'Naruto' Normal thought
"Rasengan" Jutsu/Seal
Konoha
In the street
Naruto Uzumaki is slowly walking on his way to Uchiha district. As he walked, he noticed the people still glared at him with disdain. He looked at some of them and noticed that some of Uchihas also glared at him. Naruto turned his head away from them and continued to walk to his destination. It's such an irony that he was the one that saved them yet they still hate him with all their might. But that didn't matter at all to him. What is matter is that he prevent the tragedy from happen and now his brothers didn't need to suffer.
Naruto knew that tonight Itachi will go to the patrol with his ANBU squad, from the seal that still stuck on his body. Naruto just wanted to make sure that Itachi will be away long enough for him to act. Also he wants to spar with Sasuke to see his improvement.
Thanks to Itachi, Naruto knows all the strong and weak points of security in Konoha. That's why he will wait for the right moment to strike tonight.
Uchiha Compound.
Naruto walked to the back of the house and saw Sasuke is practicing Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu. Though from the result he was not very satisfied. Naruto walked in the garden and said.
"Hello, Sasuke! I see you are still practicing with that jutsu"
Sasuke hearing Naruto's voice turned around and said.
"Oh, Naruto, you are just on time. Can you explain me what I did wrong? I tried many times and still didn't to perform properly. My father is not very pleased with that"
Naruto walked closer to Sasuke and said.
"The problem is just that you didn't put enough chakra into your technique to perform it properly. Also when you released the fireball from your mouth released all the chakra that you stored in your mouth. Don't hold back. You failed, because you continued to hold back some chakra in the mouth on reflex. Just try to release all the chakra that you stored at once"
Sasuke think a little and nodded at his explanation. Then he began to make hand signs slowly.
"Tora, Hitsuji, Saru, I, Uma, Tora..."
Then he concentrated chakra in his mouth and inhale.
"Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu"
Sasuke did as Naruto told and released all his charka that stored in his mouth at once. The result was a huge fire ball released from Sasuke's mouth.
Naruto looked at the result and smirked pleasingly. Sasuke looked wide eyes at the result of his performance and shouted.
"Yatta! I've done it! I've done it"
Then he turned to Naruto and said.
"Thank you so much Naruto. I never knew you are such a good teacher, even better than Itachi, all he did was just tapped my forehead with his two fingers and said 'Sorry, Sasuke. Let's do it next time'. But now that I knew you are such a good teacher I don't need him anymore"
Naruto scratched his head and looked at Sasuke than said.
"You give my too much credit, Sasuke. There are tons of other good people in the village. You could learn from them as well, you know"
Sasuke shook his head and said.
"Itachi said that your potential will overcome him in time. He said that you will be stronger than he is now by the time you reach thirteen. Also he said if I wanted to aim higher then I should aimed to defeat you. If Itachi admitted that you will be stronger than him by the time you reach thirteen, than I don't need other teacher. You are a genius, which even has potential greater than the Uchiha heir. To learn from you is enough for me"
Naruto blinked in surprise and muttered.
"Never actually heard that Itachi admitted that I will grow stronger than him. But, that's an honour to be praise by one of the strongest shinobi in Konoha"
Sasuke then grinned and point at Naruto.
"So from now on we will train together, Naruto-sensei"
Naruto smirked at that and muttered
"Naruto-sensei, huh? But didn't you find that weird to learn from the person your age and also not even a shinobi"
"Who cares? You are not a shinobi now, just because you didn't wanted to be now. You could skipped class and graduate already. Though I didn't know why you still not do that" said Sasuke and looked Naruto blinking curiously.
"Like Shikamaru always said. It's just too troublesome to graduate early" answered Naruto.
Sasuke hearing that sweat drop. That moment Itachi decided to appear.
"Oh, Naruto-kun, you are here to train with Sasuke?"
"Yeah, I wanted to see his progress then noticed he has some difficulty with a Katon jutsu and decided to show some tips. Didn't you need to patrol outside the village, ANBU taicho-san?" answered Naruto then said teasingly.
"I will be out in a minute. Just decided to see Sasuke off before I go to patrol" answered Itachi. Then suddenly ANBU with an owl mask appeared and said.
"Taicho, it's time to go"
Itachi turned to Naruto and Sasuke then said.
"Alright, take care you two"
"Good luck, nii-san!"
"Be careful out there, Itachi"
Itachi nodded his head with that he and the ANBU disappeared.
Naruto then turned to Sasuke and said.
"It's time for me to return home as well. I have some business need to take care off. Till tomorrow, Sasuke"
"You already need to leave? I'd like to learn a new fire technique and for you to show me some tips as well" said Sasuke disappointed.
Naruto smiled and said.
"Don't worry, I will come tomorrow and we will work on that"
"Ok, then. Be careful" said Sasuke waving his hand.
Naruto walked away and also waved his hand from the back.
Hokage's office
Danzou walked in the Hokage office and said.
"It seems the matter with Uchiha has indeed cleared. Now I am concerned for the Kyuubi jinchuuriki. I had my ROOT ANBU spied on him and noticed that he was so far more powerful than children his age. Do you really think that a child could obtain such power in a short amount of time, Hiruzen?"
Hiruzen looked at Danzou and retort.
"Again with Naruto-kun huh? I told you before he is innocent. You know yourself that Naruto is far developed than the children his age. This matter we already discussed, Danzou"
"But, how do you explain his recent skills. My ANBU reported that he even could hold his on against Itachi, despite tha was not a real fight, but a spar" replied Danzou
"Maybe Itachi-kun or even Fugaku-kun decided to train him. Let's end this talk already, Danzou. I am very tired right now and still need to finish this stack of paperworks" said Hiruzen and wiping his tears away.
Danzou gritted his teeth in frustration at Hiruzen's ignorance and stomp out of the office.
The night of supposed Uchiha massacre.
The full moon was shining brightly tonight. Standing on the post at the background of the moon was a figure in long jet-black cloak with a hood. On his face was a fox mask with three eyes. The wind is blowing dramatically flapping his cloak. The mask figure looked at the direction of the ANBU HQ and said.
"Let's start"
With that he made a sign of molding chakra and said.
"Jutsu-shiki kaiho(Release formula of the jutsu)
The boulder, where the kanji for 'giant' were located suddenly glowed and a puff of smoke appeared there. When the smoke was cleared there was a huge seal with an Uzumaki symbol in the centre.
The figure makes a Hitsuji hand sign and continued.
"Uzumaki Fuuinjutsu: Godai Genso no Kyojin(Uzumaki sealing art: Five Elemental Giants)"
From the Uzumaki symbol on the boulder five beam were shoot from it. Each headed to different direction. One hit the forest and began to transforming to a huge wood giant. One hit the lake and transform to a water giant. One hit the bonfire and out from it the fire giant began to appear. One hit the the sword at the weapon shop and began to absorb the other weapons of the shop and transforming into a steel giant. One last just absorb the rocks near the boulder and transforms to a rock golem.
The figure looked at the chaos that just about to begin as he saw the people on the street began to panicking and running away. Then he jumped from roof tops to roof tops and heading to the direction of ANBU HQ.
Hokage's office
Hiruzen is sighing loudly and looking at the stack of paper work. Suddenly ANBU with hawk mask appeared in kneeling position and report in hurriedly.
"Hokage-sama? We are under attack! There are five huge giants of fire, water, wood, steel and rock, destroying everything in their path"
Hiruzen heard that widen his eyes and turned to an ANBU and asked.
"When did it happen? Call all the ANBU and jounins, chuunins to stop them"
"Hai" said the ANBU and disappeared.
Hiruzen began to think what is going on here. Why did the security seal not work
when the enemy appeared? And the most important question is who dare to attack them now, with the Uchiha not extinct.
ANBU HQ
The figure land on the roof of the ANBU HQ and heard the sound of alarm turned on.
The ANBU fighters hearing the sound of alarm picked up their gears and prepared to neutralize the unknown enemy. Hatake KaKashi and Kinoe were out of the ANBU HQ first and now heading to intercept the flame giant that was crushing and burning some house.
The mask figure decided to act that moment and appeared in front of the ANBU fighters.
One ANBU saw a stranger appeared in their HQ and asked.
"Hey! Who are you? You should not be here"
The mask figure ignored his question and slammed his palm to the ground and said.
"Fuuinjutsu: Tsuchigumo no Kekkai(Sealing Art: The Barrier of Earth Spider)
Suddenly a dome appeared around ANBU HQ and a web-like lines appeared on the ground. The ANBU fighters tried to move, but they couldn't, some tried to used chakra but its no use as well.
"It's pointless within this barrier you guys won't be able to move and all the chakra released by you guys will be absorbed by the barrier" said the mask figure then he began to approach them.
One ANBU asked fearfully looking at the approaching mask figure.
"W-who are you? Why did you target us?"
The mask figure didn't answered just rushed forward to take out a ninjato from one of the ANBU and charge at them.
With Kakashi and Kinoe.
Kakashi and Kinoe are fighting the flame giant. Kakashi tried to use Raikiri( Lightning Blade) to cut the flame giant in half, but it just regenerate back. Then Kinoe decided to use Suiton: Hahonryū(Water Style: Tearing Torrent) to extinguish it, but the flame giant managed to dodge the torrent.
The flame giant then opened his mouth and breath fire at then caused then to jump back behind a tree to avoid the breath.
"Senpai, its really strange except our squad and Itachi's squad, that on patrol no squad has appeared to assist us" said Kinoe looking at Kakashi.
"Yeah, I also feel something is not right here... There is a dome surround the ANBU HQ. Where the heck did it appeared from? We need to go back there to check it out" said Kakashi
Kinoe nodded his head and was about to jump to the direction of ANBU HQ, but suddenly the fire balls flew to them and didn't allowed them to move ahead.
"It seems we won't get there so easily" said Kakashi looking at the flame golem.
With the water golem.
The water golem is crushing the houses of the Hyuuga. The Hyuuga tried to neutralize it but it all proved fruitless, Hyuugas are the master of taijutsu, that concentrate on closing tenketsus of his or her opponent. But now all those skills are useless against the water giant.
"Hakke Kūshoū!( Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm)" shouted Hyuuga Hiashi, the leader of Hyuuga clan and shoot his technique at the water giant.
The water giant was hit by the technique to the head. The head was destroyed, but was quickly reformed.
Hiashi looked at the giant and felt annoyed.
"How many times can it regenerate?" wondered Hiashi.
Then he heard a shout from behind the giant.
"Doton: Doryū Taiga!( Earth Style: Earth Flowing River)"
Hiashi looked at the direction of the voice and saw Sarutobi Asuma, the son of Sandaime Hokage, was the one that assisting him.
The water giant was slammed by the mud river and and stepped back a little. Asuma began changed his hand signs.
"Doton: Doryuudan no jutsu(Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bullet)
The wave of the mud river began to transform to the dragon head and shot from its mouth three bullets towards the water giant.
The water giant slammed both his hand to the ground creating a water wall in front of him, protecting him from being hit.
Asuma landed next to Hiashi and asked.
"What the heck is that thing Hiashi-sama?"
Hiashi not taking his eyes from the giant answered the young Sarutobi.
"I don't know, but it's not a living being. Someone created it along with the other four to attack the village"
"Who would dare to do something like that? I saw the ANBU HQ was covered some kind of barrier, that won't let anyone in. Which means the culprit target is the ANBU HQ. These giants are only the distraction for him to achieve his goal" deduced Asuma looking at the direction of the ANBU HQ.
With a wood giant
The wood giant is destroying the place called the Forest of Death. The animals of the forest seeing the destruction decided to retreat deep in the forest to hide.
"Seneijashu! (Hidden Shadow Snake Hand)"
The figure on the branch of the biggest tree there said. The figure was Anko Mitatashi, the former student of the snake Sannin Orochimaru. She was betrayed by her sensei when he decided to experiment the curse seal on her body. In appearance, Anko is every attractive woman with gorgeous body. She has black hair with a tiny of blue. Her eyes are grey. She wears a brown cloak and a fishnet T-shirt and shorts. The dark orange skirt was over the shorts.
"I didn't know that there is an unknown guest in my playground. Who the heck send you here?" asked Anko.
The wood giant just roared loudly and rushed at her. Anko jumped up to dodge and also threw a kunai with exploding seal on it. The kunai stuck at the wood golem hand and exploded.
Anko landed to the ground and looked at the explosion.
"Did I get it?"
The wooden golem roared loudly, as it lost its hand. Then it began to absorb the trees at the Forest of Death and regenerate the lost hand.
"You've got to be kidding me" muttered Anko annoyed.
She took out more kunais and threw at the wooden giant and charged at it.
With the steel and rock giant
Both of the giants are crushing the ground while the villagers began panicking and run away as quick as they can. The steel giant slashed the house nearby him with his blade arms. While the rock giant causing a landslide with his hands crushing many houses.
"Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu"
Behind the steel giant a big fireball hit its back. The steel giant turned to the intruder and saw Uchiha Fugaku in front of him. Behind him was the other Uchihas from police force. They began to jump up and threw exploding kunais at the steel giant. The rock giant stepped in front of him and took the kunais. The kunais hits the target and explode. Though the rock giant just regenerate again.
"What the heck are those things? It just continued to regenerate!" said one of the Uchiha.
"To attack him is useless. We need to find the caster of the technique to stop them. Attacking those giants is useless" said Fugaku with Sharingan blazing in his eyes.
"But how?"
"We need to find a way to enter the barrier around the ANBU HQ or destroy it. I am sure that the caster is there" said Fugaku, looking at the direction of the ANBU HQ.
"Though I don't think these things will allow us to get there so easily"
Fugaku said and narrowed his eyes at the giants.
ANBU HQ
The mask figure is slashing at the ANBU fighters left and right. The body parts was seen lying around the headquarter. The mask figure is destroying the ANBU fighters one after the other. The whole room was paint in blood. No one, that was in the ANBU HQ was spared. The mask figure just stood in the middle of the blood stained room and looked it over. He deactivated the barrier and Shunshin away.
Outside
Suddenly all the giants are disappearing and the barrier around the ANBU HQ was also disappeared.
Kakashi and Kinoe hurriedly rushed towards the headquarter to check the situation. They didn't expect to see the horrible scene in front of them though.
"W-what had happen here? W-who could have done something like this?" wondered Kinoe in horror.
Kakashi went to check for survivors but found none.
"I have no idea. But judge from the barrier that was created, it was definitely a seal master. It's a relief that Itachi's squad was on the patrol. Counting us all there are about 70 ANBUs was left alive" said Kakashi griping his knuckle tightly.
"So from the beginning the giants were just a distraction for the enemy to infiltrate the ANBU HQ. Though who can it be and why target ANBU HQ?" asked Kinoe.
"It's obviously the enemy wanted to weaken Konoha for some kind of purpose. With the ANBU lessened, the target could be someone important in the village it could be Hokage-sama or even the elders. This enemy is not a fool, he or she counted everything in and planned very carefully" said Kakashi and narrowed his eyes under the mask.
"I think we should go to where Hokage-sama or the elders are. They could be targeted by the enemy right now" offered Kinoe.
Kakashi noises his head with that the disappeared in Shunshin.
House of the elder Homura
The mask figure landed to the roof top of the house and was about the proceed to enter the house. Suddenly a volley of shurikens flew at him, force him to jump back to the roof to dodge.
He turned his head to the direction where the shurikens were thrown and prepared for battle.
It was Kakashi and Kinoe. They looked at the mask figure and said.
"So it was you that massacred the ANBU HQ. Who are you? What is your reason for doing that?"
The figure turned to Kakashi and said.
"To be sure to eliminate the target successfully, need for the guards to be at their lowest"
Kakashi narrowed his eyes at that and said.
"So your targets are the elders. Why?"
"The elders and your Hokage did something unforgivable in the past. It's time they pay the consequence of their action. I will destroy them and all their followers. Konoha was corrupted to it's very roots. The Konoha, that you are seeing now is full of lies and sins." said the mask figure
Kakashi narrowed his eyes at each phrase.
"Hokage-sama and the elders did something unforgivable? What is that? What did you mean by Konoha is being corrupted? Who are you actually?" asked Kakashi tried to find out something.
"I won't answer that question. It's better for your Hokage to answer that question. Oh, and you can call me Uzumaki Arashi. Send Hokage this message for me: ' I will come for your life eventually. Today's incident is only the beginning. The sin of your past will haunt you constantly from now on. Konoha shinobis are a bunch of hypocrites and eventually they will receive a judgement'" said the figure and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Kakashi was about to chase him, but he already disappeared. Kinoe approached Kakashi and asked.
"What did he mean by all of that senpai?"
"I don't know, but he called himself Uzumaki, the same name as Naruto. He also said something happened in the past. Something Konoha did unforgivable in the past" said Kakashi and brought his knuckle to his chin in thought.
"I think we should report to Hokage-sama first" offered Kinoe.
"Yeah, you are right" agreed Kakashi and they began to move to the Hokage's tower.
Not far from Konoha
Itachi after receiving the news that the ANBU HQ suddenly under attack immediately heading back to the village with his squad. He wondered who could of target the ANBU HQ. The ANBU force of Konoha was the most fearsome of the five major villages. So for someone to target them, he or she needs to have extraordinary abilities.
"Itachi-taicho! I heard the ANBU HQ is under attack. Who could it be I wonder?" asked Uzuki Yuugao in a cat mask.
"I don't have a clue. Iwa won't be foolish enough to attack us, as like us they ate still recovering from the last war. Kumo was neutral to Konoha since the Second Shinibi War. Kiri is busy with their own civil war. Suna is having their own trouble in controlling their jinchuuriki. I can't deduce who could it be. That's why we are heading back to the village to find out. But I think by the time we arrived everything will already be over" said Itachi.
With that they speed up to the direction of Konoha.
Hokage's office
Hiruzen is looking through the window outside silently. Suddenly, he felt two presence appeared in his room and ordered.
"What is the situation? Report"
"Hai. There were five giants made of fire, water, wood, steel and rock appeared in the village. They were crushing everything in their way. But that was just the distraction for the enemy to achieve his goal..." report Kakashi.
"And what is his goal?" asked Hiruzen with narrowed eyes.
"At first we thought that his goal was the ANBU HQ, but it proved wrong. His actual goal is to eliminate you and the elders, Hokage-sama. But to weaken the security in Konoha, he had successfully massacred all the ANBU fighters in the HQ..." continued Kakashi clutching his knuckle at the memory.
Hiruzen gritted his teeth and said with suppressed anger.
"Is that so? No survivors left?"
Kakashi just shook his head solemnly.
"Did you managed to take a look at him though?" asked Hiruzen.
"Yeah, he had average body size, wore a jet-black clack with a hood. On his face was a fox mask with three eyes. Also he apparently is a seal master judging from the barrier he managed to create around ANBU HQ. The barrier was made so that you couldn't entered and all the chakra released were absorbed by the barrier" report Kakashi.
Hiruzen began to fall deep in thought. Kakashi decided to tell him about the encounter not long ago.
"I and Kinoe actually managed to encounter him, when he was about to eliminate elder Homura..."
Hiruzen listened intently after hearing that.
"Continue"
"Hai. I asked who he is and what is the reason of his action. He answered me, that he need to remove the guard before aiming for main targets. I asked why did he do that. And he answered me, that you and the elders did something unforgivable in the past. Then I managed to find out his name..." said Kakashi looking at his leader.
Hiruzen hearing the part of 'something unforgivable in the past' and widen his eyes slightly and said for Kakashi to continue.
"He said just called him Uzumaki Arashi. But that's weird, because I thought that the only Uzumaki left alive is Naruto. And this person proclaimed himself to be an Uzumaki. Then he said something about Konoha shinobis were a bunch of hypocrites and tell me to send you this message:
'I will eventually come for your life. Today's incident is only the beginning. The sin of your past will haunt you from now on'" report Kakashi.
"Uzumaki... Arashi?" repeated Hiruzen with narrowed eyes.
"Do you know that name, Hokage-sama?" asked Kinoe behind Kakashi.
"No, it's the first time I am hearing that name" answered Hiruzen.
"Hokage-sama, he said something Konoha did unforgivable in the past. Could you tell what is it?" asked Kakahi carefully.
Hiruzen sighed and shook his head.
"I am sorry, but I couldn't tell you or anyone else. It's the SSS-class secret between only me and the elders, as well as Danzou knows. I always regretted that decision, but I didn't have other choice. Konoha was on the verge of destruction at that time"
Kakashi looked down at the ground then looked back at his leader.
"If that so. I understand. I will go back to my duty right now, Hokage-sama"
"You two are dismissed" said Hiruzen and the two disappeared in Shunshin.
'The past sin is coming for my life now. I always knew that I will need to pay the consequence of that action. I am prepared to die, as I had lived enough already. I just wanted to know the face of that person and said how sorry I am. If Naruto-kun find our what I did to his clan in the past he will undoubtedly turned his back to Konoha. If that happened, Naruto may be out of control and even unleashed the Kyuubi in the process. No matter what happened Naruto-kun should never knew the truth'
In the head of Shodaime Hokage
. The mask figure raised his mask a little and began to drink the flask of water. Suddenly, he felt a presence appeared in the space and shouted out.
"Who is there?"
The space began to distort and a figure appeared. It was a figure that wearing the spiral mask. He has black long spiky hair with high collar shirt with an Uchiha clan symbol at that back.
"I surprised that instead of the Uchiha clan being massacred, the ANBU was. You are pretty capable if you managed to slaughter those ANBU and created such a barrier. I want for you to join my organization Akatsuki. What will you say?" said the spiral mask figure.
"First, I didn't actually know who are you. Second, I have my own goal that need to achieve. Third, I have no intension to join anyone" said the fox mask figure.
"Oh, is that so? That's a shame. But if you actually rethinking then come to the Valley of the End. I am Uchiha Madara. It's a good bye for now" said Madara and was sucked in the spiral mask of his.
"Uchiha... Madara?" repeated the fox figure and looked at the place where Madara just stood. The figure then disperses the transformation that was created by his transformation seal. When the smoke was cleared, it showed the seven year old figure of Naruto Uzumaki. Naruto took out the fox mask and revealed his face. He walked to the hole that were the eyes of the Shodai and looked at the village below, with Uzureigan spinning wildly on his right eye.
"Sooner or later I must reveal myself. All those bonds that I created will eventually be shattered. Eventually, I will be the one that will start the Fourth Shinobi War. Blood can only payback by blood" said Naruto looking down at the village of Konoha.
"With that I can avenge my clan. Uzumaki clan was a peaceful clan that never promoted war. Even so..."
Naruto clutched his knuckle tightly to the point of blood dripping.
"Even so they were betrayed by the most trusted ally nonetheless. I won't admit it. Uzumaki clan will never disappear. I will make sure of that. Jushiro-sama that Uzumaki clan members have a special connection with blood. I can find an Uzumaki, judging from the reaction of my blood.
Konoha will be first. Then Iwa, Kumo and Kiri, they will all feel the wrath of Uzumaki" said Naruto with his Uzureigan spinning wildly.
