Hear Me Roar!
He stood in front of an elderly man, whom was sitting behind a desk taking a long drag from a pipe. The elderly man looked at him, then to Eri, before closing his eyes and sighing.
"Naruto...I'm sure you know why you're here?" Sarutobi asked.
Naruto stared at the third Hokage before looking down at Eri, her blood red eyes looking back at him. He placed his hand on top of her head and started to rub her ear making her purr in delight, he looked back a Sarutobi.
"You sure you want me to tell you what happened? It's kind of a long story." Naruto said.
Sarutobi chuckled a bit, "My boy, I am old, but I will always have time for you." he said.
Naruto cracked a smirk before shaking his head a bit, "If you insist, old man, I will tell you what happened." Naruto said as he thought back to what happened, not even an hour ago.
-(Flash Back)-
All the darkness that once surrounded both Naruto and Eri turned back in to the surrounding forest of the Hidden Leaf village.
Naruto looked himself over and saw that he still had the changes about. Remembering Iruka fighting Mizuki, Naruto looked to see what had happen in the time he had been gone. To his surprise everything was as he left it, only now Iruka gets up, pulls out two kunai, and glares at Mizuki.
Mizuki, himself, just chuckles a bit, "You're really going to defend that monster?"
Iruka, with two kunai in hand, launched himself at Mizuki and tried to slash him. Mizuki just smiled at the futile attempts on his life, he sidestep one slash and grabbed Iruka's wrist. Mizuki, using Iruka's momentum, threw him into a tree. Iruka landed on his already damaged back winced in pain, and hacked up blood.
Mizuki landed beside Iruka, "You know Iruka I was going to kill you last, but I've grown tired of you." Mizuki jumped back into a tree and took out his last giant shuriken and threw it.
Iruka closed his eyes for what he thought was the last time.
'I'm sorry Naruto…' Iruka thought.
"Not so fast!" Iruka snapped open his eyes and saw Naruto holding the giant Shuriken.
"Naruto what are you doing here, run away get away from here and get help!" Iruka yelled out.
Naruto looked at Iruka and gave him a small smile, "Don't worry Iruka-sensei, you've done enough for now, you just rest now." Naruto turned his gaze back at Mizuki and scowled at him.
"You bastard..." Naruto started out, his gaze on Mizuki getting darker, "You can trick me and try to kill me, but I will not let you kill someone my only friend!"
'Place my essence into the blade…'
Naruto heard the whisper of the Shinigaimi and did as told. A dark substance came from Naruto's hand and it started to transform the structure of the blade.
"NO ONE MESSES WITH MY BROTHER AND LIVES!" Naruto roared.
The black substance on the giant shuriken exploded and revealed a crossblade with a blue glow coming off it.
"This is where you DIE!" Naruto threw the crossblade at Mizuki.
Mizuki quickly jumped onto a nearby tree branch, "Nice try, but I'm faster, brat!"
Naruto growled out, "Then try this!"
He threw his hand upward and the crossblade projected upwards cutting the limb that Mizuki was standing on.
"What the hell!" Mizuki barley had time to dodge the crossblade before it came back at him.
Naruto caught crossblade, spun around, and threw it agian. Mizuki jumped to the side and dodged the crossblade.
"I told you already, that I'm too fast for you!" Mizuki mocked.
"Then we better get rid of your legs!" Mizuki felt a slicing pain course through his body as a pair of knives cut through the tendons behind his knees.
Mizuki fell to the ground and yelled out in pain. He looked up to see two more Naruto's standing on both sides of the original, both holding Kunais.
"How...?" Mizuki shuddered.
"The Shadow Clone Jutsu makes physical copies of the original, good for spies, and sneaks attacks." The clones placed their knives back into their holsters and each grabbed one Mizuki arms. The original Naruto readied his crossblade for a final throw.
"I told you that nobody messes with my brother and lives..." Naruto said, "...any last words?" he asked.
Mizuki glared at him, "No one will accept you. Everyone will still come after you with torches and you will fall…" He said.
"Then I won't fight for them…but I will fight for those that have and will help me, and if anyone tries to harm them…" Naruto said as he threw his crossblade.
The crossblade sliced Mizuki's head off and returned back to Naruto's opened hand, "...I'll kill them…"
Naruto dispelled his clone and walked back to his injured teacher. He saw Eri healing Irukas' wounded back when he found them.
"Hey Iruka-sensei, are you okay?" Naruto ask as he walked over to them.
Iruka stared at him, before shaking his head, "Naruto wha-what happen to you? Your cloths, that weapon, and that little girl?" he asked pointing at Eri, who waved at him.
Naruto grabbed Iruka off the ground and put his armed around his neck to help him walk, "It's kind of a long story. I'll tell you on the way to the hospital, come on Eri, and grab the scroll." Naruto called out as they walked to the hospital and Eri got the scroll out of the tree she placed it in.
-(Now)-
"And that would be every detail of what happened." Naruto said.
Sarutobi looked at Naruto and Eri, before leaning back in his chair and taking a puff from his pipe.
"A new bloodline, what does it do?" Sarutobi asked.
Naruto thought about the fight with Mizuki and the powers he unleashed, "Well, all I know for now is that it increased my speed, agility, senses, and strength. I was also able to turn a giant Shuriken into a Crossblade and control the projectile of the weapon. Other than that I'm still learning about it."
Sarutobi nodded before asking another question, "What will you call it?"
Naruto thought about the name before recalling what the Shinigami said to him, 'I will give you my essences to help you do my missions.'
"The Reaper's Blood." he stated.
Sarutobi nodded, and took another puff from his pipe, before signing.
"Well that was quite a story Naruto, you never have a dull moment in your life do you?" he asked.
Naruto just gave a small smirk, "You of all people should know by now that the life of Naruto Uzumaki is never a dull one." Naruto smirk turned into a small frown.
"What Mizuki said, about me being the son of the Forth, is it true?" Naruto asked.
Sarutobi sighed before looking Naruto in the eyes, "All though I'm not quite sure how he obtained the information, seeing as it was an S-class secret. What Mizuki said was in fact true, Minato Namikaze is your father, with Kushina Uzumaki being your mother." Sarutobi open a drawer from his desk and gave Naruto a key and a scroll.
"This is the key to your father's house, I'll show you where it later. The scroll is a note that your father wanted you to have when you turned sixteen or when you reached Chunin." Sarutobi said.
Naruto pocketed both items and gave a sigh of his own, "There's another thing that I need to tell you old man." Naruto said.
Sarutobi quirked an eyebrow at the blonde, "And what might that be Naruto?"
"I can't just take orders from you. Since I gave the Shinigami my body for his doing, I will have to take whatever order he gives me." Naruto explained.
Sarutobi rubbed his beard in thought, "Hmm, that would be a problem if you were on a team. I will see what can be done about this problem, for now take this money for bring in Mizuki's head and this map that will lead you to your new home." Sarutobi instructed.
Naruto pocketed the money and took the map. He looked up at the aged Hokage and smiled, "Thanks old man, come on Eri lets go home." Eri jumped on Naruto's back and latched on (Think how Yachiru hangs on to Kenpachi's back).
-(2 hours later)-
"Will you just give me the map already?!" Naruto demanded.
"No, I said I can read it, now let me read it!" Eri replied.
"Eri you've been reading that map for an hour, and it's starting to get dark out, so just me the map!" Naruto said, and snatched the map out of Eri's hand.
"Hey!" She yelled.
"No wonder we're lost, you had the map upside down!" Naruto jumped up on the roofs and headed to the right direction.
-(5 minutes later)-
"Wow..." Eri said in shock.
"Yeah, I figured my dad was rich, but this, this is...damn!" Naruto examine.
Standing in front of them was the Namikaze estate. It was a two story building, with a beautiful garden in the front and a meditation pond in the middle of it. It was standing on thirty acres of land covered with trees.
"Well lets go in." Eri said.
Both of them went inside of the house to see that it was like any other home. Furniture, windows, tables, plants, etc. Eri hoped off of Naruto's back and ran around the house to look for a room, while Naruto walked over to a bookshelf that had a picture on it. Naruto stared at the picture, seeing a blonde haired man with his arms wrapped around a red headed woman (who was at least eight months pregnant). They were both smiling widely.
"It's good to know that if they were still alive, I would have had a family that loved me..." Naruto felt a tear slide down cheeks.
Eri came back into the room to Naruto screaming about something that he had to come see, but stopped when she saw Naruto standing and looking at something.
"Are-are you okay, Naruto?" She asked hesitantly.
Naruto wiped his eyes quickly, "Yeah, I'm fine Eri, just some allergies. What was that you wanted to show me?" Eri saw the picture of his parents in his hands, but didn't speak of it.
"I found this huge room that is perfect to sleep in tonight." She said.
Eri grabbed Naruto by the hand and led him up stairs, she brought Naruto to a larger than normal door. She pushed the door open and led Naruto into the room. Eri let go of Narutos' hand and jumped onto a king size bed with maroon bed sheets.
Naruto looked around the room, admiring what it held. The carpet floor, wallpaper, and curtains were all a deep shade of red.
"It's nice to know that my parents had good taste in color." Naruto said as he removed some of his clothing, leaving him in only boxers and an under shirt.
Naruto set the picture of his parents down on a night stand beside the bed and laid down with Eri beside him, then he did something that that he hadn't done in years, slept peacefully.
Short I know, but I didn't want anyone to think I abandon the story. Next chapter I'm bringing in the wave mission, teams, and weapons. Just stick with me for a while and you'll get to finishes this story.
Thank you.
