Naruto woke up to feel something cold around his neck. He had felt it many times before, he was being strangled his instincts instantly sent his hands to the man's neck and easily snapped it. He looked down at the corpse of the man and it was Madara.
"No no-no-no. I'm sorry don't die please I beg you. I'm sorry I didn't mean to do it. It was an accident" Naruto cried. After fifteen minutes of non-stop wailing, he saw a note hidden in Madara's pocket.
Madara didn't do things without a reason so if he left him a note it must have had some importance down the line. So with shaky hands, he reached for the note and read aloud.
To my son If you are reading this then you most likely have killed me. I want to tell you that I did not do it out of malice rather I wanted I the great Madara Uchiha to go out with one final fight. I want you to achieve your goals and make all your plans to bear fruit. Inside this, I have sealed my Mangekyou Sharingan you are to ask Zetsu to implant it into you as I do not want my surrogate son going blind this early. Take my war fan as and scythe as a final gift from me to you. I entrust you with my legacy my son may you do great things find a great wife and never forget I died loving you. From your tou-san Madara As he read it the letter became stained with tears. He was loved, he was entrusted with his father's legacy. He would achieve his goals not just for himself but for his father who entrusted him with his legacy.
Naruto soon felt a burning sensation in his eye. His vision was becoming even sharper. 'Is this the price of power' he thought. He picked up Madara's body and made his way to a field in a secluded forest he used to train. He buried him there and set his body alight so he would not be used by evil men. He soon sat down cross-legged to travel to his Mindscape. He hadn't talked to Kyuu-chan in some time.
(Mindscape)
Naruto saw Kurama overlooking the mental recreation if Konoha that he had created in his mind. He sat down next to her and said "He's dead" he whispered.
Kurama hadn't been watching and didn't know that Madara had died. While she hated him she respected his strength and the place he had in Naruto's heart was not to be ignored.
She quickly embraced Naruto in a Hug as he cried into her shoulder. He needed to rest his mind and re-evaluate things. He hugged her and to her surprise, he kissed her.
Kurama had begun developing feelings for Naruto for quite some time now but she didn't know if he would reciprocate those feelings and that kiss just proved that he did. They didn't break the kiss for a bit and enjoyed the warmth of each other's arms for a bit.
"I have to go Kyuu-chan," Naruto said while blushing up a storm. He couldn't believe he did that. It was unnatural for him to show that much emotion but doing it made him feel warm inside. He liked that warmth.
(Real-world)
Naruto dressed himself up in his normal attire and picked up the letter again. He nipped his finger drawing blood and smeared it across the letter. The blood was quickly absorbed into it and in a puff of smoke there it was Madara's war fan and scythe.
He picked it up and sealed it into the storage seals that were on his wrist. These would be the weapon of choice.
"Zetsu" Naruto called. Soon the half-man half-plant thing came out of the ground. "Yes Naruto-sama" it responded in a distorted voice.
Naruto lay down on his bed and threw a vial which contained two Mangekyou Sharingan in them and immediately Zetsu got the message 'Perform the transplant'. That was all he needed before he got to work
(Three hours later)
Zetsu had finished the transplant and it went perfectly with Naruto's body. His body seemed to give a boost to the Sharingan's predicting power allowing him to see five seconds in the future. Naruto's original Sharingan was very powerful, to say the least, it had the Amaterasu flames and the ability to stop time for five seconds in his left eye and his right eye, he had the ability to copy Sharingan powers and see into one's past and pass judgement. Like a God among men. Combined with Madara's s ability to rewind time and you have a formidable foe right there.
Once Naruto had fully adjusted to his eyes he made his way towards team seven's training ground using shadow walk it was quite easy to do so. He was in a bad mood and anyone who annoyed him would die, simple as that.
'The Akatsuki must be about to start moving for the Jinchuuriki. Nagato can't you see you are being manipulated. None of the members poses a threat as of now but I must continue to train and not get complacent.'
Naruto just remembered something that made him want to facepalm. Shadow clones transferred whatever experience they have gained to the original so he could train while doing other things at the same time.
"Kage Bunshin no jutsu" Naruto whispered soon two hundred clones appeared before him. "Fifty of you go read up on Konoha laws, one hundred of you go and practice Minato's Rasengan while the remaining fifty go practice the Hiraishin" Naruto ordered. Soon the clones split into groups and began to train.
Naruto stepped into a shadow and soon found himself in team seven's training grounds. "Naruto-no-Baka you are late" Sakura screeched Naruto covered his ears and calmly asked
"Do you see the Hatake"
"No"
"Therefore I am not late," he said in a tone you would use on a four-year-old. After fifteen minutes of waiting Kakashi finally appeared. with two bento boxes in hand.
"Sorry I am late I got my foot stuck in a cloud and had to find out how many colours I could smell," he said with an eye smile.
Nobody was believing him.
'I'm losing face here' Kakashi thought so he pulled out two bells from his pouch.
"You have until the afternoon to get these bells off me. You must come at me with intent to kill" said Kakashi with his ever-present eye smile.
"How are we meant to get all the bells if there are just two of them and three of us," Sakura asked more like shouting.
"If you don't get a bell you will be sent back to the academy," Kakashi says with a big smile that could even be seen through his mask. How he loved messing with genins.
"Ready, Three, two, one... GO!" Sakura and Sasuke darted off to hide and recuperate. While Naruto slipped into a fighting stance.
Kakashi pulled out his book and began reading which shocked Sasuke and Sakura that he could be reading in such a dire situation.
Naruto dashed towards him so fast that Kakashi couldn't even follow him and kicked him into the air. He then jumped up and engaged Kakashi in a fierce Taijutsu battle and it was obvious Naruto was superior as Kakashi wasn't used to fighting while falling. Soon they landed on the ground and Naruto sent a sharp jab at Kakashi's shoulder which Kakashi blocked. Naruto was expecting that. Naruto's strategy was to force Kakashi to block as much as possible to chip away at his defences and leave him open. Kakashi struck back with a kick to the head which Naruto responded with his own kick which cancelled each other out. At the same time though Naruto used his unnatural flexibility to use his leg to hook Kakashi's while sending a jab at Kakashi's throat making it hard for him to breath. Kakashi knowing it was not wise to try and engage Naruto in Taijutsu jumped back avoiding Naruto's jab barely and ran through hand signs. Katon: Hosenka No Jutsu when the bell rang.
"Well it seems that you all have failed to grasp the meaning of this te-" he was cut off by the sound of jingling bells. "I have obtained the bells. I shall give the weaklings the bells so they pass so let us continue our bout" Naruto started slipping into a fighting stance. "In light of new developments, you have all passed" Kakashi stated
"Remember this. Those who abandon the rules are scum but those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum" he said as he left leaving his Genin to ponder on that thought.
