Untamed
AN- well here is the first chapter of UNTAMED. I have always wanted to write my own story and here it is after so many long sleepless nights. It feels good after posting this chapter. Now I just hope that you will have a good time reading this. So enjoy.
P.S- ehh, sorry guys but I did not like the format/style of the first chapter of this story, and it felt there was a lot of plot hole in there, so I am deleting and replacing it with the new and updated chapter. The story has changed in a few places, and I have corrected some much-needed spelling mistakes. Though, I know that a lot could have been done.
As an apology, I am going to upload the second chapter of this story today with the updated and corrected first chapter.
Disclaimer:I do not own Naruto or any of its characters, jutsus or anything. All I own is all the OCs I am about to introduce (if any) and the original jutsu and seals I am definitely going to use (if you want you can use them, just PM me before that and give the credit. Yeah I am a bit selfish like that).

CHAPTER 1: THE DEMON WITHIN
[OCTOBER 10th]
A child was running for his life on his fifth birthday. He barely looks five years old. Last year on the same day, the orphanage he was living in kicked him out after brutally beating and abusing him. His clothes were torn in many places. The only thing that was miraculously unharmed was his orange jacket, which was his only connection to his deceased parents. Since then he was living in streets, scavenging for food from trashcans and sleeping in any safe ally he could find.
Living in streets has done wonders for him, as he found out that this trash which other people find unhealthy to consume as food, is more healthy to eat than the so called food he was served in the orphanage. Since these are cooked meals for humans and not some stale bread and expired milk. This food has supplied him with much needed nutrients and proteins for his growth. That is the reason he is not short or suffering from malnutrition, he was in fact a healthy boy for his age.
It is strange, the boy, who is the last heir to the throne of a powerful and a prestigious but now wiped country and clan, and the son of the fourth hokage, the most powerful hokage of this same village, is living on trash. He is not aware of his heritage or parentage. The hokage and very few others only know Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto, his full name. For rest of the village, he is Uzumaki Naruto, nothing more than an orphan and demon-brat at best and a demon at worst, which is the case for him most of the days.
A whole year of surviving like this has changed him in many ways. The happy-go-lucky attitude of his had taken a turn and as a result, now he is much more aggressive. A year earlier when someone threw a stone or trash at him or said something bad he just wanted to cry and ran away, but now he retorts at them and throws trash at them. He still has to run afterwards, but now he doesn't take a crap from anyone.
Living in the streets had also made him street smart, now he knows how to survive in the streets, where to find food, the safest place to sleep at night and the best hiding places in the entire village. He now knows the entire tunnel and drainage system of the village and has decent concealment skill for someone without any knowledge or training in ninja arts.
However, not every day is kind to him. Some day he is unable to get anything to eat and other days he has to fight for food with street dogs and other homeless. Last few days have not been merciful for him. He has been roaming for whole day in the village proper in hopes of getting some food to no avail.
As soon as the sun started to set, the villagers started to chase him with any kind of weapon that they could find ranging from kitchen knives to broom sticks. At first, he didn't understood what was happening, but soon he realized they are out for his blood.
The child has not eaten for two days nor has he slept. It is very hard to sleep in empty stomach after all after being accustomed of having a good meal at least twice a day. However, thanks for the meal he has gotten for last one year from trash and the fight he has fought for the right to live in this cruel world he is fairly fast on his legs and has very good stamina for a boy his age.
He does not know why but everyone in this village is very cruel to him, excluding a few people. Sandaime hokage is, or was one of them. He has not seen Naruto in well over one and half year. Therefore, he is not aware that he has been kicked out from the orphanage.
This village, Konoha or Konohagakure no Sato, a village where the most kindest and peaceful people live, or so they say. It is true for every villager, but for Naruto the villagers are the cruellest and most vicious people, they are demon reincarnated. He was tired from running for almost three hours to save his life and little by little, the mob was gaining on him.
He took a turn in an ally way and a kunai penetrated the wall just above his head. He heard them shouting, "don't let him get away, we have kill the demon now. He is getting tired from running." The child scoffed at their hypocrisy. They are the one chasing and trying to kill a child and yet they think he is a demon. He vowed to take revenge on them when he is strong enough but for now he has to keep running. A dead person can't take revenge after all.
The child never understood why every villager called him names like demon, monster and the likes. He asked them but they did not answer. They even went as far as to calling him murderer and preventing their children from associating with him.
Just to make sure that he is a human and not a demon, he once looked at his face in a stream where he takes his weekly baths. What he saw only confused him in more than one way. He has the deepest of blue eyes he had ever seen in the whole village. His face is a little chubby from what little baby fat was still there, with three whiskers like marking on each of his cheek. However, the most striking feature he had is his hair. His unkempt and unruly hair is sun kissed blond pointing at every direction, with two short bangs framing his face with fiery red edge. His hair looks like it's on fire with blond and red hair. However, he was confused since this couldn't be the reason that people call him a demon, and he knew that. Whatever the case is, he is not getting any answers from them, so it is no use in duelling in that. For now and forever, he will be Naruto Uzumaki, at least for him.
Dodging another kunai, he took another ally-way. As soon as he took a couple of steps, he understood his mistake. It was a dead end. The moment he turned to leave the ally-way but he found it was blocked by the chasing mobs.
The child got sinking feeling in his stomach. The chasing mob was now buzzing with excitement for they were going to finish what the fourth had started. They were going to kill the demon fox, which is hiding in a child's form. One of them took a couple of steps forward. It looked like he was the leader of the mob. He raised his club to the child and said "nowhere to run demon, this is your end, what fourth started, tonight we are going to finish it. Tonight we are going to kill you bastard fox. You have lived long enough." The mob went crazy after this. They raised their weapons and ganged up on the little boy.
"How are you feeling demon? Is our hospitality satisfying to you, or do you want more?" someone from the mob asked. The boy was curled up like a ball with his hands covering his head to prevent any fatal injury. However, when a crazy mob starts beating you with whatever weapon they have, it is nigh impossible to prevent such occurrence.
The child was begging them to stop this inhuman torture. But when humanity is lost in the darkness of hatred and revenge, a plea from a child means nothing. So the mob kept beating him within an inch of his life. The more the child pleaded the more he was beaten.
The small child was now so much in pain that he wanted them to just kill him now, so that he never has to experience this again. He was in so much pain that he couldn't even embrace the comfort of unconsciousness.
[MINDSCAPE]
Everyone in the village, older than thirteen years knew that the child was the jinchuriki of the strongest bijuu, KYUUBI NO YOKO. That was the reason he is so hated and cursed. Some idiots even went as far as claiming that he is the beast herself. Despite the popular belief that the Kyuubi was the most hate-full towards humanity, she never hated the boy or any of her two previous jinchurikis, in fact, she respected them. In addition, the previous jinchuriki had earned her friendship. Her current or third jinchuriki, Uzumaki Naruto, is her previous jinchuriki's kit and her first jinchuriki's great grandson.
So, the Kyuubi wanted to help the kit, she really wanted to if for nothing else then just to satisfy her own maternal instincts. However, she could not until he first came to his own mindscape, so she settled for healing all injuries as fast as she could. Since she is locked behind a cage, which is limiting her abilities in helping him it became hard, though his Uzumaki heritage took care of it. However, what she saw today was too much. How can anyone be so cruel to kill an innocent child was beyond her.
She is a thousand years old immortal demon dammit, and even she would never do something like that. She is female and despite being a demon, she still has maternal instincts and that might be the reason that she never wanted to harm the child or see him in harm, or it could be that she personally knew his parents. Whatever the reason, she felt insurmountable rage at the villagers.
If the villagers wanted to kill the kit they should just do that and be done with it. The pain was too much for the young jinchuriki that he couldn't even seek the numb embrace of unconsciousness or the cold embrace of death. Kyuubi roared in impotent rage behind her confinement as the young kit was beaten to a pulp by so-called noble and innocent villagers. If the kit would only lose his consciousness then she can bring him to the mindscape and sooth him and comfort him. She was doing all she could from behind the seal. When she ran diagnostic, she found that every single bone in his body had been broken, his muscles destroyed and ligaments torn. If she could, she would have transformed into her full biju mode and killed every single human in this retched village.
She had had enough of this torture and was preparing to end the child's life by forcing all of her yokai into the small boy and poisoning his chakra to kill him. It was too much for her to hear the desperate and painful cry of the small boy. just to save the boy from any more beating she was ready to end his life and killing these hypocrite villagers in the process in an act of revenge for her current host's plight. However, before she could do that for hesitation, a villager died by a kunai in his head.
[REAL WORLD]
When the villagers had beaten the boy to their heart's content, and thought it was good time to put this bastard out his misery and finish what the fourth started five years ago, a kunai ended the life of a villager who had taken part in tormenting the boy for so long. The mob was startled by this sudden incident and tried to finish the demon once and for all, but a swarm of ANBU came out of nowhere and pushed back the villagers.
Villagers saw their beloved hokage stood in front of them, angry beyond words. Before they could even say something Hiruzen raised his hands and signalled his ANBU to execute all the villagers. ANBU leader and Hokage's personal guards, who were aware to the parentage of the boy, followed their leader's order with gusto. Hiruzen knew if the villagers were arrested and sent to prison, the civilian council will have raised hell for him, so he simply did what was best for all of them.
After the execution, Hiruzen picked up the boy and rushed to the hospital. He knew what happened tonight will leave a very deep scar in the boy's mind. After this incident, this child will never want to become the hokage as he once told him when he was little, nor will he want to do any-thing for the village or the villagers. This child was supposed to become the HERO of konoha, he was supposed to become greatest shinobi following his parent's footsteps and become a legend himself. Now surely the boy will try to run away. He promised himself right there that he would do all within his power to support, train and nurture the boy and try to prevent such occurrence. He didn't realize that two of his ANBU were having similar thoughts. The ANBUs vowed that they would teach the boy all that they could and make him a great shinobi, worthy of his parent's name. Then maybe, just maybe he will decide to stay in this village.
[WITH NARUTO]
After the thrashing he got from those damn villagers, Naruto was in so much pain that he could not even lose consciousness. Therefore, he heard when his jiji brought him to hospital and yelled at the doctor to treat him. He was very happy that his jiji came to save him, but at the same time was very angry and disappointed that he never came to see him in last one and a half year. He was sure that he didn't even know that he was living in the streets. When the doctor saw him and gave him painkillers and sedative then finally he was able to fall asleep.
[MINDSCAPE]
Naruto woke up and saw that he was sleeping in a sewer with ankle-deep water. He thought that the nurses and doctors have thrown him out of hospital after they treated him. He didn't pay it any mind since this was not the first time they have done it. Ever since the hokage stopped visiting him, the villagers never missed an opportunity to harass him in any way, so this was a common occurrence to him. He was thinking which way he should go when suddenly he felt tremendous amount of power. Naruto, as any other child was curious by nature and followed the power to its source.
After about ten minutes of walking and crossing many intersections, Naruto reached a large wooden door. He could sense that the power he felt from before was actually coming from behind this door. So he entered to investigate. The room was illuminated by torches. He saw a giant golden cage with some kind of writing on the outside. He cautiously approached the cage. Suddenly the pressure he felt before left.
When he was just a few feet from the gate, two giant slits of cat's or fox's eyes opened. Naruto stared at the eyes for a moment. After a few moment of staring, he came a bit closer than before.
"So, you have finally come to visit me Naruto? I thought you would never come."Naruto was startled as a powerful voice suddenly spoke from behind the cage. He fearfully asked, "Who are you"?
"I am known by many names. Demon, monster, killer are just a few of them. The most common and universal name for me is Kyuubi no Yoko, the great nine tailed demon lord."As the voice said that, a few torches were lit inside the cage. Naruto could now see that a giant fox was resting inside the cage. His nine tails were swishing behind him lazily. Naruto was terrified. The one demon who attacked your village only five years ago, who was supposed to be dead, was not dead at all and was in fact resting behind a cage and now talking to you. Any person with half a brain will be terrified.
Kyuubi sensed his fear and decided to kill it before his fear become too great for him to listen anything further than that. "You know, your mother and I were great friends Naruto, and through your mother, your father's as well. In fact they were the only one among mortals who had earned my friendship."
Naruto was stupefied. The Kyuubi was friends with his parents? And how the hell does he know about his parents when the old man hokage doesn't? He voiced his questions, "You know my parents? Who are they? Where are they? Why did they leave me in a hellhole like this? Don't they care for me? Don't they love me?" kyubii could hear the distress in her host's voice, so she answered as best as she could. "There are a few things Naruto I may never tell you and there are a few things you are not ready to learn yet. However, other things I can answer for you. First, I knew your parents. They... died Naruto. About your parent's identity, there is no easy way to say it and you will be shocked and rightfully so.
Your full name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze and you are the son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze. Minato, the Yellow Flash, was the yondaime of this village. Kushina was also a very competent shinobi. In fact, she was among those very few who could go toe to toe with your father in an all-out spar without holding back. She was also one of the few swordsmen in this village. She was the princess of Uzushio." Naruto was again very predictably stupefied. His hero is actually his father? And his mother was as strong as his father was? And she was also a real life princess! How cool is that. Then he got more questions than it was answered. If he truly was the son of the fourth hokage and a princess, then shouldn't the villager's respect him and support him. Then he looked at the beast in front of him. Was the demon really telling the truth? He couldn't be sure any more. He was about to voice his doubts but Kyuubi cut him and began to speak.
"They loved you since the moment your mother found that she is pregnant with you. They did not want to leave you here alone Naruto, no parent wants to, they simply did not have a choice. If they could, they both would have lived here with you, to protect you to nurture you and to train you.
However ...my attack changed everything. You see, you and your mother both are a special group of people known as jinchuriki. You have a tailed beast or bijuu, which am I in both you and your mother's case, sealed into you. Your mother and you are my second and third jinchuriki to be precise. When I attacked, your father had no choice but to seal me in you, sacrificing his own life in the process."
Naruto was stunned after learning his parent's identity. He is the son of a kage and a princess of a country so he practically is a royalty. Then he remembered how yondaime died in Kyuubi's attack. He did not know what think anymore. On one hand, he is talking to the great beast that attacked his home who he later found is very much alive and was practically friends with his parents. On the other, he is the reason his father if not both his parents died. "Why? Why did you attack this village?" Naruto asked in a small voice. "If you truly were my parents friend why did you attacked? And what happened to my mother? Can I even trust you that you are telling me the truth about my parent's identity..." he looked dejected somehow.
Kyuubi understood this, after all what he went through, he definitely is bound to have some trust issues. After a few moments of silence, Kyuubi answered. "I did not want to attack Naruto, I was forced to attack. Someone took control of me when your mother was giving birth to you. As I have told you, just like you, your mother was also a jinchuriki. Someone wanted my power, but as long as your parents were alive, he could do nothing to gain it. So when your mother was exhausted after giving birth to you he took the chance and broke me out of the seal to take control of me. Then ordered me to attack this village. I am sorry Naruto, I was not in control but still both of your parents died because of me."
After hearing that no matter how much he wanted to blame the Kyuubi for his parent's death, he could not bring himself to hate him. He knew if he wanted, he could still blame him for their death and take the easy way out, but he could not bring himself to do that.
Just as he was about to talk again, Kyuubi again said something that shook him to his very core. "You know, your mother looked up to me as her elder sister. She told me about it many times. She was about to name me your godmother but that son of bitch had to ruin it."Now Naruto had simply stopped thinking. Just this morning he was the most hated person in this hellhole of a village, and now he knew that he was the son of fourth hokage and a princess, he himself is a royalty, a noble, and he almost had the great Kyuubi as his godmother.
Well, that answers it. If she was about to be named as his godmother, than there is no was she was lying to him about his parentage. ...Wait, godmother...?
"I am not trying to be rude or anything, but aren't you a male? So shouldn't you be my godfather or something?"
"What gave you the idea that I am a male?" like any capable female, Kyuubi hated sexist comments, and kami forbid, if this kit is a sexist she will beat it out of him. Literally. Naruto, unaware of the thoughts of Kyuubi gave her a confused stare and replied, "I don't know, your voice is too heavy for a female. Plus how am I supposed to know what your gender is? You are not even my species."
"Does it bother you that the most feared demon in the history of this world is a female?" Kyuubi asked. Naruto shrugged his shoulder and said, "No, not at all. You wouldn't know but when I was in the orphanage, female caretakers tried to kill me more than the male ones with a lot more cunning and with a lot more planning. So I know very well what females are capable of."
Kyuubi felt sick to her very core. How could she forget about that incident so easily? She is proud for her gender because only her gender was able to bear children no matter the species. It was as if Kami Sama herself had blessed her gender with a small fraction of her power to create life. However, those incidents had made her ashamed of herself and her gender. Naruto is not a sexist; he thinks they are strong and cunning, but for very very wrong reasons. It would have been better if he thought that they are useless. At least that way with enough time and experience he would have understood that he was wrong. She would make sure to kill those bitches if she saw them again.
Kyubii felt this topic had gone long enough. It is time to do some actual talking for future plan and action. Personally, she does not want to stay in this village, but if Naruto wants then she will not force him to do anything he will not like, though she will make sure that it does not go that way. She can be very persuasive when she wants to be. However, either way she will train him and make him stronger. By any means necessary.
"Naruto... What would you like to do?" Kyuubi asked. "About what?" Naruto asked not understanding.
"I mean, do you want to become a shinobi of this village or do you want do something else? I mean I understand if you do not like this village but still you have to train if you want to survive you know. That man who attacked your parents, can and will attack you again. So if you want to have any chance of surviving you have to get stronger no matter what."
"Yeah, I know I have to get strong just for the right to live. But I do not want to become a shinobi of this village. If it was possible, I would have created my own shinobi village," Naruto answered.
Kyuubi felt very ecstatic after hearing this. She never liked this village, since the elders tried to take control of Kushina and train her as their own personal weapon. So she had a lot of anger towards them. So after hearing her 'almost' godson's wish she simply could not stop herself from babbling out, "Then what's stopping you? You have money no daimyo can compete. You have a country completely devoid of anything where you can build your own village. If you are thinking about allies, you do not need one right away. For possible comrades, you should try to find people of your age who are depraved or denied the right to become shinobi for one reason or another or who are not respected and/or bullied. You yourself haven't started training yet, so you should find kids of your own age or a bit older who will not only will be able to learn with you and can become your friend, but also will look up to you as their leader."kyubii said excitedly. "Better yet, the more personal relation you have with them the more they look up to you. Of course you should not take that kind of relation as granted, but it will definitely improve your teamwork and help build trust."
"What makes you so confident that a land completely devoid of anything will still be left alone for me to rebuild a village? And even if I could I wouldn't do something like that, it would make me look bad if they found out. I mean I will lose their respect, and a person who is not respected by his own friends, can never become an effective leader," Naruto pointed out.
Kyuubi replied, "Very intelligent and honourable as well, just like your parents. To answer your questions, only an Uzumaki or descendant of an Uzumaki will be able to step on that island, no one else if they don't have permission. And to answer your second question, it would have, if you just took something valuable but never returned anything, like their trust. Show them you are worth trusting, and they will never think like that. They will think what you are doing is best for them. If you actually encourage them to ask questions about your motives all the better. That way they will feel secure and will be eager to build a bond. Also, they will want you as their leader. However, you should show leadership qualities as well, like making the hard decisions. That way they will also know that you are not a pushover."
"Yeah, I get your point. I will think about it. So, about my training, anything on your mind?" Naruto asked hopefully. "Actually, yes I have. You know how I told about your mother entertaining the idea of me being your godmother. So how about I train you and few of your friends? As your godmother, that responsibility falls to me anyway. So, what do you say?" Kyuubi asked her young charge.
Naruto was excited beyond belief; he was going to be trained by the great Kyuubi with a few of his friends. Provided that he actually found friends.
Suddenly he had a question regarding his training. "Kyuubi Sama, I...""Naruto, I am like your mother you know? That crazy mother of yours was even thinking about naming me your godmother as I have already told you, so that practically makes us family. You do not need to add 'Sama' to my name. I would like it if you call me your mother. You can call me by my name if you'd like, and oh, my real name is Kurai. I am the eldest and most powerful of the nine biju."Kyuubi gently admonished Naruto. Naruto was gaping like a fish. After a few moments he timidly asked something, which Kyuubi did not hear. So she asked him to speak again. "I asked can I call you kyu-chan?" seeing a look of shock on Kyuubi's face he hurriedly added, "I-I wouldn't call you that if you don't want me to call you that. I was just... it is very hard for me. I never had a family and now suddenly I met you and you want me to call you mother, it's not easy for me."
"Yes, I know. I wish you would call me Kaa-san or kaa-chan, but I will not force you to that. Then you should call me kyu-chan if you like, I wouldn't mind Naruto kun." Kyuubi cut her adoptive son's nervous rambling. "Wha-what?" was all Naruto could say. "I said I would like you to call me your kyu-chan." Kyuubi gently repeated. It took all of Naruto's will power to hold back the tears threatening to spill. Kyuubi gently pulled Naruto into the cage by her tail and held him to her like a loving mother. That was all it took for Naruto to start crying. Kyuubi understood his feelings so she just held him close to her tighter.
After what felt like hours, Naruto finally stopped crying. He felt ashamed for showing this kind of emotional weakness. He thought that his new guardian will think that he is not worthy of the opportunity that she had given him. Knowing exactly what was going on Naruto's head Kyuubi loosened her grip on him and kissed his forehead and said, "Its okay Naruto kun. We all show weakness in some point and depend on our loved ones to support us, to help us to get back on our feet. It's okay to cry after all you have gone through, so don't be ashamed and let it all out. It is our bond with our loved ones that makes living easier and makes it a blessing, and these bonds to our loved ones, the trust and love that we feel towards them make us alive. After all, when we have someone we love and cherish and want to protect them with everything, only then we can find our true power." Kyuubi didn't understood at that moment by saying that what kind of monster she had unleashed upon the world, but even after learning that she will have no time beside being proud of her surrogate son.
After that, they just sat there for what seemed like a few minutes, Naruto finally succumbed to the event that had happened since his meeting with Kyuubi and fall asleep.
After he woke up, he saw that he was sitting on a woman's lap, a very beautiful woman at that. He yawned and saw that the woman was sleeping as well.
Naruto suddenly looked at the woman again. She had also started to wake up. When she saw that Naruto was looking at her funny she asked, "What happened Naruto Kun, are you okay?" Naruto simply looked at her for a few more seconds and asked, "Who are you and where is kyu-chan?"
Kyuubi was confused about what Naruto was saying. She looked at him and said that she is the Kyuubi. Naruto would have none of that and kept repeating that she was not the Kyuubi. There is no way a human is the most feared creature of the whole world.
After that, Kyuubi looked at herself and she remembered that she had transformed into her human form after Naruto fell asleep. "Naruto, it is me, your kyu-chan. This is my human form. We demons have three forms, beast form, hanyou form and human form", only after hearing that Naruto calmed down.
After that, they talked for few more hours. Then Naruto got confused. Seeing his confused look Kyuubi asked what happened and he answered, "I have woken up at least a few hours ago but I still don't feel hungry, I wonder why."
"It is because you are still unconscious Naruto." Kyuubi replied. "What do you mean kyu-chan?" Naruto asked not understanding. "Remember your hokage took you to the hospital and the doctors gave you sedatives? Well after that, you fell asleep and you still have not woken up. You are in your mindscape." "What's a mindscape?" Naruto asked.
"Mindscape is your subconscious mind where we are right now. Here three days will be only an hour in the outside world. Since here we have spent three days it means in the outside world only an hour has passed." "Wow," was all Naruto could say. Then he remembered something from their last conversation. "Hey kyu-chan, if you are sealed in me does that mean that you know what happened to me since the moment I was born?" Naruto asked. Kyuubi answered, "No, I could not. When I was sealed in you, I was asleep for first two years of your life. After that I slowly started to wake up."
"Then why you never talked to me till now if you are awake for last three years?" Naruto asked. "I never talked to you because I could not till now. For me to contact you, you had to first come to your mindscape or you had to be unconscious for me to bring you here and none of that happened. But now, since the link is established, I can talk to you anytime and you don't even have to come here all the time. We can talk through our link, all you have to do is think, and I will listen. This way I can warn you faster if something is going on around you."
After Kyuubi let that sink in for few seconds, then she again started to speak, "Naruto, the villagers, they tried to not only break your body but they also tried to kill you. Though you are alive, your body has suffered immensely. Every bone, muscle and ligament in your body is destroyed. You have to stay in here for at least for six months. Your bloodline from Uzumaki and my yokai would be enough to completely build newer, denser and stronger bones, muscles and ligaments, but it will take time. In outside world, it will be close to three weeks. I do not want you to wake up now, because this will be very painful. However, if you stay here in your mindscape you will not feel pain. In the mean time, I can teach you how to read and write. Is that okay with you?"
"Yeah it's okay." Naruto casually said. Kyuubi thought he didn't know how serious the matter was. "Naruto I think you do not understand how serious is this. Your entire body structure is destroyed and it has to be rebuilt completely." Naruto understood kyu-chan's confusion and said, "Kyu-chan I know that and I also know how serious the matter is, but right now I cannot do anything about that. What I can do is wait here with you and learn how to read and write. That way when I will wake up I will have one less thing to worry about and I will be able to fully focus on my training." Kyuubi was glad that even in this situation Naruto was calm.
After a few moments Naruto asked, "Hey kyu-chan, you heard about legendary sannin Tsunade's super strength right? Can I be that strong?"
"No, I was not building that strong bones, muscles or ligaments, but if you want I can make it a lot more harder and denser, not to that level but much more stronger than others. If I do that right, I think your strength will be four times more than your body weight. You will have one mean punch Naruto-kun if you train right. Once you start practicing chakra control you will be able to augment your strength a lot more" Was Kyuubi's answer.
"Is there any way that you can improve my reaction time and speed along with my strength?" Naruto asked.
Kyuubi thought for moment and said, "Yes there is a way, but it will take time. Just to build new bones, muscles and ligaments I will need at least two to three weeks. To improve your reaction time I have to improve your awareness, your brains processing speed, along with your senses like your eyesight, hearing and feeling of touch. As far as your speed is concerned, you already have good speed and with your new bones and leg muscles, you will be completely in a different level. However, it will take bit more time, at least a whole month. Are sure?" Kyuubi asked and naruto said 'yes' as it will have taken any normal person a lot more time and maybe a miracle just to survive the beating he received.
After a few moments of silence, Naruto asked that if there was a way to release her. When asked why he wants to know, he replied, "I want you to train me as you promised, but for that you have to be free. Plus I would like to hug you in real, not only in my mind." Naruto added the last part a bit bashfully.
"Aww, how cute, you want to hug me for real? I am very touched Naruto-kun. But no, the only way to release me is that you have to die, and I am in no mood in seeing my son die just after I have made contact with him after so many painful years, though there is a way I can come out from time to time in the real world but it will take time." After that, the conversation halted for a bit.
Then Kyuubi again started, "About your training, you don't need to worry; I have a few ideas how I am going to train you. Your chakra control will be a problem when you will start training so our primary focus will be your chakra control. Remember, I said that three days here could be only an hour outside? Well we are going to take full advantage of that. I am going to teach you a good chakra control exercise and a basic taijutsu form here, which you will practice when I am not teaching you how to read or write. It is a style, which you would be able to improve and upgrade if you want. Once you wake up, you will practice that form in your physical body and train your body to be stronger, because remember, though you will have more strength you will not gain it at once, it will be like your strength is increasing little by little. Because if you do not know how to use your strength properly it can be your downfall.
After one year, I am going to do something with your chakra. If that works, than you will have some-one legendary along with me training you. And if that fails I have a backup plan," Was Kyuubi's answer. After that, they took advantage of the situation and kept training in taijutsu, chakra control theory, trying to feel his chakra flow, reading, writing and whatnot. They kept at it for a whole month for outside world, but in his mindscape, Naruto received training from the legendary Kyuubi equivalent for almost six years. In this amount of time, most of his time was dedicated in learning how to read and write properly and learning general knowledge, geography from what Kyuubi remembered from her time with Kushina, the taijutsu style she was teaching Naruto, and of course feeling his chakra with some added basics in bo-jutsu, ken-jutsu training and learning about his parents. When he will wake up, Naruto will be a completely different person.
[REAL WORLD]
It has been over a month since the incident. Naruto's injuries were healed, but for some reason he still have to wake up. For this past four weeks Hiruzen had came to the hospital to check on Naruto and to keep the doctors from trying to do anything. He had forced the civilian council to work like the shinobi council to carry their own weight and do their work on their own so that he can have some time for himself. He found out that for at least a year or more the civilian council have been gradually increasing his paperwork and other duties so that he does not have any time to visit Naruto. He also found out that last year he was kicked out from the orphanage. After that, the first thing he did is he bought an apartment for Naruto so that he doesn't have to live in the streets anymore.
The civilian council was a pain in the ass to deal with. They tried to overrule him and questioned his authority about killing those villagers, but he simply reminded them about the law he passed five years ago. After that, they just kept their quiet.
Hiruzen was worried for Naruto. Despite his injuries, he should have been awake by now, his heritage and burden should have made sure of that. These past weeks he had organized his schedule and found that he has seven hours free to do whatever he wished. He decided to use this time to rest a bit and train Naruto in taijutsu, bojutsu, kenjutsu, basic ninjutsu and when he is a bit older, sealing arts. After all, what Uzumaki didn't know sealing?
However, for that to work Naruto first have to wake up. Just when he was about to give up for the day and head home, he heard groaning. He looked to side and saw that Naruto was waking up. He immediately called for a doctor.
After examining and clearing Naruto as perfectly healthy, the doctor left. Hiruzen asked, "How are you Naruto?" Naruto didn't know what he should say. On one hand, he was happy to see one person in the whole village, who looked at him like he was a human, but on the other, he was pissed beyond belief.
Naruto stayed in his mindscape for longer than necessary because Kyuubi had to warn him about a few things and had to tell him about a few more things. Among them was information on how Hiruzen had deliberately lied to him about the identity of his parents and his reasons for lying.
Naruto understood the reasoning, but to him it was not enough, because if he accepts the hokage's reasoning, than it means that, the village's security is not enough to protect him, the last heir to a clan and the son of a Kage and despite knowing this, he did nothing to correct it. And if that is true, then what about other villagers' safety, not that he cared much about them.
That's why he chose neutral voice to answer. "I am alright hokage sama, thank you for asking." Nothing could have hurt Hiruzen more than with the voice Naruto used to answer his question, but he understood why he did that. No child should go through the things Naruto had to. "Well doctors have cleared you, so you can go to your home. However, I would like it if you accompany me to my office. Is that okay with you?"
Naruto was about say no, but kyubii stopped him and said to follow him and see what he wants. She said that she felt that whatever it is that the old man wants it is nothing bad for him, but he was really tired and he didn't know what he would do if he went with his jiji without clearing his mind first. Kyuubi understood his reasoning and left it at that. "I am tired hokage Sama so I would like to go home for now and rest. After all you know how tiring it could be if you are beaten within an inch of your life by the villagers on your fifth birthday." His voice was full of bitter sarcasm. After that, he just left without even looking back. Hiruzen stood there dumbfounded. Naruto not only had blown his request, he had also deliberately lied. He knew for matter of fact that he had nowhere to go as the orphanage had kicked him out, and he was living in the streets for a whole year. He understood how much he had hurt the bundle of joy that he didn't shared his burden and pain with him.
He knew that he have failed his successor but he did not knew he have messed up this badly. He was truly ashamed of himself. He again vowed to Minato and Kushina that he would do all that he can to protect their child. But for now, he will wait. He is aware that Naruto is very tired and wants to rest, so he will give him the time. He was just hoping that Naruto would come around and he will again see the hyperactive ball of joy that made his day before.
A.N- well, here is the first chapter that I have been writing from who knows when. The writers who write awesome stories in this site are just awesome, because now I know how much work and time it takes to write a story and then make it so that at least the story becomes acceptable. So yeah all the writers have my salute. Damn, now I have to start on the second chapter.
P.S- just so you know, this is a god like Naruto fic. Why I am making him god like? Simple, because I can. No seriously, Naruto has such great potential, but I don't know why but Kishimoto simply did not use it properly. Academy was useless, Kakashi was an ass and he completely wasted his time with Jiraiya. So I am going to do exact opposite of it, and what is the opposite of completely idiot, almost useless waste of space Naruto? Correct, it is "A GOD LIKE NARUTO..." well that's my opinion on the matter; you can have your own.
P.P.S- yeah, well last time I forgot to say read and review (yeah, I know I am a bit clumsy sometimes, big deal ~,^)and all of you used that for all it was worth. So I am telling you this time, READ and REVIEW dammit... and no flames about deleting previous chapter, or how bad my writing is or for any other things. Constructive criticism is most definitely welcome; god knows I need it.
