Naruto: Endrborinn
Chapter 2
I do not own Naruto
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxMiles underneath the earth, covered by a vast body of water, multiple statue like figures sat in a circle however one in the center sitting on a broken throne, a sword resting on it's shoulder and a staff in it's right hand snapped open their eyes as if something awaken them,
"The Valknut…" "The Alfaðir has returned…" xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The heavens flashed and roared releasing rain over the village, a loud gasp left his lips as a young youth shot forward sitting upwards his eyes was nearly bloodshot, he felt a strange vibration over his chest as the symbol of the Alfaðir glowed a brilliant blue, ignorant of it's meaning to him it's just a seal, seeing as he is the child of an Uzumaki, and one of the greatest seal master's in the elemental nations, seals have been a large part of his life, however whenever he brought to his parent's attention, the interlocked triangle would seemingly disappear the second before their eyes would reach towards the youth. Annoyed, he would give up and just decided to live with it, however he keep's on getting the same dream, every night for the past three years, and as always, he would awake in cold sweat, and the symbol humming. However, this dream, this particular dream in and of itself just felt too real, as if he was physically there, before it would just be glimpses, or small scenes, but this one…this one hit way too different,
Climbing out of his bed he would feel his way through the dark room, only momentarily illuminated by the flashing storm outside, normally people would feel off putted by a lightning storm of this magnitude however, the youth felt…calmly at ease… as he opened the door of his room and walked through the dark hallways, the lightning would flash once more, reflecting a shadow, Naruto would use the wall as support as he guided himself through the dark hallway, he would stop to look outside one of the window, the rain beaten violently against the glass, as if any second now it would shatter exposing the house to harsh element outside, however it didn't, the glass stayed strong. The lightning flashed once again, however the shadow reflected by Naruto wasn't one of a 12-year-old child, the shadow reflected stood a 6'1 man holding a giant spear, Naruto sighed as he made his way into the kitchen, receiving a glass of water and drank it.
Another lightning flash would occur making the 12-year-old whip his head towards the corner where he saw a figure standing there, holding an inquisitive tone, the figure spoke.
"Naruto, is that you?" The voice is feminine, it wasn't his mother, so this means its his second younger sibling, his sister Mito, "What are you doing up so late? We have graduation tomorrow…"
Naruto would turn to face his sister, his hand releasing the kitchen knife he grasped once he saw the shape, Mito would turn the light, a semi-annoyed look on her face,
"And why is this place so damn dark?"
Naruto had a sheepish grin on his face as he chuckled, it was kind of foolish on his part, however they were to be shinobi soon, an even shinobi must be accustomed to the dark,
"Well, it was late and I didn't want to wake anybody up, especially his royal Highness." Naruto stated, referring to his youngest brother, who is filled with nothing but hot hair and need to be humbled quickly. Mito chuckled at his jab towards their brother as she also agrees that he is a bit stuck up at time,
"But you haven't answered my question, what are you doing up?" She asked again pestering her older brother, Naruto would raise his two hands in the air as a means of surrendering,
"Fine, fine I just had a nightmare," was all he revealed, Mito could sense there was more however she didn't want to push it, it has been a while since the two had a conversation like this, you see. Due to the fact that Mito and Menma both harbor the chakra of the Kyuubi, their parent's focus mainly on their training, so they would not go out of control, and focused a little less on Naruto. It's not as if they out right neglect him, it's just…he has no damn talent to be a ninja, no tact, and he holds the delicate weapon of a shinobi so…awkwardly, as if it wasn't natural to him…
Naruto is an amazing fighter, and his physical strength and stamina is insane, physically stronger than both Mito and Menma combine! However, he has a…berserker type of fighting style, something more savage than elegant than fighting style that is befitting of a shinobi. While Mito respect his strengths and is jealous of his innate abilities, he just has no talent for the other aspects of being a shinobi, which is tact. Due to that, their parents focus mostly on her and her younger brother. It's a bit unfair, but that's how it is, he could barely throw a kunai straight, sure it has a lot of power and can bury the kunai into a whole tree but what's the use of that if he misses the target? His Taijutsu is full of openings and just clumsy, there is almost nothing elegant about his style, the basic elegance a shinobi should have. Sometimes She wonders if he would pass the Genin test at all tomorrow! Mito musing was cut short due to Naruto's inquiry,
"So, why are you up?" Naruto asked as he leaned against the fridge's door, his arm crossed, Mito eyes looked upwards at him, caught a bit off guard at the question, she would shake her head,
"Oh, oh i-it just that that, I'm anxious about the test tomorrow, I was wondering if I failed, I don't want to be held back from my friends…"
Naruto raised his eyebrow's at this, here's the prodigal daughter of Minato Namikaze confessing that she is nervous about a Genin exam, Naruto nearly scoffed at this, while he can best her in just brute force, it's the tricks she and Menma pull that always leaves him at a disadvantage, he would roll his eyes.
"Please, your being trained by the fourth Hokage himself, and his wife, they're our parents for goodness' sake, if you fail this exam, I'm not forgiving you, our parents invested too much time into you and Menma just for you to fail."
Mito would look downwards contemplating about his words, he's right, their parents are famous and extremely talented, they're known throughout the land! HER DAD'S THE HOKAGE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD, she sighed feeling silly of herself, she'd smile as she lifted her head towards her older brother who was watching her with a raised eyebrow,
"Yeah, you're right…I needed to hear that, and don't worry, I wont let you down…"
With that she turned around to head back to bed, smiling in determination with fire in her eyes, who knew Naruto could be a big brother when he wanted to?

Konoha Ninja Academy
The appointed day was here, where boys will become men, and where girls will become women, brotherhood and sisterhood are formed, beginning of flourishing rivalries, aspiring shinobi of class 4, under the supervision of Iruka Umino, and Mizuki. Iruka Umino is a brown hair tanned skinned male, with a scar over his nose and his brown hair tied in a ponytail, he is a friendly individual who loved his job of preparing the children to become valiant shinobi of the leaf. Mizuki however is a pale skin man with silver hair, he has a friendly smile however his eyes seem to tell a different story. This class in particular is a special class seeing as it houses the future clan heirs/heiress of the Leaf village's prominent clans, ranging from the Inuzuka, Akamichi, the Uzumaki clan, Nara, Uchiha, Yamanaka, Aburama and the Hyuga clan. The future of the village is in the hands of the one Iruka, and these past four years was a complete honor to him, pride swells his heart as he saw all the children grew to fine shinobi's and now it's time for them to leave the nest and venture out to the real world.
Stepping forward, Iruka with the biggest grin plastered on his face, his eyes scanning over the children one more time,
"Alright Kid's let the test begin!" He announced which followed by cheering. The first portion was the written portion of the test, as Naruto received his test sheet, he began right away. Ten minutes into the test itself, he would start to feel the humming on his chest, his left hand grasped his shirt, as he tried to take his mind of the odd sensation and in a way try to muffle the sound, his blue eyes would lift off the test paper to look around in order to see if anybody heard it, yet it seems as if they heard nothing. Naruto inhaled as he focused back on to the test, yet he could feel his heartbeat faster and faster, soon the Kanji words would morph and turned into weird symbols and scribbles. His eyes blinked to see if he was tripping but no the rune like literature, he would grasp his head as if he was in pain, the whites in his eyes slowly became red, his breathing erratic, his heartbeat sounding like war drums, like literal war drums, voices in a language he never heard, but sound so…familiar whispered in his mind, his blue eyes flickered around the room in a frantic wondering if anybody could hear this as well?
He felt a ruler tap him on his head, snapping him back to early making him realize he was burrowing his pencil into the paper, he would look up to see Mizuki with a "concerned" look on his face,
"Is everything okay Naruto?" He had asked, Naruto blinked for a second before dumbly nodding his head before returning to his page, effectively finishing the test. Mizuki stared at Naruto the whole time, unbeknownst to everyone else a devious smirk ran across his face as he collected Naruto test paper and discreetly removing the genjutsu off the sheet of paper.
Once everyone is finished with the written portion it was time for the Taijutsu, it was separated by male vs male, along with female vs female, which is kind of dumb truth be told seeing as Kunoichi also fight male shinobi, why the Academy doesn't cover that, Naruto may never know. He saw his sister her red hair tied in a ponytail like their mothers, she wore a black sleeveless turtleneck and knee length shorts, her calves were wrapped with bandages and she donned a blue sandal. Mito fought against the Hyuga heiress and won, and showed good sportsman ship towards her, yeah that's about right, she is the golden child. Then Sasuke against Kiba, both respected heirs to their clans, however their arrogance rivals that of Menma. Kiba is a formidable fighter, with speed and strength along with the canine like ferocity that made his clan so renown and feared.
However, Sasuke's technique was superior, moving on the defensive, allowed the Inuzuka to tire himself out before finishing him off with a clean counter the second Kiba's strikes became sloppy, downing the youth. The Nara gave up instantly, seeing as it would become too much of a drag, the Akimichi sat on his opponent, the Yamanaka heiress fought against her pink hair rival and won, and the Aburame's opponent instantly gave up because he did not want to touch the creepy bug dude. Soon it was Naruto's and Menma's turn. Menma has always have that overconfident grin on his face, Menma is donned in a white unzipped jacket with red stripes on each sleave, and a long sleave iron meshed shirt underneath with black pants and bandages wrapped around the right leg, with Naruto wearing a black T-shirt with the will of fire symbol on the center, green baggy shorts with bandages on his left shin. While Menma acknowledges his brother's strength, that won't mean nothing if he's faster!
Iruka would look at the two siblings and nodded, his hand raised before chopping downwards in the space between them.
"Begin…"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"Begin…"
Menma became a blur, showing that he is the son of the yellow flash, one second he was standing in his initial position in a ready stance, the next he was already finishing landing his first blow on Naruto, an arrogant look on his face as Naruto allowed his head to turn to disperse the blunt of the force. Naruto's blue eyes looked down on his brother seeing that irritating smile of his,
"Please…"
He would move to grab the wrist but Menma was already on the move pivoting, in order to escape his brother's grasp performing a back hand swing which connected brutally, these two hits would be overwhelming to regular children, but we all knew that Naruto is far from ordinary. Naruto would move to swipe for Menma once again, but the youngest Uzumaki sibling was dancing around the eldest, throwing kicks to the back of his knees, elbows punches, with the way he's fighting, you'd never think that they were brothers.
"Come on dumbass, is this all you got, no wonder Mom and Dad are always disappointed in you."
A hit connected, Naruto head leaned back, his eyes widened as his mind flashed to a war, men born from steel and fire, before he was snapped back to reality.
"Loser,"
Another hit connected, blood on axes, swords cleaving through flesh, men with beards roaring
"Just another idiot like the others in this class with nothing but retard strength!"
Menma would then throw an elbow to Naruto's face, striking him, drawing blood, seeing this Iruka was about to step in however Mizuki held him back, Iruka looked at his partner and his long time friend with a WTF are you doing look,
"What are you doing Mizuki?"
"Hold on, I want to see where this is going…" he replied, watching the fight intently
Menma would throw a swift kick to the temple of his brother's head thinking this is the end, however the hummin on his chest returned, the beat of the wardrum rang through his ears, the foreign language are now roaring in his head screaming a name, a name that sounded so…familiar.
"Odin…" "Odin…" "
Naruto gasped, he realized he was about to fall due to the kick delivered by his brother, Menma frowned,
"Persistent bastard!"
Naruto's head is tilted forward before he would turn his head towards the right, baiting an exposed cheek for Menma to strike, and the youngest sibling arrogantly he took it, as soon as he felt the impact, Menma would feel a tight grip on his wrist, his purple eyes widened as he looked into his brother's annoyed blue.
"Shit.." He thought before he felt something drove into his stomach, his jaw slacked due to the pain, he doubled over however as soon as his head was bowed a knee flew upward to his nose, blood spurted out, and Menma started to see doubles with his free hand, Naruto grasped a lock of his brother hair crained his head back and headbutted into his brother's already broken nose, sending a fresh wave of pain through the youth's body, Naruto roared in his brother's face, sending fear not only in Menma but to those who witnessed the brutal display.
"Naruto that's enough!" Iruka yelled out however Naruto could not hear, all he could hear was roars and bashing of shields, the clanking of Iron, and the roaring of the foreign language screaming in his head.
"NARUTO!"
Naruto growled as he gripped his brother's wrist even more tightly his eyes blanked, his face sneered into a vicious look and once Iruka move to stop the match with the strength no twelve-year-old should have drown him to the side like a rag doll out of the ring and into the crowd of shocked children, Naruto walked towards him his fist balled as he stood over his brother's writhing form, he reel his fist back however both Mizuki and Iruka held him back,
"NARUTO! CUT IT OUT!"
"THAT'S ENOUGH UZUMAKI!"
CAW CAWW
Upon the sound of a raven Naruto snapped back to reality, he noticed his brother holding his bloody and broken nose, and the two Chunin holding back one arm, he would turn towards his classmates who all stared at Naruto slacked Jaw, this was suppose to be a friendly spar…it wasn't suppose to reach to that extent, Sasuke looked towards Menma form and back to Naruto, just what is wrong with him? Iruka angrily turned to Mizuki,
"Why did you stop me?" He hissed, referring to when the first blood was drawn, "A spar between comrades should never be so..so..brutal…"
"Come on Iruka, we both know that we shouldn't stop a spar because of a little blood, as long as they don't kill each other it's all good, you coddle them too much…Class 4 it's time for our final segment!" Mizuki announced leaving a fuming Iruka behind who turned to check on the youngest son of their fourth Hokage, he would look at Naruto who stood there gob smacked, and behind the brother's sister who rushed to see her injured brother.
"Naruto! What the hell's wrong with you, that wasn't necessary!" She yelled at him, "He's our brother for fucks sake!"
Mito would feel a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Iruka, her eyebrows furrowed as she balled her fist in anger before storming off to rejoin with the class…
"Iruka sensei…I-"
But before he could finish Iruka cut him off in a disappointed tone as he scooped up the boy to send him to the medical ninja stationed at the Academy,
"Just go Naruto, I'm extremely disappointed.."
Naruto would take a step back before walking back to rejoin the class,
Just what is happening to me?
