AN: This is my rewrite to Namikaze Hokage. In the last version, there were so many things I wanted to do then I ended up butchering the first version and thus I needed to recollect and come up with the version that I felt most comfortable with.
Now in this version, there are some major changes.
Kushina and Minato are alive and I have them alive because I wanted some contrast between them and Konan and Pein.
Obito is alive along with Rin and thus Kakashi does not have the Sharingan. Regardless, he will be a badass in this story, along with his old teammates.
The biggest change is... well you'll just have to read the story to find out! (I'm so evil)
Thus this story, along with Naruto May Cry, will take up most of my time as I intend to finish both since now I have a capable laptop to work with and new inspiration. So now, let's get on with the story!
Chapter 1: Naruto and Nagisa
Twelve years ago...
(Hokage's office)
"What are you doing jiji?" Minato, the Yondaime Hokage asked, bewildered.
He was about to take his son up with him to face the Kyuubi, so he could seal the Kyuubi inside his son. However, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sandaime Hokage, appeared and took Naruto away from Minato.
"I'm doing what's best for the village, you, Kushina and Naruto. If you go through with your plan then Naruto and Kushina would have to live a very lonely life without their father and husband respectively. Me on the other hand have accomplished everything that I wanted to and my children have all grown up. If anyone should die then it should be me." Sarutobi said with a smile.
"But jiji, you can't…" Minato began to say but then knocked from behind by his mentor, Jiraiya.
Minato then slumped to the floor, unconscious.
"Are you sure you're ready for this old man? It won't be pretty." Jiraiya asked his sensei.
"Yes I am sure Jiraiya. Like I told Minato, it's the best way to save the village and to ensure prolonged prosperity for the village. Besides, it's time for me to go and what better way to go then to stop an enraged bijuu from destroying the village?" Sarutobi said.
"Alright then, let's do this." The toad sannin said with a grin.
Sarutobi nodded and then both disappeared. In the outskirts of Konoha, there was a battle raging between the Kyuubi and the Konoha shinobi. No matter what jutsus they threw at the Kyuubi, it had no effect on the gigantic beast. All hope seemed lost until the giant frog called Gamabunta suddenly appeared in the middle of the battlefield. On top of its head were Sarutobi with the baby Naruto in his hands, and his student Jiraiya.
"It's been nice teaching you Jiraiya. If only I paid more attention to you than Orochimaru." Sarutobi said, a somber look taking over his face as he remembered his prized student-turned traitor.
"And it was nice having you as a teacher, old man." Jiraiya said with a grin.
Sarutobi then went through a series of hand seals as the Kyuubi approached them.
"Here it is! Shiki Fuuin!" Sarutobi said.
He then performed the technique that summoned the shinigami into the living plane. He then pulled the Kyuubi into Naruto using that technique and sealed the beast inside. Sarutobi then fell down, dead as the technique had taken not only his soul but its toll on his body, taking away his last breaths.
Jiraiya's face turned somber as his sensei was now dead and Konoha had lost a great man. He then saw Naruto next to Sarutobi and smiled,
'I can't believe that Minato and Kushina named him after the main character in my book.' Jiraiya thought as he remembered that day. Fortunately for the baby, his parents would still be with him and raise him as a family.
Suddenly, a light engulfed Naruto and then eight orbs of light flew from Naruto and into the sky before going into different directions.
"What was that?" Jiraiya wondered.
"Jiraiya-sensei!" Said Minato as he arrived on the scene.
He walked up to Sarutobi and saw him lying dead on the floor. Tears then began to well up in Minato's eyes.
"Baka jiji. It should have been me, not you." Minato said crying.
"Maybe it was but in the end, you're still alive while he is not. Besides, the people of Konoha need their Yondaime Hokage more than anything right now and crying isn't going to help much." Jiraiya told his student.
Minato cleared his face of tears and then turned to look at his sensei with a determined look,
"You're right sensei. I am the Yondaime Hokage and right now, people need me." Minato said.
He then picked up his son, who was sleeping, and then disappeared using shunshin no jutsu. The only one left was Jiraiya, who looked at the sky as he replayed that shooting light in his mind,
"Whatever these lights were, I have a bad feeling about them." Jiraiya said grimly.
Twelve years later…
(Dream sequence)
"Please let me live, I beg you!" A man begged as he was on the ground in the middle of a misty forest.
The man wore the ANBU uniform of the Mist Village, had brown hair, and black eyes. He also looked to be in his late twenties and he was covered in bruises.
"Why should I? You tried to kill my friends and I because of our bounties. What makes me think you just won't attack us again with more numbers?" Asked the person standing in front of the mist ANBU.
The young man had light blond hair tied in a long ponytail, had deep cerulean eyes, and had whisker marks on his cheeks. He wore a silver coat, dark blue shirt, black eyes, and brown fingerless gloves. In his hand was a large oversized katana with a red hilt.
"I…I won't, I swear! Please let me go, I have a wife and two children, please let me go." The man said, pleading to the young man with tears in his eyes.
The young man looked at the man, then sighed and said,
"Alright alright, I'll let you go."
"Thank you so much!" The ANBU member said in gratitude.
The young blonde turned around and headed out. But unknown to him, the ANBU's face twisted into an evil face as he unsheathed his zanbantou and then ran toward the oblivious young man. He swung his zanbantou and cut the young man in two, but to his horror, the young man turned into water.
"You really are an idiot if you thought I would fall for such a trick." The blonde said behind the ANBU ninja.
"Wait! I'm sorry!" The ANBU yelled in fright.
"Bitch please." The blonde said with a grin.
He then swung his sword down at the ANBU who screamed as death had come for him
(End dream)
"AHHH!" A boy screamed in his bed.
The boy had yellow spiky hair, deep blue eyes, whisker marks on his cheeks. He wore a blue shirt with a red swirl in the middle and white boxers.
"Are you alright Naruto-kun?" Asked a red-haired woman as she entered his room. She had on a pink robe and looked to be in her late twenties/early thirties.
"I'm okay mother. I just had a strange dream, nothing to worry about." Naruto said, reassuring his mother.
"Well you know you can talk to us about it tomorrow if it bothers you okay?" Uzumaki Kushina told her son.
"I know mother. Good night." Naruto said with a smile.
His mother smiled back before closing the door. Naruto then laid back on his bed and looked at his ceiling as he was still disturbed by the dream,
'It felt so real and that swordsman looked exactly like me. But what kind of dream could it be?' Naruto thought.
"So you dreamt of a boy with a gigantic sword, who looked nearly identical to you, killing an ANBU from the Mist?" Minato asked his son as they were eating around the dinner table.
Naruto wore a white shirt with black shorts and blue shoes while his father was dressed in his Hokage robes, minus the hat of course, while Kushina was dressed in a dark blue oriental dress.
"I know it sounds worse dad but it felt so real and he really did look like me. I mean if he didn't have shorter hair then he would look exactly like me." Naruto said.
"I don't know what to say son. I mean I know for sure you're my only son and that you have no relative other than in Whirpool Country and their hair is not blonde like yours and mine." Minato said as he pondered on what his son's dream meant.
"Well Minato-kun, why don't you just have Inoichi-san examine Naruto after school?" Kushina asked as she was cleaning the dishes.
"I don't see how that will help much kaa-san. Even if Inoichi-san peeks into my head, it's not like he'll figure out who that boy is and why I dreamt of him." Naruto replied.
"Aren't you just saying that because you don't want to miss out on Hinata-chan's birthday party?" Kushina asked with a snicker.
"Wouldn't want to make Hina-chan mad now wouldn't we?" Minato added in with a giggle as both parents teased their son, which cause him to blush in embarrassment.
"It's not like that! Hinata and I are just friends. The only girl I love is Sakura-chan and besides, Sasuke would kill me if I even made a pass at Hinata-chan. You all remember what happened to Kiba when he tried to holler at Hinata, right?" Naruto told.
Kushina and Minato both shuddered as they remembered what happened to the Inuzuka. A year ago, Kiba tried to make a pass at Hinata when the last Uchiha caught him doing so and beat the living crap to the point where the boy was in the hospital and lucky for him, Sasuke didn't castrate him.
"Anyway, I gotta go to the academy. I'll see you later." Naruto said as he grabbed his bento box that his mother had made and then left.
"Do you think he'll be fine Minato?" Kushina asked as she leaned his on Minato
"I think he'll be just fine." Minato said, reassuring his wife, though he was also worried about his son.
Naruto ran around the streets, getting hellos from many people. He then stopped in front of a house, and then knocked on the door. Then a pink-haired woman opened the door and smiled,
"Hello Naruto-kun. Don't worry, Sakura will be right out." Haruno Akari said.
She closed the door and then a few minutes later, the door opened once more and Sakura walked out of the door. The girl had short pink hair, beautiful turquoise eyes, and wore a long red shirt with dark green shorts underneath, and blue shoes.
"You look pretty Sakura." Naruto said to the girl.
"Thank you Naruto." The girl said blushing.
The young couple then walked to the academy together. Later that day, nearly everyone in the village was at the Hyuuga Manor as they came to celebrate Hinata's twelfth birthday.
"Hey Hiashi, what's up?" Minato said casually as he and his family entered the prestigious manor.
He and his son were both dressed in identical orange jinbeis while Kushina was dressed in a red yukata with her hair tied in a ponytail and a flower on her hair as well.
"Your casual attitude and clothing style never ceases to amaze me, Hokage-sama." Hiashi said with a sigh as he welcomed his guests.
"Hiashi, I told you that you could call me Minato. We are friends after all right?" Minato told the Main head leader.
"Sorry Hokage-sama, but one of us has to be the punctual one after all." Hiashi said with a grin.
"I'm so glad you made Naruto!" Hinata said as she walked out from her house to greet the guests. She wore a violet yukata that had white lilies on it.
"I would never miss a friend's birthday party." Naruto said.
"Sasuke-kun!" Hinata cried out as she saw the Uchiha heir enter the grounds.
He wore a black jinbei with the Uchiha fan on the back. He was accompanied by his uncle Obito and his wife Rin, along with Kakashi and Anko.
Obito had on a white jinbei with a dragon on the back while Rin had on a blue yukata. Kakashi and Anko both wore a jinbei and yukata respectively that were colored in gray.
Obito was the only Uchiha that was not in the district the night of the massacre and the reason why is because he and Rin had gone on a mission along with Kakashi. When he came back, he heard of the massacre and quickly adopted Sasuke and moved him into his apartment that he and Rin shared. This move by Obito helped Sasuke keep some of his old personality and also make him less of a loner.
As for Kakashi and Anko, the two started dating about six months ago and the two went extremely well. The two also influenced each other as Kakashi became less prone to tardiness and Anko became less violent, which made her more acceptable to her fellow shinobi.
"Hey Hina-chan, happy birthday." Sasuke said with a smile.
"Thank you Sasuke-kun." Hinata said blushing.
"Yo Sasuke!" Naruto yelled out as he greeted his best friend and rival
"Hey Naruto. It's seems everyone is here." Sasuke said as he greeted back Naruto.
"No, not everyone is here.' The younger Namikaze said as he then fell on his knees, his face saddened.
"Who's not here Naruto?" Hinata asked the blonde.
"SAKURA-CHAN IS NOT HERE!" Naruto yelled and he began to cry.
"Wait? Sakura-chan is not here? But why?" Hinata asked as she was shocked that one of her best friends was not at her birthday party.
"SHE HAD TO HELP HER MOM AT THE HOSPITAL TODAY! I MISS SAKURA-CHAN!" Naruto yelled out some more as rivers of tears flowed from his eyes.
"Stop it dobe! You're making a scene!" Sasuke told his best friend as people were looking at them confused.
"Shut up teme! At least you're with your girl. Sakura and I are separated from each other for the rest of the day and she's likely crying right now like I am." Naruto said to the Uchiha as he dried his tears.
"Yeah right, like she's crying like you are right now." Sasuke scoffed at his friend, not believing his story for a second.
"Hmm, not to be mean Haruno-sama but why his your daughter crying so much for?" One of the doctors asked Haruno Akari.
Just a while ago, Sakura started to cry while helping some of the patients and hasn't stopped crying ever since.
"Oh don't worry, she always does that whenever she is not with Naruto for a long period of time. She'll stop eventually." Akari said with a light laugh, causing the doctor to sweat drop.
"Anyway, stop crying at my Hina-chan's birthday party!" Sasuke ordered the blonde with a glare.
"Make me!" Naruto growled at the Uchiha and sparks began to fly between the two.
"Looks like the boys are at it again, right Obito?" Minato said to the other Uchiha.
"Yeah, looks like it. Reminds me of Kakashi and I when we used to fight." Obito said with a light chuckle.
"Those were the good days." Kakashi said with a grin.
"Yep." Obito grinned at his best friend.
"By the way Obito, is Sasuke doing well now?" Minato asked.
"Yeah, much better than two years ago. He's more open and less focused on revenge." Obito answered with a more serious look on his face.
"And besides if he even thinks about revenge, I hit with my bokken of justice!" Rin said enthusiastically as she then took out her large bokken that came from nowhere.
"I don't think that's a humane way to treat Sasuke, Rin-chan." Obito told his girlfriend.
"What did you say Obito-kun?" Rin asked in a sweet voice that hid a sense of imminent death.
"N…Nothing honey, just that you're the greatest girlfriend in the universe." Obito answered nervously as he sweated profusely.
'Man we are so whipped.' Kakashi, Minato, and Obito thought as they realized that the women of their lives were very violent.
'Good job.' Anko and Kushina thought as they mentally congratulated their female counterpart, giving her thumbs-up.
A clap of hands snapped everyone from their conversations as they turned their heads to see Hiashi standing in the middle of the grounds,
"Alright everyone, thank you for coming to my daughter's birthday. I appreciate the gesture and I can say that we can officially start the festivities." Hiashi told his guests.
The party was a success as everyone had fun. Some ended up being too drunk, as Anko was for example which caused her to leave early, dragging Kakashi much to the silver-haired jounin's dismay and murmuring perverted things.
Naruto easily got over his sadness when he found out that Hiashi had specifically made sure that the Hyuuga cooks prepare over 100 bowls of ramen for Naruto to eat. The boy devoured through them and ended up with a very full stomach.
Hinata received a lot of gifts, like a necklace from Sasuke, a new coat from the Namikaze family, as they knew Hinata had a fondness for coats, and other gifts.
All in all, it was another successful birthday party for the Hyuuga Heiress.
(Timeskip: Wave Mission)
It's been a month since Hinata's birthday. During that month, Naruto, Sasuke, sakura and all of their friends passed the Genin Exam with flying colors, with Naruto erning rookie of the year honors. Then he, Sakura and Sasuke were grouped into Team 7, which would be led by Hatake Kakakshi.
Currently Team 7, composed of Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, Naruto himself, and their jounin teacher Hatake Kakashi, were undertaking a C-ranked mission, which was to bring a bridge builder by the name Tazuna back home safe, as he was in great danger.
Our group was currently walking on their way to Wave Country.
Naruto was wearing a white vest with the Uzumaki swirl on the back, dark blue shirt, black pants, blue shoes, blue fingerless gloves, and his forehead protector tied like a headband.
Sasuke also wore his forehead protector like a headband but wore a black shirt with the Uchiha symbol on the back, white shorts with a golden dragon on each sides, and black shoes.
Finally, Sakura wore a red shirt with a gray skirt, her forehead protector tied on top of her hair, and black shoes (her outfit in Shippudden basically)
Suddenly they were engulfed by mist, as the whole path became a giant mist.
"What's going on?" Sakura asked as she looked at the mist.
"Better question is, where did this mist come from?" Sasuke asked as he took out his kunai.
"And another question to ask is if that mist is a jutsu and if it is, who's doing it?" Naruto asked, adding onto his friend's question.
"That ninjutsu is called the Kirikagure no Jutsu, and there's only one person that has mastered it to such an extent and that person is Momoichi Zabuza, The Devil of the Mist and a A-class missing nin." Kakashi said solemnly as he surveyed the area.
"Guys, form the triangle formation around Tazuna in order to protect him." Kakashi ordered his genins.
"What about you Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked.
"I'll locate the enemy and engage him." The silver-haired jounin answered.
The genins nodded and immediately form the formation in order to protect the bridge builder.
"Raiton: Musei Haigane No Jutsu (Lightning Release: Silent Wire Technique)." Kakashi whispered.
Suddenly, nearly unseen wires made up of lightning chakra extended from Kakashi's fingers and extended themselves all over the place.
"Whatever you guys do, do not even move an inch understood?" Kakashi ordered his genins.
"Brain, liver, spine, lungs, neck vein, clavical vein, kidneys and heart. Those are the eight places which I can choose, but which one will I choose?" Zabuza's voice rang throughout the mist.
His voice laced with killing intent made the genins shiver in fright,
'This tension is killing me. It's like I'm going to choke.' Sasuke thought.
"Found you!" Kakashi yelled out.
He immediately appeared behind the genins and Tazuna, took out his kunai and blocked Zabuza's incoming strike.
"How did you know my location?" Zabuza asked, surprised that the jounin could find him so easily in such a thick mist.
"I created wires made of lightning and unseen by the human eye, and then enveloped the entire place with it. No matter how hard you tried to hide, I would have found your location." Kakashi explained.
"Because I wasn't able to see the wires, I touched them by accident and thus let you to my location huh?" Zabuza asked.
"Exactly." Kakashi said. He then turned his head to look at his students and said, "I want you guys to take Tazuna with you and get as far as you can. I'll stay and defeat Zabuza." Kakashi ordered his team.
"But Kakashi-sensei, we can't just…" Sakura began to plead but then saw Naruto put his hand on her shoulder, shaking his head,
"Don't worry about Kakashi-sensei, he'll be fine. Our priority is to make sure that Tazuna-san stays alive by all means." Naruto told his teammate/girlfriend firmly.
"Besides, we'll only be a burden to him. No matter how talented we were in the academy, we're only genins while those guys are easily jounin-level. We'll only get in the way." Sasuke added on.
Sakura nodded as she realized that her friends were right. The genins then headed off with Tazuna, leaving the two jounin-level shinobi to fight.
"It's only you and me now, Momoichi Zabuza." Kakashi said glaring.
Zabuza grinned and then began to laugh
"What's so funny?" Kakashi asked the missing-nin as he wanted to know why Zabuza was laughing.
"It's just hilarious that you think that just because you've taken care of me that your little precious genin and that older geezer are safe." Zabuza said with a smirk.
"What do you…" Kakashi began to say but then trailed off as realization dawned upon him,
Zabuza saw Kakashi's shocked face and grinned darkly.
The genins and Tazuna were running further away from the fight when suddenly, our heroes stopped in their tracks, confusing Tazuna.
"Why did you stop?" Tazuna asked.
"It's because there's someone up ahead." Naruto answered.
He then felt something, as if information was coursing through his body,
'What the hell is that feeling?' Naruto thought.
"Damn it, Zabuza just had to use that damn mist of his." The person said as they walked toward our group.
'I recognize that voice…' Naruto thought.
The person finally came into view as they stopped about ten meters in front of our group and upon seeing that person everyone gasped. The person was young man had light blond hair tied in a long ponytail, had deep cerulean eyes, and had whisker marks on his cheeks. He wore a silver coat, dark blue shirt, black eyes, and brown fingerless gloves. In his hand was a large oversized katana with a red hilt.
"How…how can this be?" Sakura asked.
"Why the hell does he like you Naruto?" Sasuke asked the blonde.
"I have absolutely no idea but I wish I knew." Naruto answered.
"What the hell are you guys talking about?" The ponytailed Naruto asked.
He then got a good look at Naruto and blinked several times,
"You look just like me!" The young man said.
"Your name is Momoichi Nagisa, age 13, missing nin from Kirikagure. Your favorite is ramen and your goal is to become the best swordsman in the world." Naruto recited.
"And your name is Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto, age 13, son of the Yondaime Hokage. Your favorite is ramen and your goal is to become the next Hokage and to surpass your father." Nagisa recited
"Hey! How did you know that? Stop copying me!" Both said at the exact same time.
"Is this some kind of ninja trick you guys do?" Tazuna asked as he was confused as hell.
"It's definitely not a trick or else my Sharingan would have picked up on it." Sasuke answered as he had his Sharingan on.
"And it's definitely not genjutsu or else Naruto would have released it a long time." Sakura added.
"Seriously, who the hell are you? Are you some kind of poser or something?" Naruto asked angrily.
"Poser? Look who's talking? Except for the hair and clothes, you look exactly like me." Nagisa retorted.
"But there's no way two people can look exactly the same except if they are twins and I know for sure I don't have a twin!" Naruto said.
"And neither do I. All I do know is that you better hand over the old man or else." Nagisa ordered Naruto and his team.
"Sorry but I don't intend on doing so." Naruto said as he got out his kunai and got into his stance.
"Look kid, you may look like me but neither you nor your friends are strong enough to beat me so just give up." Nagisa said with a sigh.
"Ha, didn't anyone ever teach not to underestimate anyone." Sasuke said with a grin as he got ready.
"Just because we're genins doesn't mean we're weaklings you know." Sakura said confidently as she also got ready to fight.
"So basically if you want Tazuna-san, you'll have to go through us first!" Naruto said as he finished off the same thought that everyone on his team had.
Nagisa sighed before he took out his giant katana from his back scabbard. He then pointed it at our heroes,
"You wanna fight, fine. But don't blame me for your deaths!" Nagisa said with a grin.
He then rushed toward them and was about to swing his sword when a hand was placed on his right shoulder, stopping him. The person that had stopped him had long black hair, wore a green robe with a beige shirt underneath, a brown skirt, sandals, and an ANBU mask with red stripes.
"What are you doing here Haku?" Nagisa asked, as it seemed that he was familiar with the new intruder.
"We have to go Nagisa-kun, Zabuza-sama has been defeated by that jounin and I was able to save him just in time." The ninja called Haku whispered.
"That Zabuza-jiji just had to get his ass kicked. Oh well." Nagisa whispered back to his friend.
He then looked at our heroes and grinned,
"See you next time." Nagisa said.
He and his friend then disappeared out of sight, just before Kakashi ran up to his students
"So you guys are okay after all, that's good." Kakashi said relieved.
"You won't believe this Kakashi-sensei. Apparently one of those guys is named Momoichi Nagisa and yet he looks exactly like Naruto-kun." Sakura told her sensei.
"Are you guys sure it wasn't a genjutsu or henge or a shadow clone?" Kakashi asked, not buying the claim.
"Trust us Kakashi, we checked for everything. My Sharingan didn't detect anything at all." Sasuke answered.
"Not only that but I was able to know everything about him, as if I was reading his mind or something." Naruto said.
"He knew everything about you Nagisa-kun?" Haku asked as she was administering first aid to Zabuza
"Yeah he did and what's even funnier is that I knew everything about him even though I never met him. I'm telling you Haku-chan, it was weird." The blonde said.
"So, what are you going to do about it?" The girl asked.
"I'm going to kill him, that's what I'm gonna do." Nagisa said as he answered Haku's question."
'Momoichi Nagisa…the next time we meet, I will get some answers.' Naruto thought as he and his team continued on their way to Wave Country, with more trouble than they had ever expected.
To be continued…
Preview:
Hey guys, this is Namikaze Naruto here and man there's so much that happened. Who is this Nagisa guy and why does he look so much like me damn it! Anyway, I won't have much time to come up with answers as I'm going to have to fight him again in the next chapter of Namikaze Brothers!
AN: This ends chapter 1. I skipped the Genin exam and genin team placement since it's been done to death and I really wanted to fully introduce Nagisa into the picture.
And yes, the biggest change to the original version as you may have noticed is that there is more than one Naruto. In fact every village, even Sound and Rain, will have their own Naruto, with that Naruto being good or bad depending on his village. The reason why I decided to do so was to have Naruto being able to influence the ninja world in more than one way and by him being separated into individual Narutos, it will enable him to influence individuals much easier like Gaara for example. Also, it sounded cool and it will also allow me to technically pair up Naruto with more than one person, making it somewhat of a NaruHarem story but in a smoother and easier fashion and eliminating love triangles.
If you have any suggestion for any of the other Narutos designs, let me know in your review
As always read and review!
