That One Kitsune- So here we are again with chapter 2 for A Fated Redemption. Some of you will realize that I have changed the name of this story because a reviewer pointed out that I had the same title as another story out there. So I looked it up and what he/ she was saying was true. So I changed it to this, which is one of the title's that they provided, thank you to whoever left that review letting me know. Anyways before we get into it I wanted to say thank you to those of you who reviewed and for letting me know what you think. Also I will not be saying who is the girl(s) that is paired with him because I am still trying to decide whether or not this should be Nagato x Harem story or a love triangle to be honest. Why no single pairing? Meh I just have to many favorites from this anime to be honest. I already have one of the two girls for the love triangle selected and if it does become a harem story then I will make one of the two the alpha. But I will most likely just let you people decide if you want this to be a love triangle story or a harem because I am fine with it being a love triangle or a harem to be honest, then leave a review or just pm me to let me know which one you glorious people want. Also if you want a certain specific female(s) in the harem then let me know because I only have two decided so far if the story does become a harem. If you want some people to be genderbent from guys to girls and be in the harem let me know in a review and/ or pm. Anyways in this chapter you will find out one of the two girls I have decided that will be with Nagato. I really love her character and the bombshell she becomes when we first see her in canon. Finally I said this in my other story The Fox Turned Neko that I will be adding quotes from certain animes and/ or in real life that I really love so expect one at the beginning of every chapter. Anyways without further ado just sit back, enjoy the ride and let's do this.
P.S this chapter isn't beta'd so i'm sorry for any mistakes you may see
P.S.S This chapter would have been out sooner but it kept adding extra numbers and symbols when I did upload this to Doc Manager while also deleting a bit of what I wrote and I didn't want to post it at the time with that random shit happening.

Pain. Such a simple word but one that carries a lot of weight with it. There are many things out in the world that can cause us pain. From stubbing are toes, being beaten, harassed with insults and degenerate names, getting stabbed and many, many more. There's two types of pain we can receive. Mental pain and physical pain. Physical pain is obtained from broken bones, cuts, bruises, cracked skulls etc. Mental pain is obtained from 'other' ways we know about like name calling for example is a way that can make us receive mental pain. Scars that are there but ones that can not be seen by anyone but yourself. But right now our red headed protagonist isn't experiencing one or the other type of pain, no he is experiencing both at the same and very painful time.
Nagato didn't know what was happening to him at the moment. As soon as he stepped through the portal he saw a walkway and another portal at the end of the other side, the portal he was sure that would take him to Earthland. But he looked at the scenery all around and was amazed at its beauty. Lush forest with beautiful lakes and animals everywhere, a mesmerizing blue sky with a sun and not a single cloud was visible, he could practically feel the light and love from the scenery. But he decided to get back on track and ignore the beauty of Kami's dimension. He just started to cross the walkway and thinking that the road will be dangerous and that there will be people who are stronger than him out there so he needed to get stronger as well. But before he could keep walking while also dwelling on his thoughts he suddenly stopped. The air just became cold while the environment just became dead and not a single living being was in sight. It is like death came to all those in the area except himself, but before he could try and continue to reach the portal he heard a voice.
"You will not live, I will not let you and that bitch stop my plans. I have worked so hard for this and a simple, weak minded, pathetic human WILL NOT STOP ME." The voice said in a low whisper before it started yelling at the young Uzumaki. It sounded cold and hollow with a bit of a growl to it. Nagato didn't need to think that hard to know that this is only one person, actually one god. Ankhseram. But before he could think or do anything he felt excruciating pain.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Nagato screamed in agony as if his whole body was being pierced by senbon needles that had a fire and lightning jutsu on them while they pierced him. He drops to the floor and curls up while screaming so loud that if a regular person heard it they would become deaf in an instant.
"YES! SCREAM MORE YOU INSIGNIFICANT WELP! You believed yourself to be a god at one point hmmm? WELL YOU ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO A REAL GOD, MORTAL AHAHAHA!" Ankhseram yelled/ saying before it turned into maniacal laughter at the end.
Nagato was trying his hardest to not keel over and die but it was becoming harder and harder by the second. After what seemed like eternity but was only a couple of seconds he was about to reach his end, but before that happened he felt the light and love return to the area, as well as his body healing. Then he hears a familiar voice.
"RUN NAGATO, I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I CAN HOLD HIM OFF FOR YOU!" The enchanting voice he recognizes as Kami-chan.
He only took one glance back and saw a battle. Light was clashing against darkness, each trying to overpower the other in the current standstill. Nagato didn't wait any longer and so turned his head forward then he started to run towards the portal that will start him on his journey towards redemption. But immediately his sixth sense kicks in and tells him to duck and he did, just barely dodging a black cloud that seems to have the word death written all over it. He then starts to run as more deaths clouds as he calling them, started to try and hit him, all while avoiding them.
He slides under one before jumping over another one and then rolling to his left to evade another one before he starts running again. But the closer he gets to the portal the more deaths clouds he sees that are blocking him from it. So Nagato takes a page out of Naruto's book and decide to do something so stupid that it actually might work. He raises both of his hands as he runs closer to the now gigantic death cloud and says two words for as long as he could remember.
"Shinra Tensei!" Nagato yelled pushing a lot of his power into the jutsu hoping, no, praying that it would be successful. And as it turned out, luck was in his favor today and shining down on him. He managed to make a hole in the death cloud, not a very big one but one just big enough for him to get through. He dives through the hole and he sees he is getting really close to the portal but the death cloud is right behind him, on his heels chasing him like a bat out of hell. So he decides to try one more Shinra Tensei to propel him towards the portal and keep the death cloud away from him at the same time. But the only problem is he will be damn near out of chakra if he does do it. He may have been revived but his chakra hasn't completely refilled yet so he is taking a gamble here and hopes he is not going to be killed by whoever or whatever finds him when he gets to Earthland. He jumps and turns his body around in mid air while raising his hands and says the two words that he has become so familiar with.
"Shinra Tensei" Nagato exclaimed. He was successful at pushing away the death cloud and propelling him towards the portal. However he used to much chakra so as soon as he enters the portal he falls unconscious. As soon as are red haired protagonist was safe and away the light that was battling the darkness instantly retreated, having no reason to stay and fight the darkness and in turn, Ankhseram.
"RUN YOU INSUFFERABLE BITCH! I WILL KILL YOU AND THAT BOY SOON ENOUGH! AND WHEN I DO THIS UNIVERSE WILL BE MINE, AHAHAHAHA!" Ankhseram yelled, his voice laced with anger with a bit of insanity seeping into his voice as well.
SCENE CHANGE
Nagato didn't know what to do at the moment. He felt himself drifting endlessly in this void but knows he is not dead, only unconscious, but he feels like he is awake at the same time. Though he was able to feel himself being picked up and carried roughly for what seems like an hour or two. Then he hears a door creak open and then he is roughly dropped on what he can guess as a cement floor, then he hears the door close shut before he doesn't hear anything at all. But at least he knows he has most likely made it to Earthland. But before he can think anymore he feels his chakra exhaustion catch up to him before he's out again for the count.
One Small Timeskip Later
It was a while later but Nagato soon felt himself becoming conscious once again. He slowly opens his eyes and sees he is staring at a concrete ceiling with a single light bulb hanging from it. He turns his head to the left and sees a metal door that appears to be locked, then he turns his head to the right and see a bed and another room which he guess must lead to a bathroom. He then tries to stand but has a little bit of difficulty but he is able to stand on his own two feet after a couple of seconds. But then he hears a mysterious voice.
"You're awake!" The mysterious voice said which sounds a bit young but also sounds feminine in tone. Nagato takes a quick look around a hole in the back corner of the room which could be big enough for someones head to be seen. So Nagato walks over to the hole and crouches down to see who it is.
"Hi there! What's your name Mr Red?" The question was asked by a young girl who has shoulder length dark purple hair with red eyes. For clothing she is wearing a cyan blue gown that stops just above her knees.
Nagato just blinks for a second while also wondering who this girl is and where they are at but first he continue the conversation with this mysterious girl.
"Aren't you supposed to give out your own name first when introducing yourself to someone? But to answer your question young one, my name is Nagato Uzumaki." Nagato said with a smile on his face. For some reason this young girl reminded him of when he was a kid, of the fun times he had with Yahiko and Konan, and a bit of his time with Jiraiya sensei.
"Oops, I forgot, ehehehe." The girl said laughing nervously while rubbing the back of her neck. She then coughs into her hand a couple of times before talking again.
"My name is Ultear, Ultear Milkovich. Nice to meet you Nagato!" The now identified Ultear said with a huge smile on her face.
"And who are you calling young one? You look like your the same age as me!" Ultear said with an adorable pout on her face while glaring cutely at him.
"What do you mean? I'm thirty-five years old." Nagato said honestly confused at what Ultear was saying right now.
"Ummm are you sure you didn't hit your head to hard when the guard dropped you into your room yesterday? You can even look at the mirror in the bathroom you have if you don't believe me." Ultear said confused on how someone could think they are that old when they aren't even a third of the way to being that old.
So Nagato got up and walked over and into the bathroom and turned on the lights. He then looks into the mirror and rubs his eyes before looking again.
'What the FUCK! I'M A KID AGAIN?!' Nagato thought in shock at what was happening to him and how this could have happened. He looks to be about the same age as when he lost his parents to the Hidden Leaf shinobi. He even has the same clothes from that point in his life. He starts to think of what could have caused this to happen until he remember a certain goddess.
'Is this what you meant Kami?Make certain things easier for me? What could possibly be easier if I was reverted in age?!' Nagato thought in confusion and anger for a moment or two before he starts to take some calming breaths.
'Okay it is not that bad Nagato calm down. I can probably use this to my advantage to trick people and gather information. If that doesn't work as can always use a Henge if I need to intimidate certain folks.' But before Nagato could think any longer he heard Ultear's voice.
"Are you okay Nagato?" Ultear voice called out in concern making sure if he was okay.
"I'm fine Ultear. I guess you were right, I did hit my head pretty hard but i'm okay now so don't worry alright?" Nagato said in an attempt to make sure she doesn't worry and to also make sure she doesn't know about his past life. If she becomes someone he can trust in the future he may reveal his past to her, but that won't be for a long time if he does decide to do that.
"Anyways what is this place? And where are your parents? They might be worried to death just thinking if you are okay." Nagato said, walking back over to the hole to talk to her and wondering what was going on. But then he noticed Ultear's happy face became sad. And her eyes, he could see untold amount of pain and suffering in those eyes of hers.
"This place is called The Bureau Of Magical Development. I don't exactly know what they do but they have been experimenting on me for a while now. Mama brought me here to get me cured because I had to much magic that it was causing me to become ill, so she was hoping they would cure me. But that was months ago and mama hasn't came back yet. I-I think she didn't want me anymore. *sob* *sob*" Ultear said trying to sound tough but the more she talked the more tears were threatening to spill from her eyes until she couldn't hold it in any longer and just starting to cry.
Nagato felt himself become angry at these people. How could you experiment on a child for your own sick needs and take her away from her mother? Nagato will show them no mercy when he destroys them. But first he has to comfort Ultear and get her to calm down. So he reaches through the hole in the wall and wipes away Ultear's tears and grabs her hand and says some comforting words to help her.
"Shhhh it's okay Ultear I will get us out of here and get you back to your mother. I'm confident she didn't abandon you, these people might have tricked her or something so they could experiment on without interruptions." Nagato said with conviction and determination in his voice.
"Bu-but why? Why would you help me?" Ultear asked being completely confused why this boy would help her when they don't even know each other.
"Because your my new friend. You remind me of a couple of people I used to know, people who I consider family, even if they aren't with me no more. But there was one person who told me that the reason he fights is for his precious people and would do anything for them, to either see them safe, happy, or to just get them to smile. And since your a precious person to me then I will do all I can to help you, just like he would had done." Nagato said while looking straight into Ultear eyes and speaking with a voice that carries strength, resolve, and promise. He still remembers them Yahiko, Konan, Jiraiya sensei and finally Naruto and sees a bit of each of them in Ultear. He may have just met Ultear but being reminded and seeing people close to him somehow have a little part in Ultear made him want to protect her.
Ultear just sat there with wide eyes. Though for some reason she can feel her heartbeat a little faster and doesn't know why. But she will learn in time why it is doing that. But for now she just nods and then ask an important question.
"Umm Nagato how will we get out? They design these rooms to where we can't use are magic at all." Ultear asked while her head is tilted to the side a bit with a question mark floating above her head.
Nagato just smirked a little at this, already loving his decision to keep his chakra and reject magic. He just stood up and walked over to the door before he stood right in front of it. He checked his chakra levels and felt he could go a little bit crazy before he runs dry. He then forms a couple of hand signs before he starts his technique.
"Fire release- Fire Dragon Bullet" Nagato said while exhaling a gigantic flame from his mouth. As soon as the Jutsu collided with the door it was blown off its hinges and into the opposite wall making a huge crater in it with small fires around it. Nagato walks out of the room knowing he has to get Ultear and escape as fast as possible because guards were probably on the way to their location right now. He walks over to Ultear's cell and stops right in front of it.
"Ultear I need you to move away from the door now." Nagato said while bringing his right hand up and waiting for Ultear to move. He heard feet shuffling before it stopped and took that as the signal.
"Shinra Tensei." Nagato muttered before the door suddenly flew away and embedded into the wall right above the bed. Ultear came running out instantly and hugged Nagato.
"That was awesome Nagato! But how can you use your magic when it wasn't supposed to work?"Ultear asked. Nagato was about to answer before they heard an alarm start to blare and a gruff voice speak not to far away from them.
"Over here! It came from this way!" The gruff voice said before they heard multiple footsteps heading their way.
"I'll tell you later. Right now we need to run!" He said before grabbing her hand and high tailing it out of there. They ran away for a minute or two before they turned a corner and seeing a couple of guards heading their way.
"Their they are! Capture them and return the to their cells or else Brain will have our heads!" Shouted the guard who seems to the leader of the group. Nagato used his left hand to make a couple of single hand signs before he launch his attack because his right hand was holding Ultear's left hand currently.
"Water Release- Water Fang Bullet" Nagato said before he sprayed water from his mouth that then formed into a drill like motion. The guards were knocked out before they could even react. Nagato would have killed them usually but he didn't want to do it infront of Ultear so she doesn't see it. They hear more guards coming closer to them so they just kept running faster. They took every turn, rounded every corner but no matter what it always seem like they are never ending. But then they rounded one last corner and see a closed door being protected by armed guards equipped with magic guns.
"Their's the test subjects! Open fire! Don't let them pass no matter what!" One of the guards said before they all started to shoot.
"Bansho Ten'in!" Nagato said before pulling all the guns towards him.
"Lightning Release- Thunderclap Arrow" He then threw the lightning towards the guards adding a lot more power into it. It exploded badly injuring the guards and blowing up the door. They run into the room to now see it is an observatory, with the howling winds in their ears because the glass was destroyed by Nagato jutsu. But before they could move guards come out from the side door and up above from the catwalks and aim their weapons at the two.
*Clap* *Clap* Clap* "You truly are annoying pest, aren't you maggots?" They heard someone clapping and said before the guards parted ways to reveal a man slightly taller and muscular than most with neat silver hair that reaches to his shoulders, dark eyes and dark man has unique markings on his face that take the appearance of straight black lines.
"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Brain and I am the one in charge of this beautiful facility that you brats are trying to destroy and escape from. But I am afraid this is the end of the line for you so let yourselves be captured and return and your tortu- I mean experiment time won't be as painful." Brain said with a dark grin on his face.
As he was talking Nagato and Ultear were slowly backing up until they were near the edge of the observatory. The wind is now very loud in their ears and one wrong move and they will fall to their death. Nagato takes a quick glance at Ultear and sees she is terrified right now. So he gives her hand that he is holding a squeeze and talks low enough that only they she will hear him.
"Don't worry. I said I would get us out of here and I meant it with all of my being, its the promise of a lifetime. But you have to trust me for this next part to work Ultear. You do trust me right?" Nagato asked in a low tone to which she just nods at.
" I do trust you Nagato. You are the first real friend I have ever had in my life so far besides my mother. So that's why I trust you and one day I will get super strong so I can protect you just like how you're protecting me." Ultear said in a equally low voice filled strength, determination, and just smiled at this and mentally thank Kami for his first friend in this new world he has so far.
"On 3 ok?" Nagato said before he sees her nod.
"1" He started counting while they took a step backwards and the guards and Brain took a step forwards.
"2" He said while him and Ultear took another step backwards, standing on the ledge with a bit of their feet off of the edge. The guards and Brain also ready there weapons and magic preparing to fight.
"3!" He shouted before he let himself fall backwards and off the edge, taking Ultear with him.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ultear screamed while holding Nagato tightly as her life depended on it while they both were falling at a fast speed. Nagato just waited a couple more seconds before he went through a sequence of hand seals.
"Summoning Jutsu" Nagato said while attempting to summon something familiar that can get them out of this intact. A huge smoke cloud filled the air while the guards and Brain look on wondering if the two died or lived. But before they knew what happened they heard a loud screech coming from the smoke cloud and out of it comes a gigantic bird with the two children on top of it. But then brain, he sees the red headed boy's eyes, the ones that were being covered by his hair. The eyes are both purple with a ripple pattern in them that spreads over the eyeball. In those eyes he can see three things that start to make him nervous while sweating. Anger, Fury, and Hatred. For a second Brain thought he saw his life flash before his eyes. But that didn't last long because he sees the boy create a black sphere between his hands and throws it into the sky above the facility while muttering two words that will stay with Brain for a long time to come.
"Chibaku Tensei" Nagato said. As soon as he did say it the black sphere starting pulling everything around it closer to it. Nagato already knows what will happen so he commands his summon to fly as far and as fast away as possible. The summon obeys and starts its flight of getting away from the destructive jutsu as fast as possible. Ultear who was quiet for a bit was in silent awe at what she saw, having no idea her new friend was this strong and powerful.
"That was so cool Nagato! Like how you used water and took out those first pair of guards we ran into like they were nothing. Then you use that lightning and zapped them while also somehow pulling there weapons towards us! It was amazing!" Ultear said while zipping around Nagato trying to mimic the way he was fighting while she is speaking.
"Then you summoned this huge birdy that saved us and then you made this weird orb before you tossed it into the air and pull everything into it! And then we- *gasp*" Ultear was saying before she gasped. The reason? Is because she is seeing Nagato's Rinnegan for the first time unlike before when it was covered by his hair.
"Your eyes Nagato." Ultear said while inspecting his eyes to see them more.
"Oh! Ummm- they are- I mean they can-ummm." Nagato stumbled over his words being cautious. He doesn't want to tell Ultear what exactly the rinnegan is just yet because he doesn't want her to be scared of him. So he just looks away until he hears "They're Beautiful"
"Huh?" Nagato said turning to Ultear to make sure that he heard her right.
"You said they're beautiful?" Nagato asked just to make sure he wasn't going insane or anything of the like.
"Mhmm they are! They look so pretty and they are purple just like my hair, well a different shade of purple but you know what I mean." Ultear said with a smile on her face looking into his eyes.
Nagato thought for sure she might of been scared after she seen his rinnegan but she saids they are pretty.
'First time for everything I guess' Nagato thought while feeling a smile form on his face at the compliment that she gave him.
"Ultear, thank you. You are the first one to ever compliment my eyes. You truly are a great friend." Nagato said before he was pulled into a hug courtesy of Ultear.
"No problem. That is what friends are for Nagato-kun." She said while hugging Nagato. Nagato then returns the hug and they stay like that for a bit while riding on the summon in the beautiful orange colored dusk sky as they past by the clouds.
Nagato doesn't know where this road will take him or when it will get dangerous, hard, or difficult but he does know one thing. As long as Ultear is with him then he has no problems with the journey. Unknown to him though is that Ultear is thinking the same thing he is at the moment. They both separate from the hug before they smile at each other and then look towards the horizon as they continue to fly through the sky thinking about different yet similar things.
SCENE CHANGE
Back at the now destroyed Bureau of Magical Development we see a huge crater in the place that the building use to stand at. All types of broken machines, pipes, equipment etc. are scattered all over the now destroyed and barren location. But soon a certain pile of rubble starts to shake before a hand shoots out of it, then another hand followed by arms and then a head which reveals it is Brain. It takes a couple more minutes but soon Brain frees himself from the pile of rubble showing multiple bruises, cuts and a bit of blood on him. He just looks towards the horizon while talking.
"I Don't know who you are or where you came from boy. But you just crossed the wrong person you maggot. Even if it takes me the rest of my life, I WILL FIND YOU AND KILL YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU LOVE TRASH! SO RUN, ENJOY YOUR FREEDOM FOR NOW BUT ONE DAY I WILL FIND YOU AND TAKE MY REVENGE AGAINST YOU! BUT NOT BEFORE I DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU LOVE AND CARE FOR! STARTING WITH THAT GIRL OF YOURS!" Brain yelled out into the now night sky with hate and fury leaking through every word he spoke. Unknown to him but the two won't see each other for a long time, but when they do neither will be alone. And neither of them will let the other live when they do fight one day in the future.
That One Kitsune- And done! That is the second chapter for A Fated Redemption. Now to answer a couple of questions in case you people are wondering. Why didn't Nagato just crush all of the guards and destroy the building from the beginning? Well he has not yet fully recovered all of his chakra and he doesn't know how big the building is or how many guards are within it. He may have sensor capabilities but he wouldn't be able to sense all of it at first. He can't use all of his chakra or death will be awaiting him. Why didn't he kill the guards? He didn't want Ultear to see that. She may hate the place with everything she has but remember she is still young and he doesn't want her to see that at all right now. When will the Romance start? I am going to build the relationship up first before we start that. She will develop feelings for him first before he develop feelings for her and returns her love. Will Ultear still join Grimoire Heart? That question will be answered next chapter. Anyways I hope you glorious people like this chapter and enjoy it if you do then tell me what you think. If you don't like it then i'm sorry but no one if forcing you to read this. Anyways let me know what you people want for this story, you want it to be a love triangle or a harem story. If you also want people genderbent and in the harem then let me know if it does become a harem. Anyways I will see you glorious people next week with Indra in The fox Turned Neko, PEACE!
