Chapter 2: The 6th Element
The ANBU arrived on the scene to see dozens and dozens of unconscious villagers. Theirfaces seemed to be stunned, and their eyes seemed to roll into the back of their heads. They all had this blank, petrified look. There was also a very distinctive chakra trail leading in to the distance. None of the villagers seemed injured, but a dreadful stench hung in the air
Is that crap thought Inu,Ewwww…
Inu followed the chakra trail while the other Anbu used Shunshin to carry the villagers to the hospital. The Anbu and Shunshin quickly disappeared in a puff of smoke, and Inu glanced around and followed the trail, pursuing it with the skill of a Anbu. When he came to a familiar route while following the trail, he wondered if all this had something to do with Uzumaki Naruto, the kid he often ended up saving from something or other. Inu himself bore no grudge to the young Junchuuriki, unlike some of the other Anbus. He was smart enough to know that the Yondaime sealed the Kyuubi inside of him. He thought it was obvious. Aren't demons born demons? Inu pondered suspiciously, But Naruto… he was obviously born human, Inu thought as he just chalked up the villagers' hate to natural stupidity.
Soon Inu arrived at the end of the trail, he found himself at the apartment of the very blond that occupied his thoughts. Inu climbed up the stairs with a quickened pace and then reached the room 603; Naruto's room. He knocked on the door and waited a couple of minutes before knocking again. When no one came to the door the second time he tried the lock. Locked... Inu cursed. Soon he pulled out a small paper clip and picked the lock, soon the door swung open. He entered slowly, expecting the worst, but instead he found Naruto passed out on his bed in his usual bright orange jumpsuit. Though, it was much, much dirtier than normal. The edged of the jumpsuit were charred, with many rips and tears in it. He picked up the boy, bridal style, and quickly made the hand seals for the Shunshin, appearing in the Hokage's office in mere seconds.
"Inu-san, why have you brought Naruto?" asked the old Hokage.
"Hokage-sama, me and the other Anbu arrived at the source of the powerful chakra you sensed and found dozens of unconscious villagers. They did not seem injured too badly, but I had the other Anbu carry the villagers to the hospital, while I followed the chakra trail. It led to Naruto's apartment and I found him sleeping in bed with these tattered clothes on."
"Well then," the Hokage stopped to think for a moment, pondering the information while he decided what to do. Eventually he spoke up, "You are dismissed. I need to talk to Naruto alone."
"Hai, Hokage-sama."
After Inu left, Sarutobi stood up to go and wake up Naruto, but found him already sitting up and rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"Hi Jiji, what's up?" the blond said with the usual bright smile on his face.
"Hello Naruto-kun. How are you feeling?"
"Okay." Naruto stood up and stretched. That's when Sarutobi decided to get down to business.
"Naruto-kun, could you please explain to me what happened tonight."
"Well it was really weird and I didn't understand a lot of it, but I'll try…" Naruto stated before he began the tale.
.:Flashback:.
Naruto had just broken free of his bindings and released bright flames of green and black chakra with killer intent that would have easily scared a Kage. He was under the influence of the Kyuubi, but had enough control to stop himself from killing the villagers. That's when the Kyuubi stopped pumping Naruto chakra and Naruto's eyes had turned back to their normal blue. He looked down to his clothes which were torn to shreds, but under it, there were many cuts, bruises, and scorched skin. Though, it was healing, and quickly too. Naruto looked around to see all the villagers knocked out on the floor and assumed the worst. Not wanting to be blamed for their death, he tried to walk home only to fall flat on his face. He twitched in pain from the fall. When the young Jinchuuriki finally got himself to his knees and elbows, the best he could was crawl to the safety of his apartment.
When Naruto arrived at his home, he opened the door, walked in and locked it. He usually never bothered to lock the door because then revenge-seeking villagers would just break it down and he'd have to repair it himself, but this was different, he felt safer locking the door.
So…tired… the exhausted 9-year old thought as he collapsed on his bed.
.:End Flashback:.
"I swear I didn't kill those people! Jiji, It wasn't me I-"
"It's okay Naruto-kun, I believe you. But that still doesn't explain what that weird chakra was."
"Sorry Jiji, I don't know either." Naruto sat there without the normal happy glow.
"Well forget about that because there's something I want to talk to you about. But first, I want you to promise you won't hate me for not telling you sooner. Okay?"
"Okay," the blond replied with sincerity.
"Remember the stories you heard in the academy about how the Yondaime Hokage killed the Hokage? Well those stories are not exactly true. The Yondaime did sacrifice himself to defeat the Kyuubi, but Bijuus cannot be killed. So he did the next best thing. He sealed it into someone," He looked at Naruto to see his eyes as big as saucers. "He couldn't seal it into an adult because they already had fully developed chakra coils, so he needed a baby. A newborn baby, to be specific. His wife had recently died after having a baby and as the Hokage, he could not ask any other family to give up their child to bear the burden of having their child be the container of a demon."
Naruto's eyes opened even wider and he said, "It was me, wasn't it? He sealed the Kyuubi into me. That's why everybody calls me demon and beats me up," Upon seeing the Sandaime's nod, Naruto gasped in realization. "Then that means… I'm the Yondaime's son."
"Yes Naruto, your father's name was Namikaze Minato and your mother's was Uzumaki Kushina. I hope you understand why your father chose you to be the container of the Kyuubi."
"Yeah…I would've done the same thing. Did my parents have any family?" Naruto asked hopefully.
"No. I'm sorry butyour father was an only child and his parents are dead. As for your mother, she was the only one who survived the massacre of her clan in the old Whirlpool Country. I do not know if her clan had a bloodline and we won't know unless it manifests in you. Anyway, you should get home, you look pretty tired. I'll get you some new clothes and see you in the morning."
"Okay, bye Jiji," Naruto waved.
"Goodbye Naruto-kun."
With that, Naruto walked out of the Hokage's office and headed home.
When he got to his apartment, he took a quick shower and went straight to bed. Although he was exhausted, he couldn't sleep because of his empty stomach. What really sucked was that he did not have the energy to get out of bed and make a cup of ramen. Goddamn, I hate my life. Naruto thought about everything that happened that day. Eventually he started thinking about the Kyuubi and if being its container made him any less human. It was when he was thinking along these lines that he suddenly blacked out. When he woke up, his head ached with pain; he rubbed it and then looked around to see that he was in a sewer. He could see pipes lining the walls and roof. They were lit up with an eerie glow. Some of them were glowing blue, but the majority were pulsing red. Naruto heard a low growling in the distance and, fighting down his fear, he went in the direction the sound came from. When he was a little bit closer, he heard a loud low-pitched voice.
"Come closer kit."
WTF?!. Despite his thoughts and fearful shaking, Naruto did what the voice said and kept on walking.
Soon, he came to a humongous, dark cage. All around him shadows danced off the the walls of the cage. On the cage was a small piece of paper with the kanji for "Seal" on it. When he squinted his eyes, he could see the silhouette of what looked like a big animal in the back of the cave. Then, the large animal came forward.
"So this is the pathetic human that idiot blond sealed me in. You're a mere kit!"
"I take it you're the Kyuubi," Naruto stated, without the previous fear he held before. He was going to face the Kyuubi, with no backing down.
"Hmmm… you're smarter than you look, kit."
"Listen up Kyuubi-teme 'cause I have some questions and I'm only gonna say them once." Naruto stated with more confidence than the average 9-year old.
"You dare talk to the great Kyuubi no Kitsune like that?! Me, King of all Bijuus. The Emperor of Makai. YOU…YOU…You got guts kit, I'll give ya that. The only other person to talk to me like that was that other blond. But he is dead now, just like you'll be soon." The Kyuubi looked down at Naruto with his black and red eyes flashing with anger.
"Shut up you damn fox! This is my mind. You can't hurt me." Naruto retorted as he looked the Kyuubi in the eyes. The Kyuubi could see all the confidence and fearlessness Naruto held in his eyes, but there was more. With his mask dropped, the Kyuubi could see all the pain and sadness Naruto constantly carried around in his heart. He really felt sorry for the little human. Almost sorry enough to apologize because it was mostly his fault. ALMOST. He was the fucking Kyuubi no Kitsune ((A/N: Hell ya!)). He did not apologize!
"I like you kit. What are your questions?"
"What happened to me when those villagers attacked me? One second I was tied up and being burnt alive, and the next I'm free, but I felt like I was empty inside. And what was really scary was I wanted to kill all those people. I know they've been mean to me all my life, but they're still the same people I swore to protect."
"Well to answer your first question you have something that humans aren't supposed to have: a strong elemental affinity for the Chaos element. Humans are only supposed to be able to use 5 kinds of elemental jutsu: Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, and Lightning. Only demons like me can use the 6th, which is Chaos. I think you can use it because you are always at war with yourself. One part of you wants to protect the villagers and have them acknowledge and respect you, but the other part of you wants to exact revenge and massacre the hell out those mofos ((A/N: Lol! Kyuubi's black! It's not racist cuz im black too [Orca: -.-;;)). I'm the one that strengthened that part and that's why you almost killed the villagers."
"But wait. There's still something I don't get. What is chaos?" Naruto asked in confusion.
"First, I need to ask you this. Do you believe in Kami?"
Do I? I never really thought about it? Would Kami allow me to be treated like this? And what does this have to do with anything? Naruto decided to just answer, "Yes."
"Well before Kami created the world, there was only chaos. It has no definite shape or form. It's just a dark void of nothingness," the Kyuubi answered with all knowingness.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, but I'll take your word for it."
"And there's something else you should know."
"What is it?" Naruto asked, confuzzled.
"When you used Chaos chakra for the first time, the seal weakened and more of my chakra was absorbed into your system and more and more will continue to be absorbed as time goes by. And since the seal weakened I was able to rearrange your genetic code and unlock your bloodline. I don't know what it's called, but I know it lets you melt into things. It's perfect for stealth and your clan was probably all assassins because of this. Since you're obviously gonna be powerful, you should tell that 'Jiji' of yours to get you someone strong to train and teach you how to control all your power."
Naruto, who was surprised but didn't show it, simply replied, "Okay, I'll tell him. If that's all I need to know, then tell me how to get back to the real world."
"I take back what I said about you not being an idiot. All you have to do is close your eyes and concentrate on where you were and you'll be back."
Naruto did what he was told and found himself in his bed in the exact same position he was in before he blacked out. And then he realized something: he was still tired as hell. His hunger forgotten, he instantly fell asleep, opting to tell the Hokage about everything he'd just learned in the morning.
AND………DONE. I HOPE I GET A LOT OF REVIEWS CUZ SO FAR I ONLY HAVE LIKE 4. AND IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEA WHAT I SHOULD NAME NARUTO'S BLOODLINE SEND IT TO ME. AND IF ITS IN JAPANESESE SEND THE TRANSLATION TOO.PLZ R&R!
