Chapter Six – A... surprising development
To the academy students, Uzumaki Minori was the quiet twin brother of one annoying prankster named Naruto. To Umino Iruka, Uzumaki Minori was the quiet little boy who preferred to keep people at a distance and did not trust anyone. To the Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uzumaki Minori was the quiet little boy of his successor and predecessor and the little boy who had suffered so much at his small age that he could not bring himself to trust anyone.
He could still remember the day his ANBU had reported finding the child being attacked by some villagers. He had never been angrier than he had been then. He had given them a good warning and unfortunately that was the only thing he could do; the civilian council had his hands trapped. After the Kyuubi attack the village had needed the civilians' support even more for economic reasons. Including a civilian section to the council had been a strategic move more than anything. If he could have helped it he would never have included them in the council. It would seem like they were getting used to their newfound power too quickly. What with the disaster with the Kumo ambassador and the Hyuuga, the village needed everyone to help to prosper. He had been forced to let those disgusting people back in society.
He had made sure though to make his ANBU trail Minori for a while and when no attack had befallen him again, he had had to remove them; the village needed all its ninjas after all.
Hiruzen knew of the rumours going around about the twins. Because of Minori's red hair and inherent slightly ethereal beauty, the villagers thought that the poor boy was the reincarnation of the demon fox. It did not help that the child developed quicker than any child ever seen, even quicker than the born geniuses! That child was truly gifted - a true genius - but the villagers could not see this. They only saw what they wanted to see.
They thought Naruto was the reason why the demon fox was not back into full power; that Naruto had in him the fox's chakra, thus stopping him from getting his power back. It was sad to see how misunderstood Minori was. The poor boy was just an innocent soul who had been wronged so much it had left its mark. They did not see just how truly gifted in mind and body he was.
'It was to be expected,' the old man thought as he looked into his crystal ball, seeing a beautiful red-haired boy practicing with a set of kunai and shuriken. 'He is after all Minato's and Kushina's son.' He then chuckled as the crystal showed him another image, that one of a little blond boy trying to sneak away from his detention and getting caught by his academy teacher. 'Those two could not be even more different than they already are.'
I scowled down at the eighth cut I did to myself that week… and it was only Tuesday. My nails had harden so much that it was nearly impossible not to get hurt, not to mention my hair! It was great that I was able to turn parts of my body into weapons; only there was a catch. I only had to accidentally brush my nails against a part of my flesh and I would get hurt. My hair, on the other hand, I could not even use it! It was too thin and sharp to handle without getting cut!
I needed gloves. Except I could not just waltz up to a store and expect that they would treat me like any customer. No. No chance in hell. I would sooner be kicked out or if allowed to purchase something, I was sure it could be what could not be sold and the owner needed to get rid of, mostly what was of cheap quality. And it would not help much.
With a sigh, I gathered my kunai from where they had fallen when I had cut myself and made my way to the academy. In the afternoon I would see if I could go see the old Hokage. Being on good terms with the old man was quite advantageous and so long as I could exploit him then I had nothing to complain about.
I was just entering the academy grounds when someone pushed me from behind. I fell and my hand that had stopped bleeding a little while before skidded across the dirty rocky ground. I visible winced as I felt my wounds reopening and new ones joining them.
"Watch where you're going, freak!" a sneering high-pitched voice sounded behind me. Schooling my face into a blank mask, I turned around and found none other than my brother's so-called crush staring disdainfully down at me. Flipping her pink hair behind her, she added with a condescending sniff, "Look what you did! My new dress got dirty with your filth! Not only are you freaky but you're also clumsy." With an indignant huff, she turned on her heels and stalked up to the academy doors.
Staring at her retreating back, I could not help the glare full of pure loathing from being directed at her before I managed to get my face back to its neutral expression. I stood up, feeling slightly sore from my morning training and looked down at my hands. Blood was running down my palms and the cuts seemed full of dirt and some small rocks. My hands trembled. Urgh! How was I going to get those out?!
With a sigh, I made my way to the back of the academy where a few taps were located. I turn on one of those and hesitantly put my hands under the rushing water, gritting my teeth against the slight throbbing pain.
Removing them from the water, I stared. There were scratches all over my hands, small rocks imbedded in the wounds… and they were already starting to heal! With a curse I did the first thing that came to my mind; I furiously scratched them with my sharp nails until my hands became a mess. I was panicking so much at having rocks in my flesh that I almost did not feel the pain.
I shook my hands and put them back under the running water. With a sigh, I resigned myself to be late for class. I still had a while until class started but it seemed almost unlikely that I would actually make it. Maybe I should just skip for the day. Naruto did it often anyway.
I removed my hands again from under the water and looked down at them. There were more cuts than before and they looked as if they had gone through a shredder. Gruesome. Blood was still running down them but at least there was no rocks trapped in there anymore.
As I was getting a roll of bandages from my thigh pouch – one of the few that the old Hokage had given to my brother and I – I suddenly felt a wave of dizziness as my vision blurred and tunneled. I wavered. As soon as it came, it disappeared. Confused, as I had never gotten sick in this new life, I shook my head and quickly wrapped my hands sloppily in bandages. I made my way to my classroom, dismissing what had happened as inconsequential.
That night, after I went to sleep and found myself wondering a strange place with a red sky and the dirty ground littered with weapons of all kinds - both ninja weapons and guns and bullets - practically screaming battlefield with the giant blasting holes, a small part of me snidely stated that I really should not have dismissed it so quickly. Especially when a very familiar someone appeared in my line of vision.
"I am so sorry, my love –"
…
"Promise me you will get stronger!"
…
" – I just did not want to lose you –"
…
"Wait for me. It may be years but we will find each other again!"
…..
" –Do not trust anyone… - Manipulate them if it means you will get stronger…"
…
"This world is not our last one but we can still be together! –"
…
"Get strong so that you survive and you can assist me and we will be free!"
…
Thank you for reading and do leave behind a review.
You will find that in these first few chapters there are not too many dialogue and detail, that's mostly because I want to get those early years done quickly without boring anyone. There will be more interactions from the next chapters, so do not worry. There will be NO NarutoXOC, SasukeXOC, KakashiXOC or ItachiXOC. The paring is already decided and will be none of what we usually see. I try to aim for some kind of originality. Though I am unsure if I am actually doing a good job...
I had thought of OrochimaruXOC at first, but then I thought that some people might feel... disturbed. I quite like Orochimaru actually, kind of reminds me of Voldemort in a more obsessed-with-little-boys kind of way. (Though Voldemort was obsessed with Harry since he was a baby so...) Anyway, the pairing is with someone else and won't change no matter what. Everything is already planned out.
Anyway, tell me your thoughts!
