Chapter 1: The Situation

--Namikaze Manor--

The Wise Hokage let out a sigh as he was reading in his study room, Kushina was in the master bedroom crying her eyes out at what just transpired the day before. He placed a hand onto his pen, gripping it rather harshly as he was just, so upset with himself.

He looked to the side and grimaced, looking at a picture of his family, showing what seems to be a happy family.

Well, not exactly. As while Minato and Kushina were holding Natsumi the light of their lives, Naruto was on the back, looking rather unhappy being around them. Eyes showing the look of sorrow and fists that were tightened so hard that one can see the knuckles turning white.

Minato sighed at this as he would then slowly got up, he would need to sign some papers for today so that they could start repairing the whole village.

But he needed to check on his wife and daughter first before anything else, he would get out of his room, putting on his famous Haori and walked to the bedroom.

--Minato and Kushina's bedroom--

The door to their bedroom was clicked open as Minato slowly got into it, what he saw made him seriously sad.

Simply because, Kushina's usual straight red hair was a mess, it was spreaded all over the bed. Her eyes were puffy, from all the crying she was doing, her hands were gripping their bedsheets as if it was the last thing she could muster in doing.

Minato, who loved her wife, couldn't bear to see her like this anymore as he walked towards her, lying down next to her and wrapped his arms around her, trying to consolidate her.

He would place a hand over her head and started stroking it and cooed her, saying.

"Shhh, Kushina calm down-"

But all Kushina could respond was.

"Mina-kun.. you didn't have to put him in jail-"

"It's not that easy, Kushina.. it's not that.. easy"

After he said this, his eyes started to water as he looked at Kushina. Now he was the one seeking comfort as the couple started to hug one another, trying to deal with the pain that they just received, the finishing blow.

Being referred to as "Blood" did not help at all. It just meant Naruto would rather not be associated with them anymore. Not even by family ties.

It was their fault after all, it wasn't that they couldn't reconnect with him. It was just that they well, they didn't want to.

To them, taking care of Natsumi mattered more than Naruto. Yes, they were playing favourites and now they would both suffer.

A few minutes later, Minato would walk out of the bedroom, looking rather unhappy about all this but, he is the Hokage first and foremost and well, he'll have to head over to the Hokage tower to continue signing paperwork.

--Random Training Ground--

CLANG! SHINK! TING!

These noise could be heard as The Namikaze-Uzumaki prodigy could be seen clashing attacks against the Last Uchiha, Sasuke.

Both parties were pretty evenly matched, while Sasuke had the strength advantage, Natsumi had the speed advantage.

Soon, both people slammed each other by their forearms, as both people would start attempting to overpower one another.

"Thought you would at least have the decency to see your brother!" Shouted Sasuke

In which Natsumi responded "FUCK YOU!"

They would both then released one another as Natsumi held out a hand, with a Rasengan quickly forming on it meanwhile Sasuke quickly did the handseals to the Chidori.

Monkey! Dragon! Rat! Bird! Ox! Snake! Dog! Tiger! Monkey!

Soon the sound of a wailing bird could be heard coming from his palm, letting it be known that a Chidori was coming.

Both people would run towards the other as they were about to slam their respective attacks, only for both of their wrists to be held by the sudden appearance of one Kakashi Hatake who threw both of them somewhere else.

Both of their attacks would slam against the ground causing unnecessary damage to the training area as Kakashi let out one single shout

"YOU TWO! ARE COMRADES! DON'T YOU DARE DO THAT AGAIN!"

For the first time in Natsumi's life, she saw Kakashi scolding both of them rather uncharacteristically from the 10 years everyone knew each other.

Natsumi slowly stood up as she said "Kakashi-sensei.. we were just sparring"

Only to receive a glare from the One eyed Jonin who asked with a hostile "Sparring huh? If I wasn't here to stop both of you! You would've both lost your hands!"

He shouted as he crossed his arms, looking at both 15 year olds with his one lone eye showing a sense of, discouragement.

"A rivalry is good and all, but when it only matters"

Kakashi let out a sigh as he would then walked away from both of them saying.

"No wonder Sakura was the only one in the team to graduate into a Chunin" which caused both of them to flinch at this as Kakashi would shunshin away.

Natsumi slowly dropped onto both her knees as she would then say "That's..not fair.."

Sasuke on the other hand would stand up, his hands holding his obi rather nonchalantly and said "Was a good fight though, I'll see you around Natsumi"

Natsumi stared at Sasuke who was walking away from her, her eyes staring onto his short sleeved shirt that had the Uchiha emblem on it.

Natsumi would then get back up, looking around as she tightened her grip, her nails drawing blood of her palms and her knuckles turning white.

She bit her lips as she slowly headed towards the Konoha Prison Chambers. She needed to see her brother, no amount of shame would stop her from doing so.

--Konoha Prison Visit Room--

Natsumi sat at one of the booths as she patiently waited for her brother to come by.

Was she excited to see him? No, not at all. She just did this so that, she wouldn't have to cry herself to sleep again.

CLANG!

A sound of metal bars being opened could be heard as she brought her head up, looking for the source of the sound.

Finding one Naruto Namikaze in the usual prison outfit, with black and white horizontal stripes.

It was nothing unusual, but Naruto seemed bored. Not wanting to be there. Well that's what his expression said. He had cuffs on obviously, but not chakra sealing ones.

Not that he needed to be hit by those.

Naruto sat onto the chair of the other side, looking at his.. blood. Letting out a bored smile as he said towards her.

"Hello Blood"

"Hello Naruto onii-chan"

He let out a tsk as he heard that and placed his elbows over the counter, with his fist right under his chin saying.

"The fact that you're here and not your mother and father shows that, well they don't want anything to do with me-"

Natsumi would slam her fists onto the counter and shouted "NOT AT ALL! Kaa-san cried when she found out it was you and Tou-san didn't even touch his food this mornin-"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

It was Naruto's turn to raise his voice as he looked at Natsumi slowly speaking.

"That's fucking bullshit, that feeling? That feeling that they were feeling when they saw me again? That's some fucking bullshit."

He would let out a loud exhale of air as he would then say "You don't just- neglect your son for a few years then find out that he ran away.. thinking "Oh I've fucked up". No no, that's not how life works"

The Young Blonde placed his index finger on the side of his temple "You don't fucking fuck with me, not anymore, not again, I refuse to live like that any longer.. goddamn I need a fucking cigarette!"

He shouted as he slammed his hands onto the counter in frustration. Looking at the guard to pass him one. Only to be given a shake of the head.

With this, Naruto sighed as he looked back at Natsumi and said "So, I take it you want to reconcile?"

Natsumi slowly nodded at this but Naruto could only chuckle at this and said "Well then, what makes you think that, that's even possible to be done?"

Natsumi would ponder for a bit as she looked around, till an answer arrived as she spoke "Cause we're family-"

Naruto lets out another chuckle at this as he looked at her with now lazy filled eyes, eyes that said that he has had enough of this.

"Tsukasa Kadoya, Natsumi Hikari are my only Family. If you want to be part of my family.. well? You'd have to be a Kadoya."

He slowly stood up, not wanting to hear anymore of this and said "I think we're done her-"

Natsumi would then shout "I CAN GET YOU OUT OF HERE!"

Only to be given another blank stare from her brother "I mean, I can do that too.. you can't technically take away of my DecaDriver. It'll always appear when I need it. It's my birthright after all.. something your parents took away from me."

He spoke all this, in a very blank tone, very cold. It seemed like there was nothing to cut through him.

Natsumi could only flinch at this, as she let out a huge gasp, feeling intoxicated by the coldness of Naruto's tone.

She remembered that fateful day, the day when he disappeared

Flashback*

October 10, 10 Years Earlier*

--Namikaze Manor--

Naruto was in his room, seemingly packing a small bag. Today was the day, that he would escape once and for all.

He couldn't deal with this, not after hearing the announcement that Natsumi was going to be the heir to the Uzumaki clan.

He was done with this, done with the neglect, done with everything that transpired in the 5 years of his life.

The Young Blond would straddle it over his back and jumped out of his room's window, and made a run for it to the Village Gate.

Tears formed from his eyes, but he had to do what he had to do.

He will miss some of his precious people there obviously, such as Kakashi, Shizune, Shikamaru, Choji and hell, Teuchi.

But nothing was changing his mind, he would make a break for it.

Little did he know, a certain someone was watching him behind a tree,

He was a man in a black tie-less suit, with a magenta colored dress shirt, accompanied by a twin lens reflex camera hung around his neck.

The man smiled from behind the tree as he would then be swallowed up by a thin glassy grey wall.

--In the forest outside of Konoha--

Naruto had just arrived at the place as he slowly made up camp, he was just outside of Konoha it seems.

He looked left and then right as he slowly opened up his bag and started to eat his ration for the day.

It was just some rice and eggs, nothing too special. How did a kid who was simply 5 Years old? Without any chakra was able to fend for himself?

He doesn't know, he really doesn't. Naruto just couldn't be bothered with that kind of stuff, being neglected and all that made him.. mature a bit too early.

Suddenly, he could hear some ruffling in the bushes nearby.

Naruto could only widen his eyes at this as he would then scramble around trying to find something he could use to fight with.

In a few seconds, he found himself a stick and grabbed it as tightly as he could. It wasn't too long neither was it too short.

It was long enough to be considered a boken of some sort.

As such he would stand up, as much as his tiny legs could muster. Holding his stick up, with both hands gripping the base of it.

THUD!

A sickening thud can be heard as Naruto's eyes widened, he looked back to see a shuriken that sunk itself into a tree.

This made Naruto's back hair stood up as he would then shout.

"COME ON OUT! WHOEVER YOU ARE!"

Then...

WHAM!

Naruto's stick was kicked away by someone with Jonin sandals, the young blond could only look at it break in a single snap.

His blood would turn cold as he would then be gifted with the sight of two men in red outfit with a brown flak jacket over their shirts.

One was blond, the other was a brunette.

Both of them smirked as one of them said.

"So, the son of The Yellow Flash is here huh?"

Naruto would take a few steps back, his throat closing up as his mouth was wide open.

This pressuring feeling, that he's feeling right now, what could it be?

This was Naruto's first feeling of KI also known as Killing Intent and this wasn't something he'd want to feel again for a long time.

As such, Naruto did the only think he could muster up, raising his fists shakily, as if he was having Parkinson's.

Both Jonin would smirk at this as both of them dashed towards him.

As soon as Naruto saw them, he would close his eyes, not wanting to see how he'll meet his untimely demise.

"ATTACK RIDE: B-B-B-BLAST"

Was all Naruto could hear as he heard inaudible screams, screams that seemed to signify pain and distraught, but also the sound of high pitched noises that seemed to be indicating that those were attacks.

The noises would go on for another 30 seconds until it all stopped, the closing eyes of Naruto would slowly flutter open like a window's shutters being opened up.

And all Naruto could see was, a Pink? No Magenta armored warrior holding a weirdly shaped box, well at least to him and two definitely dead Jonins with holes in their figures.

Naruto stared at the Magenta armored warrior as he would suddenly be grabbed by the wrist, as the warrior said.

"Come with me if you want to live"

Then everything else after that, was history.

End of Flashback*

Naruto would chuckle as he would then say "The only reason I'm here, is because I'm a true believer of, if I did the crime, I must do the time. So get out of my sight you bitch!"

His eyes would glow a slight purple color as the killing intent he flared towards Natsumi started suffocating her, her throat closed up and her eyes widening as she slowly dropped onto the floor, crawling around trying to get up.

Leaning towards the glass, Naruto would then say "Oh and one more thing, I'm not a Namikaze nor Uzumaki now.. I'm just a Kadoya."

The now revealed Kadoya would turn around towards the guard as he would slowly walk towards the exist, and said "Get me out of here, I'm done"

And all poor Natsumi could do, was stream tears of sadness from her eyes as she knew, even if she wanted to reconnect with her brother. It would take.. a very very long time.
