Chapter 1 – Their Fates Unwind
Konoha Ninja Academy
12-year-old Uzumaki Naruto sat alone in the back row of desks ignoring the loud murmurs of excitement and nervousness circulating around the room. Today was a day worthy of excitement and nervousness because today was the day of the genin test. If you pass the tests you will finally be an official shinobi.
Naruto was obviously uninterested in it though, especially since he knew that he was stronger than an average jounin. Although Naruto was only 12, he was a very accomplished 12-year-old. In fact had he not faked his 'stupid delinquent' mask he could even be called a genius or protégé. Even though Naruto was only 12, he had the soul of a battle weary man.
Naruto was raised in the Konoha Orphanage. He never knew his parents because they found him sleeping the Orphanage's front door step. The only artifacts found at the time were the blood scroll and a letter stuck in between his blankets. The only information on it was his name, Uzumaki Naruto, he was born on October 10th, the fact that his parents were dead and that he would be receiving his inheritance when he turns 8. And so, he did.
The first thing he was able to unseal from the blood scroll was a letter addressed to him.
Dear Naruto,
Hi there, son! How have you been doing these past few years? As for
me…if you're reading this, it is because I am no longer in this world. I started preparing this scroll for you the moment that I married your mother. I had a strong feeling that this scroll was going to come in handy one of these days, and I was right. I just want to say one thing before we continue with the letter. Naruto, no matter what you are or what you do, both your mother and I will always love you and support you.
Now let's continue with the explanation. Contained in this scroll are many of my jutsus and weapons. There are many different levels of seals placed inside this scroll. As you grow stronger, you will be able to open a stronger seal, so don't think that you can just open all the seals at once. Remember, one at a time. There will be further instructions as you go along and open more seals. I think that's all the explanations I'll give you for now. Go ahead and open the second seal.
Love,
Daddy & Mommy
After reading the letter, Naruto had set it down and unsealed the second seal. Once the cloud of smoke disappeared he saw that there was a letter along with a ring and another scroll. Carefully he picked up the letter, unfolded it, and started reading.
Naruto,
Sealed here is a ring and a scroll. First, is the scroll. It is the scroll that will teach you the basics of chakra and some of the skills and knowledge that a genin needs to know before they can learn harder, stronger, and more complex techniques. Once you master these techniques, you will learn how to unseal the third seal.
As for the ring, wear it around your neck where ever you go. Never take it off. Never allow anyone to see it. No matter what happens, the ring must remain with you. One day you will know the truth about the ring and when that day comes, you will have to decide which path you will take like I did.
Now get to it son, make me proud.
Love,
Daddy
P.S. Don't let anybody know of your abilities or strength. You must hide anything that you learn from here. Wait until the day there is something precious that you must protect. When that day comes unleash all your powers and protect it no matter what.
From that day on, Naruto wore the ring constantly around his neck and relentlessly studied each and every scroll that he unsealed. By the time he was 12, he had mastered most of the ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu that the lowest ranking jounins did.
He wasn't worried about the genin exam at all since he had planned to fail it from the very beginning. He didn't need to pass it since he had other plans with what he was going to do in the future.
"Uzumaki Naruto," the teacher said disgustedly as Naruto rose from his desk and stomped to the front. Many of the students snickered loudly while others jeered at him.
"Sensei, does he even need to take the exam? Just quickly fail him and get on to the next person. He is just a waste of time and effort." A certain pink haired girl jeered arrogantly. It was followed by loud jeers and shouts of agreement and high fives. "Yeah, sensei. The demon child isn't worth it."
The teacher simply snickered and told Naruto to follow him to the final testing room.
School was finally over and Naruto was the only student to fail the genin test. Naruto gave a brief grin when he heard the results, no one noticed his grin but for his only friend who was also sitting alone in the back of the classroom, in the corner opposite him.
His brunette friend stared at Naruto, confused. He was just told that he had failed and yet here he was grinning. Why? The brunette pondered on it for the rest of the school day. When they were finally dismissed, the brunette made his decision. I am going to follow him, since I know that he'll never tell me the truth. And so he did, just to be cautious, he hid his chakra signature and quietly followed his only friend out of the village and into the surrounding woods.
The brunette was amazed by what met his eyes. His blonde delinquent friend that everyone thought of as unskilled and stupid was definitely not so. The brunette watched with wide eyes as Naruto went through his taijutsu warm up. As Naruto twirled around, the fading sun caught onto something shiny around his neck. The brunette quickly glanced at it and noticed that it was a ring hanging on a chain around his neck. This was the first time that he had ever seen the ring. It seems like he was the only one who really saw them as friends.
When Naruto finished with his warm up, he pulled out the blood scroll and quickly unsealed it.
The brunette watched as Naruto pulled out a scroll from within his jacket pocket and opened it. He watched as Naruto pulled out another scroll and white sheet of paper from the first scroll. Naruto quickly attacked the white sheet of paper and, for the first time ever; he smiled a smiled that finally reached his blue eyes.
He was blown away by that smile. It was a smile that could rival the sun. He was shocked. This was the first time he had ever really seen Naruto smile. Through all the years he'd befriended Naruto, this was the first time Naruto had ever shown a true smile. Dazed, the brunette walked out of his hiding spot and asked, "Why don't you ever smile? Even though we've been friends since we were 7 years old, I had never seen you smile like you just did."
In a flash, Naruto had resealed everything in the scroll and placed it back into his orange jacket. He finally looked at the teenager standing in front of him. He was pale and had black hair that was shaped like a duck's butt and dark onyx eyes. He was wearing a blue shirt and white shorts with blue sandals, Uchiha Sasuke, the only other loner in his class.
"What are you doing here, Sasuke-teme?" Naruto growled as he glared at him, smile long gone.
Sasuke ignored the glare and continued walking towards Naruto. "Don't be so anti-social, dobe.'
"Really? If I'm anti-social, you must be a hermit." Naruto cut in sarcastically, glaring daggers at the Uchiha.
Sasuke brushed off Naruto's comment and asked with a glare of his own. "Why did you grin when you failed the test? From what I just saw, you are far from not qualifying. How strong are you really?"
Not really knowing how to answer him, Naruto continued to glare at Sasuke. "What I do or not do is none of your business, Uchiha."
A flash of pain flared through before he quickly masked it with anger. "It is my business, you usuratonkachi!" Sasuke growled. "To me you are like a brother. To me, you are an unforgettable member of my family just like my mom, dad, and Itachi. We all love you and worry about you a lot. You are a part of our family, so don't you dare say that it is none of our business you dobe." Sasuke finished, breathing heavily, hands clenching Naruto's collar after giving him a violent shake, black eyes flashing red.
Hearing the sincerity in his voice, Naruto lost his icy glare and turned his head away. "I know that." Naruto choked out before breaking Sasuke's hold and falling back onto his own feet, blue eyes downcast and dim. "But we are not family and I am not your brother. Itachi is your brother."
"We are brothers in every way that counts but blood." Sasuke growled in reply.
Naruto finally turned his blue eyes up and looked straight at him, "That is why we are not brothers. That is why we are not a family. You can say what you want to, but in the end, we are still not a family."
"We are a family," Sasuke shouted at Naruto. "If not family…then was there ever a time when you saw me as a friend?"
"We are not a family," Naruto stubbornly replied slowly backing away from him. "But I will tell you one thing to show you my gratitude for treating me as a friend." Naruto paused clenching his fists. "I am leaving Konoha tonight."
"What?" Sasuke asked stunned by this news black eyes flashing. "What are you saying, dobe," his dark eyes stared intently into Naruto's guarded blue eyes.
"I am leaving Konoha," Naruto turned away from Sasuke and started walking away. Sasuke could do nothing but stand in place shocked to his very core. After six steps, Naruto stopped and without turning around said, "Thank you Sasuke. Even though I hid many things from you, and am not even related to you, you still call me brother. I really did see you as a friend. You are very important to me, but it is time for me to go. I was hesitant at first but after I had signed the Summoning Scroll that was passed down to me, my resolve is finally firm. I'm sorry that I had never treated you as a good friend, but in my heart you are a precious bond and friend. I'll never forget you my dear…brother. No matter where I go, I will never forget this precious first bond that I had made with you and your family." And with that said Naruto disappeared in a swirl of leaves leaving in his wake a single drop of salty water which fell slowly to the ground.
"What the hell," Sasuke muttered before collapsing on the ground. "That dobe." A single tear trailed down his pale face, "A family does not need words like 'thank you' or 'sorry'. We just need each other. Friends are forever, time will not erase it." Silently he got up and made his way home. As he slowly made his way out of the woods he stopped and turned back to look at the place where he last saw Naruto disappear in a swirl of leaves. Sasuke cupped his mouth and screamed at the top of his lungs, "Naruto, we will always be here waiting for you to return because we are your family! We will wait for your return someday! So come back when you are ready to face us as a true family!"
"Someday, Sasuke. Someday." A silent tear fell down his whiskered tan face before he really left the woods.
Namimori, Japan
"So he is the little boy that you found on your doorstep 5 years ago." An old man in a purple flower print blue T-shirt and green khakis said as he sat across from Sawada Iemitsu, a gruff looking blonde haired man, observing the small child playing outside with his purple ball.
"Hai, Kyudaime. He is the boy we mentioned. It was 5 years ago that we found him on our doorstep. I had just returned from my 3 year long mission. He was wrapped in an orange blanket and found between its folds was this letter." Iemitsu stated as he handed the letter lying on the table to the 9th.
The old man turned away from the sight of the small boy playing with his ball and carefully unfolded the letter and started reading it.
Hello,
Thank you for taking in this child. His name is Tsunayoshi and was born on the 14th of October. Due to the circumstances we cannot tell you who he really is. Please take care of him and love him like we would have loved him if only we could. One more thing, if you find yourself unable to care for him then please contact CEDEF, they will take him in. Once again, thank you for taking him in and loving him in our place.
Sincerely,
Giotto
"Giotto, eh?" The old man muttered to himself absentmindedly tracing over the name with his calloused fingers. The instant he finished tracing over the name, a bright flame enveloped the letter and quickly devoured the letter leaving nothing behind but traces of ashes. Both the old man and Iemitsu stared at the ashes left behind with wide eyes.
"Did you see what the flames looked like? Tell me that what I just saw was not the imagination of an old man."
Iemitsu shook his head eyes also wide staring at the ashes resting on the Kyudaime's hands. "That was not your imagination, Kyudaime. I too saw it. The flames, they were so pure and bright as they enveloped the letter."
"There is no doubt about it, Iemitsu. This is the child that we have been waiting for for the past 200 years. He is Primo's child." The old man said gruffly as he turned his sight back to the laughing child playing outside. "He will be leading the next generation of the Vongola Family." The old man turned back to look at Iemitsu.
"Hai, Boss. With those flames, there is no doubt that that is Primo's letter. No one but Primo had the purest flames to have ever existed." Iemitsu nodded in confirmation. Suddenly they heard a loud cry from where Tsuna was playing followed by loud barks. Both of them quickly rushed to the doors and saw Tsuna being attacked (more like being licked like crazy) by a small dog.
The old man stayed back and watched as Iemitsu walked over and gently picked Tsuna up. It was because the old man was observing the child so closely that he was able to see the pure flames that had engulfed the child. These were so clean and pure that had he not been looking so closely he would have missed it. Iemitsu gently held Tsuna in his arms whispering gently trying to comfort the child and approached the old man.
"This boy has power." Iemitsu looked taken aback at what the old man had just said.
"However, it's still young." The old man extended his pointing finger with a flame burning at its tip. He reached forward and touched Tsuna's forehead with this finger. The moment he retracted his finger, Tsuna yawned and fell instantly asleep. "Good. Now his power will be unleashed when it's truly necessary. Now that it has been sealed, he will be able to live a normal life."
"Kyudaime…"
"If possible, I'd like to have you and this child live peacefully." The 9th said with sad eyes as he looked at the child sleeping innocently in his new father's arms.
"What do you mean, Boss?" Iemitsu asked as he looked into the 9th's sad brown eyes.
"Iemitsu, take good care of him. Let him live a normal life. When the time comes we will let him choose the life of a mafia boss or a normal civilian. Do not let anyone know of his existence because there are many who will come after his life if they know. And one more thing Iemitsu."
"Hai, Kyudaime?"
"Gather your most trusted men and search for him."
"You mean him?" Iemitsu asked eyes widening in shock.
"Yes. If Tsuna has appeared in this time, than it is only logic that he too has appeared in this time as well. Find him Iemitsu, I am sure that he doesn't wish to be alone any longer." The 9th finished firmly, his eyes glazed over with sadness and pain.
"Hai, Kyudaime. I will definitely bring him back to his family's bosom." Iemitsu promised, tightening his hold on the child sleeping innocently in his big arms.
