I do hope you will enjoy it , and having an honest opinion might help me improve as a writer in the future. What I plan on doing is a Cross between Grandia II and Naruto . It will be rude with some gores and might contain major spoilers . You had been warned. So let us not wait any longer and dive into reading ! Enjoy !
Grandia II x Naruto – Redemption
Sixteen years ago , it was the end of the fourth ninja world war which brought the end of the lives of many men who fought for the victory of the allied shinobi forces against those who wished to conquer and rule over the great nations. The leaders of the hidden villages of Earth, Fire , Water, Lightning and Wind, along with the samurai of the land of Iron, formed a coalition army against Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha who declared war on the world.
Obito and Madara are both of the Uchiha clan, a clan who along with the Senju and other clans formed the first ninja village: The Konoha; the hidden village in the land of Fire, a movement that brought about the ending of the warring states period, and to set an example to the other nations. Sasuke, Obito and Madara are the last known survivors of their once big and powerful clan. Though Sasuke was Uchiha, he did not fight with his "brethren" but against them for the sake of a better world, or so he felt, a world ruled by him. Though his friend, Naruto Uzumaki , with whom he fought in the war, did not allow this to happen . More like a brother than a friend, he helped Sasuke see indeed a better world than what he had envisioned, dissipating the thoughts of a world ruled through dictatorship and giving way to his Sensei, Kakashi Hatake to become the new ruler of the Konoha with Naruto taking his place as the new Hokage, the leader of the village.
Having fought and won the war against Madara and Obito , Sasuke rather set forth to explore the world ,to seek answers , to learn and to better himself, while Naruto stayed behind to help work towards a better future from inside his village .
But though our story starts in the Konoha village ,it has its main focus on Neji's son, Kotori of the Hyuga clan. Also originating in the land of Fire, the Hyuga ,like the Uchiha, was a clan who had their power surging from their good chakra control and eye techniques. Neji used to be a boy who felt like "a bird in the cage", but he too changed his mind set after exchanging fists with Naruto in their childhood during their Chunin exams. In fact the impact left on him was so big that he had faith in this person and sacrificed his life saving his friend, Naruto.
Kotori is the boy Neji left behind with Nigiri , a girl from the Yuki clan during the war . They had an affair during the war. While they didn't reveal their relationship to anyone, this later came to light a year after the war, when Nigiri went to Konoha , damaged and covered in blood at the steps of the Hyuga house. She died with the child in her arms before she could explain what had happen. A mysterious death this was.
The Hyuga took the child in , where Hinata , Neji's cousin from the main family and soon to be head of the clan recognised him as her nephew as she was the only one who knew about him. He was taken into the branch family and was soon branded with a seal on his forehead, accordingly.
Kotori was now a 15 year old boy, walking through the village at a slow pace, the wind blew softly through his deep black hair, like his mother's, cut short at the chin.
"Tomorrow is the day I graduate from the academy…"-Kotori noded to himself-"Bastards … I can already oblivion everyone at once … the fuck do I need a passing exam for? Stupid!"…
"Oi! Kotori–Chan ! OI!" screamed a man thirty meters away. This man was tall, had short black hair, kind of bowl shaped, round eyes and a pair of fluffy eyebrows . "Wait up! Kotori - Chan!"
"Stop calling me Chan you thick browed cunt!" the boy replied more annoyed than angry.
"Sure thing, Kotori Chan!"
"What do you want from me Lee?"
The man's name was Rock Lee. Unlike most ninja, he couldn't manipulate his chakra; this resulted him in mastering Taijutsu, a path of hardship and training of the body and spirit through martial arts.
"Aw not Lee-Sensei? HMMM ?" Lee said grinning as his tooth almost seemed to sparkle."I just wanted to say good luck tomorrow Kotori-Chan! Hard work, training and dedication ! You show them what you're all about!"
"Hmpf! I don't need your lame ass encouragement. Wait and you see tomorrow. Tomorrow, is the day I graduate! Tomorrow I become ninja! Tomorrow I shall leave my mark on the world and all shall see the power I posses! Tomorrow I'll start my journey towards greatness as the world's most po..."
"Hahaha! That's great Kotori-Chan! Enthusiasm and strength! The powers of the youth!" Lee interrupted.
"You're a disgrace. Your appearance makes my eyes bleed. Go away." Kotori said as he went about his way.
"Oi!"Lee shouted back the boy.
"'The hell is it that you still want with me?" said Kotori with half a mouth.
"Good luck tomorrow, Kotori-San!" Lee said as he was going on about his way as well.
The boy smiled as he was walking away. Something he rarely does in fact. For some reason he always felt there was some darkness lingering about him. Was he emo? Was he a psychopath posing a danger to anyone? Some people thought, yet the world inside his head was misery and pain. There was indeed a darkness lingering about him, pulling him down.
Rock Lee arrived at his training ground only to meet Ten-Ten there waiting under a cherry tree. It was spring and the cherry flowers bloomed. The air was clean and the wind blew swiftly carrying petals on its wings. It smelt nice and the cherry flower petals rode the winds aimlessly. Aimlessly like a wanderer not knowing where he belongs, searching for a place where he can merge with his environment. The same way the stars merge with the sky, alone, yet at peace with the universe, shining with a small light. A small pretty light which can be seen across the blackness of the sky, holding its own , lonely, against the firm and strong bright of the solitary moon.
"Hello Ten-Ten …"
"Hey! Lee–Kun ! How are you ?" – spoke Ten-Ten cheerful - "How are you ? What happened to you? You don't seem your usual self !"
"I just bumped into Neji's son… He's quite the interesting one..." – Spoke Lee disturbed
"Hah! Tell me about it!"-Ten-Ten agreed-" That guys gives me the creeps . He is just a murderer. Slew his friend outside the walls of this village … Every time he stares at me with those eyes… GEH! Makes my spine go numb."
Long ago, Kotori and Will, a blond boy from a far away land were roaming outside the village walls. They were both around 8 or 9? Anyway, something happened that day and both boys were discovered covered in blood, with Kotori holding the other in his arms crying. And since there was no trace of absolutely anything or anyone around some assumed that the boy murdered his friend in cold blood. A story for another chapter, if you will.
"I sort of feel sorry for him. He seems so lonely and sad . Even if he won't admit it, his feelings of sorrow run deep!"-nodded Lee
"His feelings run deep alright! He hates other humans from the bottom of his soul ! Hell , I bet that abomination would kill us all if he could! Please, Lee , listen to me ! Stay away from him! I don't want you near that kid again! I lost Neji already, I don't want to…"-said Ten-Ten rushing the last part with a sudden stop.
"If you indeed cared so deeply about Neji-San, you should remember that this is his son you so hate. I myself don't think he's a murderer. Call me crazy but he has a gentle aura deep within. I know he has! Ten-Ten, I will protect this boy as he grows !" said Lee with a kind smile.
"Lee–Kun…"-tears were building inside Ten-Ten's eyes, but were gently brushed away by Lee's warm thumbs .
"This boy is part of Neji. That makes him a part of us!"
"Only you can make that sound so odd." Ten-Ten giggled.
"Wh-What do you mean by that?" Lee replied pissed off.
"Haha! Nothing! Let's train , yes?" smiled the woman and so they begun.
Lee and Ten-Ten trained until the beautiful red rays of the sun, slowly passed away behind the hill. They stood together and watched the sun painting the clouds a multitude of orange and red. The moment felt nostalgic and warm. Like something left forgotten and revealed once again, blowing with a warm breeze.
Near the center of the village , Kotori was walking alone through the streets. It was unusually quiet, the air felt heavy like a bad omen. Birds flew across the red sky. The sound of their wings whipping the winds was as loud as Kotori's steps hitting the warm sand on the road.
"Ah…"-the boy sighed-"All these birds… flying around the sky. Struggling … moving forward… doing the same thing over and over again… I wonder if they're truly free? Do they feel free? What is freedom? Are we humans free? Truly free? We all obey laws, and principles. If you don't obey a principle then you're an outcast, disposed of. If we can't decide our own actions, is that freedom? This thing on my forehead… why do I have it if I am truly free? No… there is no freedom in the near future… only death awaits us, …Death shall free us…"-Such thoughts were inside Kotori's mind.-"I don't want to die to be free… Humans take away my freedom! Filthy humans, dictating me! They should all die! Ruling over each other like everything is their…"
"Hello there ! How are you man? You seem to space out again! "-spoke a kind man with warmth in his voice. He had blue eyes, and dark blond hair. He was quite handsome, two years older than Kotori.
"Naga , please go eat a dick and die… can you do that for me my friend?"
Naga was a friend...or some sort... of Kotori who was found as an orphan soon after the war by Shikamaru, a shinobi of Konoha, and Temari, a kunoichi of the Suna village, belonging to the land of Wind. He was witty yet lazy his favourite sports including of nothing.
"Don't be like that ! I care about you ! Tomorrow is the academy exam, I saw you and came to say good luck!" –spoke Naga cheerfully.
"Hey Naga?"
"What is it my friend?"
"It is quite hard to find a nice penis at this late hour. But hey! I undo this zipper and take mine out so you can kindly feast upon it."-Smiled Kotori.
"And here you are with them rude disgusting jokes of yours. Don't worry though , there's still hope! Even for you..." said Naga with indifference and sarcasm.
"Why… jerk… you… "
"You are choking ! Here , a bottle of fine water to calm down your fabulous throat !"
"…"
"Ok, then you won't get any water."
"I don't need your water."
"Good, because you ain't getting any!"-Spoke Naga , laughing "I like you man! You may think that you are alone, but remember! You are not. Don't mind those stupid villagers. They barely know how to speak, don't expect for them to actually think! "
"…Naga…?"
"What is it?"
"Are we truly free?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing… never mind me. I'm leaving."-said Kotori walking away, only to have his shoulder grabbed by Naga's firm grip.
"No , you are not free. In order to become free you need to open up and let go of those dark emotions. They are covering up who you really are. You may not notice it but you're letting yourself be controlled by them. You seem like you hate humans. But... is it really the other humans you hate? Or is it your own weaknesses and shortcomings that are actually poking at you? I'll be here for you buddy, but you aren't a kid anymore. You need to stand up and actually use that big head of yours."-Spoke Naga with a more serious tone than usual.
"Hey … Naga…?"
"What is it?"
"…"-a tear was sliding down Kotori's white left eye-"Thank … you…"-then went away allowing his hair to nicely cover the falling tear until he was far away from Naga's eyesight, where he could quickly wipe it off.
The sun was no more to be seen. There was no moon above the sky and darkness quickly followed.
From the road that was in between the woods a man and a woman appeared. The man was old, with white hair, deep dark eye circles, but a warm look. His teeth were white, not stained by age. He wore brown clothes, and a small square cap.
The woman was young, around twenty five years old. Her hair was deep purple, tied in a ponytail, and her eyes dark blue. They almost looked the same colour as the hair. She wore some sort of Black skirt tied with a ribbon above a white shirt and blue pants. The shirt was tied around her belly with a purple ribbon and she had her hair tied with a white tiara sewed in multiple colours.
Izumo was at the gate half asleep. He heard a knock on the huge village gates.
"Huh? … Kotetsu , hey… Kotetsu!"
"mmmm…?"-moaned Kotetsu, the other Konoha village gatekeeper.
"OI! KOTETSU! WAKE YOUR SORRY ASS UP!"-Shouted Izumo.
"…why?"-Kotetsu still half asleep
Outside the walls, the old man and the woman could hear the conversation, with Izumo saying :
"Pull your sorry ass up!"
"I'm up ! I'm up ! Oh damn! It's stuck!"
"Stuck ? Again? Ok, I'm coming!"
"OUCH! Hey! Pull softer you jerk! It hurts me!"
"Grampa?..."-spoke the woman to the older man.
"No… I don't even want to know what in the name of Granas are they even doing."-Said the old man a little disturbed.
"Tee Hee! They seem like they enjoy each other! Is it not the word of Granas? To love each other?"
"I don't think that's what our kind Lord meant, my young daughter you."
The giant walls of the village opened. There was Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane questioning the old man and the young woman's business here. Yet both the guests couldn't stop giggling.
"…"-Stared Izumo
"Is there something on my face? "-Asked Kotetsu his good friend Izumo.
"Ha ha ha ! Kehheh! Please excuse us for arriving at this late a hour! We had some delay on our way here… Will you please let us come in? It is urgent that we speak to the lord Hokage! There is something very important we need help with! Please, is it possible?"-Begged the old man.
"Hm? It is not possible this late, I am sorry!" –But you can spend the night here, and talk to Hokage-Sama in the morning! Here, you can sleep at our guest room if you wish to."
"We thank you so much, OH! Kind sir!"-said the old man while he bowed down deeply , closely followed by his granddaughter
And so they went inside the village, gates closing behind them. Went to the guest house and went to sleep, waiting for the next day to come.
"Grandfather?"
"Yes child, what is it?"
"Will everything be alright?"
"I hope so my dear… I hope so…"
Hope you enjoyed it. Advice? Any mistake you might notice ? Please let me know ! Take care and have a wonderful day
