Naruto: The Crystal Village. Arc one: The gathering Prologue 3: Past
AN: This chapter is a bunch of flashbacks, some with great meaning to the future plot. IT IS BORING! (At least I think so.)
Disclaimer: I was sure I've placed somewhere around here, the papers stating that I do not own Naruto.
I see many of you are adding the fic to the alerts, It brings me joy and makes me want to continue, but still it would be better if you reviewed too, those that did were listened to, and they helped me correct mistakes or interpretation flaws.
Naruto starred at the image over the sphere, it was the image of the hot springs of Konohagakure no Sato, but there were no hot springs around. Still woman were bathing on it and whoever was recording was peeping on them. (Guess who?)
(Remember Italics are Flashback!)Jiraya giggled at the sight of the women, including his dear partner and her friends, as they relaxed after a hard mission.
'Perhaps I should start writing a Novel, I will call it Icha Icha Paradise (Come Come Paradise) and it will tell stories of Handsome man and their loved ones, It is better than wasting my life in missions at least.' The man thought taking a notebook and starting the scratch of something that would change Konoha, no the world, Forever... Unfortunately his moment was short lived
"JIRAYA!" Shouted a very annoyed Tsunade who somehow managed to locate him. "HENTAI!" The other women instantly shouted all going over the "as good as dead" Gama Oyabin. Now the recently promoted Senin might be tactless, but he wasn't stupid (not much) so he quickly ran away.
Naruto watched the long run of the Senin around the forests; he finally managed to lose the women after doing a mad jump over the Abyss Naruto used to escape. Unfortunately for him the Abyss was just too big and he lost footing, going into a free fall right to the bottom.
"SHIT!" Both he and Tsunade shouted. The man quickly started to do some jutsu and poured chakra. Below him a mid size toad appeared, Jiraya held the creature to dear life while the frog met the bottom of the valley, instantly before being un-summoned by the impact.
"That was annoying, not to mention now I will have to summon the annoying boss to take me, I just hope Gama didn't tell him of what happened."
The man stopped ranting when he heard the small sound of crying. "What is the Hokage's Name???" He followed the sound to a crib made of vines, there, inside that crib, rolled in a blue mantle much like the One Naruto now carried on his pocket was a blond and young baby with azure eyes, crying. "Dear lord, Sensei needs to know about this... Besides this might just spare me a lecture from Gamabunta and Tsunade...
The image then jumped to several hours latter, to the office of the Hokage tower and a much younger Sandaime Hokage. Who now had the boy on his arms, besides him Tsunade, Jiraya, and Orochimaru were all starring at the boy with mild interest.
"You said you found the baby on the bottom of the abyss?" Sandaime questioned the white haired ninja. The man nodded.
"Well, I asked the Yamanakas and they don't recall a baby like that on their clan, and there is no one else in the village besides Tsunade and Nawaki with such genes..." The man spoke "I believe this little child is an orphan, or somebody his family tried to kill..."
Sandaime walked left and right, as third hokage it was his job to protect all civilians regardless of age and status, but something told him against putting the boy in the orphanage "Jiraya, you will raise this child as your own."
"WHAT!?!" Shouted him, Tsunade and Orochimaru at the same time" "Sensei, Jiraya can barely take care of himself, much less a baby. Plus he's an open pervert; I don't think it's wise to have children under his influence." Tsunade stated
"Good that you think like that, you'll be helping him." Another shout echoed Konoha "Not forever Tsunade, Just till the boy can stand on his feet."
"Sarutobi Sensei, wouldn't it be wiser to trust the boy to the cares of the Orphanage? Jiraya and Tsunade are ninjas and elite ones. They will be much needed in the upcoming wars and I don't think they should waste their time raising a child."
"Actually, Teme, I don't mind raising this child." 'He will be useful on my "Research" fu fu fu...'
Naruto and Kyubi both laughter, who would have ever thought the Great Yondaime Hokage was once used as a safety weapon for Jiraya's so called "Research"?
"The fact is, I'm not giving any of you option, and you three raise the kid as you seem fit, as long as you raise him."
"Now even I got messed up with this, much thanks Dobe..." Orochimaru said smacking the white hair partner.
"We haven't decided on a name yet" Said Tsunade "How do you think we should call him?"
"Jiraya can decide, as long as his name isn't M rated" Orochimaru grunted
"I'll name him Arashi (Storm), in respect towards Konoha's emblem, the Uzumaki" (Cyclone)
"It's not a bad name, coming from somebody so uncreative as Jiraya" Tsunade commented
"Arashi it is then... Arashi Jiraya Kazama" Sandaime concluded
"Man, what a lame name" Orochimaru stated, receiving nods from TsunadeSo that's where my surname, Uzumaki, Came from' Thought Naruto (Uzumaki is Maelstrom, while Arashi is Storm)
There were several quick flashes or snapshots, The first time Arashi crawled, His First Words ("Ero-Senin"), His first walk, the first Kunai he got from Christmas, his first bad deed (Naruto inherited his troublemaking genius from his father, that was sure.), The first day of the Academy, and the Graduation under Shikaku Nara (who by the time was chunin). Many tales that were probably forgotten in history.
"Kazama Arashi..." The ANBU Starred at the men ahead of him... "You are on squad D, your mission is to protect outpost seventeen."
"Sure, Hatake Sama." The teenage boy spoke doing some hand seals "What are you doing boy?" Asked the Jonin
"It's a new jutsu I've been working on." The boy spoke still focused on the seals... Hatake looked interested and gasped when the recently promoted Chunin disappeared in a smoke burst "This boy will have a great future; It should have been expected from the adoptive son of a Senin."
Once again pictures started to flash with battles and comrades dying, sometimes the image would display Kazama working on the small notebooks and scrolls now in the boy's possession. The "movie" resumed on a large battlefield.
"This is troublesome" Said Shikaku Nara "We are outnumbered and the shortage of supplies is taking the tool on us. We might have to surrender."
"If we fall here Iwa will take outpost seventeen and then Konoha will be without trading routes, we must not fail" Chouza spoke.
The younger Jonin, Inoichi sighted "It seems we have to go all out on them, take no prisoners and hope that new troops will arrive soon."
"It's too bad that Tsunade left us, if she was here we would have people enough to take this attack" Added Jiraya.
Their dialogue was interrupted by a large blast coming from one of the smaller tents, the four Jonins shook their heads in denial "This boy will be my downfall" Jiraya stated going to check on Arashi. He didn't need to move because, seconds latter, a Kunai came from the House nearly missing Jiraya and Chouza, it landed a few yards away, the next thing they saw was a big thunder inside Arashi's house and another, a millisecond latter, on the spot the Knife fell. Once that flash disappeared they saw the triumphant looking Arashi with a scroll on his hand "I DID IT!"
The four Generals all starred trying to understand what just happened. Shikamaru spoke "Please elaborate, Kazama Kun."
"I've created a special Hijutsu that will allow us to defeat the Rock!" The boy said with dreamy eyes "All we have to do is throw some of these kunai and hope that our enemies will get them." Arashi spoke
"Are you dumb, supplying the enemy with weapons?" Asked Inoichi "Do you want to get all of us killed."
"Trust me, I've been working on this jutsu for decades, well, a decade since I'm just seventeen. If they get the swords I can deal with them."
Jiraya, Chouza, Inoichi and Shikaku all starred at each other "We shall do as you ask, but if we get killed because of your overconfidence I will personally come to Haunt your soul" The Blond Jonin stated.Once again more flashes came from the sphere, The Yondaime of Course knew Naruto would not be interested in the details of his battle, all he had to know was that the Hiraishin no jutsu not only worked, but it was decisive in the defeat of Iwa. Thus...
"Kazama Arashi of Konoha, From now on you shall be Known as the "Yellow Flash" Sandaime spoke between thousands of cheers.
