Hello Ladies and Germs, this is your captain speaking, we will be landing in chapter 3 momentarily. Now, I want to clear things up, Naruto will have like 5 people who care about him in the village. No, he's not in a relationship with Tenten. NOW, ON WITH THE SHOW! Like it's me, Steve Mccrawly! And my brother! WRONG SHOW!
It had been a year since Kuma had left Naruto to train. Naruto was in his second to last year at the academy, and had only made 3 more friends. One Shino Aburame, Might Gai, Tenten's sensei, and Tenten's teammate, Rock Lee. Naruto's family had gotten worse, totally forgetting about him, he got locked in his house when his parents went to meet the Kazekage for 3 days along with Narumi and Menma. "Finally, disabled the locking seal." He said as he opened his front door. "Man I'm starved." He said. His parents also got rid of most of the food in the house. "Well I can't go train on an empty stomach. Hm, where to go to eat?" He asked himself. "NARUTO!" The blonde suddenly heard. "I'm in trouble." Naruto said as he turned to look for the voice.
"YOU IDIOT!" Someone yelled as they piled drived Naruto into the ground. "S-Sorry... Gai." Naruto said as he slowly got up. "Where have you been for the past three days?!" He yelled. "My parents locked me in the house when they left with my siblings to suna." Naruto said. Gai was shocked by the unyouthfullness. "HOW UNYOUTHFULL!" He screamed. "Yeah, the bastards thought to get rid of most the food too." He said, rubbing his stomach. "Let's get you some food then." Gai said with his nice guy pose. Thank god Lee isn't here. I don't think I can handle that genjutsu. Me either man. Kurama added in.
Over the past year Naruto and Kurama grew much closer, much like brothers, or a father and son. Kurama was also very close to finishing his body. He just didn't want to tell Naruto. "That sounds really good Gai." Naruto said as they went to Gai's apartment. "So they locked you in the house huh? I am sorry Naruto, I thought them better than that." Gai said. "It's okay, I hate my family even more now, but I don't let hate control me." Naruto said in the middle of eating. "That is good. I hope one day that you find happiness. Now, lets forget these thoughts, AND GO EXPERIENCE THE SRPING TIME OF YOUTH!" Gai yelled as he grabbed Naruto and sprinted out the door. "WE MUST TRAIN TO GET RID OF THE UNUTHFULLNESS!" Gai yelled. The two trained for another three hours, just till the sun started to set.
"Man, Gai's workouts suck." Naruto said. Gai had indeed jumped at the offer to train Naruto, especially after what he had heard his family went threw. He even stopped Naruto from killing himself when the pain got to much...
"YOU IDIOT!" Gai yelled as he slammed Naruto into the ground. "You think that killing yourself will fix things!? You have no right to do so, especially after making your promise to your friend!" Gai said, sending another punch at Naruto. "I-I'm sorry,... Gai. But, why, why does it hurt so much?" He asked as he cried. Gai stopped his assault and kneeled down in front of Naruto. "Naruto, what has happened to you, is terrible, I will say that, but the few people that support you, would also die if you were to end your life. You have lived a life of pain and suffering, not many can say that has happened. But you know whats different about you? You survived and grew stronger with each day. And I believe that your true power, is when you have your precious people to protect, and I want to protect you, until you decide that you will leave this village." Gai said, comforting Naruto. "T-Thank you Gai." Naruto said.
After that, Gai had started to train Naruto in the Okinawa style of martial arts, and luckily for Naruto, Okinawa focused on weapons along with taijutsu. He got threw the style like a bird in the sky, and Naruto was near his training with his style. All he really wanted to do now, was make his own style based on his original one. "Man what a day. First I get stuck in my house for three days, then I get slammed in the ground for three hours." He said with a laugh. Suddenly he heard his front door open up.
"Ah, it's good to be home." He heard his dad say. He quickly hid in his room, and waited for his 'family' to eat dinner before coming out. They still don't remember me, after 5 years, they don't care about the oldest. He thought as he walked down the stairs. "Even on my birthday." Naruto said to himself as he opened the front door. Ever since his siblings were born, no one knew what day his birthday was, besides Iruka. Iruka only knew because Naruto's birthday was inputted into the school records. Naruto also advanced dramatically in ninjutsu, learning that his main element was water, and had a sub element in earth. Itachi did force Naruto to learn at least 3 elemental attacks from the other 3 elements though, to make sure that Naruto was prepared.
"I wonder how Kuma is doing, and when he will be back." Naruto said to himself. Just wait kit, he will be back soon. Oh, and I have something for your birthday, you just need to go to sleep. Kurama said. "Alright Kurama, thanks." Naruto said. He currently was on the roof of the Namikaze estate, so no one would look at him weirdly for talking to himself. "Welp, I have nothing better to do, might as well go to sleep, if I can." Naruto said with a chuckle. He had developed insomnia and narcolepsy, but had trained himself to fight mid-sleep incase he passed out in a fight.
"So, how are things Kakashi?" Minato asked. "Things are good, had some good missions, have a pretty good life, followed Naruto around for a little bit." Kakashi said. Even though he didn't really like the kid, he did wonder what went on with his life, since he was never around during his visits to the compound. "Why would you do that? Naruto is the most boring person I know of." Minato said. Kakashi sweat dropped. "You're not serious are you?" Kakashi asked. "No, i'm dead serious." Minato said a bit confused. "Why do you say that?" He asked. "Just do what I said last year, and talk to Iruka or Itachi." He said.
Naruto was currently meditating in his room, trying to get to his mindscape. POP. "Finally." He said as he opened his eyes to see the cave that was his mind. There where crystals placed throughout the cave that glowed slightly, giving the cave an eerie feeling to it. There was one large crystal jutting out of the center of his mind, and on top of it sat Kurama, in his new form. Hey Kit, like my new look? Kurama asked, shocking Naruto. Kurama was now roughly the size of a wolf, and was no longer pure red like the pictures of him portrayed him. He had streaks of black and white going threw his body, and he had a tail of power. "Wow, you finished a lot faster than I thought you would." Naruto said.
Weeellll, remember that week you were in the hospital? Kurama asked. "Yeah... was that you?" Naruto asked. Partially, you also had the flu, so I used that to sap your chakra, making that failure of a godmother of yours to believe it was a new type of disease that sapped the chakra paths and caused flu like symptoms. Kurama said with a foxy smile. "Wow, you really are annoying sometimes." Naruto said, causing the fox to fall off the crystal. "Anyway, what did you want to show me for my birthday?" Naruto said. Ah yes that, well I finally got in contact with some friends, and they sent me the Fox summoning scroll. I want you to sign it. Kurama said, grabbing the scroll with his tail.
"Wow Kurama, are you sure?" Naruto asked. Yes, no one has come around like you in a long time Naruto. Kurama said. "Okay, so how do we do this?" Naruto asked as he opened up the scroll. Sign it with your blood. Then do the seals that are shown on the bottom. Kurama said, pointing to the scroll. "So how will I get the scroll out of my mind?" Naruto asked as he signed it. Once you are done, you will be able to summon the scroll when ever you want. Kurama said. "Okay, done. Now lets look at the hand signs." Naruto said. Wait, don't do it here, do it outside, and put only a little chakra in so that you get a young fox, not a giant. Kurama said. Naruto shook his head before he started to fade.
"Okay lets see if I remember, Bear, Ox, toad, rabbit, dragon!" Naruto yelled as he slammed his hand into the floor of his room. "... It didn't work Kurama." Naruto said. Of course not, you didn't add your blood. Kurama said. Naruto face palmed. "Alright, then lets try again." He said before biting his thumb and going threw the seals again. "Summoning Jutsu!" He yelled as he summoned a small silver fox. "Haaaaah. Ah man, where am I?" The fox said with a yawn. "I summoned you, Kurama gave me the fox contract." Naruto said. "Cool, I will tell the elders. Oh and if you want to summon us, we tend to ask for stuff in return." He said before curling back up. "Bye." He said before exploding into smoke.
"Okay then, that was interesting." Naruto said. Ya, the fox's are a bit, quirky. Kurama said. "So what should I offer them in return for their help?" Naruto asked. Well, if you play pranks, or give them ideas, then you should be fine. Kurama said, causing Naruto to smirk. Even though he never went threw with them, Naruto had come up with many a pranks in his isolation. "I can do that." Naruto said. "Welp, I might as well practice, since I'm probably not going to sleep anytime soon." He said before leaving threw his window.
The next day, Naruto was eating lunch with his friend Shino. "So, find any cool bugs recently?" He asked. "Nope." Shino said. RING RING RING RING! "Welp, theres the bell, might as well go and get a good nap out of class today." Naruto said, standing up. "Let's go." Shino said. After 2 hours of class, Naruto trained with Gai, Lee, and Tenten for a few hours. Bye the time he was done, the sun was setting, and Naruto was on his way home, when something came flying at him. Luckily for Naruto, he had enhanced senses from his training with Gai. "What the hell was that?" He asked to himself. What he didn't see, was a paw shaped crater. "Oh well, I-" THUNK! "Ow, damn it!, where the hell did this crater come from?" He asked to himself. He looked down, and saw that it was in the shape of a paw. "Kuma." He said before scrambling to stand up.
Naruto looked around and saw a piece of paper stuck to his foot from when he tripped. "Let's see what Kuma sent." Naruto said as he pulled up the paper. "Hm... I got to go!" He said before running to his house. After slamming his door and running up to his room he grabbed all his supplies and packed them in a backpack before sealing them in a scroll. "Let's see, shuriken, books on making Shinobi weapons, kit for making Shinobi weapons, emergency supplies, Clothes, some money, well, probably won't need that, storage scrolls, and scroll containing all my notes." he said, listing off all his supplies. "Alright ready to go." He said before pocketing the scrolls and leaving his room.
What he didn't know was that he dropped Kuma's message.
"Man, I hate paperwork." Minato said as he finished looking over a new law that the civilians wanted to pass. "Finally, time to go home." He said as he exited his office. He felt like walking today, so he made his way home by foot. As he turned the corner, he got ran over by another yellow haired person. "Naruto!?" He yelled, causing his son to stop mid track. "What?" He asked. "What are you doing here, it's time for dinner." Minato said. "What I am doing is none of your business." He said coldly before he started to walk off. "Hey, you can't talk to me that way!" Minato said to his son. "Watch me." Naruto said as he continued walking. Minato threw one of his special kunai next to Naruto, and appeared next to his son. "You are grounded, and where ever you were going, is now home. And you will go home now, or I will hiraishin you home." Minato said. Naruto didn't move. "Alright, we are going home now." He said firmly as he grabbed Naruto and activated his seal.
Kushina just set the table when Minato and Naruto Hiraishined into the living room. "Oh, Minato, Naruto, what's going on?" Kushina asked. "I was coming home, and Naruto ran into me, didn't apologies, then became rude and blunt when I asked him where he was going, I then told him to come home, only for him not to move, so I hiraishined us here." Minato said. "Naruto, go to your room, you are not getting dinner." Minato said. "I think that is a fair punishment, and your grounded for the weekend." Kushina said, a bit angry at her son.
If Naruto was upset, he didn't let them show it as he made his way up to his room. "Haha, the idiot got punished." He heard from his sister Narumi. "Don't care." He said as he closed his door and locked it with a seal. "This will set us back for about a half hour, but I think we can make it." Naruto said as he opened his window. "Good bye cruel family, I hope Lighting and Rock spill your guts." He said as he hopped out the window.
Naruto started to run as he had little time to make it to make it to his destination. "Kurama, would it be bad if I summoned a fox to give me a lift?" he asked. Yes. Only summon them for council, training and fighting, Fox's are insulted by becoming rides. Kurama said. "Then I guess I better hurry." Naruto said, as he set out with a renewed vigor.
After dinner, Minato and Kushina were doing the dishes. "I think I will go talk to Naruto about his behavior today." Minato said as he finished drying a pot. "Well, don't be to hard on him, we did punish him a lot." Kushina said. Minato nodded before walking to his son's room. "Naruto, can I come in?" He asked before knocking on the door. He got no answer. "Naruto?" He asked again. He still go no reply. "Hm, weird, maybe he's asleep." He said before trying to open the door. "It's locked, weird." He said before pulling out his key. "He better have a good reason for this." He said as he tried to put the key in the door, only for the key to hit a barrier. "What the?!" He said somewhat loudly. "Is something wrong dear?" He heard Kushina ask.
"Kushina, come up here, Now!" He said. Kushina rushed up the stairs to see her husband studying the doorknob of their son's room. "What's the matter?" She asked. "Naruto's door is locked with a seal." He said, as he tried to break the seal. "A seal?" Kushina asked. "Yeah, I don't know what's going on." Minato said. "Naruto!? Are you in there!? Make a noise!" Kushina yelled. She got no answer. "Get this door open now!" She yelled. Luckily, Menma and Narumi were at their friends for sleepovers. "I got an idea." Minato said.
BOOM! Minato broke the door with a rasengan. "Naruto where are you!" He yelled. As he stepped into his sons room, Minato took notice of everything he could to see if there were any clues to his sons room being locked. What shocked him, was how barren his sons room was. "Kushina, take a look at this." Minato said. Kushina stepped into their sons room and was shocked by what she saw. "It's so, so barren." She said. All there was in his room was a bed, a night stand with a lamp, white walls, an open window, and a book shelf with only a few books on it.
"When was the last time you went into Naruto's room?" Kushina asked. "It was... it was... I can't remember!" He said, shocked that he couldn't remember going into his son's room at any point in time. "Me either!" Kushina yelled. They scoured the room looking for any evidence to what happened to their son. "Have you found anything?" Kushina asked. "No I haven't, what if there's- what's that?" Minato suddenly said as he pointed at a piece of paper sticking out from under the door. Kushina hurried over to the paper and picked it up.
After quickly reading it, Kushina ran to their room. Minato picked it up and read it.
Naruto, I am only in the elemental nations till midnight, hurry if you still want to go. I am at the coast of The Land of Fire, across from me is the ocean, then an island known as the land of waves.
-Kuma
Who is this Kuma, and how does he know Naruto? Minato thought as he ran to his room to grab his Shinobi clothes. "We need to call in the anbu tracking corps." Kushina said. "On it." He said as he reached under his nightstand and pushed a button. The button was a distress call that went straight to the Anbu headquarters. Within 5 minutes, the Namikaze compound was swarming with Anbu. "What happened Minato-sensei?" Kakashi asked. "Naruto has run away to go meet with someone named Kuma. We need to catch him before he leaves our borders. This man is still in The land of Fire, but is across from The land of Waves. We must hurry. We are also joining the search, and call for Itachi to join us." Minato said before he and Kushina left their home.
After grabbing Itachi, the anbu set out to find the missing blonde. Naruto, I hope you know what you are doing. Itachi thought as he searched from the sky on a large crow. "Land of Waves, then maybe they are trying to get to Kiri." He said to himself. Back with Kakashi and the Namikazes... "Pakkun, smell these." Kakashi said, handing the pug the note, and a piece of Naruto's clothing. "Hm, this note smells of metal and leather, with a bit of blood, I think I can track it when we get close enough, and Naruto smells of sweat, fox, and metal." Pakkun said before jumping into the trees, getting a lead on Naruto. "He went this way." Pakkun said.
"Hold on Naruto, if this man has you under genjutsu, then we will save you." Kushina said. "Right." Minato said. Back with Naruto. "Alright, so, it seems we are almost to the border." Naruto said to himself. "Better keep moving, don't want-" "Don't want what Naruto?" Said a voice behind him. Naruto whirled around ot see his brother figure Itachi standing there. "Don't want this exact thing to happen." Naruto said. "Naruto, come with me, you are going to a stanger, that more than likely has you under a genjutsu of him being a friend." Itachi said. "No, this is the path that I shall take, I don't ever want to go back." Naruto said. Itachi sighed. "I feared something like this might happen." Itachi said, putting a hand into his pocket. "Your family forced you into doing this didn't they?" He asked.
"I stopped thinking of them as family long ago, and you can't stop me." Naruto said. "I don't plan on it." Itachi said as he chucked something at Naruto. "Don't say I never gave you anything, you little pain." Itachi said with a smile as he hopped back into the trees. Naruto grabbed what appeared to be a scroll. "Thank you, my brother." Naruto said, pocketing the scroll and took off running. In the trees, Itachi had a single tear going down his face. He quickly took out a kunai, stabbed his leg, and waited for ten minutes, before touching the hiraishin seal on his arm, alerting the Namikazes.
"Kushina, Itachi turned on his seal, grab on." Minato said, before Hiraishining both of them to Itachi. "Itachi what happened!?" Kushina asked. "Naruto, got me in the leg, he went that way." Itachi said, pointing in the direction of the border. The Namikazes looked at each other, and started to sprint in Naruto's direction, leaving Itachi alone. "I said I wouldn't go after you Naruto, I never said anything about helping them." Itachi said with a small smirk before healing his leg, and limping home. "Good luck, my brother."
"Kuma! Where are you!?" Naruto yelled. He got no answer. "Kuma!" He yelled again. "Naruto! There you are!" Came another voice from behind him. "Great, just what I want to deal with." Naruto said. There stood Kushina and Minato. "Come on Naruto, the man you were in contact could be anywhere, we must hurry if we are to get you safe." Minato said. "Like I care what you say." Naruto said. "I get it now, you are having a rebellious faze aren't you." Minato said. "That must be why you were so rude. Well it doesn't matter, we can just hiraishin him home." Minato said, before jumping towards Naruto. Naruto just smirked. "I've been wanting to do this for a long time." Naruto said, before slamming his fist into his dad's stomach. "Do you feel it, the pain?" Naruto whispered into his dad's ear. "NARUTO!" Kushina yelled.
"Aw, go suck on a salt lick." Naruto said as he walked away from his dad. "Do you really think it was that easy to defeat me?" He heard a voice from behind him say. Naruto turned around to see his dad standing, and having no look of pain on his face. "Clone jutsu, congratulations, your so achieved." Naruto said sarcastically. "Naruto, why are you acting like this!? We are your parents!" Kushina yelled. "Because you caused him pain that no one should undergo." Came a voice from behind the two of them. "Hello Kuma."
"You! You are the one that corrupted my son!" Kushina said before unleashing her chakra chains on the large man. "You seem to think this was my fault, you have yet to look for the real monsters." Kuma said, appearing next to Naruto. "What do you mean! Naruto, what is this man talking about!?" Minato demanded. "I'd rather not tell you, but I do just so I can spite you. You abandoned me for Menma and Narumi, who you spoiled rotten. I grew up at an alarming rate, and had so much pain and anger that you caused." Naruto said as he dodged an attack from Kushina. "Naruto, you must be under a genjutsu, you aren't thinking straight." Kushina said. "Nope, I'm not, you and Minato are just terrible parents, and so, I met Kuma here, who agreed to show me the world outside the elemental nations." Naruto said. "This has gone on long enough, you are coming with us, whether you like it or not!" Minato yelled as he charged a rasengan. "I don't think so." Kuma said as he appeared behind Minato and Kushina. "Goodbye." Kuma said as he hit them with his paws.
"Did you just, erase them?" Naruto asked. "No, I sent them home. Now, do you have everything?" Kuma asked. "Yep, it's good to see you again Kuma." Naruto said. "You too Naruto, now before we go, I have something I have to tell you." Kuma said. "I can't come with you. I will soon be turned all the way into what is now known as a pacifista. I can send you, but I won't come with you, and if you see me again, I may have no memory of you." Kuma said. Naruto looked shocked. "So everything that has happened between us, it will be erased from your mind?" Naruto said. "Yes, and so, I have a few things to give you before you go." He said. He took off his hat and put it on Naruto. "When I die, place this on what ever memorial you want. I also want you to have my book." Kuma said, handing him a book that said bible. "Thank you Kuma, I won't ever forget you." Naruto said. "Alright, I want you to find a crew that makes you apart of their family, and defend them to your last breath, do you understand?" Kuma asked. "Yep." Naruto said. "Then I wish you a great journey," Kuma said before hitting Naruto with his paw, "my friend."
Alright long ass chapter, here we go! and so, the next chapter will be Naruto ends up in, who knows where, if you want to know then wait. AND DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW! I bid you all adieu!
