Note: This is actually my first time making a Naruto Fanfic. So if I mess up, don't hate, just tell me what I messed up on.
Within a forest, rests a large village that stands tall, it seem rather old, but new as well. This is known as Konohagakura, the Village Hidden in Leaves.
And looking at it, you'd see people celebrating, this was the famed Kyuubi Festival, for the people to celebrate the Kyuubi no Kitsune's defeat, or to drink their sorrows away at the family and friends they lost nine years from that day.
However, unfortunately for one individual, the leader of the village, or Hokage as their referred to, was in a meeting with the other Kages, an attempt to make peace. That person who's unfortunate for the old man absence was currently running as fast as he can, ignore the pain in his legs. Behind him by a few blocks, was mob of people, civilian and shinobi alike.
He was in panic, not mind when he knocked people over. Before he hit someone and was bounced back. Looking up, he noticed a young adult who wore a cloak, which was white with blue flames-like object.
The person gave a perplexed look, "Why are you running kid... and why do you look like a Namikaze's mini-me?" His attention was drawn by the mob.
His questions went unanswered as they shoved him out of the way, closing all escape.
The young boy pleaded for them to stop, but they didn't care, lashing out and attacking, looking to torture him...
Or they thought that. The cloaked figure stared down from the roof with blatant disgust, next to him was the actual redhead. The people were locked in an illusion of attacking the wooden doll in similar body shape to the redhead.
The adult spoke, his voice signifying his gender, "So... let's talk somewhere less... intense... I'd like to know why they tried attacking you."
"A-alright..."
The cloaked figure and the blonde stood in a training field outside village.
Taking the boy's form, he blinked. The boy had messy red hair, his skin was icy pale, his body thin and seemingly frail. He wore an orange shirt with the Uzumaki crest on the front of it, he wore black shorts and by the outfit's quality, he was less than favorable, the clothes were a little tight. His face was adorned with three whiskers on each side, along with violet eyes.
The young boy was sat down across from the man, he had white hair, though outside of a few red strands, there was a slightest tint of pink, barely noticeable, he had an 'X' mark over his right eye, which seemed cloudy, his other was a vibrant red color.
He gave a curious glance at the moon, before asking, "Alright scrub, why were those people chasing you, did poss them off or something?"
The boy sighed, "I don't know, but they're always glaring at me and I don't know why. Do you?"
"Hm... reminds me slightly of Gaara and Fuu... hey kid, tell me a few thinks about yourself."
"Huh?"
"Who you are, your likes, dislikes, hobbies, dreams for the future."
"Wait, Wait, can't you go first, I don't even know you." Naruto called.
The adult blinked, "Oh? Well that's easy. My name is Uzumaki Aster. I like traveling, helping others in less favorable positions and caramel. I dislike family that alienates their own due to problems. My hobbies... do I have a hobby? Anyways, my dream for the future is to destroy a certain seal, and to marry the woman I love and have kiddos of my own. Your turn, Scrub."
The boy pouted, before greeting, "My name is Uzumaki Naruto! I like Hokage-Jiji, Teuchi-San and Ayame-chan, Iruka-sensei, and ramen. I dislike bullying, the five minutes I have to wait for the ramen to cool off. My hobbies are pranking everyone who disrespect me and my dream... my dream is to become the next Hokage, so everyone will have to acknowledge and respect me, Dattebayo!"
Looking to Aster, he noticed a now pale albino. Aster asked, "Scrub... what day were you born?"
"Oh that's easy, I was born on October tenth, the same day the Kyuubi attacked. Believe it."
Aster frowned, deep in thought, 'So... that's what you are... these people disgust me even more... and I need to help him get strong enough.'
"Aster-san?"
"Yeah? Sorry, I was thinking."
"Are you really related to me?"
Aster grinned genuinely, "In a way, yeah, the remnants of our clan need to stick together. You're in the ninja academy, right?"
Naruto nodded, excitement evident, "Alright! I'll show you my full strength, believe it!"
"Alright, focus, let's start off with basic ninjutsu, this is what you're learning, right?" Aster asked, a brow raised in curiosity.
"I guess..."
You guess...?" Aster's eyes narrowed, almost dangerously.
"Well, sometimes the teachers would kick me out for some reason." Sweat begun dotting Naruto's face.
The air was actually getting warmer, "So, when you're in class, what do you know?" His voice was tense, wavering almost.
"Well, it's bits and pieces, and no matter what I try, the teachers, apart from Iruka-sensei always fail me. Even when I try my hardest."
The air grew more intense, as his hands begun smoldering, his right eye was twitching as he asked, steam coming from his mouth, "Anything else...?" 'Before I let my anger billowing any further.'
Naruto stuttered, feeling the anger Aster was producing in waves of heat. He muttered, "W-well... no m-matter what I d-do... or any of the others... the clan members are ahead... but the teacher offer training to help me... but I can barely do anything to their Taijutsu..."
"...? A-Aster-San...?"
"WHAT?!"
Many people were doing their own things in the Kyuubi Festival, while three Anbu were searching for Naruto, Inu called, "Have any of you seen him at all after that Genjutsu was put down?"
Crow responded, "No, it's like the man took him away somewhere."
Neko huffed, "We need to find him, who knows what damage that figure could-!"
"WHAT?!"
That roar caused a chill to run up everyone's spine, as an explosion erupted in the eastern forest.
Placing a Genjutsu to stop chaos from occurring. The three Anbu rushed to that direction. All with one thought, 'Please be safe Naruto.'
His cloak was moved, revealing a standard Jonin outfit. The clump of trees, about a mile out, were completely incinerated. He let out wisps of flames as he started cooling off.
Naruto had stars in his eyes, "Wow! What was that?!"
Aster, recollections, explained, "My Chakra coils are pretty unstable, due to that, I have a dangerous amount of firepower, figuratively and literally. That was my chakra combined with Taijutsu, it can incinerate nearly anything. May not be a fancy as black fire, but it's something..." wincing slightly, he begun applying weird markings.
Naruto looked at it, strangely obsessed, "What's that?"
"It's a seal, developed to contain my chakra."
"Why?"
"I rather not explain why exactly, but my chakra acts so much like fire, if I keep it untamed, my body will destroy itself in the process. These seals are only removed in last resort-type cases."
"Wow..."
I'd call that wow, too. If you didn't destroy part of the forest." Came Inu as he jumped down.
"Sup, Scarecrow. How are things?"
"Pretty alright, more or less. I'd rather you not kidnap our objective."
Aster waved a hand, "Sorry for not telling you, I didn't realized practical child abuse was a good thing. If that school can't do what it's paid to do, I'll demolish it without a second glance. Sup, Neko. Crow."
The two gave silent nodded. Inu sighed, "Can we talk about this?"
Aster rolled his eyes, jabbing Naruto's pressure points, knocking him out. The living firework finally asked, "Okay, now convince me why I shouldn't smuggle him out of the village at this point. Because, if I'm honest, child abuse, neglect, unfairness and trickery in school, ostracizing... anymore and I'll turn everyone outside of the select few into ash."
Naruto jolted, looking around. "Where am I... did he dump me into a sewer?"
Walking through the knee deep water, he came up to a giant gate with paper marked with the word 'seal' was present.
"Why would a giant gate be here?" He asked, before he felt a dark presence.
"To keep me in here..." as two red eye bore through the gate, staring him, not entirely out of anger.
"Y-your... a giant cat..."
"Ye- what! No! I'm the legendary Kyuubi no Kitsune!" The Bijuu barked at him.
"Well, what are you doing in a sewer?"
"Because this is how empty your mind is."
"Hey, no joking! Where are we!"
"And I'm not joking either, we're in your mind."
"What? But how can you be here?!"
"Your father 'beat' me on your birthday by trapping half of me in you."
Naruto processed that, then he thought about it, 'Aster-san called me the Namikaze's mini-me... my father beat the Kyuubi... but wouldn't that mean...?!' "My father's the Yondaime Hokage!?"
"Yeah, he is, or rather, was your father."
"But why didn't anyone tell me?"
"Well first off, there's two, maybe three reasons... the first, your father basically destroyed Iwagakura and Kumogakure and their number one enemy. The second, most would believe a Jinchuriki to be related, despite two of my siblings being in a child or sibling of them."
"Well... what about-"
The Kyuubi cut him off, "No more questions. I'd like to enlighten you that even with you natural healing abilities from you father, you gained access my direct chakra affinity."
"Oh that sounds cool."
"H-hey, Kit...?"
"Yes, Kyuubi?"
"How would you feel if I taught how to utilize my abilities..."
Naruto eyes gleaned with excitement. "Inu-sama will be so shock."
"About that..."
"Huh?"
"My condition for training you is simple, do not tell ANYONE. There's no point in knowing what could happen to you if anyone finds out I'm communicating, the Uzumaki-brat has no issue with me, but you need to keep this a promise."
"But..." Naruto hesitated, asking, "Why are you helping me...?"
"To repay you, the incidences of that day were not a choice of my, and we both suffered the consequences of that day. I'm only half my full glory and strength."
"Alright, Kyuubi-sensei!"
That's when everything flickered, "Looks like your regaining consciousness, kit."
"Bye, Kyuubi-sensei!"
The Kitsune stared where Naruto once was, "I need him strong, if my theory of my Yang half is true..."
AN:
Again this is my first time writing a Naruto Fanfic, so creative criticism is alright.
Now Aster is an OC, he'll have his moments, but he took his mother's surname.
I believe the Yin half of Kurama's much more reasonable than the Yang half.
Inu is Kakashi just so you know, and the coup the Uchiha were planning doesn't happen.
For now, ja ne.
