The Renegade:
Chapter One;
Prologue.
"Grandfather! Grandfather!" said a little boy with a bright smile as he ran up to an old man with a long grey beard and hair, who sat in a chair. "tell me a story."
"haha, Oh alright." chuckled the old man as he gave the young child a smile. "go and get your story book."
"No! not one of those, a REAL story." said the boy.
"a Real story?"
"yes, tell me about when you were a boy." the child said with a slight demand in his cheerful voice.
"well then, i would have to take you back with me a long way in time..." said the old man as he picked the boy up and sat him on his lap. as he gained a nostalgic visage. "it was my 13th year, on a hot summer night, the night i became a genin..."
in the deserted forest, sat a boy reading a large scroll that laid upon his lap, with tears falling from his azure blue eyes, his lion mane blonde hair overshadowed his face letting only the tears to be seen fall on to the note he held in his hand.
'My dearest Naruto,
when you are old enought to read these words, their meaning will unfold. these words are all thats left, though we never met my prescious son, i would have been there to watch you grow.
but your bastard father had used my life to save his hide, he has placed upon you my son, a burden unlike anyother. the night of your birth he sealed within you...
the Kyuubi no Kitsune.
i am so sorry... I could only pray that you would be seen as a great hero for your scarifice. though knowing the fears of the villagers that is not the case, Naruto at the bottom of this letter, is a seal and in this seal is a gift of power unlike anyone has ever,not since it's creation by your and my own forefather.
The Claw of Animus.
legends says that if you use this could rip open a portal between realms. but no one not since the creator could use this weapon. i could only hope you could use this family heirloom, when all others have failed.
and naruto sweety, if the villagers do not treat you with the respect you so deserve... destory them all. use the Claw of Animus to travel the realms. train to become stronger then all stand before you and shun you.
We are Uzumaki long decenteds of the chaos bringer, the world eater, the dark god of destruction. no matter the name he goes by. we are still his children, born for war, we are skilled beyond all mortals of this plain of existance.
I love you so much naruto.
the princess of Uzushio
your loving mother
Kushina Uzumaki'
'P.s. give me lots of grandbabies to spoil.'
dispite the depths of the emotional letter in his hand he could not help of give off a small chuckle at the small message at the end of the letter.
but lookung at the seal at the bottom that looked like a five pointed star with the five elemental kanji between the gapes of each point, that encircled a dragon encircling itself forming the Swirl that made the Uzumaki Clan symbol.
bitting his thumb and smearing a blood trail across the seal, this caused the seal to glow in rainbow colors before errupting in a cloud of smoke. now laying in his hand was a simple looking bracer with a 4 inch claw between the middle knuckles with two small metal 11/2 inch spikes on either side of the claw.
seeing that naruto had already mastered the shadow clone jutsu before he figured he could learn more jutsu until he found the letter from his mother. now he just sat there with the bracer on his left arm. he was amazed by the craftmenship of the bracer, that depicted ancient symbols that ran across the the metal. but it was the symbole on the back of his hand that caught his attention the most. it looked to be an eye on its side with the tip almost touching the base of the claw, but it was the center piece, the one that looked to be the uzumaki symbol surrounded by five gemstones, with each cut in a shape of an element.
Ruby cut into four pieces, with a small circular gem with three long wavy ovals. making it look like fire.
Jade cut into two pieces, that looked to be a green version of the yin and yang symbol.
Sapphire cut into a simple tear drop.
onyx cut into three pieces, with two cut into triangles with a diamond shape fitted betwen the two triangles, together making a larger triangle.
finally golden topaz to which was cut into a bolt of lightning.
naruto could only admire that detail of the masterpiece, just when Iruka arrived.
"NARUTO, i finally found you." said Iruka with a stern visage on his face. "do you have any idea how much trouble you are in right now? I admit pranking is all fun and good, but stealing the forbidden scroll is counted as treason."
iruka contiuned his little rant about naruto's irresponsiblity and disregaurd for fallowing rules.
"and another thing you-" Iruka stoped his rant noticing that the scroll had naruto's surname on it. and the letter in his hand. he asked carefully as he knew whatever naruto found in that scroll lead to his parents and could only hope it was something good, at least once in the young blondes life should have some form of love and hope know his parents loved him. "naruto, whats in your hand?"
"it's a letter from my mother." was all he could say as the cheerful grin on his face slowly became a frown before choking on the next words. "Always knew atlest one of my parents loved me."
this broke Iruka's heart seeing boy infront of him that he considered a brother in all but blood, who had his head down shaking like a leaf as the tears slowly began to fall onto the forest floor.
"Naruto..."
"Dont worry about it, I lived this long without them. I could last another 13 years, maybe even longer this time. Believe it!" said naruto with false cheer.
"Nar-" Iruka was cut off as he pushed naruto out of the way as a oversized shuriken flew pasted them.
"damnit Iruka, ya made me miss the little shit." said the annoyed Mizuki.
"Mizuki, what are you doing?" demanded Iruka as he used himself as a human shield, standing between Mizuki and naruto.
"Isn't it obvious? I am trying to kill that hell spawn behind you." said white haired chunin as he sucked his teeth perparing another shot at throwing another fuma shuriken.
"I will not let you harm Naruto!" iruka declared as he pulled out a kunia.
"tch, Oh well." said Mizuki with a shrug with his shoulders as he threw the shuriken. "NOW DIE, DEMON BRAT!"
"Run Naruto!"
-cannon time line until after Iruka's confession.-
"Lay a hand on my sensei... and I will KILL YOU." said naruto as the gem started to glow thier respected colors. "RERUMU NI GETO O AITE KUDASAI, TENSHU!(open the gates to the realms. Lord of heaven!)."
with a swipe of his left arm naruto was jumped into the tear of time and space.
leaving Iruka in a state of shock at seeing his brother jump throught the now closeing portal, and a stunned mizuki at seeing the demon brat vanish from sight, thinking it had gone back to the depths of hell.
this did not last long until not four feet from the now closed portal, opened another and stepping out on the grassy floor of the forest. stood a young man in his mid-teens, he wore a black lion pelt like a hood and a right shoulder cape/skarf, on his right shoulder a golden neck plate with the wrapped around his bottom of his neck and reached down to the middle of the upper chest displaying a golden disk in the middle of the golden chest pieve but the head of some sort of dog most likely a jackle with a head dress engraved into it. his legs wrapped in apair of moccocins that came up to the knee made from black bear fur, and on his left shoulder was a gladiator should and sleave armor with what looked to be a pair of ivory horns from a rhino mounted proudly on his shoulder piece, and he wore dark orange or and offset brown leather leggings.
pulling back the lion head that covered his head was a metal mouth piece that had a carving of a beastial snarl with sharp teeth.
"after three thousand years... I have returned." said the young man with a deep thoaty voice like large bolders grinding against one another, before he turned to Iruka, the once dull looking blue eyes widen turning into a bright azure blue, as the young man pulled the mouth gaurd off. revealing six whisker marks on his cheeks. "hey Iruka-sensei, you havent changed a day, since i left."
"N-Naruto?" asked the scard chunin.
"yeah, but to behonest... I have been known by a lot of names." said the now named blonde as he had gained a small smile. before turning his sights on Mizuki. "Now, I am going to have some fun with you, Mizuki-teme."
with a puff of smoke in his right hand was a large iron spiked club.
"I have been know by many names since i was last here." said the blonde as he took a step forward. "I am Spartarus; the Bull of Sparta."
with a large swing of his club he caused one of the trees he hit to fall with a loud explosion from where he had hit.
"I am Animikee Odayin, Thunder Heart of the Plains Cree." throwing his club at mizuki who just barely made a jump in time to advoid the thrown weapon that literally oblitorated the top part of the tree he was just in.
"I am Atall-Ulfr, the Fierce Wolf of Midgard and adopted son of Odin the All-father!" he said as he pulled a small hand from behind him before holding it infront of him. "fly straight and strike true, GUNGNIR!"
soon the hand grew into a long spear with a trident like spear head that looked to be a raven with its wings tucked in while doing a dive. as he threw the weapon, which cut threw the all the trees in a six foot radius of the spear edge.
"I have fought the king of beasts and slayen it, now wear the beasts hide." showing the black lion's fur that slowly gained a metalic shine as mizuki had thrown a few kunia that glanced off the fur. "it's own hide is my personal shield against both the elements and weapons."
"i have slayen Frost, Rock, Fire, and Thunder-Giants, and the great serpent of the seas, as well had rode across the rainbow bridge; the Bifrost, upon back of the eight legged stead: Sleipnir." said Naruto as his right bracer summoned a sword engulfed by the darkest red flame known to mortal kind. "let me introduce the weapon of the Fire-Gaint; Surtur. this is Ellrihiti; the Ancient Flame. A sword forged by the heart of the oldest of red stars by Surtur Juton himself."
with another sword appearing in his left hand, and being a stark contrast from the red and gold sword in his right this sword was a light blue and silver blade that reaked of death and the cold. "this is sword on the other hand; i made it myself. forged it from the heart of first Frost giant i have slayin, this is Bani-jotnar; the Slayer of Frostgaints."
he began to swing both blades creating archs of fire and ice that flew toward the tree in which mizuki was hiding in, still they did not hit the their target, as mizuki narrowly dodged the two waves of fire and ice.
"all that power and still you can not hit me." yelled mizuki in a tuanting tone.
"who said i was trying to hit you?" said naruto as he drew a questionible look from Mizuki. "i was herding you."
before mizuki could question the blonde he felt trumendous amouts of pain coming form his back through his to the front of his lower abdominal area, looking down he saw the tip of the spear in which naruto had thrown earlier in their fight, soon he felt something hit the back of his legs sweeping him backwards in mid-air, as he fell he saw the club spinning past, knowing it was the acursed club the allowed him to fall. soon Mizuki felt the terrible pain of being impaled as the but end of the spear struck the ground, forcing hims further down the spear. feeling the outter edges of the spear pircing his kidneys and liver. he knew he was done for.
Naruto walked over to mizuki and slowly reached out his hand and gripped mizuki's face and slowly began to drain him of all he knew, from all the jutsu he knew, which where very little, and the secrets he held; deals with currupted members of the council and Orochimaru.
"May lady Hel, torture you damnible soul. you traitious piece of shit." he spat out as he lifted his spear from the ground, planting his foot on the back of mizuki and pulling free Gungnir from the now dead traitor's back.
sealing away his weapons and clothing and decided to wear fur outfit made from black bear and wolf hides. making him look like a furry stereotypical ninja.
"hey Iruka-sensei, lets go see the old man, and boy do i have a story to tell you guys." said naruto as he started to run toward the hogake tower.
"lets stop here, its bedtime." said the old man.
"but Grandfather!" whined the young child.
"No buts, i will continue this tale, tomorrow night, Now off to bed with you." said the old man with a chuckle from the child as he hurried off to bed.
