"NANI?! What the hell happened here? Where is Itachi?!"
"Calm down Vu-kun, and I'll explain what happened here. The night you left the whole Uchiha clan was wiped out save for Itachi's little brother, Uchiha Sasuke. From what we could... get out of the boy, Itachi did it." Said the Sandaime Hokage in a calm and collected voice.
"Bloody Hell! Why would he do such a thing.... Itachi...." Cursed Vu as he left the Hokage's chambers.
After 2 weeks from his mission, Vu had returned to Konoha to visit Itachi and show him the new scroll that contained a very powerful technique. Vu's mission consisted of going deep within a forest for reconnaissance work when he stumbled upon a small hut.
Upon entering the hut, a strong aroma filled his nose as he spotted a elder man sitting at a table eating. Relaxing for a second the old man threw a pebble at his face, which was easily avoided.
"What the F.."
"Ah, so you are a shinobi." Clearing stating it as a fact instead of asking. "I thought I sensed a great power in you.."
"What are you doing here, sir, this is a dangerous part of the forest, infested with many bandits."
"It's okay gaki, I'm an old hermit, and I sense my time is near anyways, they're here for these two scrolls." As he finished his sentence, he lifted up his right arm to show the two scrolls he was talking about.
"Wait a minute, are you...?"
"Yes, I'm the one who hired you.... Vu-kun"
"How did you...."
"There's no time to explain that now, here are the 2 scrolls, the Akatsuki are here..." handing him the 2 scrolls.
"The who?"
"The Akatsuki, a group of extremely powerful ninjas, are here to take these scrolls, I'll hold them off and you return to Konoha. I also must ask you to watch over Naruto, he is the future hope of Konoha as well."
"Naruto? Hmm.. he is the hope of Konoha. Very well oya-gi, I'll watch over Naruto and protect these scrolls." And with that Vu put the 2 scrolls in his vest.
------------------------
"Come out old man, and hand us the scrolls." said a deep dark voice.
"Run gaki, I'll keep them occupied." Said the old man, pushing Vu out the window. After landing outside, Vu sprinted quickly away from the house.
Don't worry oya-gi, I'll keep our promise, and take care of Naruto.
------------------------
"Why are you fighting us old man?" said the dark cloaked figure. "You can't beat us, just hand over the scrolls."
"Over my dead body, you soulless bastards"
"So be it." And after a few hand seals, "I'll even go easy on you, Katon – Karyu Endan!" The wave of flame completely covered the old man and his entire house.
"Suiton – Seijin Heki!" A water barrier appeared and covered up the entire house, protecting the old man.
"Ha ha, I might be old, but I can still fight, let me show you something, you monster." Blue charka started leaking out of the old man's body, and the ground started to tremble.
"Old man, what do you think you're doing?"
"Now, the Eighth gate, the Death gate, KAI" yelled the old man, as his whole body turned black from his chakra. "I might not be able to kill you, but I can still hurt you enough to slow your ass down!"
Both fighters disappeared from view as punches and kicks were heard resonating throughout the forest. The Akatsuki member saw an opening in the old man's attacks, and sent an open palm strike to the old man's chest, pushing him into the ground leaving a giant crater.
"Hmm, not even worth a good fight" said the cloaked figure as he slowly walked away from the house. And with a snap of his fingers, the entire area surrounding the old man exploded in a fire frenzy.
"If I can't have those scrolls, no one can." And a maniacal laugh was heard as the figure vanished into the night.
----------------------
Upon returning to his small apartment, Vu took out the 2 scrolls, and found a note-tag attached to each of them. 'Kai' and the tag from the red scroll fell harmlessly into his hand. Picking it up he carefully read the contents.
In this scroll I have imprinted my ultimate Katon ninjutsu. I call it the "Bakuretsu Knuckle" There are 5 different stages in learning this technique. If you want to open the scroll then perform the following seals and say "Kaiin": Boar-Dog-Dragon-Goat. I leave the rest to you.
Ultimate Katon skill? Vu's eyes widened greatly as he placed the red scroll down and picked up the other yellow scroll. 'Kai' and another tag fell into his hand.
No WAY!! A Kuchiyose scroll?!
-----------------------
The next morning, Vu awoke to the sound of bird chirping outside his window sill. Groggily getting out of bed, he quickly remembered the last request the old man wanted from him. Watch over Naruto...
Hmm I better go find the boy. And with that, leapt out of his apartment and began to scan the village. If I were a little boy where would I be? After about an hour so jumping from rooftop to rooftop, he finally found the Kyuubi kid at the playground.
What the F.? Why are the adults acting so cold to the little kid? He's the hero of this village, not a monster. Landing safely at a distance, he casually walked over to one of the mothers and tapped her on the shoulder.
"Yes sir, can I help you with something?" asked the mom with the most sincere smile.
Why that two-faced..."Umm.. Ma'am why is it that everyone hates Naruto?" countering her question with another one.
Her face turned from the most sincere to one with the most evil sneer. "That monster?! He killed my boys, and almost destroyed this village." Vu looked around and saw that many other parents were frowning and all nodded in agreement.
Hmm no use trying to reason with them, it seems they still hold a grudge. Looking back towards Naruto. I just wish that they weren't so narrow-minded.
Walking up towards Naruto, he holds his hand out. "Hey gaki, what's your name?"
Looking up, Vu can see that he's been crying because of the other kids not playing with him. "My....n...name... is... Naruto..." He then quickly flinched and put his arms above his head. "Please don't hit me."
"Hit you, now why would I do that?" Vu looked at his innocent blue eyes. His eyes are completely innocent, he hasn't been corrupted by this cruel world...why can't everyone else see that?
"Because everyone else does....."
"Well I'm not going to Naruto, oh, and by the way, name's Vu, how about we get something to eat?" Looking down he saw Naruto grin as he nodded frantically.
And it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship
Reviews? :D
