasuke, but the anbu captain destroyed the clone then threw the Mishina out of the window; and into the building across from Ichiraku's.
"Don't you think that was a bit extensive Uchiha-san" Konohamaru said with a glare.
"No. She is a potential threat to the village, not only does she have knowledge privy to inhabitants of Konoha, but jutsu as well." Sasuke said as he stared at the hole with his sharingan blazing.
"Is that how you're gonna report it?" Konohamaru growled out. Before Sasuke could reply a surge of chakra caught everyone's attention.
~ [Not Far From Konoha] ~
"Mishina? I guess she made it before me after all. Why the fuck didn't she use the fucking kunai! I better hurry." With that final thought the worried man took off towards Konohagakure.
~ [Back At Ichiraku's] ~
"What the fuck is going on?": Konohamaru voice as Mishina stepped out of the hole. Light purple chakra flared from her body, her hair which was done in a bun came undone and spiked out a bit, small claws lengthened from her small fingertips and toes, and Small fangs could also be seen poking from her lips.
Sasuke stepped out into the street then drew his wakizashi, and his sharingan began to spin. Mishina opened her eyelids to reveal purple irises, with black slits for pupils, and black sclera. The chakra bubbled and took the form of a one tailed fox around her small frame. Sasuke's eyes narrowed some more before he channeled lightning chakra through his blade.
"Sasuke! That girl is putting out bijuu level chakra!" Karin yelled.
Mishina smirked at the Uchiha clan head and began pushing her chakra output higher. She her chakra surged so high it ripped away her orange jumpsuit jacket. The little girl wore a short sleeve fishnet undershirt with a white sleeveless gi. What caught everyone's eye were the three whisker-like marks on each cheek. After a second chakra tail formed she charged at the raven haired man. The two tail child flicked behind Sasuke and took a swipe at his back with her claws. He blocked the attack but found that his chest was damn near torn open. He shifted his gaze in front of him to see a another Mishina smiling at him with his blood on her claws.
"What? Did she cast a genjutsu on him?" Sakura whispered.
"No it's a shadow clone." Konohamaru said quietly as they watched Mishina crouched down on all fours ready to pounce.
"That can't be possible. Whenever Naruto used his tailed forms he was unable to create shadow clones." Sakura replied with a scowl.
"That was because of the fox's chakra potency… but whoever said that girl possessed a bijuu?" Karin countered.
They were brought back to the battle when Mishina charged again. However this time things were not the same.
"Mishina Namikaze! Stop where you are!" Echoed a voice. The little girl froze instantly as did everyone else who heard her name. Her transformation instantly vanished, she then turned to look into the hole Sasuke threw her into.
Sasuke did the same and he met a pair of glowing crimson eyes with black slits. In an act of dominance Sasuke activated his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. The other pair of eyes changed as well, black sclera and black cross slit pupil with crimson iris now stared back at Sasuke. Suddenly Sasuke didn't feel like top dog. The steely unwavering demonic gaze sent shivers down his spine. A cold sweat covered his forehead while his body started shaking uncontrollably. To everyone's surprise Sasuke's Sharingan faded and his eyes were back to their normal onyx color.
"Mishina… what have I told you about revealing your kekkei genkai?" The voice asked as the rest of the shinobi filed out the upgraded ramen bar, followed by the ramen making owners.
"You said never to use it unless it was completely necessary." Mishina responded while she looked at the ground.
"And was it necessary?" The voice asked.
"Maybe…" Came Mishina's timid voice.
"Speak up!" Yelled the voice which made everyone who heard jump.
"I saw his memories when he grabbed my shoulder… I saw all the pain he caused you daddy! Then when she attacked me I switched with a shadow clone!" Mishina explained loudly to her father. Unfortunately the moment she mention she was attacked the air became a bit warmer.
"Who attacked you?" The voice growled.
"T-The lady named Sakura Uchiha…" Mishina mumbled but this time dad heard her. Those demonic orbs shifted to Sakura and unbridled fear entered the pink haired medic. "How long's it been Sakura? Five? Going on six years no?" The voice asked.
As the wind blew and Sakura blinked she found herself staring into hardened cerulean blue eyes. "N-N-Naruto?" Sakura stuttered.
Instantly those ocean colored eyes changed to burning crimson, and Sakura's own emerald green eyes widened. Everyone too shocked to move including the esteemed anbu captain. His claws flexed, his lips revealed his fangs, and his wild spiky blond hair danced in the spring wind. A small growl escaped the Jinchuriki's throat. He raised his left clawed hand over Sakura's heart.
"Daddy stop!" Mishina shouted as she threw her small arms around her father's waist.
Ino and Karin were the first to snap back to reality. The very instantly in front on their friend. Karin was trying to lower Naruto's arm but to no avail. Ino was trying to draw his attention to her and off of Sakura. Being in the interrogation department, Ino could see the pain in Naruto's frenzied eyes. She then remembered something and began slowly stroking his thickened whisker marks. He leaned into her touch for a second before he returned to his senses.
"Ino-chan… Karin-chan… It's nice to see you guys again." Naruto said with a small smile.
"BOSS!" Yelled the Konohamaru Corps before wrapping Naruto with a group hug.
"Hey you guys have grown." Naruto said laughing a bit. "It's nice to see guys to old man… Ayame-neechan." Naruto greeted before they two joined in the group hug.
"Well the Konohamaru Corps aren't the only ones who's grown." Temari said with a raised brow.
Naruto looked to be around 6'2" now, his lean chiseled body was dressed with a long sleeve mesh undershirt, a sleeveless white gi, dark red bracers covered his forearms, black leather pants with a white fox curled around the left leg, black shin length boots covered his feet, a diamond stud in his left ear as well and a silver chain around his neck, and finally a red leather overcoat with a white nine-tailed fox embroidered on the back.
"Careful Temari we don't want Shikamaru getting angry." Naruto said with a smile while point to the top of a building behind him.
Temari looked to see six anbu and a dog, Temari laughed nervously and wave timidly. "Hey wait how did you know Shika and I got married!" Temari asked shocked.
"I didn't but now I do." Naruto told her with a smile.
Naruto and Hinata's gaze met and she only look away trying to keep her tears from showing. Mishina who read through Sakura's memories when she touched her shadow clone; already knew about the tension between them. Then she looked at Sakura with a look that could kill. Naruto looked away as well with sadness clouding his eyes.
Well guys it's been great catching up with you all, but I have to go see Hokage-baachan." Naruto told them then turned to leave after picking his daughter up. He stopped then turned slightly to look at his two teammates. "Oh and Sakura… Sasuke… if either of you ever, and I mean ever lay even a fingernail on daughter again… I'll kill you." He finished in a deep demonic edged tone with one demon eye glared at the two. He then walked away, each step he became more transparent until they were completely gone.
"Wait! Did he say Hokage-baachan?" Karin asked with wide eyes.
"Uh-oh?" Ino said nervously.
In a swirl of leaves the six anbu plus one dog appeared in front of them. "And why exactly did you idiots take so long to appear?" Sasuke growled at his team.
"First off whether you believe us or not, we saved you and your wife's sorry asses." Said the dog masked anbu.
"If you were less concerned with who bested your son in battle you felt Naruto when he arrived." The beetle masked anbu commented.
"Naruto got here the second his daughter crash into the building." Said the butterfly anbu.
Everyone's eyes were now open a bit as realization set in. Its was Mishina exuding bijuu level chakra… It was her father.
"He softened her impact with a wall of air." Came the deer masked anbu who looking directly at Temari.
"The girl was so enraged she herself didn't even seem to notice." Said the sparrow masked anbu member.
"Who cares about all that! What was 'Ino-chan' and 'Karin-chan' bullshit!" Sakura yelled while trying her best to stare holes through the two young women.
"That's none of your business… Uchiha-san." Ino said coldly before she and Karin walked off.
"Things are about to get loud around here again." Udon said with a smile.
"Hey we've had five years and a half of quiet time, so no complaining." Konohamaru said with a toothy grin.
~ [Hokage's Tower] ~
Naruto appeared inside of the office he would dream of sitting in himself one day.
"Well lookie what we have here." The Hokage said cheerfully.
"You're the last one I'd expected to see behind that desk… Kakashi-sensei." Naruto said with a grin.
"And I never thought I'd ever see my beloved student ever again. But there's a reason why you're the number one unpredictable ninja." Kakashi said with an eye smile.
"Very funny sensei. What made a Tsunade-baachan give up the throne?" Naruto asked as he reclined backwards in midair. Mishina had fallen asleep and cuddled closer into her father's coat.
"It would seem someone has come far with their mastery of the wind element." Kakashi said happily. The doors to the office and small boy came sprinting in.
"Hokage-tousan!" Cheered the young boy.
"Rinto! Where's mommy?" Kakashi asked. Moments later his question was answer.
"Rinto honey how many times have I told you not to barge into daddy's office?" Asked a familiar voice.
"It's not like we're talking about anything important Shizune-neechan." Naruto chirped with a smile.
Shizune looked at Naruto with wide eyes then to Kakashi, who in turn shook his head no. Shizune hugged her surrogate younger brother tightly then whispered 'stay calm'. The brunette went to retrieve her son who had manage to avoid her and jump into Naruto's lap.
"Hi." Rinto said in a childlike manner.
The boy was a spitting image of Kakashi, except you could see his face and both eyes, even his short silver hair defied gravity like his father's.
"Hey there kiddo. So your name's Rinto is it?" Naruto asked.
"Uh-huh and you Nato-niichan." Rinto stated excitedly then looked at the sleeping Mishina.
"This is my daughter Mishina Namikaze she's five and a half years old." Naruto told the toddler which shocked Shizune a bit.
"She looks like Piggy-neechan." Rinto said happily before moving a strand of hair from her face. Naruto inwardly laughed an what was meant to be Ino's name.
"How old are you Rinto?" Naruto asked
"Two… um Nato-niichan… you strong right?" Rinto asked.
"That depends on many things… but your dad is way stronger than me." Naruto said reassuringly.
"No… you're much stronger than daddy hokage. I feel it…" Rinto said seriously gaining strange look from the blond young man. "Please save Tsunade-baachan…" Rinto said with teary eyes.
"What?" Naruto's gaze shot up towards the two adults. Shizune scooped up her son and ran out of the office holding her sobs back.
Kakashi kept his gaze down on his desk to avoid his student's furious eyes.
"Where the hell is she Kakashi?" Naruto questioned making the Rokudaime Hokage flinch.
"*sighs* Two years after you up and left without a word… Lady Tsunade went out to look for you. She said she would not lose another one to this twisted world… She'd check in every week for six months then the reports… just stopped… she's been gone for a little over three years. Most have given up… but the one's who haven't think she may be held somewhere…" Kakashi finished not once did he look at his student, but he could feel the fury rolling off him. The room had gotten noticeably warmer, the sharingan warrior even began to sweat a bit.
"Kakashi-sensei… I'll see you tomorrow… I'll be in my parents estate." Naruto said.
His one eyed sensei didn't say anything, they knew five years ago that when everything Naruto's parents left him disappeared that it was with him; including the manor.
~ [Namikaze Estate] ~
Upon reaching the gates to his and Mishina's home, Naruto found two familiar faces waiting for him.
"Ino-chan… Karin-chan? What are you two doing here?" Naruto asked bewildered at the presence of the two.
"We was wondering if you'd show us what you've done with the place in the last five years." Ino chirped happily.
Naruto only nodded then undid the blood seal on the gates. The blond and red head followed him into the manor where they waited in the living room. He returned from putting Mishina in her bed then sat down between them with a heavy sigh.
"How can she sleep like a brick at four in the afternoon?" Karin asked as laid on his right shoulder.
"She most likely ran all the way here non-stop from our previous location." Naruto said blankly.
A awkward silence covered them for almost an hour before Naruto spoke again.
"Tsunade-baachan…" Naruto choked as tears finally escaped his eyes. "Its all my fault… because I was running from Sakura and Sasuke!" Naruto strained out trying not to yell and wake Mishina.
"No! It's not your fault! It's theirs for pushing you to it. It was Sakura who had been sleeping with Sasuke behind your back. You were the perfect fiancé… everyone woman was jealous of her… including us." Ino admitted timidly.
"Naruto… did you know she had an…" Karin couldn't even finish her question. It made her sick just thinking about it.
"That she had an abortion? Yeah I knew… at the time I was in denial… I didn't wanna believe it… I even went so far as to think I imagined it." Naruto admitted in a broken voice.
"What! You knew!" Ino asked shocked beyond belief.
"Do you honestly think with sage mode under my belt I wouldn't sense another new life growing inside my own fiancée?" Naruto asked as he stared blankly forward out the window at the Hokage Monument.
"You still stayed with her even thought you knew? Why?" Karin asked sadly.
"It was her body… I didn't think… that I could tell her… to carry my child for nine months. But now… I realized I could've save him or her. I was so blinded by my love for her that I failed my first child." Naruto said before more tears poured from his dead blue eyes. "She took him. She took him from me." Naruto sobbed into Ino's shoulder.
For the first time in half a decade, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze came to terms with the death of his unborn son. He cried for two hours, finally releasing five years worth of anguish.
"You knew it would be a boy thanks to sage mode?" Karin asked as she held him while Ino was off getting them drinks.
"It's not all your fault Naruto-kun… half of the blame falls onto Sakura as well." Karin whispered only for him to nod.
Ino then returned with two bottles of aged wine and three glasses. The three friends drunk themselves to sleep as the sunset on Konohagakure. Mishina had woken at some point and came down stairs to find the three passed out on the dark red shag rug. She grabbed a large quilt and draped it over them, then climbed in and settled atop her father's chest. Moments later her eyes snapped open after Karin and Ino, both put their arm over her as well as Naruto. Mishina saw both of there memories and smiled.
"Don't worry daddy I plan on avenging my brother…" Mishina thought before joining the drunken adults in slumber land.
What did you guys think? This was the first time I exceeded 10 pages, and just let my story flow instead of limiting it. For some reason I felt it was good to stop here though. Don't worry you guys will get some answers next chapter. This will be a Naru x Ino x Kari fanfic. So leave me some good reviews.
