Chapter 2
Hello Sensei
' This is a total disaster.' said thoughts were coming from none other than the sandaime Hokage.
It had been several days since the 'Uchiha Massacre' as the villagers so dubbed it and also Naruto hasnt been seen since then, he asked Kakashi (dog) Yuugao (neko) and Yamato ( bear) to look for him but so far they came up empty handed it seemed as though he just dissappered off the face of the earth.
" Hokage-Sama I believe I know what happened to Naruto-kun"
After hearing this Sarutobi looked up to see none other than Kakashi standing right in front of him, though Kakashi had his mask on but anyone could tell that he had a truly depressing look on him.
" Please continue Kakashi"
"Yes Hokage-sama"
Kakashi took in a deep breath and sighed, getting himself mentally prepared to tell the Hokage what he found out from the villagers not even an hour ago.
" Hokage-Sama I noticed that some of the villagers were acting a tad unusual due to the fact of what happened a few nights ago." as Kakashi was telling the Hokage this he notice that he had a darkening look around him.
" I was intrigued by this behavior and decided to fallow a few of them and see what they were up too and discovered something shocking." Kakashi really didnt want to continue talking about this but he knew he had to but that didn't help with how sick this was.
" I heard them talking about what a group of villagers did during that night and it seems during the time ANBU and you yourself were busy, they entered into Naruto-kun's apartment and proceeded...proceeded to ...beat him to death."
The Hokage was soo shocked that his pipe fell out of his mouth and was completely stunned.
" After that one of them put his body in a sack and proceeded to travel out of the village and...threw it into a river." It killed Kakashi to say those words out loud but it had to be done, though that didn't make it any better. Kakashi went to the door and before exiting he whispered something to him self but Sarutobi heared him loud and clear " I'm so sorry...sensei, I failed again."
( with Sakura )
Sakura was in a bad mood, she and Ino got into a fight about Sasuke again and she just felt lonley, then she remembered that strange boy who comforted her in the park and how she promised herself to find out his name.
( A few hours later)
Sakura was getting extremely fustrated at this point. It seemed where ever she looked she couldnt find this boy any where, she even asked a couple people if they knew him but they either just walked away or just told her no in a rather rude manner.
'Maybe he isnt real, maybe I just imagined him.'
This thought depressed her greatly and started to wonder around in self pity.Sakura was so depressed that she accidentally bumped into someone and fell straight on her ass.
"Oww..umm sorry mister I didnt see you"
" Oh thats quite alright"
Sakura looked up to see that the man she the bumped into.The man had white hair that seemed to defy gravity itself, he had a leaf head band covering his right eye and a mask covering his face except his left eye, he also had a jonin vest over his blue shirt blue ninja pants and sandals.The man bent down and extended his hand to help Sakura up, once she dusted herself off she saw the man was walking away and she started to run after him.
" Mister, mister...hey mister wait"
The man turned around to Face Sakura trying to find out what she wanted.
"umm mister I was wondering if you could help me with something?"
" umm okay i'll try."
Sakura took a deep breath and sighed ' well here goes nothing'. " Well you see im kinda looking for someone, actually a boy around my age this tall, blue eyes, blonde spiky hair, whisker marks on each cheek." As Sakura finished her discription she saw the man look extremely depressed.
" Yeah...I know that boy, I know him very well" Kakashi answered the little girl in a extremely depressed manner.
" Well could you tell me where he lives?"
" I'm sorry but that wont help you at all."
"Why?"
" Because...because that boy was murdered a few nights ago."
Sakura couldnt believe what she heard "M-m-m-murdered?"
" I am so sorry" after that being said Kakashi proceeded to walk home, leaving Sakura to her thoughts.
( Haruno residence )
Sakura was in her bedroom alone in her thoughts trying to figure out what she was feeling.She barley knew the boy but she felt so hurt that he was gone now, she was just extremely confused.As she pondered on her thoughts she suddenly realized that she sad because that boy made her feel better about herself in her time of need and she really enjoyed that, that boy that she met only once probably knew her better than herself...and now he was gone.
( Kirigakure )
A heavy fog rolled silently over a large calm lake that was the truly the most serene and placid place anyone had ever seen.Suddenly a strange figure appeared out of the mist, a very large man around 6'7 dressed in a large Navy blue coat which was opened completely showing a shirt of chain link tightly against his chest,he had dark blue ninja pants on complete with sandals.But the man himself was probably the most interesting thing anyones every seen.The man had blue skin with small black eyes with what look like gills on his face and a set of shark like teeth, the man had a mist headband around his blue hair and on his back was a large sword wrapped up in white bandage.This man was Hoshigaki Kisame former leader of the 7 Swordsman of the mist, Scourge of Kirigakure no sato.As Kisame continued walking across the lake surface he noticed something floating across the on the lake.The closer Kisame got he saw what the object was in fact the bloodied body of a 6 year old boy.
'Poor kid' as Kisame was thinking this he contiued to observed the boy.
The kid had blond spiky hair, was filthy and looked under fed and was dressed in rags.
"Well not my problem" as Kisame continued foreward only to stop after two steps.
He didnt know why he stopped but it seemed like his body wouldnt move and he also had a strange feeling in his stomach.Kisame looked over his shoulder and just scowled at the unconscious body of the boy.
"Stupid kid, why would I care if he died, I dont care." even as he said this he still was frozen in place.'kid would probably drown..looks like he's been floating for days.'after he thought this the body started to slowly descend down into the water.'Any second now' Kisame continued to watch and the further the boy sink the stronger the feeling in his gut became.Than something incredible happened, just as the boys hand disappeared beneath the lake surface ,Kisame reached down and grabbed the arm of the boy and hoisted him into the air.
"Stupid brat, you better be grateful I saved your ass" Kisame growled into the face of the boy.
With that said he hung the boy over his shoulder and continued to walk across the lake only to be swallowed into the fog...disappearing into the night.
( several hours later )
Naruto was slowly began to awake and felt a massive headache.' uuuuuuuhhh...what happened? Where am I? Whats going on?' As these thoughts were going through his mind he became aware of his surroundings and started to see where he was. ' what is this? Is this a cave?'Indeed it was, Naruto was currently laying down in a cave, he also notice a lite fire with a couple of fish cooking over it.Naruto looked around to see if anyone was around, while not seeing anyone he reached out and grabed one of the fish and started to devour it.
"So your finally awake,huh?"
Naruto nearly choked on the fished and spun around to see a giant shark-man at the mouth of the cave and started too scramble backwards trying to get away.
"Relax brat, I aint gonna hurt you...in fact if it wasnt for me you be at the bottom of a lake."
Naruto was taking in this new information while Kisame sat down and started to eat the roasted fish.
"So brat you got a name or what?"
Naruto simply looked at the shark man and stated " N-Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto"
Kisame just looked at the boy and said " Hoshigaki Kisame"
( 1 hour later )
Kisame and Naruto were still eating when Kisame had a question for Naruto.
"So why were you floating in that lake? Brat"
Naruto than proceeded to tell Kisame his life at Konoha and how the villagers would beat him constantly but also about the Hokage, ANBU, and the Ichiraku ramen stand but he couldn't remember what happened to him.
"Holy shit brat that is probably the most seriously fucked up thing I have ever heard"
"Yeah I know"
" I bet you must hate that place huh?"
" No I dont hate that place at all"
Kisame look at the kid in disbelief " Are you serious?"
"Yea I am besides if I hated Konoha I couldnt fulfill my dream"
Kisame continued to look at the boy in disbelief ' to fulfill his dream?'
"What dream is worth all that crap and so damn important that you have to fulfill?"
Naruto just looked at Kisame with a grin and stated to the shark man " To be Hokage, thats my Dream"
Kisame simply stare at the kid " HAHAHAHAHAHA...YOU HOKAGE..ppfffffttttt..HAHAHAHA"
Naruto was started to get pissed at Kisame " Hey stop laughing I am too gonna be Hokage, believe it!"
"Whatever brat" after that being said Kisame stood up and began to walk away until...
" Hey wait...Where you going?"
" I need to take a piss"
"How do I know your not just gonna leave me here?"
" I'm not ok?"
" Prove it"
Kisame simply stared at Naruto ' the hell's wrong with this kid? I saved him scrawny ass isnt that enough?'
"Ok kid what would make you trust me?"
"leave something precious of yours behind"
"like what?"
" How bout your sword?"
"Alright but you got to do the same"
As Kisame leaned his sword against the cave wall he saw the kid reach into his pocket and pulled out a small black book and gave it to him.
"Be careful with that ok and dont you dare lose it, got it?"
Kisame just stared at the 6 year old ' this kid is actually threatening me? What a joke'
"What ever brat"and after that Kisame left.
( 5 minuets later )
As Kisame was coming back he decided to see what was so important about this book.So as he opened it it turned to be a photo album with only three pictures in it.
' is this really that important to him?'
"OW"
Kisame looked to see that his sword was slightly un wraped and the boy was holding his hand.
'idiot'
"Whats up with your sword It scraped my hand"
"Idiot thats what it does now let me see your hand."
Kisame bent down and looked at his hand only to see that it was already healing itself.
' Holy shit, I've never seen anyone heal that fast, whats up with this kid?'
" Dont worry you'll live"
" Yeah I know"
Naruto simply stared at Kisame asked him a life changing question.
" umm...Kisame?"
" Yea brat"
"I was wondering ...your a ninja right?"
"Yeah I am"
" could you train me?"
Kisame just looked at him with a questioning look. Him a sensei? Sure he thought about every now and again but never really went through with it but maybe this kid could prove a good challenge. ' why the hell not'
"Sure kid but you better listen to what I tell or I wont teach you got it?"
" Hai sensei"
Hearing that actually brought a smile to the shark mans face.' well this is going to be interesting.'
(Several months later)
It had been a couple months since Kisame decided to take Naruto as his pupil and the kid was actually a pretty quick learner. He was teaching him the art of sword fighting and was pretty good already at it though one thing is for sure, the brat was annoying!
" what are we gonna do today Kisame-sensei?"
"Brat I already told you we are going into town."
"Why"
"because we need money for food thats why"
" How would going into town get us money?"
" Well actually im going into town to pick something up and hopefully the thing im getting will help with your training."
Naruto simply looked up at the shark-man with joy "Really!"
"Thats right brat"
After that being said the duo continued down the road towards a small village.Ever since Kisame started training Naruto he started to grow experientially he now stood at 4'7 wearing a black shirt with a red spiral in the front a pair of baggy black shinobi pants and black sandals,while on his back he carried a practice katanna.
( Village )
Soon they entered the small village and almost immediately Naruto had a question for his sensei.
"So Kisame-sensei what are you looking for?"
"Well Brat I need to pick up this months edition of the Bingo Book."
Naruto was confused after hearing this "What the hell is a Bingo Book?"
"Well brat The Bingo Book is full of ninjas with bounties on their heads, and those ninjas are rank from D-class to S-class and they are given these ranks based on skill"
"So...we're gonna be bounty hunters?"
"Pretty much, yeah"
Naruto looked ecstatic " Thats so cool...wait how would that help with my training?"
"Well brat sooner or later there comes a time when a ninja has to deiced to kill or be killed, so I've decided the sooner you do the better."
"WAIT...WHAT?"Naruto had a terrified look on his face " Y-You w-w-w-want m-me to kill someone?!"
"Trust me brat some of these ninjas deserve to die, Rapists,Blackmailers, or killers of women and children they deserve to be killed."
Naruto understood what Kisame was saying but that didnt make it any easier, I mean him taking someone eles life away, that was big stuff.Kisame was watching him and saw the confused look on his face.
"Listen Naruto"
This caused Naruto to immediately snap out of his thoughts ' Naruto? But he never calls me by my real name.'
"I know it seems hard to even think about killing someone but think of it like this, instead of you taking someone's life but saving countless people from suffering."
After hearing his sensei Naruto had to admit that he felt a little better but still it wasnt going to be easy.
"Alright brat were here"
Naruto looked up to see that they were in front of...
"The post office?"
"Thats right brat the post office."
"Why would the post office have the Bingo Book?"
"Well why wouldnt it?"
"...You got a point there"
(Outside the villag )
After they got the Bingo Book, Kisame decided to pick Naruto's first kill.
"Alright let see, who to pick?, who to pick?"
Kisame kept flipping through the pages of the little red book until he came to a page that particularly digusted him.'Oh this guy is so totally dead.'
"Alright this guy is so perfect that its scary."
"Who is it?"
"Mokoshi, Roko he's a missing Iwa nin, Gennin rank class-D, wanted on several accounts of rape with an reward or 2000 ryo."
After Kisame said this Naruto felt a sudden surge of rage towards this man.
"Thats disgusting, how could anyone do that to women?"
"Well dont worry brat he's gonna get whats coming to him and your gonna give it to him."
"You got that right, now lets go find that disgusting piece of filth"
Kisame was smiling after hearing this, the kid had an incredible sense of morality.' this kid is something else'
"Well we better get going,Brat."
( couple weeks later)
After searching through several towns, and asking around Kisame finally found out where Roko was, turned out that the bastard was hiding out in a mining town several miles out of the border of the Grass country.
"Well brat you ready for this?"
"Totally"
"Good"
Both Naruto and Kisame entered a small inn and almost immediately saw the man sitting down at a table with a cup of tea in front of him.Mokoshi Roko was a small man around 5'4 he was squat, fat and barley had any neck to speak of, in fact this man reminded Naruto of a toad, the man had on a travelers cloak and a small leather vest underneath, he also had black gloves on his hands and a slashed Iwa headband wrapped around where his neck would be.Kisame walked up to the man without him noticing.
"Mokoshi Roko?"
"Yeah Wadda'ya want?" he answered in a croaking voice.
As Roko looked up to see who he was talking too and started to panic.Who would of thought that a highly dangerous S-class nuke nin would be after him.Roko got up as fast as he could knocking both people and furniture out of his way to the door.
He started to run towards an abandoned mine and continued to travel down it for several hundred yards.
"Hugh...Hugh...I...I..think...I...lost him"he said to himself with a smile.
"Lost who?"
Roko nearly wet himself after hearing that voice and slowly turned around to see the shark-man with a truly evil grin that promised pain and suffering.
"Wha-what do you want with me...I'm small stuff..I'm not worth your time."
"Oh I know that you idiot, no the person here for you...is him."
Kisame stepped to the side to reveal a small boy with blue eyes that were filled with contempt for the small toad man.
"pffftt..HAHAHA..you got to be kidding me...that little midget against me...please...and to think I was actually scared for a moment." Roko lifted his hand to his face to wipe a tear from his face.
"You better not under estimate me you filthy toad."
"Well well the midgets got quite the mouth on him...I better fix that."
Roko reached into his cloak and pulled out a kunai and ran towards Naruto.He instinctively reach for his practice katanna and blocked the kunai.
'wow this guy really is a toad' Naruto was thinking this because despite the mans size he was surprisingly agile and nimble and had some difficulty blocking the blows.Roko was jumping all over the place and striking at the child hoping to get a hit on him.' Damn it, kids better than I thought, might as well try something else.' with that thought Roko had a evil smirk and quickly reached into his pockets and pulled out a small black ball and threw it to the ground covering the place with smoke.
'Shit, I cant see anything...ok just relax Naruto...close your eyes and listen.'
Naruto closed his eyes and started to listen for Roko's footsteps.He didn't have to wait long for he heard the mans foot steps and tried to determine from which direction he was coming from.
' Heh little idiot...he's scared stiff, he hasnt even moved a muscle...well might as well finish this now.'
Roko started to run foreward to Naruto and began counting down in his head.
'five'
he was getting closer.
'four'
'almost over you little shit.'
'three'
Roko was almost there and Naruto hadnt even moved.
'two'
Roko pulled back his kunai ready to strike a killing blow
'one'
At that exact moment Naruto quickly thrust open his eyes and charged his blade foreward and heard the clang of metal on metal and a sickening squelching noise quickly followed after that.
'Well I wonder if the brat survived or not?'
Kisame was watching the whole fight from the exact same spot where Roko saw him and decided not to interfere. He figured that if the Brat couldn't kill this guy on his own then he wasn't worth the time.The smoke started to quickly fade away and there stood the two ninja's.A few inches away from Naruto's left eye was a kunai blade and there in front of him was Roko.The Katanna had actually pierced through the mans headband and continued until at least two inches of the blade came out through the back of his skull.
"Well done brat, you did good...how do you feel?"
Naruto was confused he felt...happy!?But not because that he killed a man but because he knew what the man was wanted for and know he had stopped him from doing it again.
"I...I feel good knowing that nobody will be hurt by this man anymore."
Kisame felt pride in the boy 'Well I was right...this boy is indeed interesting'
"Well come on brat i'll buy you some ramen, my treat."
Naruto quickly cheered up after hearing this. Kisame never bought him ramen.ever.But once Naruto exited the mine shaft he was quickly pushed to the side by his sensei.He was about to yell at him until he saw a kunai right where his head was with a note attached to it.Kisame was quickly looking around to see who had thrown the kunai to only find nobody there.He quickly turned his attention to the note and began to read it.
"Whats it say Kisame-Sensei?"
Kisame finished reading the note and looked down to his student.
"Sorry brat but looks like i'm gonna have to give you a rain check on the Ramen"and with that Kisame started to walk south towards the River country.
(several days later)
It had been days since Naruto's first kill and the kunai incident and he still didn't know why they were heading towards the River country.
"Why are we here Sensei?"
Kisame didn't want to tell him what the note said but he gave a some what truthful answer.
"A few people want to meet me thats all."
"Why do they want to meet you sensei?"
"I dont know brat now just keep quiet we're almost there"
They continued to walk several miles until they came to a large lake with a mountain side on the other side. There they were greeted by a strange man. He was hunched over so he wasn't much bigger than Naruto, he was dressed in a black cloak with red clouds covering it, a mask covering his face so only his eyes showed and finally a sakkat with a chime hanging from the front was on his head.
"Hoshigaki Kisame I presume?" the man spoke in a deep gravelly voice that the best way to describe it was 'mean'.
"Yea thats me, so what is it you guys want from me?"
"Leader-Sama shall tell you what we want from you and what you'll get in return."
The strange man stared at Naruto with piercing eyes."What with the shrimp over there?"
"Hey who you callin shrimp, you hunchback?
"I watch my mouth if I were you brat"
"Well your not so...NNNYYYAAAGG" Naruto stuck out his tongue while pulling down his lower eye lid at the hunch back.
The man simply growled at the boy muttering curses under his breath.Once they started walking on the lake the man turned around to sneer at the boy on shore, only to find that he was walking on top of the lake.
' He can already dispense his chakra enough to walk on water and at such a young age, Impressive.'
The man continued forward and placed his hand on the mountain side and they saw a giant bolder move out of the way to reveal a secret entrance.Naruto was about to follow them in until the strange man stopped him.
"Sorry no brats allowed in." the man said with a triumphant smirk under his mask.
"What thats bull, where ever sensei goes I go , right sensei"
"Sorry brat but this time you stay out here, dont worry I'll be back soon."and with that Kisame went back inside the cave.
' Stupid hunch backed freak...oh well might as well train a bit.'
Kisame continued to follow the man until he stopped at what looked like a stone lantern.
"Leader-Sama Hoshigaki Kisame is here to see you"
Out of no where the shadowy out line of a man appered in front of them.
"Thank you Sasori-san that is all."
Kisame looked at the shadow in disbelief' Sasori? As in AkaSuna No Sasori? What is this place?'
"I see you got my message, thank you for responding"
"What is this place?"
" This is the base of operations for a little organization that me and an associate of mine have created for a single purpose, and we would like you to join us."
Kisame had a skeptical look on his face " What happens if I do join?"
Kisame could have sworn that the shadow had a smirk on his face " What ever you want, Power,Wealth, Thrill of Battle or simpley to cause as much damage and chaos as you desire."
Kisame was intrigued to say the least, in fact he almost agreed right there but the kid came into mind.' Better play it safe'
" Those are some impressive perks but I got to ask what is the purpose of this organization?"
"Unfortunately I cant tell you unless you join us"
Kisame was about to give his answer when suddenly he was interrupted by what looked like a giant talking plant.
"Excuse me leader-Sama but there is something I think you should know"
The figure turned to the plant "What is it Zetsu?"
"Apparently there is a child at the main entrance"
" Why should I care about this?"
"Well the boy has seemed to have made a numerouse amout of Mizu Bushin(water clone)"
"Again why should I care?"
"The boy appears to be around the age of six and is fighting them on top of the lake"
That got the mans attention ' So young and yet so skilled that indeed is impressive'
The figure turned to Kisame " Do you know anything about this?"
"As a matter a fact I do and its because of the brat out there is the reason why I must decline your offer."
" I understand and please keep this meeting a secret"
Kisame had already turned his back to the figure walking away to the exit, he rose his hand over his head " Can do "while not breaking his stride or turning around.
As Kisame exited the cave he witness the boy stab the last of the Mizu Bushin(water clone) through the abdomen.
"Hugh...Hugh...huh?..Kisame-Sensei you done already?"
Kisame looked at the boy and saw that he was panting heavily, drenched to the bone and that his feet had already sunk beneath the water.'He must have been training really hard for that too happen this quickly'
"Yeah brat I am"
"What they want?"
"Just wanted to ask me a few questions thats all"
"Well...alright I guess"
The two started to walk back to shore and once they did Kisame started talking
"Hey brat...catch"
Kisame then tossed Naruto a scroll, when Naruto opened the scroll he saw it was filled with different types of suiton jutsu, as Naruto looked up at his sensei in disbelief he heard him say
"Happy Birthday, Brat."
