Chapter 2: My Demons

(Flashback, 6 years ago)

(Naruto 10, Naruko 9, Menma 8, Narumi 7)

"Narumi, Menma, Naruko come here for a second please, your Kaa-chan and I want to talk to you!" A male voice resounded throughout the house, easily heard by everyone it originated from a blonde male in the living room. The three siblings that were playing outside started filing in the house and each sat on their favorite spot in the room. One of the kids was a girl that looked to be around nine. She had long straight red hair that reached her waist, violet eyes and wore a long sleeve pink shirt with the red Uzumaki-clan swirl on her back, blue jeans and white shoes, she was Naruko the second oldest of the Uzumaki-Namikaze siblings, the other kid and the only boy sat across from her, he had jet black hair and he had similar blue eyes like his father and brother and near identical facial features as his oldest brother Naruto, he wore an orange shirt with a dark blue jacket on top of it and also black jeans with matching shoes, he is Menma the second youngest of the siblings being eight years old, and finally the last girl was sitting in her mothers lap. she had blonde hair with red strands all throughout almost making it appear orange in spots and completely red in others, her hair was in long twin tails almost reaching her ankles and her eyes were a light blue with a purple hue, she wore a short sleeve white shirt and brown jeans with matching boots, she is Narumi the youngest of the siblings and proud tomboy.

"Ok Tou-san!" The trio said as they went inside the house to see what their parents wanted to talk about. When they got in the living room they saw their Kaa-chan and Tou-san there with smiles on their faces making the kids curious.

"Tou-san Kaa-chan why are you so happy. Has something happened?" Menma said curious

"Well why don't you sit down with Narumi and Naruko in the sofa so we can tell you?" Kushina said, she had red straight hair and violet eyes, she wore the CCG investigator uniform that consisted of a trench coat with a buttoned white shirt and with a combat skirt, also she had boots and stockings covering her legs The distinguishing feature that she and her husband shared were Uzumaki swirls on the back of their coats. When the kids were all settled down in the sofa and Kushina's lap Minato cleared his throat preparing to give an announcement.

"Well me and your Mother had a long talk yesterday and we decide to start your training for you to join the CCG!" Minato said with a smile, he had spiky blond hair with jaw length strands of hair framing his face, he wore the uniform of CCG investigators but male version, he has a trench coat with a white buttoned shirt, Also with the Reddish orange Uzumaki swirl on the back of his trench coat signifying that he was special officer class. he also has the standard issue black pants with matching combat boots.

When Minato finished his sentence the He was met with an eerie silence. Then screams of joy and kids jumping around like crazy people, they were about to achieve their dream, finally starting on their training to become members of the CCG, To say they were estatic would be an understatement. "Really Tou-san you aren't joking right!" Narumi said excitedly, but she had a feeling That something or someone important to her was missing this special moment in her life, Naruko also had the very same feeling feeling while Menma Just brushed it off in a cold display of hatred for his brother clearly choosing to forget but hiding his emotions well. With a happy laugh from Minato and a giggle of joy from Kushina they both nod to their kids just to be hugged by the three of them saying "Thank you so much, this was our dream and it's finally happening!". What they didn't notice was that in the kitchen was Naruto who was getting for for himself at the time and ended up hearing everything, to say he was furious was an understatement.

'I can't believe it! I ask for that training just two weeks ago and they said no and then they -out of nowhere- Just ask the others if they want to train! That's not fair!' Naruto thought with angry tears running through his face at the thought of his dreams being crushed and stomped under his parent's feet. With a quiet sob he silently made his way to his bedroom forgetting the food he prepared. All the while thinking on how any parents could be so cruel to any of their children. They oh so obviously didn't want to acknowledge him at all, But why? he didn't have the faintest idea, he just hung his head and made his way to his room.

When Naruto entered his bedroom he went directly to his closet and changed his clothes. Now, instead of his regular clothes he wore a long sleeved black shirt with almost crimson arms and baggy pants that had some holes in them making them look a little old and finally he wore a pair of black finger less gloves over his hands. he went to his bed and took out something under the pillow, it was a mask that looked that it took one hell of a beating, it had a red line on the left side of the face and the rest of the left side was painted black with a few scratches the showed gold underneath, while the right side was white with the scratches showing through to be silver, with the mouth made to look wide open in an insane looking smile. After he donned the mask he left out the window so his Family wouldn't notice.

Down stairs after some time spent talking to their parents, Narumi getting worried, the suspition that something wasn't right kept bugging her and bugging her untill she finally gave in to it and looked around the room, carefully inspecting everything. "Let's see the table? Check, the sofa? I am sitting on it, Kaa-chan and Tou-san are here as well and Menma, Naruko and Naruto ar- WAIT A SECOND! Where is Naruto-nii?!" Narumi thought shocked, how could she have forgotten her older sibling! "Tou-san Kaa-chan, were is Naruto-nii?" Narumi said to her parents, not only shocking them but also Naruko. Menma just had a scowl in his face since he hated his brother, 'He was weak anyway, weak people didn't belong in the Namikaze household' menma thought. Kushina's eyes went wide after hearing what narumi asked, she couldn't help it, she felt the tears start welling in the corner of her eyes as Minato leaned in and hugged her, he looked at his kids with an unusually serious face and said

"We need to tell you something about your brother",

"Tou-san what happened to Naruto-nii?" Naruko said nervously, she - like Narumi had a bad feeling about what was going to be said by her Father. With a shaky sigh Minato hugged his wife just a bit tighter and looked at them solemly

"When Naruto was born the doctors started doing some examination to him to see if he was sick since he looked a little paler than a baby should be, after the examination the doctors found a deadly incurable disease that at the age of sixteen kill him, me and your mother were devastated, we were crushed when the doctor recommended that we try to ignore him so we didn't suffer seeing him grow and then die and the early age of 16, and the worst thing about this I think, Is that we actually listened and ignored him, I regret that to this day, but we 'stupidly' decide to be not so attached to him, but he also said that there is a little possibility that he could survive that disease as his vitality was strong, It was always a trait of the Uzumaki family and that gave us a little hope, but seeing him right now he isn't doing so well, I am sorry for you to hear this but your brother will more than likely die on his sixteenth birthday." Minato finished with some tears in his eyes remembering what he had foolishly done to his eldest son.

Naruko and Narumi had tears running down their faces and Menma looked sad but inside he was smiling at the unfortunate fate of his brother. Then Naruko thought something "And what if he does survive the disease?" She said Minato look at her and gave a smile and said the words that she hoped he would say "Then everything changes, We accept him into the family without regret and love him like we should have from the very beginning." He said making everyone to smile except Menma, sadly Naruto wasn't there to hear it, because if he did then the future would be a radically different one then the path of power in store for him now.

(Present Time, 1 Week after Rize Incident)

"Ugh" Naruto groaned in immense pain, he started slowly opening his eyes only to wince in pain at the bright florescent lights in the ceiling that usually mean hospital, he started to blink his eyes trying to get them used to the light, when he got used to it he sat up to see white walls and a window that overlooked the city of Tokyo. "I am in the Hospital? But what happ-" He stopped mid-sentence when he remembered last night. "Rize! She was a ghoul all along! but where is she? Shouldn't I be dead or something?" Naruto thought, and then he got angry 'And it's all the fault of my FUCKING FAMILY! IF THEY DIDN'T IGNORE ME ALL THE DAMN TIME I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN LOCKED OUT AND MORE IMPORTANTLY WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THIS ACCIDENT!' He would've liked to continue screaming in his mind if it wasn't for the fact that a doctor walked in and he didn't want to instantly be labeled as insane.

The doctor in question had grey hair and wore a white lab coat, white shirt and black necktie. "Oh! You wake up!" Said the doctor surprised "We thought you wouldn't have been waking up for at least two more weeks!" Then he made his way lazily over to Naruto's bedside and said "How do you feel?"

"Well I think I feel fine, but can you tell me what happened? Since the only thing that I remember is that a woman stabbed me" Naruto lied, he didn't want the doctor to freak out about a ghoul being in this ward.

The Doctor only smiled and said "Some construction workers found you under some steel bars in a construction site and sent you here, you needed surgery and an organ replacement, so after the surgery you looked well enough that I just assumed it was either, A) you woke up in time or B) you never woke, I'm happy to see it was the former not the latter" He said "And seeing that you did wake up I need to do a check up and see when you will be able to leave." Hearing that Naruto started to smile

"Hey, thanks doc for saving my life back there." But Naruto didn't receive an answer, the only response he got was his room door closing beind the quickly escaping doctor. After a while Naruto got bored and laid flat on is back staring up at the ceiling slowly losing himself to thought 'How the fuck did I ever manage to survive a Kagune stabbing me through the stomach? Am I not human? was I ever really human to be able to survive that?" Naruto thought. If he only knew how true some of what he thought was

(Outside Kanou General Hospital, Five Minutes Later)

"Arigato!" Naruto said to the doctor,

"Don't worry I was just doing my job please take care and have a nice day." He said with a smile, Narutow was about to turn and leave when he forgot something important 'Man how can I forget something so important, I feel stupid, better ask him before he leaves'

"Hey Doc!" Naruto shouted making the doctor to turn around with a raised brow

"Yes Naruto?" Naruto started rubbing the back of his head with a goofy smile on his face as he asked

"Hey I forgot your name what was it again?" The doctor only smiled and said

"Akihiro Kanou." Before leaving

"Akihiro Kanou huh? I will remember it." Naruto said with a smile before leaving, never seeing the dark smirk Kanou had on his face.

(Uzumaki-Namikaze Residence)

When Naruto finally got back to his house, he wasn't surprised to see that his family wasn't home. So he decided to Cook himself some ramen and just watch T.V. When he was done making his favorite food -ramen- he went up to his room, turned on the T.V and switched it to the news 'I wonder what interesting things are going on with the CCG now' He thought happily slurping away at his ramen

"-Right now we are about to interview one of the families that work in the CCG, the Namikazes!"

Naruto eyes go wide, they were on T.V!

"So tell me Minato, what is the thing that you are most proud of? The Interviewer asked bringing the microphone close enough so that minato could talk through it.

"Well I am proud of all the hard work that was brought me up to special class investigator and having the best wife in the world who I'm proud of every day. The thing I am most proud of though is how my three children had grow with the knowledge that me and my wife gave them." Minato said. "But also I have things that I am no-" Before Minato could finish the He broke the t.v nearly in half with an angry punch, There were tears streaming down his face slowly forming a puddle underneath him.

"THAT BASTARD!" Naruto screamed with pure anger directed at his father. "THEY DON'T ONLY HAVE THREE KIDS! THEY HAVE ALSO ME, BUT THEY FUCKING IGNORE ME! why do they ignore me..." he said the last part in an almost whisper, barely audible to even himself. After sometime Naruto calmed down but the bedroom was a mess, the T.V was broken and his bed was upside down. He was sitting in a corner of his room with a beer in hand. "They wouldn't even care if I drank this and got drunk would they" Naruto said with depression. He then put the bottle to his lips and started chugging, only to get halfway through and nearly drown in the liquid, gagging, He was gagging as the liquid flew down towards his face. The taste- The taste was so horrible, But not like the time he sneaked a few sips of his fathers beer a few years ago, It tasted like someone pissed in the bottle then he drank it, He instantly threw up all over the floor and just barely made it to the bathroom for round two.

"W-W-What the hell is that beer made of!" Naruto said shocked, he new that the beers didn't taste like shit, so why did this one? With a sigh he went to check the bottle and see what brand it was, maybe his father had decided on trying a new brand of beer only to see that it was his usual beer he drank nearly every weekend. "Huh? That's strange." He said as he threw the beer bottle away and cleaned up the vomit on the floor. When he finished he heard a loud growling that could only be his now empty stomach, with a chuckle he went towards the kitchen "Ok, Ok! I will get something to eat mister stomach!" Naruto said, He decided on a simple ham and cheese sandwich because it was fats and easy. When he made the sandwich his nose started picking up a disgusting smell, "Why when I look at it I feel that I want to throw up?" He questioned himself, with a shrug he took a bite of the sandwich, only to go running to the bathroom and throw up again, "The hell?!" Naruto thought and Kind of started getting nervous, What if being a ghoul was contagious? Was that why CCG always killed them without a second thought? If so he had to find out, He started scouring his fridge raiding it of his favorite foods.

Apple? Tasted like wet chalk

Soda? smelled like animal blood and tasted even worse, Like bubbly death was the only term he could use to describe the horrid flavor that entered his mouth

Ramen?! -This- Was his last chance, If he didn't like ramen any more there was seriously something wrong, he slowly lifted the lid with anxiety. He was scared, And with what he thought was good reason to be. If it turned out that he was actually a ghoul he would be the one thing his Parent's and sibling's were sworn to kill

Ramed tasted good for Naruto for about two seconds, then it just spiraled downhill, The stingy noodles almost making him gag at the sliminess, to him it felt as though he had just taken a mouth full of dirty earth worms and chewed on them. It was horrible, and in the end only resulted in another trip to the bathroom to vomit. So in the end he gave up and started crying on the bathroom floor. "W-W-What the hell is wrong with me!" Naruto shouted to anyone, trying to keep his sanity intact, Just as he started calming down he heard "her", The one person who he could go forever without hearing her voice again and be satisfied, It was Rize.

"Look at the mirror Naruto-Kun" His head shot up frantically looking around for the gir-Ghoul that had almost killed him, Not seeing her anywhere he rode it off as a hallucination and decided to play along, Not like anyone else ever gave him the time of day anyway. so he stood up and looked in to the mirror. his eyes immediately went wide in shock. His left eye had a now black sclera and a menacing crimson red pupil with red veins flowing out of his iris heading towards the edge of his eye, while the other eye was his normal blue and white.

"W-W-What is-" Naruto stuttered only to get answer my the same voice

"THAT Naruto-Kun is a Kakugan. The eye of a ghoul so I'm sure you know what that means" The voice that was Rize said only for Naruto to finish it

"I became a ghoul?!" He said shocked and then silence.

(Hows that for chapter 2, I hope you all like it, I try to make sure my spelling and grammar are nothing short of perfect, but the formatting from bringing it over from wordpad might have ruined that all haha. Anyway all the spelling is right, I added a lot of detail, all in all I'm happy with the way this chapter turned out, I ended it earlier than the original ended chapter 2 though, for a reason, This "version" of chapter 2 is a lot longer than the original chapter 2 so i thought with all that i added it should make up for it, Anyway how about that cliffhanger? Will Naruto be insane as the original? I bet that some of you can't wait to find out.

Until next time
