INARI BLESSED

CHAPTER 1

Michiko Masaru was a man without any aims.

He was an A class ninja, a seal master, one of Iwa's top nin. When he became a ninja it was to protect his village. Then his priorities changed with the arrival of his beautiful wife Kasumi. He loved her more than anything. She meant the world to him and that world was shattered by the one and only Minato Namikaze, the hailed yellow flash of Konoha.

She died along with his brother Masako, at the hands of the Namikaze.

He understands why the man did it. It was a war and he had to fight for his village. Masaru would've done the same in his place, but he couldn't help but resent the man. When the news of the man's death reached him, he unlike the rest of Iwa, didn't feel gleeful. Instead he felt oddly insignificant. His will to live had vanished; he wanted to kill Namikaze himself. He wanted to see Konoha fall because of himself. He couldn't live like this anymore, so he left Iwa and became a missing nin.

On the run, he visited many places fought many battles killed every Konoha nin he could but it wasn't enough. He was in Suna, when he met the young jinchuuriki Gaara of the desert, a thought snuck up on his brain and he couldn't believe that he never thought of this before. Minato Namikaze was a great man but he was still a man, there is no way, no matter how strong he had been, he could kill a bijuu, much less the lord of all bijuus himself. That meant Konoha had a jinchuuriki. He felt an almost over whelming urge to meet the child that Namikaze had chosen as sacrifice.

Sneaking in to Konoha was hard but not impossible especially with his talents in seals. A henge backed by a seal was enough to get him pass.

It wasn't hard to find the kid either, just had to follow the glares. The first time he saw the three year old kid he thought he was imagining things.

That noble hearted Namikaze, using his own son as a sacrifice. And an Uzumaki too. Guess the romantic stories of the yellow flash and the red hot habanero was not entirely wrong.

The boy was the perfect mix of Namikaze and Uzumaki. The golden blond hair and ocean blue eyes were purely Namikaze's. But the boy's personality was much like his cocky and reckless mother who Masaru had the pleasure of meeting a few time in the battle field.

Masaru sneered at the way the civilians treat the young blond. Fools despising the one they should worship.

He needed to take a look at the seal that held the Kyubi at bay, Minato Namikaze's last work. He got the chance he waited for, posing as a doctor during one of Naruto's checkups. One look was all he needed after that he copied the seal into a scroll and studied it. A wonderful piece of work, the eight trigram divination seal powered by the Shinigami, a complex Uzumaki seal, he only recognized it because he had studied Uzumaki seals for a long time. He tried but failed to fully comprehend the seal, such was the complexity of the seal.

A few things were clear though, the seal allowed the fox's chakra to enter the boy in small amounts to increase the boy's immunity to the demon chakra. It was also made to allow large amounts of demon chakra to be called upon at occasions. So Namikaze wanted his son to be a weapon for the village, a village that despised the boy. Namikaze had added fail safes to the seal, though he didn't fully understand how they would stop the bijuu if anything went wrong. There was also the little fact that if Naruto dies Kyubi dies along with him.

That Namikaze had sacrificed everything for Konoha. A brave and noble man.

But now it was time to plan Konoha's destruction. This seal was Namikaze's greatest work and he wanted to destroy it. Konoha would end and by their own hands no less.

It took three more years of careful planning and hard work to complete his self appointed mission. He fooled the Konoha nin for so long, disguising as an old traveler who finally wished to settle down. It was not hard to fool the civilian council into permitting him to stay. He carefully avoided shinobis altogether. By the end of the three long years he had all the data he needed and had finished the special seal he was creating. He had made sure that what he was about to do will not be countered by the boy's seal's fail safes. It took three long years but it was worth it. But even now after three years of attempts he still cannot fully understand the eight trigram seal.

He had learned about the yearly beatings Naruto Uzumaki received on his birthdays, the Kyubi festival and the occasional drunks who would lose sense and attack the boy. The time of the festival was the best day for the attack with the constant crowd and noise drowning out the boy's cries and avoiding detection by the Hokage's anbu. Ever since a particularly nasty incident when the boy had almost been raped by vengeful villagers on his fourth birthday, the Hokage had an entire anbu team guarding the boy on the month of his birthday. That incident was what made Masaru make his final decision. He tolerated many things but child molesters were downright disgusting. The bastards deserved what was coming to them. Since they could no longer attack the boy on the festival, the villagers had started to become more aggressive towards the boy on other occasions as well. But there always was at least one anbu keeping watch of the boy, but even some of the anbu resent the boy. Fools!

The boy was seven years old now and had joined the academy last year, his batch mates were all a year older than him, the boy wanted to join early. The Hokage probably agreed because he wanted the boy out of the civilian council's hands. That won't matter anymore.

He killed the boy's anbu guard and impersonated him. Then he made plans with the leader of the group that held a grudge towards the young boy. He gave them a place and time for attack and also told them that he can prevent the demon's chakra from healing the boy.

He laid carefully made seals around the area of the incident, so that his plan will not be interrupted. It was a place the boy often passed through.

Konoha's end was close.

Naruto walked through the silent street, not wearing a silly smile like he usually did in front of others. He had taken the short cut he often took to go home. As much as he loved attention, being around a lot of people made him very nervous; maybe it was the results of all the abuse he took.

He was thinking about the academy.

If he kept up like this he would surely fail to pass the academy. But there was nothing he could do without no one to help him. None of the academy instructors are happy to be even in his presence. He knew they hated him but he didn't know why. He had a few theories, and all of them ended with the Kyubi. There has to be a reason they call him 'Kyubi brat' when they believe he doesn't hear.

He thought that acting like a clown would at least cause them to smile at him. He just couldn't take the hatred anymore. Annoyance was much better than hatred.

Naruto sighed he was tired. The thought of walking in to an empty apartment didn't lift his mood. He can go to ichiraku that would definitely lift his mood.

Suddenly he felt his instincts scream at him, but couldn't do anything as he was grabbed of the street and pulled in to the alley way. Darkness engulfed him before he could even make a sound.

The mob of villagers sneered at the unconscious blond in the arms of the anbu. There were about twenty people present. Most of the villagers no longer hated they boy instead they simply ignored him, so even though they knew of the mob none actually bothered to join or save the boy. Those who still loathed the boy with a passion believed that the demon was corrupting everyone. That was when a golden chance was presented to them by the very anbu who was supposed to protect the boy. The demon will end today and Konoha will be saved.

Masaru disguised as the anbu stared at the group of villagers, his frown and disgust hidden behind the rat mask. He looked at the boy in his arm, so innocent, so small and so pure. His heart clenched.

Soon the boy will be free of all the hatred.

He laid the boy down on the cement pavement. The self proclaimed avengers of Konoha seemed thrilled. What all they planned to do to the boy? The thought made Masaru sick. But he said nothing as he lifted the boy's white shirt and exposed his stomach.

He applied a little chakra so that the seal became visible, Masaru heard some gasps. He took a premade seal and stuck it to the boy's seal, then went through the necessary seals before slamming his palm on the boy's stomach.

He watched in fascination as his seal spread over the boy's seal and disappeared. He smiled grimly when he saw that the eight trigram seal had changed in the desired way. The boy's face contorted in pain but he did not move.

The villagers were watching impatiently. Masaru touched the boy's forehead and his hands glowed briefly. Now the boy was successfully trapped in his own mind. It was a mercy, so that the boy did not feel anything these scum decided to do to him. Masaru stood up and turned to look at the villagers.

"It is done. The demon chakra will no longer heal him. I have shielded the area using seals, so you will have time to do the job and leave without detection."

"You sure? It's still only four in the evening…" one of the bastards said.

"No one will enter this area for half an hour maximum. The seals will keep them away. Don't waste time." Masaru send the boy one last look before moving to leave.

"Hey you don't want a chance for revenge?" someone asked gleefully.

"No. I will be keeping watch." And with that Masaru left the boy in the hands of those demons.

Masaru entered his apartment. He had very little time to make his escape.

Everything was already prepared. He took the scroll containing all his belongings and removed the carpet on the floor.

A massive seal became visible. A teleportation seal. Although the chakra wastage was large, he didn't have time for anything else. He stood in the middle of the seal and with a surge of chakra, he vanished.

HALF AN HOUR LATER

"Hokage-sama Naruto Uzumaki has been attacked." An anbu wearing a cat mask appeared before the Hokage and spoke.

Sandaime Hokage; Hiruzen Sarutobi jumped out of his chair and slammed his fist down on the table in rage,

Hiruzen was furious and worried.

Before anything else could be spoken a malicious chakra filled the atmosphere. The Hokage's eyes widened as he felt a chill run down his spine. This is the Kyubi's chakra, did the seal break?

Another anbu appeared before Hiruzen, "Hokage sama the seal is"

Hiruzen was gone even before the anbu finished.

The Sandaime Hokage shunshin-ed to the hospital. The civilian's all around were running frantically, even they could feel the oppressing aura of Kyubi. The ninjas were trying to keep the civilians calm.

The Hokage reached room from where the red chakra was raging. Medics and ninjas were standing at the corner of the hall way. The patients all have already been evacuated. Red chakra was lashing out in the form of tendrils not allowing anyone to enter the room.

An anbu appeared near the Hokage.

"Hokage sama."

"What is the situation sparrow?" Hokage asked seriously.

"We found the boy in alley way being attacked by a mob."

"And what about his guard?" Hokage asked with narrowed eyes.

"He is missing Hokage sama."

Sarutobi resisted the urge to growl. The anbu continued.

"The Kyubi's chakra wasn't healing the boy. The wounds were critical. We bought him to the hospital immediately. The medics were treating him when the first chakra explosion occurred. It wasn't large enough to be sensed from long distances. It was not harmful as well."

The Sandaime raised an eyebrow at this.

"Moments later we felt the Kyubi's chakra being released in huge amounts. The medics were thrown out of the room by the red chakra. None of us have been able to enter the room ever since."

The Sandaime observed the red chakra that was taking the form of 3 tails and lashing out from the room. There was only one explanation, the seal was breaking. He tried taking a step forward but the chakra lashed out at the old kage. Hiruzen jumped back avoiding the chakra tail.

Suppressing the chakra was impossible without getting near the boy and at the moment that too was impossible. But since a Kyubi-fied Naruto wasn't rampaging the village they can safely assume that he wasn't possessed… yet. Damn it! They need Jiraiya right now. Hiruzen felt sweat drip down his face as a fourth and fifth chakra tail was formed.

"Hawk!" Hiruzen called out. They mentioned anbu commander appeared before the Hokage.

"Evacuate the hospital of all personals. Prepare to set up barrier seals around the hospital. Send a team to retrieve Jiraiya immediately."

"Yes Hokage sama."

But right then something else happened. The chakra tails waned and was suddenly pulled back inside the room forcefully by a snowy white chain. Everyone present watched fascinated as the chain tried to suppress the red chakra. Even more surprising was the fact that the tails seemed to flinch away from the chain as if touching the chain hurt them.

Another chain joined the fray, then another and two more appeared suddenly. The five chains wrapped around the five tails and pulled back. There was a brief fight for dominance; finally the red chakra seemed to completely dissipate. Everyone present was amazed. Soon both chakras had vanished.

Hawk moved towards the room keeping his senses open for any nasty surprises. Once he was sure everything was fine he nodded towards the Hokage. As soon as he did the old man rushed past hawk towards the room.

Inside, the room was completely devastated. The walls were charred and every single piece of cloth was ashes. And near a collapsed wall in a melting bed lay a naked seven year old boy. Golden blond hair and three whisker like scars on each cheek. His eyes were closed, eyebrows furrowed as if in pain, which Hiruzen guessed that the boy was. There was not even a single scratch on the boy. He looked perfectly fine if not for the pained expression.

The old kage lifted the boy into his arms and cradled the young boy, covering the boy with his own robes. Hiruzen noticed that the boy seemed healthier. He now looked like his age and not like some mal nourished street rat. He was definitely heavier but still light for his age. He seemed to have grown an inch or two in height as well.

"Cat, find Hyuga Akemi and bring her to my office." With that Hiruzen vanished in a shun shin taking Naruto with him.

Head of the hospital Hyuga Akemi stood in front of the Sandaime Hokage. She had light brown curly hair reaching mid back that was in a pony tail and pupil less silver eyes.

"Hokage sama." Akemi bowed.

"Hyuga san, tell me what happened at the hospital after the anbu bought Naruto kun in."Hiruzen asked.

"When the anbu bought the boy in, we almost thought the boy was already dead. The damage done was quite severe; we would've lost the child especially without the Kyubi's healing. But then something happened. One moment the he was dying and then the next the he was good as new. Instant regeneration that's all I could say."

The Hokage's eyes widened. Akemi continued, "We were all stunned but thought that it was the Kyubi's power."

"And it wasn't?"

Akemi shook her head. "The healing was the result of some other chakra. Definitely not the Kyubi's."

"You are sure?" Hiruzen asked, already having witnessed the white chakra chains.

"The chakra was white, pure white like the snow. Nothing like the Kyubi's red chakra. It felt so pure calming and … almost divine."

Hiruzen was not sure what to think of this situation. Could it be some blood line? Kushina had such a bloodline but although the chains are similar, the chakra was entirely different. Akemi continued her report.

"The white chakra was the first one that exploded out ward. But it didn't harm any of us. It was miraculous. That chakra healed almost every patient in this floor!"

And Hiruzen thought he couldn't be more surprised. Instant regeneration didn't seem so farfetched at that moment.

"That's when everything went to hell. The white chakra receded in to him. I used byakugan to check on him. Hokage sama the boy has four chakra path ways!"

Hiruzen felt numb. He already knew of Naruto's three chakra path ways, but where did this fourth one come from?

"Continue Akemi san." Hiruzen said preparing himself for the next bomb.

"One pathway filled with his natural blue chakra. The next one contained the Kyubi's chakra. The next one contained his chakra mixed with the Kyubi's in small amounts, but still more potent. These three pathways had already been there since the boy activated his chakra.

The last and most recent, since I know that he didn't have such a pathway when they bought in the boy last week, is the one with the white chakra. And surprisingly it is the largest of the four pathways and is still growing. Last time I checked it was mid jonin level reserves but at the rate it keeps expanding I won't be surprised if it reached anbu level by now."

"What more can you inform me about this white chakra, Akemi san?"

"Besides it's healing abilities? It is really dense, similar to Kushina's chakra and really potent similar to sage chakra. Its development rate is frightening. It also seems to be opposing the kyubi's chakra. There is a struggle for dominance between both chakras and the white chakra is winning. " Akemi said.

"Is that a good thing or bad thing?" the Hokage asked worried.

"I am not sure. I am very worried for Naruto kun." Akemi said.

She was a close friend of both Kushina and Minato. She was Kushina's team mate. She along with Kushina and Minato had made chunin together. She separated from them only when she started her medic nin training. Even then, they kept in touch. She had been on a mission on the day of the Kyubi attack.

She never got to even say good bye to her friends at their funeral because she had been incapacitated due to her mission.

Akemi had tried to adopt the boy but the council did not let her because of her clan status. She can understand that they didn't want any clan abusing the kyubi's power. But that did not deter her from helping the boy whenever she could. She was the reason that none of the hospital staff's who treated the boy wrongly never continued at the hospital.

The old Hokage nodded sadly.

"Naruto kun is at the infirmary inside the anbu facility. The guards will let you in. you are free to go check on him. I know you want to. I am handing over his treatment to you. You will lead the medic team at the infirmary taking care of Naruto kun."

"Thank you Hokage sama."

Akemi bowed to the Hokage and left the office.

As soon as Akemi left a dog masked anbu appeared before the Hokage.

"Dog, report."

"We found the body of Naruto kun's missing guard Hokage sama. Medics say he died three days ago. He was murdered using a katana. His body was found buried."

The Hokage frowned thoughtfully.

"Hokage sama, the criminal is at least an A ranked ninja. Had we not been looking for the guard specifically we would not have found the body in a long time. He also managed to avoid detection for three days and maybe longer posing as the guard. The civilians who had attacked the boy said that it was a ninja who persuaded them into 'purging' the demon that controlled their Hokage. Everything was pre planned Hokage sama. We also found seals surrounding the area of the attack, preventing any detection of the attack by the patrolling anbu. The seals were high quality and not manufactured by any of our seal makers. The seals seemed to be custom made which can only mean that the culprit is well versed with seals."

The Sandaime's frown deepened. This was bad. Why would an outsider have anything against Naruto kun, going to such great lengths to get the boy killed, that too by the hands of the villagers itself? If he/she was as skilled as they believe, it would've been easy for him to just kill Naruto kun and be done with it. And the seals… things were getting more and more complicated. He needed to check the kyubi's seal just to be sure.

There was an urgent knock on the door. Then the door was almost smashed open by Morino Ibiki head of interrogation and torture department. Ibiki didn't bow or waste time with any formalities.

"Hokage sama, the kyubi's seal has been tampered with."

The Hokage shot out of his chair.

"What?!" this could be really bad.

"The villagers I was interrogating, they said that the anbu who helped them, altered the kyubi's seal right before the beating began. The anbu had told the villagers that he was adjusting the seal so that the demon won't be able to use its chakra to heal itself afterwards."

"Dog, come with me. Ibiki get anything more you can get out of the civilians."

With that Sandaime and the dog anbu vanished in a shunshin.

The Hokage and anbu appeared inside the anbu infirmary.

Hyuga Akemi stood with a look of anguish on her face. She was gazing at Naruto who was thrashing in his bed in pain. Silent tears streamed down her face. Hiruzen couldn't stand to look at the suffering boy.

"Hyuga san, what is going on with Naruto kun?" Hiruzen asked the medic.

"He is dying Hokage sama…" was the pained reply.

Hai so how is it?

Please review... and thanks for reading.
