Dreams come true
Chapter 1: A lost light found
In the Village Hidden in the Leaves on the continent of Elementia, all was quiet in the early morning. The only people being up were shinobi patrolling, merchants getting their stalls ready for the market, and garbage men cleaning the streets. The sun began to rise, shining its light on the inhabitants. At a certain part of the village lies a two-story house. Built like a miniature castle with two towers in blue and white bricks. In one of the towers was a bedroom painted with blue and orange. The room had a rug that showed a noble knight fighting and slaying a dragon. A mahogany bookshelf filled with books ranging between children's picture books to in depth chapter books. In the center of the room was a four-poster bed with deep blue comforter. A lump was in the direct center of the bed, twitching at random moments showing the lump was alive.
The door to the room opened, showing an old man walking in. The man had complete snow-white hair going to his back and a short trim whit beard. His complexion was tanned and the laugh wrinkles on his face showed a kind soul was in him. His eyes were an emerald green and when people investigated them, they swear the see a spark of mischief in them. The old man walked straight to the bed, reached down and yanked the comforter with a smile.
"Rise and shine little knight!" He exclaimed "Today is a big day!"
The lump was shown as a 5-foot 6 boy with blonde spikey hair and three whisker marks on both his cheeks. Wincing at the sudden voice, rousing him from his sleep, he cracked open one of his electric blue eyes and glared.
"Come on Jiji, I was sleeping!" the boy whined
The old man just laughed. "Today is Graduation! Don't want to miss that now do we Naruto?"
The boy named Naruto just gave the grandfather a smile that would a fox proud. "No way Jiji! When I graduate and I will this time. I will be one step closer to being Hokage!" He said with enthusiasm that made the grandfather laugh again
"Well go get dressed, breakfast is in 15, and I went through a lot of trouble to make it." He said shutting the door behind him.
Naruto leaped from the bed and rushed to his bathroom to take a shower and get ready for his big day. Turning on the water and stepping into the tub, Naruto began reflecting on his life so far. For the first 4 years or what he can remember his life was a pure living hell. No one gave him any acknowledgment or acceptance, just constant belittlement and scorn. Saying things like "Demon" or "Monster". Telling their children to never be around him. The Third Hokage was nice to him and the family that ran the local ramen stand, the Ichiraku's were very nice and let him eat at their restaurant but that was all he had, and they were only a few people. The worse was during his birthday on October 10, the villagers would go out "Fox-Hunting" and their target was him. The Fourth year was the last hunt though, thanks to his grandfather…
Running through the village panting heavily, was one younger Naruto. The villagers were hunting him, and he needed to hide. The Third Hokage was out on a trip for alliances and the Ichiraku family were somewhere else. Ducking into an alleyway Naruto could here the mob approaching. Praying to whatever deity that could hear him to help him, he prayed for the mob to pass by him. Unfortunately, there were ninjas in the mob who knew how to track a target. A Chunnin snuck up behind him and grabbed him by his neck.
"I found the Demon!" The ninja yelled
Naruto watched as the crowd marched straight to him. He tried to struggle, but the ninja with help from two more tied him up with wire so he would be helpless. The crowd got to him and started to beat on him shouting obscenities and calling for vengeance on him for lost loved ones.
"this is for my husband!"
"I lost my daughter to you Demon!"
"How does this feel now that you can't fight back!"
Were some of the things that were yelled or screamed out. Naruto was helpless to stop the fists or legs that punched and kicked at him, keeping his eyes close wishing for the pain to stop. Then he heard someone say something that made his blood run cold.
"Time to put you out of your misery Demon!"
Opening his eyes, he sees a Ninja with a red and white fan symbol on his left shoulder walk straight up with a kunai knife with the intent to kill him. The crowed cheered for him to finish Naruto, and the man took it all in. Naruto closed his eyes one more time knowing it would be his last few moments on Earth. "Jiji, Old man Ichiraku, Ayame-neechan I guess this is goodbye." He thought with sorrow
For a few moments he waited but nothing happened. Opening his eyes, he sees the ninja with his arm outstretched towards him, yet he could go forward due to someone's hand holding it from continuing. He looked left and sees a cloaked figure with a wrapped bundle across his back holding the assailant arm as if it was nothing. The figure then with a small grunt threw the man back to the mob as if he was a toy. He then turned around from the mob and walked up to Naruto. Crouching down he broke the wire with his bare-hands, Naruto looked up into the hood but could only see a silver beard and the mouth.
"Are you alright little one?" the figure asked calmly and with a smile
Naruto nodded about to say something when the would-be assassin yelled at the man.
"What are you doing?! He's a demon!" he screamed
Naruto watched as the mans mouth change from a smile to a tooth gritting snarl. Standing at full height he looked at the bastard. "The only demon's I see are you! Especially you Uchiha. What would Madara or Hashirama say to the lot if they were alive!" He snarled
The man reached behind his back for the bundle and unwrapped it in front of everyone. It was a sword but it was the strangest sword Naruto has ever seen. It was different from the katana he's seen at the weapons shop. The hilt was wrapped in faded brown leather leading up to a golden T-shape hilt with blue gems on the ends, the blade was double sided with a grove in the middle. Looking closer, Naruto can see some writing in the groove, but couldn't make it out due to it being in a language he's never see. The man held it with both hands in front of him ready to defend himself and Naruto.
"If you even think of attacking the boy or myself, I will defend." The man growled
The Uchiha snarled at the man and charged right at him, knife drawn. He brought the knife down aiming for the mans head. Naruto closed his eyes thinking the old man was going to die when he heard steel whistle through the air, followed by a wet thump and scream. Opening his eyes, he saw the Uchiha kneeling on the ground trying to stop the now missing arm from spewing blood all over, looking behind he saw the man holding his sword loosely in his right hand, looking at the crowd and ignoring the weeping assailant behind him.
"That was a warning." He said with a grin tone looking at the crowd "For all of you."
The mob was terrified beyond reasoning. Those who watched the scene thought the old man would be dead on the ground and them continuing the torture and brutal festivities on the boy. Now they are looking at a crying Jounin and a unknown man capable of taking them out.
"Screw this!" one person in the mob shouted "He's only one man!"
The mob, revitalized in the shout rushed forward to the cloaked individual. Grabbing his sword, he sliced a ninja vertically in half, he pivoted on his left foot, spun around and sliced three more horizontally. Two villagers with scythes went in on a overhead attack from both sides when the sword cut one of the attackers arms off and the other had a fist implanted with the mans left fist. The attacker was launched straight into the alley wall, spider web cracks appeared from the imprint, the attacker then felt something thruster into his chest, looking down he saw the scythe the other attacker had imbedded in his chest. His eyes became glazed over and with a rattling sigh, he passed away.
Naruto couldn't believe his eyes. In the span of 30 seconds, his savior cut down six people, three of them being Chunin, without even blinking. The cloaked man continued his defense of Naruto, cutting limbs or heads of anyone trying to get them both. The mob had started to realize they were doomed if they had stayed, so they did what any cowards would do they fled. The only people that were still in the alleyway thought was slicked with blood was Naruto, the old man, and the whimpering one armed Uchiha. The savior walked towards the whimpering mess and hoisted him up harshly onto his feet.
"Look at me" the savior ordered the Uchiha.
The Uchiha was looking anywhere for an escape, for help, for anything! He dared not to look at the man, for he was Death Personified.
"Look at me!" he ordered again in a booming voice.
He looked at him and the old man can see he was terrified of what would happened next.
"What's your name?"
"T-Ta-Taisuke Uchiha." The now named Uchiha stuttered.
"Well then Taisuke, I'm going to let you live. As long as you do two things for me." The man said.
"Anything!" Taisuke shouted.
"I want you to spread the word to every single soul of this village that the so called 'demon brat's is under my protection. If they value their lives and limbs they will stay clear of him and no longer treat him as the plague." The man said
"W-what's the second thing?" Taisuke asked
"Run." The man then tossed Taisuke out the alley, where he scampered off into the night to do the old mans bidding.
The cloaked man gave a tremendous sigh and looked around the alley.
"No matter where I go, I always leave a mess. It doesn't matter if its garbage or body par- actually they are pretty much the same." The old man said
He turned towards Naruto who flinched thinking he's next. The old man noticed the flinch, he put his sword back in its bundle and held both his hands out in front of him in a placating manner.
"It's okay little guy. I'm not one of those horrid people." He said with with a soothing tone " Are you alright?"
Naruto nodded "Yeah I'm fine they didn't get me with the knives and pitchforks in time!" He said patting himself down for damage, failing to see the cloaked man twitch at the words "knives" and "pitchforks"
He looked up at the man "Why did you help me?"
The man looked at him with silence when he reached up with both hands and pulled his hood down, revealing the mans face. He had a round face that was tanned by the elements and wrinkled with laugh lines. His hair and beard were white as fresh snow and his eyes were emerald green. He looked at Naruto and smiled.
"Why do I need a reason to help?"
"Most people would never help me, not even the shinobi that Jiji has stand guard over me. Some of them even join in!"
The man shook his head but then raised it up when he remembered one detail.
"Jiji? You have a grandfather?" he asked
Naruto shrugged his shoulders "Not really. He's like one to me when he has time from his job as Hokage."
The man's eyes widened " Your not talking about Sarutobi Hiruzen? The Third Hokage?"
Naruto nodded "Yeah! You know him?"
The man nodded "He and I go way back, about the time Tobirama , the Second Hokage was still in office. I was in fact going to see him would you like to accompany me little one?"
Naruto got to his feet and pointed at the man with an annoyed but determined look
"I'm not 'little one'! I'm Naruto Uzumaki, future Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village!" he said with enthusiasm
The man was startled at the declaration, but then he started chuckling for abit then it became full laughter!
Naruto bristled with indignation "What's so funny!? Think I'm not going to be Hokage Old Man!?"
The man chortled one last time and looked at him with a smile "Oh no I'm not laughing at you or your dream. I'm laughing because you remind me of one of my old students! She shouted she was going to be Hokage with that much enthusiasm it just brought back old memories, and my names not 'Old Man' , it's Drake." The man now known as Drake said. He outstretched his right hand "It's nice to meet you Naruto!"
Naruto smiled and reached his hand when his vision blurred and he began to fall forward into darkness.
After that, he woke up in a comfortable bed in a big room that looked like it was fit for royalty! Drake had brought him to his house and he lived here ever since. The old man treated Naruto as if he was his own grandson so naturally he started to call Drake 'Jiji'. For nine years, Naruto lived in peace and happiness, everyday was a blessing for him. Never again did the villagers or ninja's bother or harass him, in fact over time the Ninja started to acknowledge Naruto by seeing him for who he is, a boy who was dealt a horrid hand. The villagers however, tried to make his life as miserable as possible. They were unsuccessful though due to Drake disrupting their plans by beating up the would be attackers and buying their businesses from the ones that hire them, firing the conspirators and blacklisting them everywhere.
During Naruto's reflection, Drake was just finishing breakfast for both of them. He found the last nine years to be some of the best he had in his life. The boy was kind soul with a bit of mischief mixed into it. He was curious and absorbed any information as if he was a sponge. When he was eight, Drake started training him in sword play and hand-to-hand combat, he found out that Naruto learned through doing then reading theory. So with many bruises and bloody noses (mainly on Naruto's part) he became a powerhouse at the Academy. Hearing rapid footsteps coming down the stairs, Drake turned around to see a grinning Naruto decked out in his signature orange and blue jumpsuit.
"Oh no your not going out in that thing!" Drake said with exasperation
"What?! Jiji I love these clothes! Orange is an awesome color dattebayo!" Naruto said but then blushed a bit in embarrassment from saying his tick.
Drake smirked at his grandsons slip up, he knew Naruto only slipped by being excited or mad. He recalled a similar person with the same problem from long ago.
"Come on Jiji one more bowl please?"
"Benihime, you eat too much ramen and you would explode! You should slow down."
"Never! Ramen is the food of the gods! Dattebane!"
"-ji? -iji? JIJI!" Naruto shouted
Jerking in surprise, Drake blinked and looked at his grandsons face noticing the concern look on it. He usually never zone out like that, but for as long as his grandson was around he would get memories of one of his students. Shaking his head, he smiled and ruffled his grandsons hair.
"Sorry I was just lost on memory road." He chuckled "Back to the earlier conversation, I have a early graduation gift for you. Sit down and start eating while I go grab it" he said while walking out the kitchen
Naruto nodded his head with a smile and hurried to the table to eat. He started to grab some pancakes , bacon eggs, toast, and started to inhale of the food. He finished his meal in record time and was about to grab seconds, when he heard a noise. A noise that reminded him of small bells that he and his grandfather would ring on the 21st of December to celebrate the solstice. Straining his ears, he noticed the sound was coming from the living room , being quiet and loud at certain times, as if it was moving.
"Here we are!" Naruto's grandfather exclaimed, bring him out of his inquiry. He came in with a brown paper wrapped bundle that was tied by twine.
"Hey Jiji? Were you ringing a bell just now?" he asked
Drake frowned in confusion and cocked an eyebrow at him. "A bell? Not at all, why?"
"Never mind then. I must've imagined it." Naruto waved off the question.
Drake continued to stare just bit longer before shrugging and handing the parcel to Naruto. He untied the twine and pushed the paper aside to see the contents, and he was ecstatic at what he say! The package held three pieces of clothing, a black leather coat with silver fur trimmed collar, two pockets in the chest area and his red Uzumaki swirl imprinted on its back. A pair of black pants that had a silver chained looping from on belt loop to his right pocket that had a five point star with leaves of orange like glass in the middle of the chain. Last but certainly not least was a pair of black combat boots with silver stud buttons to buckle it up.
Naruto jumped with joy and gave his grandfather a big hug. " These are awesome Jiji! Thank you so much!"
Drake gave out a bellowing laugh and reciprocated the hug. "Your welcome little knight! Now go put it on! You got to show the world how awesome you are!" he exclaimed
Grabbing his new clothes, Naruto ran to the hallway bathroom to go change quickly. After putting on his boots he gave himself a once over in the mirror, admiring how the silver of zipper and chains were shining brightly, how the fur collar was soft and warm, and how the clothes gave him so much freedom to move about. Stepping out, he went straight to his grandfather to show the change. Drake smiled and clapped three time. "What a miracle! My eyes are no longer hurting from that old eyesore!" he exclaimed to the heavens as if they answered his prayer.
Naruto gave his grandfather a deadpanned look then shook his head. He was about to retort when the clock in the hallway chimed 8 times signaling that the Academy would start in 30 minutes.
"Oh man I'm late! I'll see you at 3 jiji! Naruto exclaimed as he ran through the hall and out the door, with his grandfather following him till they reached the gate.
" Come straight home Naruto! Were going to celebrate your graduation!" Drake yelled waving his little knight goodbye. Naruto threw his left hand up to show he got the message and with that he was out of sight.
Drake calmly walked back into the house and locked the door after entering. He then went on to close the drapes to all the windows of his house to make sure no one sees what he's planning to do. He finished covering up the last window in the living room then looked around. It was a large white room with multiple leather chairs and a couch that were facing a white stone fireplace that had a mantle with an assortment of pictures of him and Naruto surrounding a wood and brass clock. Sighing he reached the couch that was in front of the fireplace he sat down and closed his eyes, relieved that his grandson didn't find out where the noise came from.
"You almost were found out little one." He said to the empty and silent room. For a moment nothing happens, but then the same tinkling sound that Naruto heard earlier began again.
"Ting ting tingtinging" ? Replied
Drake opened his right eye and looked straight at the clock to see a miniature girl with blonde hair tied up in a ponytail wearing a green leaf-like dress and she had translucent wings coming out of the back . "You almost blew the whole surprise Tinker bell." He chastised the now name Tinker Bell.
Tinker Bell puffed out her cheeks and crossed her arms under hear chest. "Tingtingting ting ting ting!"
"I understand you want to meet him, but it was going to be a surprise."
"Ting ting!"
Drake eyes widened with that last comment "Where did you even learned that word?"
"Ting!"
"I doubt that."
"Ting ting tang!"
"He did not!"
"Tang!"
"Okay, now I'll believe that was him. Stupid furball." Drake grumbled "He really said that in front of the court?"
Tinker Bell nodded her head furiously signaling it was the truth. Facepalming his face, Drake got up from his chair and motioned Tink to his right shoulder. The little fairy jumped up with a smile and flew to her new spot. Drake with Tinker bell on his shoulder now, climbed up the staircase to the second floor. Walking into his study he went straight towards his desk and pushed the button on the side revealing it's most wonderous secret, The Book of Disney. Lifting it out of its hiding place, Drake stared at the golden imprint of the man holding a mouse's hand with a melancholy look and a tear coming out of his right eye. Feeling a small hand wipe the tear away, he looked at the fairy and smiled a sad smile.
"I have so many regrets in my life Tink, not being there for him was a big one." He said with remorse "Looking at Naruto, I see a spark of something inside of him. Of either light, life, love, or all three I don't know but I just know that he is the one." He finished with conviction
Tinker Bell smiled a teary eyed smile and nodded agreeing with the Guardian of the Book. She, like all the others, never blamed him for not being there while he blamed himself. They helped him out of his depression and gave him a reason to keep fighting, to keep living, and she like the First Created One agreed that this boy Naruto was also the one.
"Now then, I have a feeling someone might cause Naruto some problems at the academy." Drake continued bringing Tinker Bell out of her own thoughts. "I need some one small but very fast to keep an eye on him." Drake then put his left hand to his chin thinking "But who can I send on such short notice? What do you think Tin- ?" He stopped noticing the little fairy was no longer on his shoulder.
'Works every time ' he thought with a grin. He then looked at the book in his hand and with a deep breath he began to chant.
"The time has come and thee hour is nigh
For light and hope to begin to soar high
The heir apparent has risen from the blood soaked ground
And is ready to take the Kingdoms Crown!"
The book begun to glow a soft golden color and started to levitate off of his hands. It slowly opened and turned its pages to straight in the middle of the book. Every page the was flipped glowed gold brighter then the last, till it reached the middle where to Drake it was looking straight into the sun. No matter how bright it got he never looked away or closed his eyes. Words made out of light flew out of book and coalesced into 5 orbs. That's when Drake had to close his eyes to risk permanent eye damage for staring to long.
'I should probably get my eyes checked after this' he thought 'Knowing my luck I'm probably going to end up blind thanks to this.'
He noticed the light die down and all became silent and dark. Risking his eyes safety once more, he barely lifted his lids and squinted through his lashes. Seeing no problems or danger he opened his eyes and looked at the spots where the five orbs gathered and smiled.
"Been awhile since you've been out of there hasn't it" he said looking at the middle orb spot and found not an orb but a mouse with red shorts, white gloves and yellow shoes.
"It sure was pal!" the being responded "How are you doing?"
"I'm doing much better now…Mickey Mouse" Drake replied
End of chapter 1
Hi guys and gals! This is your host CRMN31! I want to thank all of you for reading and responding to the prologue of my very first fanfiction! I started writing that chapter when I was in Disney world for a family reunion and was waiting to ride Rise of the Resistance. I have read a few stories where Naruto and Disney combined and I loved them, so I thought I would try it out you know? Anyway, I am thinking of doing a harem of Disney characters for Naruto ( Elsa being the main pairing because that situation with her being alone and scared give her common ground between the two). Someone asked if Hinata would be in it, what would you think? Should I add characters from Kingdom Hearts to this story? I also have a challenge for you, the readers! Guess who the furball is and I will grant you one harem member slot to be filled with any Disney Princess, Star wars female protagonist, or Marvel Cinematic Universe heroine of your choice! The others will be voted in during the stories progression so no one will be left out of helping me make this a great story!
In the words of Walt Disney
Keep moving forward and I'll see you next time!
