Hello everyone and welcome back to another chapter. This chapter will show you the start of Naruto's journey…and some details.
Also so everyone knows, this story takes place 5 years pre-cannon so Naruto is the same age as Itachi who is a girl in this fic (Izumi)….I know some might reach the conclusion that would be the pairing but it isn't. For now anyways.
You'll see.
Also I'm afraid that I won't be able to write another chapter for some time….at least 4 month.
Some who might actually like this story might not like that fact but unfortunately I am going through an important stage in my studies and need to focus on school and life.
However I promise to do my best to get you the next chapter in each holiday that I can.
Also for the first chapter there so very few views, favs, follows and reviews…I know that could be because it's new and still fresh but I would really like it if you guys just tell me what you think.
I'm still new to story writing so please tell me if I'm doing something right, wrong, boring, exciting or whatever….thank you in advance.
Hope you enjoy:
(Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto,Dmc or any other elements you may see in this story)
(Konoha- 1985 years later)
A beautiful woman can be seen walking down the streets of a busy and noisy village. The woman had a huge smile on her lovely face, as she was rubbing her bloated stomach lovingly and almost reverently. The woman was well-known around the village for her beauty. She had a slender, but feminine build, fair skin, violet eyes, fiery red hair with strands that framed both sides of her face and a black clip that parts her hair to the left. She can be seen wearing an outfit consisting of a high-collared, sleeveless blouse under a long, loose-fitting dress. This woman is known as Kushina Uzumaki, and unknown to all but a select few, she is the second jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Yoko.
As she is walking down the street, the smile never leaving her face she couldn't help but think how her life was going to change on this day; as after today she would become a mother, she couldn't help herself as she saw kids running around playing together and laughing all the while they're parents kept a lookout on them to make sure they don't get into trouble. She couldn't help but imagine herself in a park playing with her soon to be born son on the swings, or making dinner while watching her husband and son playing ninja in the backyard.
She let out a happy sigh at the thought; she was finally going to make her dream of having a family with the man she loved and the baby that she would fall in love with come true.
She was cut out of her musing when she heard someone call out her name. Turning around, she saw the third Hokage's wife, Biwako Sarutobi.
"Kushina-chan there you are, I've been looking for you for the last two hours! Where have you been?" Biwako asked while panting.
'Her old age must be getting to her' mused Kushina to herself as she answered "Forgive me Biwako-sama; I was just walking around the village, is it time already?" asked Kushina giddily.
"Yes it is, now we have to go to the outpost to get ready for the baby's delivery." replied Biwako.
"Ok then, let's go." replied Kushina with a fist pump, as she started marching in the direction of the outpost.
'Same old Kushina, she hasn't changed at all.' thought Biwako with a smile, as she walked behind Kushina.
As they were walking down the streets, Kushina spotted a woman carrying a small wrapped up bundle. She immediately recognized her childhood best friend and called out to her.
The woman turned at her name being called, and spotted her best friend and waved to her with her unoccupied hand.
The woman was a fair-skinned woman with long, black hair with tall bangs hanging on either side of her face to roughly frame her cheeks and black eyes. She was wearing a light-yellow apron over a brown blouse, a dark purple skirt and blue shinobi sandals.
The woman's name is Mikoto Uchiha, the Uchiha clan head's wife, and cradled in her hands, was her 2 day old daughter who she had named Izumi Uchiha.
"Hey Mikoto-chan, how are you doing?...is that her?" asked Kushina as she looked at the wrapped bundle in her friends hands.
Mikoto smiled as she answered "I am fine Kushina-chan and yes this is her, my little Izumi-chan," answered Mikoto as she nuzzled the newborns face which caused her to stir in her sleep and then open her black eyes and look around her curiously.
Kushina squealed as she looked at the baby who focused on her and said "aah she's so cute…ooh I can't wait for her and Naruto-chan to meet. I'm sure they'll be best friends." Said Kushina as she rubbed her stomach.
Mikoto looked at Kushina in amusement as she asked "Naruto-chan? That's the name you're going to name your child? Poor little boy, his parents named him fish cake." muttered Mikoto, as she shook her head, trying to stop her giggles while failing miserably.
Kushina's eyebrow ticked as she glared at her friend playfully and announced "It's not fishcake; it means Maelstrom." ground out Kushina, through gritted teeth only for Mikoto to wave her free hand dismissively.
"Whatever you say Kushina-chan, so when is the delivery date?" asked a curious Mikoto.
"Today is the day that Naruto-chan will be born…speaking of which where is…."trailed off Kushina, while paling as she turned her head at a sound of a cough, only to find Biwako standing there with her arms crossed and a blank expression on her wrinkly face.
"You know you're supposed to keep this delivery a secret right Kushina-chan?" Biwako Asked.
Kushina started chuckling sheepishly and rubbing the back of her head and said "I might have forgotten that ttebane."
Biwako released a sigh as she continued walking, while dragging Kushina with her by her arm.
As they walked past Mikoto, Kushina said "I'll see you later Mikoto-chan…bye" she waved to her and left through the gates.
Mikoto could shake her head and laugh as she looked at where Kushina had went and then turned back to her baby and said "well I guess we should get back home..Neh Izumi-chan?"
As she walked, Mikoto couldn't help but have this ominous feeling like something bad was going to happen.
'Please be careful Kushina-chan' thought Mikoto as she looked at the Hokage monument in the distance and continued on her way home to the Uchiha compound, not knowing that this would be the last she would ever see her best friend.
(Kyuubi attack-same as canon)
(Konoha-six years later-7:30 pm)
At a small ramen stand in the village of Konoha, there was a small group of six people there enjoying a nice meal of ramen for dinner. Three of these people looked alike in some regards obviously meaning that these people were family. The woman can be identified as an older Mikoto Uchiha who can be seen holding a one year old toddler who kept squirming around in her arms every time he saw something new. The baby can be identified as Mikoto's second child and first son Sasuke. And then there were two little girls who sat on each side to a boy. The first little girl was about six and looked like a miniaturized version of her mother with the same black hair and black eyes she was wearing a blue Yukata with peach blossoms that went down past her knees with a red obi that had with the Uchiha symbol on the back of it, this was Izumi Uchiha. The other girl can be seen as a slender girl with long, brown hair and eyes, plus fair skin. She is wearing a white robe with the sleeves folded, and a bright white bandanna, this was Ayame Ichiraku.
The one that stood out the most though was the little boy, he was also six and had spiky sun kissed blonde hair that seemed to go in every direction possible with bright blue eyes his most noticing was the three whisker marks, and he was wearing a white shirt with a red swirl on the back and orange shorts. He had big goofy grin on his face that seemed to show pure happiness while he ate his ramen, this one was Naruto Uzumaki.
Mikoto had always known who his parents were, and had confronted the third about it. When she told him her theories and who she believed to be Naruto's parents, The third broke and told her the truth about who Naruto's parents were, after his explanation he asked Mikoto to keep it a secret and to not tell Naruto out of fear that he would tell people his heritage, and then Iwa would demand his death with the threat of war, and with Konoha weakened after the Kyuubi attack, it would be near impossible to win a war. Mikoto at first wouldn't agree and told him that he deserved to know of his parents and his burden.
Hiruzen ordered her to not tell him and asked her if any child deserves to know that they bear such a burden. It took a little more convincing and some threatening until Mikoto finally agreed, but before she left however she had warned that should anything bad happen to him, that he was responsible for denying an innocent child the knowledge of his parents and his family.
As they ate their ramen with the boy gorging down the food like there was no tomorrow for him, as if to him that day would be his last day on earth. "Hey Naruto-kun the academy will be starting up soon, you will be joining it, right?" Izumi asked curiously.
"Yeah I can't wait I'm so excited, I'll be a step closer to being the Hokage," Naruto said.
"I know you can become Hokage Naruto-kun I believe in you." said Ayame with a blush on her face.
"Thank you Ayame-chan I promise I won't disappoint you." replied Naruto, as he hugged her, happy that someone other than himself believed in him.
Meanwhile, Ayame was lost in the hug that Naruto was giving her, and so she didn't notice Izumi's eyebrow ticking at the hug.
The two adults shared a knowing look as they looked upon the three children. It was no secret to any who knew the kids, that Ayame and Izumi had a small rivalry for the blond's affection, well everyone could see it but Naruto himself.
Deciding to save Ayame from her daughter's wrath, Mikoto spoke "True you'll be a step closer but you would still have a long way to go before you can make that happen," Mikoto said with a small smile.
"Yes but I'll still make it happen, I promise dattebayo," replied Naruto with a grin and a fist pump.
The small group laughed as they enjoyed their ramen peacefully, but all things must come to an end sooner or later. Soon they had to go their separate ways, Naruto was sad that it came to an end even though to him it seemed to just begin.
"See you tomorrow Naruto-kun," Izumi said as she hugged Naruto with a smile on her face, Naruto didn't know why she had a small tint of red on her cheeks.
"Don't forget to come back here tomorrow ok?" Ayame said as she hugged him after he was released form Izumi.
Mikoto then came up to him and hugged him and said, "Goodbye, see you tomorrow."
Naruto turned around and started to walk back to his apartment, as both little girls shared a look and nodded to each other, he stopped when he heard the two little girls' voices say, "Naruto! Wait!"
Naruto turned around and saw both running up to him with something in their pockets. Naruto looked at them and asked, "Something wrong Izumi-chan, Ayame-chan?"
Both girls looked at him with a smile causing Naruto to smile as Izumi said, "Naruto-kun, hold out your hand please we have a surprise for you."
Naruto did as he was told and closed his eyes, and after a few seconds he felt something cold in his hand. When Naruto opened his eyes he saw a silver locket in the shape of an oval with a diamond pattern and a small red ruby in the middle, Naruto looked up at them and saw that they both had smiles on their faces. "Naruto-kun look there's more to it," she pressed a small button on the side of it and Naruto heard a small click.
When Naruto heard the click, he saw that half of the locket could now move freely, Naruto lifted the other half of the locket and saw a photo of him, Izumi and Ayame with their arms around each other and a smile on their faces. On the other side of it Naruto saw an inscription that said 'Never forget' and couldn't help but like it even more.
Naruto looked up at them and saw both girls showing similar lockets around their necks and gave them his big goofy grin with tears of happiness in his eyes and hugged both girls and said, "Thank you so much!"
They would have said something about being so close to each other, if they were not lost in their own la la lands. Izumi's face was as red as a tomato and Ayame was not faring better. Naruto didn't know but both Mikoto and Teuchi both knew the girls really liked Naruto and had developed a bond ever since they met on their fifth birthday.
"W-w-well Naru-Naruto-kun I got go, I mean got to go see you to-tomar-tomorrow," Izumi stuttered. She then ran off heading back towards her family, with Ayame waving at him and then going back to the restaurant.
After they left Naruto stuffed the locket into his pocket, as he heard people whispering and several of them were along the lines of, "Hey look, it's the Kyuubi brat, and what were those other children doing with that thing," one villager whispered.
"That crest, wasn't that the symbol of the Uchiha clan on that other kid's clothes?"
"What was a member of the Uchiha clan doing with that...thing?"
As Naruto made his way back to his apartment, he ignored the looks and glares that the people were sending and kept up the image he wanted them to see. He wanted them to see a happy-go-lucky kid. Naruto's thoughts then moved to his precious people mainly those two families.
Naruto enjoyed every moment he spent with those people there, because unlike most of the people in Konoha who glared at him with hatred, those people accepted him with open arms. Naruto treated everyday like it was his last day alive and cherished every moment for a reason.
He didn't know why everyone seemed to harbor ill intent to him, he was sure he had never done anything that could permit this kind of reaction from the villagers. All he knew was that it somehow involved the Kyuubi attack six years ago. And while he had asked the third Hokage for the reason; he would always tell him that he should work and strive to get their recognition, and then he would tell him of the heroic stories of all the past Hokage's.
Naruto may act dumb, however he was truly smart and he could what the old Hokage wanted of him. He wanted Naruto to protect the village, to seek their approval and become a hero to them.
However there was one thing wrong with that. He simply doesn't wish to protect the people who would sooner kill him if gives the chance.
There have been attempts on his life by drunken villagers and attacks by the old and seasoned Chunnin and Gennin who truly wished for his death. And because he cared for those two families, he simply couldn't accept their help as that can be seen as them aiding him and could cause his attackers to harm them.
If that happened he would never be able to forgive himself.
He was brought out of his musings, when he found himself surrounded by five newly promoted Gennin.
'I must have been very deep in my thoughts not to notice' thought Naruto as he studied them on the inside while keeping his façade on the outside.
"Looky here fellas, if it isn't little Naruto, what do you think we should do?" asked one of them.
"What do you want you jerks?" asked Naruto with a scowl and narrowed eyes.
"What we want is for you to stay away from the Uchiha heiress, you monster." spat one of the older looking Gennin.
"Oh yeah, what's it to you who I play with?" asked Naruto.
"Are you challenging us you monster?" asked another one of them.
"Let's get him." yelled the first as they all jumped and started beating him to the ground.
(Konoha-park 2 hours later)
"Ugh," the sound of groaning could be heard in the small neck of the woods. The origin of which came from a young boy. Badly bruised and dried blood here and there all over his clothes.
As he woke up, Naruto couldn't help but scowl at the injuries his body had sustained. The only thing he could think of now was to get to his apartment unnoticed and get some rest.
After the bullies had had their fun they had dragged him to one of the area's bars, where there were some drunken villagers who also started beating him while throwing name at him like "Demon brat" and "Monster". Once they had their fill they threw him in the forest and left while feeling accomplished and thinking they had broken him.
Yet all they had done was succeeding in making him feel even more anger and frustration at his existence in this village.
As he was walking down the street late at night, he started to curse his existence and doubting himself.
Why was it him that always had to suffer?
What had he done to deserve this fate?
He can't live like this anymore…he had to do something.
His decision made, he started running to his apartment not wanting to spend another second in this pathetic village that would abuse him without bothering to explain why.
As he entered his apartment, he ignored the bugs and rodents that would scurry around in a hurry and entered his room, and then removed the rug and four planks of the wooden flour to show a tunnel that would lead him out of the village. He had made it if he ever needed an emergency escape and it would seem that plan is going to pay off.
As he inspected the hole, he started to feel dizzy and remembered that he needed some rest before attempting anything, so he headed off to his bed and collapsed on it and immediately fell asleep.
However he would never had thought that that day would be the day that would change his life forever.
(Mindscape)
As Naruto woke up, he looked around him in wonder. He was sure that he had went to sleep in his bed, and now he somehow ended up in some kind of a sewer with six pipes, three on each side one containing a blue liquid and the other containing red liquid with the third on both sides empty, as if it was dormant or clogged.
"Hello, is anybody there?" yelled Naruto as he looked both sides of the sewer.
Receiving no answer, and realizing if he wanted to know where he was he had to move, he started heading the same direction as the sewer pipes were headed. After walking for what seemed to be hours which were in reality a few minutes he finally reached a large room with a gate held shut by a piece of paper with the kanji for "seal" on it.
As he was standing there, he suddenly heard the sound of malicious laughter as a pair of huge red eyes with a black slit in the middle opened and a maw full of razor-sharp teeth appeared in a grin.
"Well, well, well it would seem that my jailor has finally decided to visit me…to what do I owe the honors of this visit?"
As Naruto stared at the being in front with calm calculating eyes with the being staring back at him, the being then suddenly lost its grin as it stared his jailer in the eye.
After a few moments Naruto spoke, "Now that we are being serious who are you, where am I, and how do I get back to my apartment?" asked Naruto seriously.
"Very well I shall divulge the information that you ask for, I AM THE KYUUBI NO YOKO and we are currently in your mindscape and you can get out of here by simply waking up," answered the Kyuubi truthfully. "Now that I have answered your questions I believe I am allowed some answers of my own." Said the Kyuubi as he exited the shadow of the cage and showed himself to Naruto who stared at him and analyzed him. The Kyuubi was huge, its body was covered in reddish-orange colored fur, but the most notable feature of the creature was the nine tails swinging back and forth behind it.
As Naruto processed the answers Kyuubi gave him, he responded with a nod to Kyuubi's inquiry.
"How is it that you are calm even after you have the knowledge of me being sealed within you? And do not lie to me as I can sense when you are. "Asked the Kyuubi.
"I always had my doubts, I have been called demon and fox brat many times, I always heal faster than anyone that I can think of and also the worst days of my life are on my birthdays which are coincidentally the same day you attacked." answered Naruto "now that I've answered your questions, I ask that you answer mine….tell me everything you know about me"
Kyuubi stared at Naruto with surprised eyes. He could tell the boy had been completely truthful and had not lied in his explanation, the boy must be incredibly smart, and his analytical mind can be a great weapon. He could already feel the boy was too strong-willed for him to influence and so had made the decision of having Naruto on his side would be more beneficial than being enemies.
"Are you sure? The knowledge I have about you may not please you." replied the Kyuubi however seeing his determined eyes made him sigh and resign to telling him everything and so he did.
"Very well…Your name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, your mother was Kushina Uzumaki, my former vessel who was related to Mito Uzumaki the First Hokage's wife. She died the night of me being sealed into you, if you think that she abandoned you."
"And my father this Namikaze I have heard of the name but I don't remember from where?" Naruto asked as he glared at the fox. Wondering why his status as a jinchuuriki was revealed and not his mothers and Mito's status. The old man knew that and didn't bother to hide his status, Naruto was angry at the old man and his anger was growing by the minute. And he felt he should know the name Namikaze as if he had met someone or heard someone with that name.
"Your father was the…fourth Hokage who sealed me into you."
Naruto stared at Kyuubi on the outside, while on the inside he could feel his anger growing at that knowledge. "What was the situation during the sealing? Did he have any plans made for me?" asked Naruto.
Kyuubi looked at him with serious eyes, and answered "No. The sealing was not supposed to happen, however events occurred that forced him to do it. Though he had the option of sealing me into your dying mother and escaping with you, which was Kushina's idea, he refused and stuck to his plan. And this is the result."
Naruto's anger was growing even larger by the minute; he had a scowl on his face and asked, "Did anyone offer to take his place in the sealing or maybe tried to make him change his mind?"
Kyuubi nodded with serious look on his face and said, "Yes the old man as you call him and...Your Godfather who if I remember right, whose name was Jiraiya the toad sage tried to reason with him, but failed."
"The old man and my Godfather," Naruto growled out, his anger finally reaching the breaking point.
Naruto's glare intensified and his face showed rage, pure rage at being lied to so many times by the old man about why he was hated and who his parents were, all that he had to suffer because of that one man, because of his own father, Naruto yelled out in hatred for his father. "THAT BASTARD!"
Naruto got down on his knees in his mindscape and was now unknowingly drawing on Kyuubi's chakra around his body; he started slamming his arms down in anger on the floor of the mindscape. Naruto started screaming out in frustration and anger, if he was paying attention to himself he would've noticed a red and blue aura started to surround his body on both sides and his eyes were starting to glow his left red and his right blue, they glowed so brightly that their seemed to be nothing in them but a bright red and blue glow, that's when both aura's started to clash, which in the end resulted with the red aura that surrounded his body, while the blue aura darkened to an indigo color with his eyes still red and blue with nothing in them except the glow. His own hands started to glow until two marks surfaced on his palms of two overlapping diamonds that surged with the indigo aura.
Kyuubi could only stare wondering what was happening to his jailor until a familiar signature had hit him.
'This power it… it can't be! I thought that his line died ages ago!' Kyuubi thought as he watched the boy. The boy stood up and Kyuubi saw instead of a blonde hair and tanned skin boy, he saw a silver haired and pale skin boy with glowing red and blue eyes and a the red aura surrounding darkening into an indigo him but this time with the addition of runes the shape of tribal marks projecting of his body and face with the blue color. (so basically DMC5 Dante DT with tribal marks and lines all over his hands and face kind of like the sage of six paths cloak cannon Naruto has instead of black they are indigo (bluish purple) ).
"Naruto you must calm yourself now!" ordered the Kyuubi.
That seemed to bring him back as he took deep breaths to calm himself only for the aura and runes to vanish leaving silver spiky hair, pale skin and Heterochromia eyes with the left being red and the right being blue. As he calmed down he finally noticed the changes that happened to him and asked in a panicked voice "What happened to me?!" he yelled as he stared at his reflection and then saw the marks on his hands.
As he stared, Kyuubi was thinking to himself 'This changes everything, if he truly descends from the Devil Slayer Vergil than this truly changes things' " I know what just happened to you, Naruto." bringing Naruto's attention onto himself.
"Well...Don't keep me hanging, what happened to me?" asked Naruto in a lightly raised voice.
"You are a descendent of Vergil Sparda!"
"Vergil Sparda? Who's he?"
Kyuubi cleared his throat knowing that this story was probably going to take some time to do, "Long ago, almost 2,000 years back or something like that, there was a full-out war between Humans and Demons in a different world. Humans fought to keep their race and the demons to destroy it. The demons were led by a powerful demon prince named Mundus. Mundus wanted control of the entire human world. He amassed an army and selected demons of great power to lead them. One was named Sparda. At first, Sparda fought the humans and with his army, slaughtered many. However, one day, according to legend, he 'woke up to justice,' which I believe is a load of bullshit, anyway."
"He turned on Mundus and his fellow demons and fought against them. Single handedly, he fought Mundus's armies until he finally returned to hell to defeat Mundus himself. They fought long and hard until finally he defeated Mundus. He sealed Mundus away and forced his armies to separate. He poured his entire being into his sword and sealed the portal to the demon realm. He then set demonic guards to keep the portal safe and then disappeared, only appearing in various times throughout the ages to protect humanity. However since he had most of his power sealed on the other side of the gates to hell, he had lost his immortality as the years went by."
"After that Sparda had met and fell in love with a human named Eva, and had sired two children, one was named Dante who represented Sparda's humanity and emotions, he became a great warrior and had saved that world many times as he stopped the demons who attempted to rule the human world after Sparda's death, he was also the one who went to Hell and defeated and the demon prince Mundus himself once and for all. The other son was named Vergil, and he represented Sparda's devil side and thirst for power, he was sent to Hell as punishment for attempting to open the gates and unleash all the demons there in his quest to get power and had learned his lesson there, he was also the one who followed Juubi who is one of the demon princes strongest generals into this world and helped the sage of six paths win and create the shinobi era, he is also your great ancestor." finished Kyuubi his long story, he then looked to see Naruto's reaction and he was not surprised to see him immersed in the story.
"That's completely unbelievable, yet I know you're not lying so it must be true," spoke Naruto in awe as he fell on his butt unable to stay standing "wow".
Kyuubi stared at Naruto as he considered the thought he had in mind.
"Listen here Kid I'm willing to cut a deal with you, in exchange for a small amount of freedom; I shall become your first Devil Arm."
"Why the hell are you willing to help me?" Naruto asked, demons were devious, he knew that you should never trust no matter what the offer was. He figured that it probably wasn't like them to just offer up their power to anyone.
"Because Sparda's are notoriously powerful and won't be killed easily. Even without this power you've unlocked, I've been watching you kid. I know I can't corrupt you enough to let the seal off even if I tried. With this power, you would just resist me even more anyway. At least with this, I can get some form of freedom and by being your Devil arm you'll also be able to summon me as you wish."
Naruto thought it over and he would need a weapon that would help him out in the future, "Fine we have a deal, so what happens now?" Naruto saw that the mindscape and Kyuubi was starting to fade away and asked, "What's happening?"
"It would seem that you are waking up?"
"I see... can I talk to you again?" Naruto asked the giant fox who had a smirk on his face.
"This is your mindscape, all you have to do is think what you want to say and I will hear you even though I will be a weapon we will be able to communicate with each other, if you need an example it will be as if you are a jinchuuriki without a demon sealed inside of you," the fox responded.
"One more thing, what's your name? I doubt that Kyuubi is you real name," Naruto said as he began to fade away.
"You're right," Kyuubi said, "its Kurama." Before Naruto faded away he nodded showing that he heard the fox's name.
(Konoha-Naruto's apartment-1 hour later)
As he opened his mismatched eyes, Naruto surveyed the apartment around him and stopped at a mirror. As he looked at himself and saw that his skin was pale and that his hair had turned into light silver in color and it was still as spiky as ever except now it had a few extra spikes in the front and his eyes had become mismatched with one red and the other blue. He also noticed he had gotten taller where before he was 3.4 ft. he had become 4.3ft. He then lifted his hands to his face and stared at the marks on them and wondered what they were supposed to do, but the most noticeable change was the whisker marks or better yet lack of. His most noticeable feature gone like it was never there.
'I got to tell the old man.' Naruto thought as he made his way towards the door, Naruto grabbed the knob to the door but before he opened the door another thought entered his head.
'Why let him know, when he was the one who let them have their way with you, who lied to you so many times in the past.'
Naruto stopped thinking of a reason why. A reason to tell him of the change, but no matter how hard he thought no reason came to mind. Nothing at all to add to the argument that he should. In fact the reason to not tell him and leave just increased. Soon Naruto's hand left the handle and another thought entered his head.
'This is it. This is it; this is the perfect time to leave. I don't look anything like my old self. I got the way out of the leaf, but they'll just send people out looking for me if I just leave, so what to do?'
'Kurama you there?'
"Yeah I'm here, what do you need?"
'Do you know a Jutsu that makes physical clones?'
"Yes the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (as if you don't know but anyways, Shadow Clone Jutsu), it will make solid clones an all the information will be passed down to you when they are destroyed, your mother used this one allot."
'How do I do it?'
"To do it you have to make a ram sign, and to save us both time, since you'll ask anyway make a cross sign. What are you planning?"
'Let's just say through the ashes of one, a new life is born.'
Naruto got his hands into the cross position and made several clones, he then had the clones use the Henge (transformation) Jutsu that Mikoto-obasan taught him to turn them into random people. Since the academy was going to be starting soon, she decided to help train Naruto and Izumi in the basic Justus of the academy. Which were the Henge, Kawarimi (Substitution), and even the Bunshin (Clone) Jutsu which Naruto failed horribly at doing.
"Alright one of you guys go get a couple of shinobi clothes to fit me now preferably black and a travelling cloak, here's some cash while the other see if you can steal some explosive note from a shinobi gear store," Naruto said as he handed some money to one clone. The clones nodded, each of them running off to get their respective item.
"The rest of you keep watch for any ANBU until the other two come back, this all depends on luck and timing." The clones nodded and left the room to blend in with the people, leaving another clone of Naruto who was now moving the rug off the hatch and was making sure it was good.
As Naruto moved towards the window and looked up at the night sky, he couldn't help but want to stay, not for Konoha, but for his precious people, Izumi-chan, Ayame-chan, Mikoto-obasan and Teuchi-ojisan. Naruto dug his arm into his pocket and pulled out the locket that Izumi and Ayame gave him; he opened the locket and looked at the picture inside of it. He stared at it for a few minutes in silence as he remembered all the happy time he spent with them, his head then dropped and he had a few tears rolling down his face, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
Naruto wiped the tears away and then made his way to his bed, Naruto took out a backpack from under his bed, and he filled the bag with his food and a journal.
Naruto placed the bag on his back and then turned his head to the door when he heard a knock. A clone opened the door and he was the one who bought the clothes and said, "Boss were back, what next?"
"Give me the clothes, while the rest take all the explosive notes and plant them all over the room and apartment building." ordered Naruto as he got dressed in a black skin-tight pants with black boots and a long-sleeved kimono top that reached long enough hid the marks on his palms.
'Hey Kurama, do you know what these marks are supposed to do?' asked Naruto as he finished wearing his clothes and pulled on the black cloak that covered his entire body.
"Yes I do, Vergil was also known to use a bloodline known as Meiton (dark release) that can be used with the marks and can render Ninjutsu ineffective against the user" answered Kurama.
'Really….How so?' Naruto asked with his interest piqued as he headed to the hatch.
"It has the ability to suck the chakra out of any Ninjutsu and can even absorb chakra with physical contact with the target" replied Kurama.
'Can you teach me how to use it?' asked Naruto with some hope in his voice.
"I am afraid I can't since I have only seen it in combat, maybe I'll let you my memories of it and you can learn it yourself, also Naruto there is another ability that you have, I can feel it in you but you have yet to unlock it. Later once we are safe I'll tell you what it is." answered Kurama.
'Oh ok I guess...Talk to you later' thought Naruto as he cut the conversation and focused on his clones as he crouched near the hatch, "Are we ready?" Asked Naruto.
"Hai" replied all the clones together, "Alright some of you go and blend in with the crowd, while the rest detonate and dispel in half an hour, go" ordered Naruto as he got into the hatch while the clones did as ordered.
That would mark the last time anyone would ever see Naruto Uzumaki for from his ashes a new legend shall rise….the legend of the Dark Shinobi Sparda.
(Konoha-apartment building-30 minutes later)
The clones that Naruto created were standing outside the building, one clone said, "ready boys?" as the other clones nodded, the first one channeled his chakra and made the snake hand seal which caused the tags to detonate, it didn't take too long for the fire and explosives to spread out and smoke to rise up into the sky, the building was soon completely ablaze one clone stepped forward and said, "guys we got to go now, their bound to notice this."
"Right let's go!"
The clones then ran as fast as they could in different directions, it didn't matter if they were caught, but it would draw suspicion that Naruto wanted to avoid. The clones easily found a hiding place among the many buildings an alley ways in the district. They watched as several ANBU showed up and performed some water Jutsu to hopefully put out the flames before the flames could spread to other buildings in the area.
Then they saw the old man himself appear with a look of horror on his face. There were several ANBU around him and one with a dog mask on his face with gravity defying silver hair and another female purple haired female with a cat mask, they couldn't see their faces but they knew that they were afraid and hoping that Naruto got out. People started coming out of their homes and saw that the building that the 'demon' lived in was on fire. The Hokage and both ANBU operatives tried to run in and see if Naruto was in the building, but they were stopped by several ANBU that grabbed them and prevented them from going in. Just as the Hokage was about to command them to let him go the building started to collapse on itself, and with a loud crash the building had fallen to the ground.
The ANBU had let them go and did several more water Justus to douse the remaining flames. The Hokage got down on his knees as tears were starting to fall down his face. The Hokage raised his hand and then made a fist as he slammed it into the ground, one of the clones managed to hear him say, "Naruto I'm so sorry…I should have done more… but I allowed my stupid belief to blind me… please forgive me."
The male ANBU that tried to run in also got down on his knees and slammed it into the ground, as he then let out a scream of sadness and anguish. As for the female, she had broken down crying on her knees as some guy came and hugged to comfort her, and for her to hang on to him as she wept. The civilians that saw him as a demon were cheering in happiness that the demon was dead. The clones having enough decided to dispel themselves to stop watching this event.
(Outside of Konoha-same time)
Naruto reached the end of the tunnel and kicked open the door to the tunnel. Light immediately flooded into the tunnel, Naruto went through and took in a large whiff of fresh air. Naruto then let out a content sigh and thought, 'feels good to breathe in fresh air after being in that tunnel.'
"So Naruto where are we going?" Kurama asked.
'No that doesn't feel right anymore,' Naruto thought.
"What doesn't feel right?"
'That name, my name it doesn't feel right anymore, that's what my par… no that's what Minato and Kushina called me, but it doesn't feel right anymore. Naruto died in that fire today, and from Naruto Uzumaki's ashes…Sparda was born. That's who I am now. I am Sparda now and I will make my own mark on the world.'
"I know you will boy, I know you will, but first where are we going?"
'I don't know, do you have any ideas Kurama?' spoke Sparda
"Yes I do, go east to Uzushiogakure (land of whirlpools); we can use that island as a base of operations and for you to start your training."
'Alright good idea, let's get going' Sparda responded.
Sparda then made his way east as he let the wind be his guide, if he bothered to look back at the village he would see smoke rising up into the sky. The clones' memories entered his head and he shook his head refusing to think about it. However even though he was leaving a place that had hated him since he was born, there were tears going down his face, those tears weren't for the leaf… they were for leaving the people closest to his heart.
As you may have noticed my Naruto's history is basically a remix of a story that was my inspiration to write this one.
Please give a special round of applause to Nero Angelo Sparda who was the one who inspired me to write this story with his "Rise of a New Devil" story and being gracious enough to allow me to use his story as a base for mine with some changes and different facts.
I'm telling you guys from now I will never abandon this story and I intend on finishing all the way to the 4 shinobi war.
I am simply going to take my time on it and have fun writing it even if no one read or liked it.
Also I could use some help...I plan on introducing Killer Bee to the story in a few chapters...the problem is that I suck at rap.
So if anyone thinks he/she can imitate Bee or know an author who can please recommend them to me or PM me to help.
Till next time.
PS. Thanks again Nero Angelo Sparda for letting me do this and I hope you are reading this. I would be honored if you are.
PSS. There might be a small chance of me updating this story in two weeks as I have a national holiday for a week, and if so it will be the reaction chapter to his escape.
