"So what happened to him?" Minato asked. He was in an examination room with Tsunade who had just finished the autopsy on the anbu ninja that was found dead.
"Well for starters he must have been killed instantly because if he hadn't he would have destroyed his body." Tsunade said. "Now as for the cause of death, he has multiple large cuts all over his body. He would have bleed out, but the cuts aren't what killed him. He was crushed to death."
"What, but all these injuries suggest he was hit by a wind jutsu?!" Minato said in shock.
"Exactly normal wind jutsus only cuts the target." Tsunade said smiling with interest "The only explanation is either this was a super powerful wind Justus or-"
"It wasn't a wind jutsu." Minato said. "What about the guards?"
Tsunade gave Minato a smile. "That part is even more interesting than the anbu's case. The guards' testimony stated that a young boy walked up to the gates. When the guard asked him what his business was the boy said 'just regular business.' Then one of the guards reached to collect the boy's papers. When he did his wrist suddenly broke, and the boy ran away. That's when anbu were called."
Minato thought about it for a minute. "That is strange why would that boy show up just to break the guard's wrist then run away. Do we have a picture of the boy?"
"We're having an artist drawing a picture of the boy from the guard's account right now." Tsunade said.
"Alright it doesn't look like there is much we can do until that picture is finished." Minato said getting ready to leave.
"Actually there is one more thing." Tsunade said stopping Minato in his tracks. "Remember the guard said his wrist suddenly broke not the boy broke his wrist."
"Then how was his wrist broken?" Minato asked now very curious.
"That I'm not so sure about." Tsunade said sounding disappointed. "You see his wrist wasn't broken by someone grabbing his hand and snapping it. No it was like he was pushing his hand against a wall until his hand was pushed far enough back that his wrist broke. As for why it's like that I have no idea."
Minato thought about it and couldn't come up with and explanation either. "What in the world is going on?"
*2 years later*
Hanabi was training in her family dojo under her dad's observation. She was once again sparring against her older sister Hinata. It was completely one sided. Hanabi had already closed off most of Hinata's chakra points while Hinata had yet to land a hit.
"That's enough." Hiashi said sounding displeased. "Hinata you are dismissed."
"Hai." Hinata said quickly leaving the room.
Hanabi was exhausted and wanted to be dismissed too, but that wasn't going to happen. "Hanabi you need to increases you endurance. How will you lead this clan if you're so tried after just one day of training?"
Hanabi wanted to tell him that his 'one day of training' was what most chunin did. She was only an academy student not even a fully-fledged ninja. Even if it was decided that Hanabi would be the clan head instead of Hinata it didn't mean he could beat her in the ground. If only Hinata wasn't so weak then Hanabi wouldn't have to pick up her slack. "Anyways let's get back to training." Hiashi said.
Hanabi was finally done after two more hours of learning new gentle fist stances Hiashi dismissed Hanabi. Hanabi opened the door to the dojo only thinking about falling asleep in her bed. "Hanabi before you go. I think you should know that I'm thinking about teaching you the birdcage seal soon." Hiashi said.
"Hai," was Hanabi's only response. She walked quickly to her room afraid she would say something she would regret later. Hanabi didn't what to learn the birdcage seal. It would just give the side branch family more reason to hate her. They already weren't a big fan of her since she was going to be the future head. What was worse is she knew that Neji was miles ahead of her in terms of skill. He was three years older, but so was Hinata. It not even like Hanabi could test her skills against him because kami forbid that a main branch member and a side branch member spare. Even though he and Hinata used to spare all the time, the hyugas just pissed Hanabi off.
The next day Hanabi, Hitomi and Mito were eating lunch at the academy just like always. Although now a days, it wasn't just Mito complaining about her family. "Yeah my dad wants to teach me the birdcage seal. Which will just give Neji another reason to preach about fate." Hanabi said angrily biting into her sandwich.
"You want to know what happened today." Mito said. "Jiraiya came by and let my sisters sign the toad contract. On the other hand my present was I got to watch my sisters try and summon a toad."
"But they're older then you so it's natural for them to get things first." Hitomi said.
"I guess, but I'm positive that when I turn ten I won't get to sign the contract after all my parents haven't given me a single kunai." Mito said. They sat there in silence for a little bit before Mito said. "We should leave."
"You can't be serious?" Hitomi said.
"Why not," Mito said. "Hanabi and I hate are families, and you hate Itachi for killing yours. Why should we have to protect the leaf when we don't even like it?"
"We would never make it." Hanabi said. "We aren't just some random ninjas we're the daughter of the hokage, the last of only a handful of uchihas, and the future heir to the hyuga. The village isn't going to let another of the Hokage's kids and its two most important dojutsu go. The moment they realize we're gone they'll send every anbu team they have after us."
"But if we cross the border before they realize were gone then they can't follow us." Mito suggested.
"Alright let's say by some miracle that happens where would we go?" Hitomi asked. "We have to have some place to hide because Konoha isn't the only village that would send out every anbu team to get the sharingan and the byakugan. Let's not forget we're academy students we can't fight off ninja without help."
Mito though about it. "What about finding my brother?"
"We don't know where he is." Hanabi pointed out. "And even if we did then we would just become another test subject for Orochimaru which is worse than being captured by another village."
"What if he's not with Orochimaru anymore?" Mito stated.
"Then that brings up a lot of other problems." Hanabi said. "If he's not with Orochimaru why didn't he come back to the leaf? If we did find him would he even be strong enough to protect us? Will he even want to protect us? Let's not forget to even find him we would have to know where he was and outrun the leaf's anbu. That a lot of what-ifs."
Mito didn't look happy. "Fine I guess you're right." Mito said thinking about her brother a little more. "I wonder what he's doing right now."
*somewhere*
"Look what we've got here." A bandit said to his fellow bandits. They were watching a very pale boy with a bag slung over his shoulder walking down the road. The bandits were following behind him.
"I wonder what's in the bag." Another bandit said.
"I don't know let's find out." A bandit said. "Hey buddy why don't you give us your bag and we won't hurt you!" The bandit yelled. The pale boy just kept walking however like he didn't even hear them. "Hey don't ignore us!" The bandit screamed, yet the boy kept walking.
"That's it." The bandit said angrily. He pulled his sword and charged the boy from behind. But when the bandit swung his sword at the boy's neck he was sent flying backwards. "What the hell." The bandit said from his new position on the floor.
The bandits had finally caught the boy's attention as he turned around to see what hit him. That's when the bandits saw his glaring red eyes. The boy looked over every bandit before smiling. "Sorry guys you see I was reflecting all the sound away from me so I didn't hear you. If I did I could have killed you much sooner." The boy said with a slight chuckle.
"Who are you?" The now terrified bandit said.
"I'm Accelerator, but that hardly matters now." The boy said before he seemingly pushed off the ground and came flying at them. The bandits' screams could be heard from a mile away, but those who did hear it weren't sure if it was real or their imagination because it only lasted for a couple seconds.
After Naruto dealt with the bandits he once again started reflecting sound vectors away from him and continued on his way. He didn't actually have a destination he had just been wandering around ever since he left Orochimaru. His bag only contained camping equipment and a few pairs of clothes. After the incident with the leaf he didn't really have a purpose anymore. He didn't blame the leaf after all it wasn't their fault that he believed Orochimaru's lie. He supposed he had been pretty stupid to believe that he was the son of the Hokage. After all he didn't even look like the Hokage. That was all in the past though. Now he was looking towards the future. Unfortunately he didn't know what he was looking for. Naruto knew he wanted to settle down somewhere, but where that was Naruto had no idea.
Naruto actually found enjoyment in killing people like those bandits. Now he wasn't psychotic he didn't just kill people for fun or just because he wanted to. It was more like when he was attacked or someone just pissed him off the best option was just to kill them. That trait and Naruto's power would set him on the path to be a ninja and Naruto already considered himself a ninja, so he should live in a shinobi village. Naruto didn't really want to however. Having to report to the leader and being limited on where he could good and what he could do just didn't appeal to him. Where ever he went he would be able to do whatever he wanted. So until he found that place he would keep wandering, but just like how he felt that he was soon going to be free from Orochimaru. He also felt that he would find that place very soon.
*2 weeks later*
Naruto liked it here. He was in a good sized city located in the land of Frost. The town was somewhat near the border to the land of lighting, but it was out of the way enough that there wasn't too many lighting ninja coming through. Naruto didn't know why he liked it here he just did. The town wasn't special and it didn't have any defining traits. It wasn't super peaceful, but it wasn't super violent. It just seemed like any other town you would come across, but Naruto liked it so this is where he would live.
He already found an apartment he liked, but he needed money. Naruto had never carried a lot of money so he needed to get some. He didn't really want to have to work for the money, so the next best thing was looting. Naruto heard about a bandit camp not too far from the city. He would just go there kill the bandits and take their money easy.
It only took Naruto two hours to walk all the way to the camp. Naruto could see about twenty or so bandits all over the camp. Most of they were drinking or passed out from drinking. Naruto was a little skeptical if they even had any money after buying all that beer, but there was only one way to find out. "Time to give them a wakeup call." Naruto stomped the ground and a miniature earthquake hit the camp. The ground cracked, tents and tablets fell over and so did the bandits. Before the bandits even knew what was going on Naruto rushed them using vectors to enhance his strength and speed. He grabbed the first bandit and threw him towards another group of bandits. There were a bunch of small rocks that were scattered around from Naruto's earthquake. Now most people wouldn't think of these as weapons but for Naruto they were. He simply kicked one of the pebbles and used vectors to greatly increase its speed. It was going so fast that when it hit a bandit it tore right through him.
By now the bandits had finally realized they were being attacked. They pulled out all sorts of weapons. There was one who pulled out a crossbow which he used to shoot Naruto. Now normally the arrow would have been sent right back at him, but Naruto changed it course ever so slightly, so instead of hitting Naruto it hit another bandit.
The bandit thinking he had only missed fired another arrow. Naruto once again changed its course to hit another bandit. Naruto decided to play a little game with himself. He would try to guess how many arrows the bandit would shoot at him before he realized that Naruto was the one changing the course. He guessed 5.
Well this bandit was either really stupid or really drunk because he shot a total of 12 arrows before he realized something was wrong. Naruto wanted to break out laughing how anyone could be that stupid was beyond Naruto. Due to that one guy there were only about six more bandits left and Naruto was getting bored. It was time to end this and look for the money. Naruto picked up a handful of pebbles and started flicking them at the bandits. They were sped up of course and the bandits had no hope of dodging.
Once they were all dead Naruto started looking around. He found a bunch of stuff that looked like it could be valuable, but Naruto only wanted cash. It would be too much trouble to find buyers to sell all this stuff too. He did find enough money for now and he even found some stuff he could decorated his apartment with. Naruto decided that this was a much better than getting a job. With his new found treasure he walked backed to the city.
*1 year later*
"So you're Accelerator you don't look like much. You're even younger then me" The boy said. Naruto sighed he was having such a good day until these guys showed up. It was a genin team from Kumogakure and it looked like they were here to kill him but just to make sure.
"I am what do you want?" Naruto said not sounding the least bit interested.
"We're here to take you down." The same boy said crossing his arms like he expected Naruto to beg for mercy.
"Why?" Naruto said. He was actually wondering why Kumo set a genin team after him.
The jounin instructor answered this time. "Because you have taken out a least three bandit camps and have killed a lot of bandits."
Naruto didn't see why that was a problem. Isn't taking out bandit camps what genin teams normally do? Maybe they didn't like Naruto taking away all the C-rank missions. He had been destroying a bandit camp every few months to get some money because of that a lot of bandits had packed up and left the Land of Frost for fear of being attacked by him. Maybe Kumo didn't like cleaning up after the destruction he caused. It didn't really matter he had to focus on the problem at hand.
The three genin were standing in front of their jounin instructor getting ready for a battle. The jounin had his arms crossed and looked like he was just going to observe the genin and not actually do any fighting. They probably didn't think Naruto was a serious threat after all the only thing he had done was destroy a few bandit camps; nothing a low level chunin couldn't have done. If in fact he was a low level chunin then a genin team should be able to deal with him, but Naruto was not a low level chunin. He would have to show them that the hard way. "Come at me." He said.
Two of the genin disappeared from sight while the one who had first spoken to Naruto charged at him with a kunai. "Well aren't you arrogant." Naruto said. As the boy got closer two hand shot up from the ground underneath Naruto. The hands tried to grab Naruto ankles only for their wrist to be broken. At the same time Naruto felt a kunai touch his back, but it was reflected and there was a cry of pain. Then Naruto stomped the ground causing rocks to fly up and hit the genin that was running towards him. This caused the boy to fly up a little bit. Naruto grabbed the boy's wrist. He swung him around so fast that he ripped the boy's arm out of his socket.
The boy fell to the ground crying as he held his now stub of an arm. The jounin instructor looked at Naruto with absolute shock and terror at how fast he had taken care of the genin. Naruto gave him his sadistic smile and held up the arm of the boy. "Would you like this back?"
The jounin looked angry but didn't say anything. Then with incredible speed collected the boy and set him on the ground away from Naruto. Then he once again ran past Naruto to collect another boy who had a kunai imbedded in his stomach. The jounin set the boy next to the other boy. "Don't worry we'll get you medical attention soon." He said although he sounded very worried."
Naruto took one step forward and the jounin instantly turned his head to look at Naruto. "Are you sure because I'm not one to let people who attack me live." Naruto said.
The jounin stood up and looked at Naruto with fire in his eyes. "I'm going to kill you." He said. He then went through a set of hand signs. "Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder!" The jounin screamed as a wave of electricity was fired at Naruto. Naruto threw the arm he was still holding at the electricity. The electricity tore through the arm turning it black and crispy. The electricity continued towards Naruto, and just like everything else when it made contact it was reflected back at the owner. The jounin had no choice but to cancel the jutsu and jump away. When he did Naruto pushed off the ground which sent him fly towards the jounin. The jounin unable to move in mid-air had to block Naruto's kick. The kick was so strong it sent him flying into a tree. The jounin tried to get up, but Naruto flew at him again this time kicking him through the tree.
The jounin was now on his back covered in blood. He was too hurt to get up as Naruto walked towards him. "You weren't as strong as I thought you'd be." Naruto said. The jounin didn't say anything he just looked at Naruto with hate in his eyes. Naruto wasn't bothered. He just kicked the jounin head which let him control the vectors in his neck letting Naruto snap it. Naruto then walked over to the two genin who were still lying on the ground obviously in pain. "Just remember you were the ones who attacked me." Naruto said before walking over to a nearby tree and tapping it with his hand. The tree uprooted itself and levitated over to the genin. "Goodbye," Naruto said as the tree dropped on the genin crushing them. Naruto smiled at his handy work. "That was great but where's the third one." Naruto said looked around. "Uh it would just be a pain in the ass to look for him so I guess I'll just go home." Naruto said to himself choosing to let the last genin get away.
A couple days later a bounty hunter attack Naruto. After Naruto dealt with him, he took the bingo book the bounty hunter had with him. Naruto guessed that he had been placed in the bingo book after his little stunt with the Kumo ninja. He skimmed the pages until sure enough he found himself. Somehow they had gotten a picture of him and under it said.
Accelerator
Wanted for killing Kumo ninja
Wanted by: Kumogakure
Threat: B
Afflation: none
Last seen: Land of Frost
Naruto looked at the book for a little bit letting it sink in. He was surprised he was only a B-rank threat, but they probably still didn't know how powerful he truly was. He threw the book away in a nearby trash can. It didn't matter to him if he was wanted or not. He wasn't going to run away just because some bounty hunters were going to come after him. No he was staying right here.
*1 year later*
Mito was cleaning out her father's office. It was life-draining. She had to go through every file he kept here and determine which ones he should keep and which ones should be moved to the archives. She had been at this for 5 hours straight and she wasn't even close to being finished. At the very least Hitomi and Hanabi had agreed to come over and help. Mito hoped they would show up soon.
It was all Naruko's fault that she was even doing this. Earlier today Mito had been practicing her taijutsu in the mansion's training ground when Naruko walked in. "Aw that's so cute. Does little Mito really think she can be a ninja?" Naruko said mockingly.
Mito didn't say anything or do anything to acknowledge Naruko which made Naruko mad. "Did you know that in a couple of weeks Minima and I will become full-fledged shinobi?" Mito still didn't respond which pissed Naruko off even more. "You know we'll be going out of the village for missions. We might even run across Naruto." That caught Mito's attention. "I bet he's just as weak and pathetic as you or maybe Orochimaru already killed him and we'll find his corpse." Naruko said with a smile knowing she was getting to Mito.
Naruko knew about Mito's fixation on their brother. She had sunk into Mito's room a while back and found the sketchbook with all the drawings of their brother. So Naruko knew just what to say to piss Mito off, and it worked. "You shut up Naruto's is alive and a way better ninja then you will ever be!" Mito yelled.
"Then he must be too embarrassed of having a weak little sister like you to come back to the leaf." Naruko said. This pissed Mito off. She charged at Naruko and punched her in the face. Mito expected Naruko to dodge since she was better than Mito, but she didn't. She stood there and took it and after she did an evil smile graced her lips.
Demonic chakra leaked out of Naruko along with the killer instinct it naturally produced. It scared Mito and she backed away in fear. It wasn't long before Minato and Kushina burst through the doors having sensed the demonic chakra. Minato quickly placed a seal on Naruko that repressed the chakra. Kushina looked at Naruko with worry. "Naruko what happened? Why did your demonic chakra start leaking?"
Naruko put on a good performance. She held her cheek and had tears in her eyes. "Mito hit me and I just got so mad." Naruko said as she started cry. "I'm so sorry I didn't mean too."
Kushina embraced the crying girl while Minato walked over to Mito. "Mito you know you should never hit Naruko!" Minato yelled.
"I'm sorry." Was all Mito could say.
"You will be sorry because now you have to organize all the flies in my office." Minato said with his arms crossed.
That was the story Mito told Hanabi and Hitomi when they arrived.
"That's terrible." Hitomi said after hearing the story.
"Yeah it was really great for you two to show up. I'm really thankful." Mito said.
"Hey that's what friends are for, so where do we start." Hanabi said.
The pace went a lot faster with Hitomi's and Hanabi's help. They were almost done when Mito grabbed a new file and was shocked at its contents. Inside was a sketch of a very pale boy with red eyes. There was a paper describing an incident where an anbu was found dead and a gate guard was hurt.
"Hey Hanabi, Hitomi come look at this." Mito said. The girls came over to look at the picture.
"What about it?" Hitomi asked.
"Doesn't this guy look like Minato?" Mito said.
Hanabi and Hitomi deadpanned. They looked at the picture really hard and tried imagine him as Minato. "No," They both said.
Mito looked at them obviously frustrated. "Stay here." She said as she left the room. A little bit later she came back with her sketchbook. "Maybe it's because you two don't do sketches, but look." She started drawing a picture of Minato. "The features on that guy are the exact same as Minato's." She colored Minato in so it looked exactly like Minato. "Would you two agree that looks like Minato?"
"Yeah," they both said.
"Now look at this." Mito said as she erased Minato's hair and replaced it to what the boy's hair looked like. "All I've done it change the way his hair looks. Does it still look like Minato?" Mito asked.
"It's a little weird seeing him with that kind of hair, but yeah I could see him as Minato." Hitomi said. "So what?"
Mito smiled. "You two are to focus on color if I do this." Mito changed to color of Minato's hair to a pale blonde. His eyes to a red and made his skin much paler. Hitomi and Hanabi stepped back in shock. The picture now looked like a direct copy of the guy in the file. "Do you see it now?"
"But how it that possible?" Hanabi asked.
"There's only one explanation." Mito said with a smile. "The person in this picture is my brother Naruto."
"But if that's true, then why did he attack a guard and kill an anbu." Hitomi said still trying to figure it all out.
"I don't know, but when we see him we can ask him." Mito said partially glowing with happiness.
"Wait don't you think you getting ahead of you self." Hanabi said. "This file it two years old. He could be anywhere now." Hanabi immediately regretted saying that as all the happiness Mito just had faded away. "Hey don't be sad I'm sure we'll think of something." Hanabi said trying to backtrack.
"Actually I thought of something already." Hitomi said. Mito and Hanabi looked at her with batted breath. "Look according to the incident report an anbu was found dead. That means even at a young age Naruto had skills at least as great as an anbu. Plus by the looks of it Naruto isn't with any village, so where do powerful ninja that other ninja villages don't want wandering around end up."
Hanabi's and Mito's faces lit up in realization. "The bingo book!" They both said.
"Do you really think he could be in the bingo book?" Mito asked.
"Well I'll admit it's a long shot, but it's are best bet." Hitomi said.
"Come on let's look around. I'm sure my dad has a bingo book in here somewhere." Mito said.
The girls looked all over the office leaving no drawer unopened until they found a bingo book. The girls waited with anticipation while they flipped through the pages. When they finally found his picture they had a small celebration.
Accelerator
Wanted for killing Kumo ninja
Wanted by: Kumogakure
Threat: B
Afflation: none
Location: Land of Frost
"Man Mito your brother is a big shot. Only 12 and he's already a B-rank threat." Hitomi said. "Your sisters aren't even full-fledged ninja yet."
"Accelerator is a pretty cool name too." Hanabi said.
Mito wasn't hearing them however. She was only focused on one thing. 'Location: Land of Frost.' After so long of dreaming of her brother and wondering what he was doing, she finally knew where he was. "Hey why does it say location? Shouldn't it say last seen?" Mito asked.
"Oh that just means he doesn't really move from that location. Which is good since it's easier for us." Hitomi said.
"Should we tell your dad about this?" Hanabi asked.
"No!" Mito flatly said.
Hanabi and Hitomi were a little shocked by her response. "But why I thought you wanted your brother to come home?" Hanabi asked.
"I did, but now I want to go see my brother. I'm sick of this village. I'm leaving it." Mito said with the most serious expressing Hanabi and Hitomi had ever seen.
Hitomi just smiled. "If that's the case do you think you could share your brother with one more?" She said.
"Hitomi are you sure?" Mito asked.
"Mito I haven't liked this village ever since Itachi killed the uchiha clan. He got treated like a hero because he stopped the coup. While all the other uchiha were treated like trash because they were the children of the people who wanted to betray the leaf. Of course I'm sure." Hitomi said just as seriously as Mito.
"You two are crazy. You know we'll be hunted down by anbu." Hanabi said.
"'We'll'?" Mito said looking at Hanabi.
"Of course you aren't the only one who's sick of their family." Hanabi said. "I can't take the way the Hyugas do things anymore. I've wanted to leave for a while now."
"Well it looks like us three are going to become missing nin." Mito said.
"Don't get ahead of yourself." Hanabi warned. "We still have to find a way to get out of the village with enough time to cross the broader before they notice us."
"You know in a couple days are class it doing a survival exercise. Where we head outside the village walls under the guidance of a genin who supposed to teach us some survival techniques." Hitomi said. "That would be a good time to leave, and no one would question us for binging survival supplies."
"All right that's when we'll leave and find my brother." Mito said.
In the days following the survival exercise the three girls packed everything they would need. When they were questioned about it they would just say they were preparing for the exercise. When the day finally came the girls made sure they were in the same group.
"Okay everyone make sure you listen to your genin instructor." The teacher said. "Don't worry we have chunin set up nearby so if anything goes wrong we'll be right over. So let's get started."
"Hai," The class said.
Mito, Hanabi and Hitomi walked out the gates with the genin instructor. He looked extremely pleased with himself for getting such high tier students. "Alright let me tell you about what to expect on missions." He said and then told a bunch of stories about the missions he had gone on. They were mostly about him doing something cool.
After an hour walk Mito gave the signal to Hanabi which was Mito dropping a kunai. "You should be more careful with your stuff." The genin said.
"Right I'm sorry." Mito said trying to look embarrassed.
"Excuses me but could you have a look at this?" Hanabi said from behind the genin.
"Sure what is it?" The genin said turning to face Hanabi only for Hanabi to slam her palm into the genin's stomach. The genin doubled over where Hanabi proceed to close off all his chakra points which knock him out.
"Okay let's go." Mito said as the girls ran off. Mito took out a map and started planning the route as they ran. "Okay so in order to get to the Land of Frost we have to go through the Land of Hot Water. It doesn't have a ninja village so once we cross the border we should be okay."
"How long do we have till they discover the genin?" Hitomi asked.
"If something went wrong then the genin was supposed to call the chunin standing by, but since he didn't they won't think anything wrong until near the end of the exercise." Hanabi said.
"That gives us a good few hours." Mito said as they ran far away from Konoha.
What these girls did would later be considered the second greatest incident the fourth Hokage would ever have. Some would even say that it was the greatest incident he'd ever have even higher than the kyuubi attack.
