In the land of fire, hidden in the trees there is a village that goes by the name of Kohona. The village is home to many great shinobi's and the hokage, the man who runs the village. But this is not about him, no this about one of the ninja that claim Kohona to be their home. And the name of that ninja is Naruto Uzumaki, a spiky haired, blue eyed, young boy. During his years of living in the leaf the boy had been through hardships like no other, pain that most shinobi wouldn't Imagine, but he manages to push through it and continue being the best he can, but something was about to push him to the edge.
"Naruto Uzumaki!" Yelled Mizuki a so called chunin of the village in the leaves, towards the boy who stared up at him with wide eyes. "You are the Nine Tailed Fox! That's why everyone hates you! You're a demon that had ruined our village, now go ahead and die!" With that final statement Mizuki tossed a giant shuriken towards the shocked Uzumaki boy who didn't have the strength to move out of the way. "Narutoooo!" Iruka yelled, charging over to Naruto in attempt to take the hit.
Sadly he was too late and the shuriken impaled Naruto, as he was hit, Naruto's whole world turned black. He was floating in a black abyss, with tears flowing of his eyes. "Young Uzumaki, go back. It is not time for you to pass..." A voice emanating from seemingly everywhere told him. Naruto didn't even care anymore, he didn't want to do this, he didn't want to have to deal with being hated everyday, running from mobs, not having anyone who loved him. He just wanted to rest. "I can't do it anymore...I want to sleep..." The voice sighed and nodded and saw Naruto close his eyes, accepting death.
"Things cannot end here. I suppose another soul will have to do the job..."
Somewhere else, there is a boy walking down a street of what looks like a bustling city. He seems to be an African American, with pitch black hair, and around the age of 14. He is staring down at his phone when he gets to a light, and seems to be watching an episode of Naruto on his phone. "Broooo, Naruto got mad hands. He giving Sasuke the work." He grinned and thinking the light had turned green and began walking. Unknowing to him a truck was speeding his way.
As the Episode ended he began hearing the loud honking noise. He turns and watches in slow motion as the truck advances towards him. 'You'll be just fine.' A voice in the back of his head spoke. And that was when he spoke his last words. "Shit." As he was hit by the truck everything around him turned black as he closed his eyes.
He eyes flashed open as he sat up quickly and looked around. Everything for what seemed miles was black, and he had no idea where he was. "What in the world?" He mumbled to himself and continued to look around until he eventually spotted something in the distance. It was a body laying down, but in a bright orange jumpsuit. The male slowly advanced towards the figure until he was right in front of it.
As he began to realize who it was his eyes became wide in amazement, shock, and disbelief. "No fucking way! Is this Naruto!? Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god..." He continued repeating that until a voice spoke, making him jump.
"Calm yourself boy. Everything will be explained." The voice said and the boy gulped and nodded. "Now, what is your name?" He asked and the boy blinked. "Uh...I'm Bryon." He said while rubbing the back of his head. "Well, Bryon, let me explain to you, while you're here. You know that boy as Naruto Uzumaki. In your world, his life is just a show that you all watch, you believe it to be made up, just for entertainment. But what you might not know is that their world is an actual one, going on alongside yours. Following me?"
Bryon blinked once more and nodded slowly. "Yeah, basic fanfiction type stuff. So why am i here exactly? You're just explaining why i'm seeing Naruto Uzumaki in a abyss of basically black and wh-" He was interrupted by the voice.
"Shush i was getting to that." The voice cleared his throat and continued. "Well, events can change. Even the smallest actions can change the course of history drastically. And the history was changed a few minutes ago. Mizuki managed to kill Naruto, Iruka wasn't fast enough and the shuriken impaled the boy. We both know how bad things will get without Naruto's help, but Naruto doesn't want to go back, and i need a new soul to take over...That soul is you."
During the whole explanation Bryon's heart was racing fast, his eyes wide, still having trouble believing what he was hearing. "B-but why me? You could have picked stronger people, more athletic, smarter people. Why me? Well, i'm not complaining, i'm just asking."
"Well, you have extensive knowledge of the Naruto world, plus you're a young one who died too early. I just have a feeling that you will make an interesting impact on the world. So, what do you say child, will you take over the body of our Uzumaki and affect the Ninja world?" Bryon didn't even have to think as a grin crept onto his face, the excitement and answer easily seeable on his face. "Of course i will! You don't even have to ask me twice!"
The voice chuckled and nodded. "Then get ready, because we cannot wait anymore. I wish you the best of luck." Suddenly both Bryon and Naruto rose into the air, a golden light surrounding the both of them. The light got brighter and brighter, to the point where it could blind the ones looking at it. With a mystical jerk, Naruto and Bryon smashed into each other in an explosion of golden light.
Opening his eyes Bryon, well, Naruto looked around. He could hear the voices of Mizuki and Iruka arguing. "I'll make you pay for that Mizuki! Naruto was just an innocent boy!" Mizuki laughed as if he heard the funniest joke ever. "Innocent boy? I did the village a favor by killing that demon! I should be honored as a hero."
Naruto rolled his eyes and slowly rose to his feet. "Mizuki, you're voice his so annoying..." The two Chunin looked over to Naruto in shock as he was standing with a look of annoyance on his face. But really got them was how he now looked. He had brown skin, just like Bryon's, and pitch black hair. But he managed to retain the blue eyes and those signature whiskers. Merging Bryon's soul with Naruto's body must have change features a bit.
"N-naruto! You're alive! What happened to you? Why do you look so different?" Iruka asked, confused, but glad that Naruto was back. But not everyone there was happy for Naruto to be back. Mizuki had a look of pure rage on his face.
"You...YOU DEMON! You refused to die! Why don't you stay down and die you little mutt!?" Mizuki pulled out another shuriken, but on instinct Naruto put his fingers in a signature position. "Not this time. SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" He yelled and with puffs of smoke what seemed like hundreds of clones began to appear all over the area. Even though this surprised him quite a lot, Iruka jumped over to Naruto's side.
The hundreds or maybe even thousands of clones stared down at Mizuki like hungry wolves ready to pounce on their prey. "You're not going anywhere with that scroll! And you will never hurt anyone else again!" The clones jumped down and began pounding on Mizuki non stop, hearing his screams of pain put a small little smile on Naruto's face. 'Oh my god! I'm such a badass for that! I always wanted to use Shadow Clones! I didn't really think i would be able to form them.'
As he was thinking to himself in his head Iruka just stared down at him with a small little smile.
Time passed and Naruto and Iruka where sitting against a tree. "Naruto...Don't listen to what Mizuki said. He was just an evil fool who would do anything he wanted to get his way. You're amazing for what you did, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise." Naruto gave Iruka a close eyed smile and nodded. "Of course."
Iruka chuckled and got up. "Close your eyes. I have a present for you." Already knowing what was next, Naruto kept his eyes closed and soon felt a headband wrap around his head. He opened his eyes and grinned. "Naruto Uzumaki, you are not a official Leaf Genin. Congratulations." Naruto jumped up hearing that and yelled with happiness clear in his voice.
But soon he stopped and turned to Iruka. "Uh Sensei." Iruka tilted his head. "Yes?" Naruto rubbed the back of his head a bit with a chuckle. "You mind giving me some money for new clothes? I'm getting real tired of this orange." Iruka couldn't believe what he heard and fell face first into the ground. Naruto blinked and walked over to Iruka and began poking him. "Uh, Sensei...Sensei?" He continued poking him and laughing nervously.
'This was going to be one hell of an adventure.'
Naruto sat in the Hokage's office staring at the third, as the third stared back at him. "So Naruto, i see you have had some changes after you decided to steal the scroll." He laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah, i think i read a jutsu and it kinda permanently changed my looks." That was the best story he could come up with at the moment.
The third held the scroll and stood up from his desk. "Naruto, what you did was very dangerous and stupid. If Mizuki had gotten out of the village with this scroll in his hands who know what could've happen?...But i'm also proud because you managed to learn a very complicated jutsu and defeat Mizuki so we could apprehend him. You made me proud. One day you will truly become one of the greatest ninjas out there."
Naruto jumped to his feet and gave him a thumbs up. "You know it gramps! Well, i gotta go! See you!" As he headed for the door he was stopped by the third. "Hold on Naruto. Iruka told me how you wanted to buy new clothes." He turned and caught a pouch of money. "That should be enough to get a good couple of outfits."
Naruto laughed and put it in his pocket. "Thanks!" He ran to the window and hopped out of it. He landed outside and dashed over to the Ninja store. With his speed he managed to get their quickly and made his way inside. These owners didn't seem to have a problem with him and he began browsing. 'Alright, time to get out of this orange.'
He thought about his own personal favorite colors as Bryon and found outfits that consisted of Black and Purple. He went into the changing room and tossed them on. Soon he looked in the mirror and grinned at himself. He was wearing a black shirt and a black sleeveless jacket with a dark purple uzumaki swirl on the back with the name 'Naruto' in purple on it right above it. For lower wear he wore black shorts with black and purple combat boots that seemed to fit him well.
"Woahhh, i look great!" He tightened his headband and walked out, grabbing multiple duplicates on his way. Along with the outfits he bout himself a set of beginner weights and some books on chakra control and jutsus. He paid for the items and made his way home.
'I'm going to be the stronger Ninja out there, even stronger than the original naruto, and all the hokage!'
He told himself as he went inside of his apartment and sat down at the table, putting his books down and tossing his clothes on the bed. "Alright, this is gonna be one long ass night."
