Chapter 3: Three Friends before Training Time
Naruto was resting in the cave where this story truly began when he finally remembered the letters he 'borrowed' from the Hokage. Deciding to read the scroll with the 'read first' sign on it. Naruto is surprised to see it is from his father.
"Dear Son
If you are reading this it means that both I and your mother died in the Kyuubi's attack on Konoha and that I sealed the Kyuubi in you. You should be 15 when Sarutobi gives you this letter and you should know already who I am and who your mother is. I'm sorry I chose you but it's not like I could ask someone else for their child when I have one of my own. Now if everything went according to plan you will be seen as a hero but somehow I doubt that the villagers will see you that way and for that I am sorry. On a brighter note in case you didn't know both me and your mother were considered geniuses of our clans and as such we each have left you a scroll with information on how to use your bloodlines should they appear and a few other of our Justus that we thought you should have.
Now on a serious note, my real name was Kazama Arashi, however because I had a lot of enemies I changed my name to Namikaze Minato, because of this I want you to have my real surname from now on you shall be called Kazama Naruto. Also the seal I placed on your stomach to seal the Kyuubi will slowly give you the Kyuubi's chakra on top of that if you somehow live long enough to completely drain the Kyuubi of chakra the Kyuubi will die and you will be considered his heir. This is my last to you my son I give you the whole of Hell to control, may you rule in peace.
You mother was called Uzumaki Kushina. You probably have had her surname so if you wish to keep it fine but just remember, we love you and we will always love you no matter what you do. Even if you destroy all of Konoha we will still love you.
Goodbye Son,
NamiKaze Minato (Kazam Arashi)
Yondaime Hokage of Konoha"
"What a piece of bullshit. Can you believe this Kyuubi? The old man kept this from me. I kept on asking who my parents were and why I wasn't with them and he always told me he didn't know. He could have told me they died but no he just left me to assume that they abandoned me like the rest of the village, well, Fuck Him and his Village too." Naruto screamed
"Calm down Kit. Just remember focus your anger into determination so your anger won't overwhelm you. Now why don't we get to training first create two shadow clones to read the other two letters and then I'll teach you a special type of clone justu." Kyuubi responded
"Kage Bushin no Justu. Get to it. Now what is this justu Kyuubi I hope you weren't just trying to distract me." Naruto says while creating the clones
"The justu is called Ying Yang Bushin. Unlike most clones these can take most hits, only a killing blow while dismiss it. Here are the seals This will use the darkness around to make one clone and the light around to make another. These clones will be mentally connected on a more permanent basis than the shadow clones…"
"What do you mean mentally connected? Like that I'll constantly get their memories?"
"Precisely every night when you go to sleep they will give you a copy of their memories and you will give them your memories. This will allow them to do the job that they need to do for as long as needed. They will stay here and be seen every so often doing chakra control exercises. They will also being writing the letters to the Hokage so that you can leave this forest and go to where you have to. For instance it is about time we start searching for Haku. So we will leave as soon as you use the justu. Try it it is pretty similar to Kage Bushin no Justu so you should get it on the first try."
"Got it. Ying Yang Bushin no Justu." Naruto yelled while doing the hand seals. All of a sudden the shadows of the trees start to give shape to a dark figure that then took the feature of Naruto. At the same time the light starts to gather and become another Naruto.
"Believe it" Naruto yells
"Good work but if you say that phrase one more time I'll kill you. Any ways its time to go to Kirigakure to pick up Haku. You should have a week till he kills his father and about a month until Zabuza finds him so lets get going. After that go to Kumogakure if my senses are correct the Nibi no Nekomata should be there in a vessel so recruit them and by then Gaara should be willing to join. That should be enough for a while until I train the four of you."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(One and a half weeks later in Kirigakure)
"Ok we finally got here where would Haku be. Its not like I can ask the villagers he was already exposed as a holder of a bloodline. Maybe if I offer to take care of him they might let me that's an idea" Naruto thought
"Hey ninja-san can you help me quickly?" Naruto asks a random ninja
"What is it gaki?" The ninja answers.
"I was wondering if you could tell me where I could find a girl named Haku? I was asked to take care of her by some villagers."
"Oh you mean the bloodline bitch she can be normally found in her parents old house down that street there all the way towards the end. Do me a favor and make it painful that bitch killed my brother when all he was doing was following the orders of the MIzukage. I was thinking of paying someone to do it myself but it seems that someone else got to it first oh well. Thanks by the way for the justice you are about to give." The ninja says almost cheerfully.
"Thanks and I might take you up on that eventually. However, I need to get back to Iwa tonight for another job so maybe another time" Naruto says with a scowl on his face while thinking 'I'm so going to kill that bastard tonight oh well'
Naruto quickly follows the directions that were given to him and soon sees a girl sitting against a wall who looks like she hasn't eaten in 4 days.
"Haku" Naruto thinks out loud.
"Hello are you here to kill me? Your eyes are similar to mine, you've felt the pain of loneliness and know the mercy it takes to kill someone who is trapped in it." Haku almost pleads
"I'm not here to kill you. I'm here to make you an offer. How would you like to come with me? I would train and feed you. I'd even let you come back here and destroy those who have made you feel this way. All I ask for in return is…" Naruto says while bending so he is eye to eye with Haku.
"for me to do as you ask and follow you without question. To be your tool some may say." Haku says
"Close but not exactly all I want in return is you. Yes, I will ask you to do things for me but no I just want you to be with be so that neither of us nor some of the others I will have join us will have to feel the loneliness that we both know and fear." Naruto quietly says.
Haku answers while standing up "That's fine with me… since you already know my name what's yours?"
"Uzumaki Naruto. Now lets leave quickly before the villagers realize whats happening" Naruto says while also standing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3 days later on the border of Kumogakure)
"Naruto, we both know that I was alone because of my bloodline but why would your villagers abandon you? You seem like a good enough kind of guy." Haku asks.
"Haku lets stop for a while this might take a while. Now do you know what a Jinchuuriki is?" Naruto starts.
"A human sacrifice?"
"No, they are the human vessels for the Biju. You see it is nearly impossible for a mortal to kill a Biju they just don't have the chakra required to do it. So a method of defeating demons was made. You would seal the demons into humans and use the very soul of those humans as the prison to protect you against the demon. However, the people who were chosen as the vessels, usually without a choice in the matter, are hated because people tend to see them as the demon who they are carrying." Naruto explains
"That's horrible but what does this have to do…"
"That's right Haku. I am a Jinchuurichi but I'm not any Jinchuurichi no I am the Jinchuurichi for the Kyuubi no Yoko, King of all Demons." Naruto admits
"When the Kyuubi attacked Konoha my father the forth Hokage decided to use me as the vessel for the Kyuubi and sacrificed himself. All in order to save the very village that would make my life a living hell. But recently I decided that Konoha could screw themselves I would get friend, so I decided to fin others like me those who are alone. I knew of at least eight others who would join me but I wanted more then just Jinchuurichi because I wanted to show the world that if you torture people they will come back and bite you in the ass. Not demons, people and for that I needed people who didn't carry demons but would still be friends with those who did just to escape the hell that is loneliness." Naruto continues.
"And I will be the first so I presume we are going to get a Jinchuurichi in Kumo." Haku answers
"Thanks Haku and yes we are looking for the two-tailed cat Nibi no Nekomata. You can usually tell who the vessel is by who people stare at with hate come on lets finish the journey after this there is one other who I know of currently. After him we will train for a couple of years."
"Got it" Haku said
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(In Kumogakure Fifteen Minutes Later)
"Ok Kyuubi is sensing the Nibi over in that direction." Naruto said as soon as they got into town.
"He can sense the other demons?" Haku asked
"Yep how else would I know to come here?" Naruto answered
"How did you know to go to Kirigakure?" Haku asked
"I can't tell you yet but I'll tell you in a few years ok?" Naruto almost pleaded
"Fine but I want answers or else" Haku said in her most menacing tone
"Her" Naruto whispered to Haku
"Hello my names Naruto this is Haku what is your name Miss?" Naruto asks the female Jirchuurichi
"Me, your asking me?" the girl response
"Why wouldn't we? You looked lonely so we decided that you could use a couple of friends" Haku says
"Yugito's my name and thanks you I'd love to have friends. The villagers seem to hate me because of a curse that was placed upon me." Yugito says while crying
"You don't look cursed, if anything you look like a very pretty polite girl who knows what the true meaning of loneliness is" Naruto says
"How did you know that I was lonely?" Yugito says alarmed
"Look into our eyes. You see it too, the mark that the one who you are looking at knows what loneliness really means. That they have felt the burden of loneliness and will do anything in their power not to have to go back and be forced to carry the burden again" Naruto says
"Wow only someone who has felt what I have felt could say that like they truly knew and meant it." Yugito almost cries.
"Lets go somewhere were we won't be stared at and we can tell each other what caused the loneliness and hopefully together we can overcome it." Haku suggested
"I know the perfect place follow me" Yugito yells while running away at full speed
"I think she likes us" Naruto says while running to catch up
"Definitely" Haku says while running with Naruto
A few minutes they see that they are going into a cave of some sorts a slow down. When they reach the cave they go inside and sit down in a triangle each with their backs against the cave wall.
"I'll start. I come from Kirigakure where those with bloodlines are despised, hunted and killed. My mother hid her bloodline but a couple of weeks ago my father found out. He killed my mother and then tried to kill me with the help of the surrounding ninjas that were sent to help. Before I knew it my bloodline activated in self-defense and killed them by putting icicles through their hearts. I was sitting on the side of the road by my old house for a few days when all of a sudden Naruto here comes. He took one good look at me and knew the pain I felt. We quickly became friends and decided to leave until we were strong enough for either revenge against those that forced us into the hell that is loneliness or just until we were happy. We decided to look around to see if there were more like us and our search found you." Haku said
"I guess its my turn. Um…I guess I should tell you guys the truth. When I was still in my mother's womb the Ninja Council decided that we needed a weapon so they decided that the two-tailed cat, Nibi no Nekomata, would be sealed into me. While the council saw me as a weapon they grew to fear the power they locked inside of me. They fear me because of what they did to me. I fear it won't be too long before they decide that I'm too dangerous and try to kill me." Yugito says fearfully as if expecting Haku and Naruto to leave her then
"My story is similar to yours Yugito you see I am also a Jirchuurichi, or demon vessel. On the day of my birth my father sealed the Kyuubi no Yoko into me in order to save Konohagakure. The villagers couldn't tell the difference between the demon and its vessel so I got cast out. No parent would let their child play with the 'demon'. I decided to leave the stares and asked the Hokage for some time out of the village for training. He reluctantly agreed and I decided to travel a bit before training hopefully finding others like me who would be willing to be my friend and would like a group of friends who can help them. Either get revenge or just keep them company. So far I found you two and I have heard of one other that I want to help before getting training." Naruto told
"I hope it's not too much but can I come with you? I'm hated here, at least wherever I go with you I know I'll have at least one friend." Yugito asked
"It's fine with us. Right Naruto?" Haku said
"Yep I can even get my teacher to help you." Naruto said
"Thank you thank you thank you I promise not to be a burden. Who this teacher? Can I see him so I can thank him?" Yugito rambles
"Your Welcome it's no problem and you never could be a burden. My teacher is Kyuubi he might be able to get the Nibi to help train you. As for seeing him sure, why not? Kuchiyose no Justu: Kyuubi" Naruto says before the smoke from summoning appears.
"Hello Yugito. I am the Kyuubi and before you ask the reason I'm not a giant fox is that I transformed into this so that talking is easier. Now I'll train you but first I'd like to make a small change to the seal that is holding the Nibi so that he can teach you also." Kyuubi says after coming out of the smoke in human form
"That's fine and thank you again Kyuubi-sama." Yugito respond
"I like this one kit. Ok lie down and show me the seal. Hmmmm one four prong seal. This should make the sealing easier. Ok I'm going to prink your finger because I need to mix some of your blood into the ink to make this work. Ready ok perfect give me a bit" Kyuubi said to Yugito as she lied down and rolled up her shirt so her stomach and the seal on it was visible
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Ten Minutes Later)
"Perfect now this will hurt a bit but it should help after wards. Ready? Good. Inka" Kyuubi says
"Oww that hurt just a bit, right that was like a tree falling on your stomach." Yugito says
"Nibi I know you can hear me. Call Yugito into your mindscape and give her the demon cat summoning contract. Afterwards she can summon you and I can explain what just happened." Kyuubi said
All of a sudden Yugito falls unconscious. She wakes up five minutes later and while doing hand seals wipes blood on her left arm and screams "Kuchiyose no Justu: Nibi "
Out of the smoke that randomly appeared comes a middle age Woman who immediately says while bowing "Kyuubi-sama I didn't expect you or your heir to come here, not that I'm not glad. What brought you and why did my seal get stronger instead of weaker when you put those seals on it"
"Nibi-san after years of studying the seal I found away out. Ironically enough it's by strengthening the seal not weakening that this happens. The only way out is into the summons's world. This can not happen as long as we hold our position in this world as part of the Biju royalty and generals. The way to do this is to give our power and position to the human they sealed us in. Once that happens we go to the Summon World while still upholding the mental connections between us and our current host."
"You mean you just gave my power to Yugito. She's too young she can't handel the influex of knowledge and power." Nibi response
"Don't worry it's a gradual process about once every two years they will get a tail and element Naruto already has one tail he will get his second on his seventh birthday. There is one other we must collect Ichibi no Shukaku before we will start training them. Once we have him we shall train for three years and then send them out to collect the rest along with others that are willing to join to escape the loneliness that is their life." Kyuubi says
"So it is off to Sunagakure to collect Shukaku next. Interesting, but before they leave they should rest here it is already night. Go to sleep my kittens for tomorrow you shall start traveling." Nibi says to Naruto, Haku and Yugito.
"Ok" all three say before making a small campfire and getting ready to sleep.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(One Week Later in the Desert that is Sunagakure)
"We are almost there. According to Kyuubi the Ichibi is feared because its vessel isn't stable. Something about Shukaku not letting him sleep. So we should be able to tell where he is by the screams of fear and pain. Get ready no speaking of our purpose once we are through those gates." Naruto says while almost at the gates to Sunagakure
Once they pass the gates they hear a scream of terror "That's our cue" Naruto says while running towards the scream
Naruto suddenly stops and says while pointing to a young boy with black circles under his eyes that's crying "Him. Let me go in first Kyuubi has a justu that should help"
"Omoi Raishuu no Justu (Mind Invasion technique)" Naruto whispered while making hand seals.
Naruto soon finds himself in a sewer with Kyuubi in human form, Gaara and Shukaku. Shukaku quickly transform into an old man with graying black hair and a long beard in battle robes.
"Kyuubi-sama what are you doing in my humble abode?" Shukaku asks while bowing
"I am here to make both you and Gaara an offer. Gaara how would you like to sleep without fear? How would like to have friends who understand you because they have been forced to do similar things people like my vessel Naruto?" Kyuubi asks
"I'd love it but at what price and why should I believe you?" Gaara answers
"The price is simple take Ichibi's place as the one-tailed general in the Demon army. The reason you should believe me is you shouldn't. I'm a demon right but Naruto here brought us here because he felt you could find peace and friendship with him. And Naruto you should trust because he is like you. Almost exactly he has faced the same fear and hatred that you have faced. It was because of that, that we found you. Naruto realized he didn't have the power to get his revenge by himself just like you don't however together with him and the seven others anything is possible for you. You can destroy this village for what it did to you. Seal inside of you a demon and then hate you and tried to kill you because of it. All we ask for in return is your friendship and loyalty" Kyuubi response
"As for you Shukaku I offer a way out of this vessel and into the Summons's World. Just give Gaara your Summoning Contract and let us change the seal on him and bingo your free to do as you please for the rest of time. No more requirements as a General since Gaara will be your replacement. Just as Naruto is the Next King of Demons." Kyuubi says to Shukaku
"Fine with me. Out of this dump finally. How long will the seal take to get me out of here?"
"Two years for you. What about you Gaara do you except?" Kyuubi asks Gaara
"I'd get the full power of the demon of the Sand. I'm in."
"Perfect so lets leave here and go to some place where I can look at your seal and make the necessary changes. Kia (release)" Naruto says to Gaara before releasing the justu and leaving.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Out of Gaara's head)
"He's in" Naruto said, speaking for the first time in ten minutes.
"Great wait where is he going?" Haku response
"He's going to a place where I can fix the seal and he can sleep. He can't sleep currently or else his demon eats his soul." Naruto says
"Quickly before we lose him you two" Yugito yells
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Five Minutes Later in a Building)
Gaara lays down on a table and says "Ok lets get going please"
"Fine But hold still this might take a while"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Half an Hour later)
"Done now before I finished is it Ok if we sleep here for the night before leaving?" Naruto asks
"Its fine, now let's go." Gaara answers.
"Ok Inka." Naruto says.
"It worked Good night" Gaara said sleepily before falling asleep
"Let's summon one of our demons before we also fall asleep" Yugito suggested
"Kyuubi said he's up for it. So Kuchiyose no Justu: Kyuubi " Naruto says
"You guys sleep I'll keep watch tonight" Kyuubi says while coming out of the smoke
Naruto, Haku and Yugito quickly follow his advice before falling asleep for the night
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AN/ Normally I hate Authors note so this should be one of the only two notes in this story. I have a small problem. I don't know
Japanese nor do I know Japanese name. As such I'm asking for help. Can those who want give me suggestions for the other
Jirchuurichi's names. Just send me the name, definition and gender and I'll choose the best. I also need a name for Naruto's gang
If have not guessed they will fight Akatsuki for the other Biju as such the organization should be named. The same thing as
With the names just give me the Name and its definition. Thanks
