"Redemption just means that you just make a change in your life and you try to do the right thing. Versus what you were doing... Which was wrong" Ice-T
Broken bones were... Not fun things to have, especially when you were attempting to answer questions. While Naruto could use his left hand to write and such, doing so was not as neat as his right. However as long as the teachers could read it, that was enough for him. Finishing up the sheet, Naruto breezed through the ninjutsu section although he didn't use the exact technique, turns out the Uchiha had a lot of jutsu stored away, Naruto, upon seeing his problem with the Bunshin, had asked Mikoto if there were any alternatives, so she showed him a most wonderful Jutsu the kage bunshin no jutsu. And the story behind how they got that was interesting also. Apparently when giving a demonstration of the jutsu two or three Uchiha copied the technique only to die from the chakra it required. The entire incident had nearly caused Konoha fall apart before it even begun. Amazing what a simple thing as a clone jutsu could do when politics become involved.
Grabbing his headband Naruto walked out of the school, while technically the school day still had a bit of more time to it, students were free to leave as soon as they wanted. So walking out of school Naruto had planned on celebrating with some ramen however one cry stopped him from doing so
"UZUMAKI!" Raising an eyebrow at the voice he turned around
"Sasuki?" He asked slightly confused as to why she was calling him by his last name, however Sasuki marched up to him, and grabbed him by the collar shocking him.
"Oi What the hell!" Naruto called out however Sasuki ignored him
"Why didn't you ever show that kind of power when we sparred! How come you never fought me as hard as you fought Kiba" Closing her hands tightly around his collar she growled softly at him, "how come you never smile like you were with Kiba, with me?" The final one came out as a whisper filled with insecurities and fear to the point that It made Naruto pause.
"Oh is that all? It's really simple really, quite honestly the most simple thing in the world, stupidly simple, hell I think you'll make fun of me for having such a simple reason"
"...Well?"
"I can't" At this Sasuki eased up on her grip, not letting go, but easing up a bit. Naruto took that as his queue to elaborate, "I can't just use the power, it has to well um happen." Slapping her hands off of him, he fixed up his collar before continuing. "Plus using that power puts to much strain on my body for me to be able to use it much. So even if I wanted to use it, which I really don't, I would come out of it broken and bruised. And that would just slow me down."
"So you're just not ever going to train that power?"
"What! Of course I am! Just not now, maybe when I get older, then my body can handle the strain cause right now. I can use that for about five minutes before my body becomes too hurt to continue." He said causing Sasuki to nod before she took in a calming breath.
"I'm sorry for snapping on you like that, I should have guessed there was a good reason for that, I'm sorry Naruto" Sasuki said however Naruto merely smiled before rubbing her head gently.
"Don't worry Sasuki, there's nothing to forgive, after all I'd be pretty pissed if you held back on me for reasons I didn't now" Naruto admitted not noticing the blush that came across of Sasuki's face as she simply allowed herself to enjoy this. Soon, too soon if you asked Sasuki, Naruto lifted his hands and started to walk off, before he got too far, Sasuki was next to him walking with her hands behind her back.
"Where we going?" She asked getting Naruto to smile
"The best place on earth"
==========================================
Naruto sat on the barstool happily slurping down his ramen, the first time Sasuki had gone with him to eat, she had been surprised at how much he could put down, that surprise quickly turned to horror once he passed the ten bowl mark. Nowadays Naruto could put down about seventeen bowls, twenty if he pushed it. Part of Sasuki was impressed at how much he ate, a larger part of her didn't even know how to respond.
Naruto however was in his own little world, he didn't look up from his bowl, only to order a new one, while some may have seen this as a bit rude, both Sasuki and Ayame, knew that, it's just the way he is.
"So Sasuki-san" Ayame started causing Sasuki to look at her "How long have you and Naruto-kun known each other?"
"Kun?" Was Sasuki's first thought, in truth this was the first time she had been to this ramen joint, Naruto knew of quite a few ones, and while he always said this one was his favorite he never brought Sasuki with him when he went here for some reason.
"I've known him since we we're six years old" Sasuki said with a tone in her voice, Ayame noticed the tone and wanted to giggle, Sasuki was suspicious of her and Naruto's relationship. Turning around Ayame started chopping more dishes however that was merely a cover, as a sinister grin spread across her face. Finishing up the vegetables, Ayame turned back around with an innocent smile on her face, "I've known Naruto since he was three"
That sentence caused Sasuki to freeze, her smug smile dropping open. Dropping her chopsticks into the bowl, she pointed at Naruto shakily "Since he was three?" At that she got a nod, and she grit her teeth, standing up she began to walk off,
"I gotta go tell my mom how it went Naruto." She said which caused Naruto to nod his head and try to say bye only for the food to get in his way.
"Don't speak with your mouth full Naruto-kun" a gulp
"alright Ayame-neesan." Turning to Sasuki "Tell Mikoto that I'll be back in a bit, I got things I need to do" Sasuki gave him a thumbs up as she walked to show that he heard. Turning to his Ramen Naruto let a smile crossover his face as he went back to it.
=======================
Now not many people know this, but life is a series of train wrecks, with only brief commercial-like breaks of happiness.
=======================
Naruto had walked up the stairs leading to Anko's apartment, knocking rapidly on the door, he bounced on his heels as waited for the lady to open the door. Anko opened it wearing her normal outfit, however her eyes showed that she was a bit tired.
"Oh Naruto? What's up?" Instead of answering Naruto merely pointed to the headband on his head and Anko stared at it for a second, not understanding the point. However soon she began to put two and two together, and a million dollar grin came across her face. Turning back to her apartment she barked out
"OI NAI-CHAN! GUESS WHAT!" Anko called out and a groan resonated from inside and out walked Kurenai Yuhi, rubbing her temples with her hands
"please not so loud Anko." Her friend pleaded getting a grunt from the woman, Kurenai realized what was wrong and sighed loudly "I don't know what is it Anko?" She asked and Anko smiled
"Little Naruto a genin now." She said proudly causing Kurenai to gain a smile on her face as Anko ushered Naruto inside so that he could tell them how it was.
=======================
Ever since Naruto unlocked his eyes, things were better. This had been the ultimate commercial break Sure there had been some bad in his life, however there was much more good...
=======================
Naruto was standing in the living room telling them about graduation and about how he was the Rookie of the year. Kurenai gave him a hug and promised along with Anko to take him out for some supplies.
It was funny Naruto had met Kurenai through Anko, and at first Kurenai was a little bit cold to Naruto, however soon enough she had warmed up to Naruto, taking on a aunt like role, the sister being taken by Ayame, and Mikoto took the mother role and hell if she was taking the grandmother role. She had actually managed to help Naruto with his chakra control. And also gave him quite a few tips on projecting a persona. Hey she was renowned for her genjutsu but one of her lesser known skills was to be able to completely become a new person at any moment if she so chose.
Naruto however wasn't in the mood to wait as he urged them to take him now, at first the Kunoichi didn't want to, as they were working off last nights hangover, however Naruto managed to persuade them into doing it.
===================================
And this meant it was time to return to our regularly scheduled programming
===================================
As they were walking down the stairs, Naruto suddenly paused
"Oi gaki, what's wrong?" Anko asked however Naruto didn't answer, turning around he was sweating and his eyes dilated. Opening his mouth to speak, he instead coughed up a glob of blood
"what the fuck" was all he said before he leaned back falling down the stairs
"NARUTO!"
====================================
Drip...
Drip...
Drip...
Naruto opened his eyes as and sat up. Looking around in confusion Naruto noted that he seemed to be in some kind of sewer. Raising his eyebrow, Naruto stood up. Looking around he let out a gasp, as he was standing in front of a gate. Large red bars in front of him, however these bars were twisted and rigged. Looking up he noticed that the middle of the gate had a slip of paper with the Kanji for Seal on it. However the paper had many holes inside of it, and from the holes flooded out and endless stream of red.
"How nice of you to pay me a visit" a voice said from inside the gate. Naruto gulped as he noticed a pair of eyes staring at him from the darkness, those eyes were easily bigger than him. Than slowly as if to build suspense a nose came out of the darkness, leading into a muzzle. Finally revealing a full on face. It was a face that he had seen drawn in the history books. One that he had seen many, many times at the annual festivals. Naruto could only mumble the name of the being before him
"Kyuubi..." He said shakily however this got a howling laugh in return.
"Why yes ningen, I am the kyuubi no Yoko. How nice of you to realize that."
While Naruto was a brave kid, very brave if you asked him. Even he couldn't stop the slight amount of shaking going through his body. However he took in a deep breath and calmed himself down, judging by the fact that the Kyuubi had not killed him, there was a reason for that, or the kyuubi wasn't planning on killing Naruto yet. Looking around Naruto had to raise an eyebrow
"Where are we anyways?"
"Your Mindscape"
"which is?"
"A representation of your psyche" seeing the raised eyebrow the Kyuubi decided to elaborate
"we're in your head kid, this is all apart of you mind?"
"ok I get that, but why are you here, I thought the Yondaime killed you?" At this the Kyuubi let out a roar of a laugh, the entire cage world seemed to shake.
"FOOL, a mere human could never hope to kill me, I AM THE KYUUBI NO YOKO, to think that whatever jutsu a human could come up with could kill me is LAUGHABLE!" The Kyuubi however never mentioned that it could die and the fourth could kill it. However it would regenerate... Eventually. Naruto's eyes widened at what the Biju was saying. His lips suddenly dried
"So you mean... All this time... You were sealed inside of me!"
"yep"
Naruto couldn't help the shake that went down his spine, however after a while a smile crossed his face. "Oh good that's much better than the alternative."
"What's the alternative?"
"Oh that I am you, and you're in my head in order to guide me" At that Kyuubi rolled it's massive eyes, however there was a certain emotion that Naruto couldn't make out. However Naruto decided to get this conversation back on track.
"Did you call me here?" Naruto asked his eyes narrowing slightly however the chuckle he got shocked him
"and just why would I do that?" He asked causing Naruto to tilt his head
"Then who did?"
"what would be me" A voice from behind him caused Naruto to quickly turned. Behind him was another man, he was a teenager and had red eyes, red hair. And seemed to be wearing a Jersey of some kind. Naruto raised his eye at the teen
"And you are?"
"Akashi." The man said simply, Naruto raised an eyebrow at this before gesturing for the teen to continue.
"Well you could say that im the original owner of those eyes of your's." This caused Naruto to take in a sharp breath before he started to bombard the Teen with questions.
"What are these eyes? Where do they come from? Why do I have them? Can they get stronger!" Naruto asked question after question causing Akashi to raise his hands to stop the blonde
"Calm down, to tell you the truth in my life I never really dedicated much time trying to... Understand the eyes." He said with a bit of a distant look remembering his life. "However what I did figure out is that the eyes can become a huge strain on the body if they get to strong" Naruto however raised an eyebrow at this, and Akashi coughed into his hand lightly biting his lip in an attempt to figure out the correct words.
"To answer your final question, yes the eyes can get stronger. But only if you want them to be stronger, the eyes respond to your will, and the stronger you want to become, the stronger they will become. However if you push them to become to strong before your ready, well your body will do what it's doing right now."
"And that is?"
"Completely rejecting itself." Naruto swallowed hard. It was a scary prospect, dying in a way that you can't even fight against.
"Don't worry kid, you should be fine after your body calms down. However you have to be careful, if you push your eyes too hard, you will die to it"
"So what I'm not allowed to want to get stronger?" However Akashi shook his head
"it's not that you aren't allowed to want it. But you have to make sure your body can handle it. So that means even more intense training in order to make it so that your body can keep up" Akashi walked up to naruto a smirk on his face
"So tell me Naruto Uzumaki what is your goal." He asked and Naruto stopped for a second before he grinned back at the teen
"To become the strongest in the wo- No, not the world. To become the strongest in the entire universe, to shake the planet with a punch, and to blow away the universe with a kick!" He said getting a nod from the teen
"Good, now the Kyuubi has something to tell you." He paused almost as if that was all he was going to say, however he spoke up again "It was nice meeting you Naruto Uzumaki, I am... Happy to see who became my descended" Looking around the cell "even if it's in another universe" he mumbled before fading away. Letting the smile on his face fade, Naruto turned to the Kyuubi much more guarded then he was before.
"Alright Kyuubi it's just you and me now." Naruto crossed his arms in front of his chest, his eyes narrowed at the Biju
"I suppose it is Ningen, but what does that mean to you?" Naruto couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the question
"Not much honestly, just tell me what you have to tell me" Naruto was being much colder then he meant, however he couldn't allow the Kyuubi to see any kind of weakness, however even putting up a brave front is a weakness, not that Naruto knew that.
"Well Ningen, I'll tell you simply, we're dying"
"uh yeah, Akashi told me why" however the Kyuubi simply huffed, which nearly blew Naruto away,
"Yes the other one told you why that happened however there are a lot of separate but connected events leading up to that outcome." It said lightly causing Naruto to raise an eyebrow
"Separate but connected?" Pinching the bridge of his nose he let out a sigh "this is going to be a headache, I just know it."
"Quite the headache." Naruto waved his hands to allow the tailed beast to go on. "well as you know, when you were younger you got the emperor's eyes correct" at his nod Kyuubi continued "well I may or may not be partly to blame. You see, when the fight was going on, you started to draw on my chakra, I wanted to get free... So I tried flooding you with my chakra, however in an odd sequence of events, the seal didn't break instead it changed" Naruto couldn't help but sigh at this
"Ok so what's the damage?" At this the Kyuubi nervously chuckled which caused Naruto to drop his jaw at the Biju's bashful action
"well the seal changed, instead of filtering my chakra, into normal chakra, it's flooding your pathways with my chakra."
"and what does that mean exactly?"
"Well you see, it means that your chakra is slowly becoming my chakra, and well you could become another umm another Biju" The tailed beast spoke
"wait WHAT" Naruto shouted out in shock at the development, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN I COULD BECOME A BIJU"
"I MEAN YOU MAY BECOME A BIJU, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, I DON'T KNOW" The kyuubi roared back before calming itself "plus you are already beginning to see shifts in your personality, the want to be an alpha? The desire to have the strength to shake the universe? That's your newly inherited Biju pride coming through" Naruto couldn't help but drop in shock at what he was being told
"How long do I have before I become a Biju?"The tailed beast bit it's lip in thought
"As long as you don't pull on my chakra, your first tail should appear when you're about fourteen, hell you might die of old age before you get to two tails, however if you do pull on my chakra it will accelerate the process depending on how much you pull" the Kyuubi said grimly however Naruto could only sit there for a while. However after a while he let out a laugh. This laugh rang throughout the sewer that was his mind, echoing back a forth, calming himself Naruto had one last question
"So what you're saying is that I am going to become a biju?" He asked and the Kyuubi Nodded at this and Naruto couldn't help but shake his head "Man I need to find lady luck, and either kick or ass, or make out with her, maybe both. Cause my luck is just crazy" Naruto said simply and the Kyuubi could only shake it's head at it's container. Closing his eyes Naruto could feel himself begin to wake up. It was an odd feeling. However He opened his eyes one last time
"You better watch out Kyuubi I still have the goal of being the strongest in the world, so when I start to get stronger, I am going to kick your ass." He said this firmly before fading away. The Kyuubi stared at where the soon to be Biju was and he let a bloodthirsty smile cross his face
"Try it Kit, I look forward to a good fight" the Kyuubi said before it winced as another large chuck of chakra was taken from it, however it regenerated it back quickly. However for once in it's long existence the Kyuubi had something to look forward to, hell it could wait another two, twenty, or two hundred years, but when Naruto was finally strong enough to fight it, then it would come at Naruto with everything it had.
A/N CUT THAT'S A WRAP. Now If you don't like how easily Naruto got over it just remember, Naruto is much more smart in this version, not only that but he knows what it's like to be loved so he was able to calm himself. And if you don't like the Idea of Naruto becoming a biju, hey no one else seems to be doing it, I mean I remember this one fic that showed Naruto as the kyuubi but it was discontinued ;-; BUT I think what I'm doing is unique enough to warrant some slack... Maybe? I hope? Whatever. SO PLEASE leave a nice JUICY review and I will see you all NEXT TIME, TTFN ta ta for now.
P.S Yes I used deadpool, that was a good part SO WHAT
