I don't know what to say really but this is my first story I am creating. I'm trying to start writing so I can practice my story telling for when I become a game developer so I thought why not start doing it with something I know a lot about. I will respond any questions regarding the story. This chapter is very standard since everything so far is almost identical to the original Anime/Manga but a tad bit different. Just a little bit.
I already know the plot on the top of my head so expect new chapters ASAP every time a new one comes out for this one-Shot.
All rights of the characters and etc belong to Kishimoto.
I do not own anything and will not profit from this project.
This story is for entertainment purposes only and fun.
Chapter 0: The Prologue
Two scrolls are shown on the mysterious table before you.
One of these scrolls shows a story of a boy, who proved that no matter what happens, a shinobi would have no excuse to break their promises and run away from their dreams.
The other scroll shows the proper successor of the same boy who protected those who were dear to him and showed that even in times of distress all shinobi would stand tall and proud.
These scrolls of the two heroes mentioned before you went through great lengths to keep the shinobi world at peace and balance. For many years the actions of the two inspired many people around them.
However, stories like these eventually come to an end at some point in time. The story of the boy who fought his way up to the top has been fulfilled and nothing more could be introduced.
Though there is one more story that has yet to be told. A fresh new world where it is similar to the stories mentioned. A world where not only there would be shinobi but more different unique people of many different backgrounds and new places to be discovered.
Would you be interested in being the first one to witness this story?
Yes? Then let us start a journey about a similar lonely boy who at first didn't have a care in the world as other people do but with the gifts, he was given soon realizes that there are always important people worth fighting for.
October 10th, Year ?, 12: 42 AM
It was a peaceful night. The streets of Konoha were filled with the village people hustling and bustling through the last moments of their daily business. "Kakashi! Battle me in a fight of true rivals!" Yelled might guy white getting attention from other surrounding villagers on the street. "Jeez, guy...why not just a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors?" Said Kakashi. "NO! Not that again! Can't you think of something more exciting!? How can I call you my rival?" said Might guy. " Look...I never said I wouldn't be part of it, you already know that I will... just not tonight. We'll do an early session tomorrow morning." Said Kakashi. Though Might Guy was disappointed both Kakashi and guy are seen walking down the street soon to be unseen from a distance.
While all seemed at peace for the time being some unknown figure appeared someplace else in the village and unleashes an attack no one had attempted since the reign of the first Hokage.
SUMMONING JUTSU
Suddenly a gigantic thud came from the distance scaring all of the villagers near and far from the large sound.
AND EVENTUALLY, A NINE TAILED FOX APPEARS.
As the thick air of dust began the uncover what caused the outbreak the creature known as the Nine-tailed fox stretches it's tails and begins to roar dangerously getting attention from all of the people in the village.
"It can't be. That damn nine tails! COME ON I'LL BE YOUR OPPONENT!" Said Might guy yelling towards the direction of the tailed beast till suddenly a group of Konoha elite jounin appeared right in front of them. " Halt! Do not engage!" Said Isao Hadeki who was a pretty known shinobi within the ranks of the village. " But why?" Replied Guy. "Third Hokage's orders. You must follow me and the rest of the younger shinobi to evacuate the village along with the rest of the villagers immediately." Responded Hadeki. Both Kakashi and Guy were surprised by the response.
During the rampage, many citizens were immediately guided to the multiple safe rooms that were located inside of the walls of the Hokage monument. While that was happening many older ninjas were doing their best into distracting the nine tails from causing more destruction to the buildings and homes that were once standing proudly in the village. Meanwhile...
- Hokage tower -
A female Anbu ninja appeared inside the room her leader was to report what was happening outside. "Lord third! The Nine Tails has appeared in the village!" Said the female Anbu ninja kneeling towards the third Hokage who was getting ready to battle with his signature ninja outfit. " Yes, I am aware of that. Make sure none of the villagers are harmed and evacuate both the younger shinobi and the villagers out of Konoha. The people and the next generation is our only hope in this time of need and make sure that the rest will take care of the Kyuubi." ordered the Third Hokage. " YES, SIR!" The female Anbu ninja obeyed. The Third Hokage put on his helmet and prepared to help in stopping the Nine-Tailed Fox. " What or whoever caused this...Minato please be careful…"
OCTOBER 11th, Year ?, 1:59 AM
- Somewhere in the outskirt fields outside the walls of the village -
RASENGAN!
The hooded figure that unleashed the nine tails attack was successfully subdued due to the Fourth Hokage's flying thunder god technique and the Rasengan. " Who are you? What do you want with my village?" yelled Minato, the fourth Hokage in a distasteful way.
"Leave it to you...the YELLOW FLASH to protect those who worship him but how can you protect your village when you couldn't protect your wife and almost slipped your hands from the next one. In my opinion, you are nothing like what my people say or fear about you." Yelled the hooded figure. The hooded figure was wearing a black and brown cloak with a design on the back that had what appeared to be seven rings that were formed in a circle connecting each other with faint rainbow-like colors on each of the rings with a character or letter unknown to what normal people would understand. " I asked you a question. Who are you? The powers you possess don't look anything like what a normal shinobi would use..and a rogue one at that." Minato replied. For a moment the hooded figure said nothing in response to what his enemy was saying. "Just tell me this. By any small chance are you...Madara Uchiha?" Asked Minato. The hooded figure struggled to get out of Minato's lock after being hit by a powerful and unexpected attack. "Doesn't matter. Cough* and If my history on you ninja is correct. Madara Uchiha ceased to exist long ago. We were hoping one of your own would take down this village themselves but here I am…" said the mysterious man with the cloak.
"What do you mean by WE who are you!?" Questioned Minato.
The hooded figure rhetorically replied "Someone from outside this wasteland. Someone that is not part of this silly act known as shinobi. Minato while not having any of the nonsense that he is receiving from the mysterious figure decided to pull out the mask that covers his face and was soon blinded from the white light emitting from the figure's face and soon its whole body. "I think you had enough information one day but since you are going to be dead within this hour I could tell you one thing." The figure said.
" I..I..can't see," Minato said while beginning to cover most of his eyesight."Our people are coming for you and the shinobi world Minato Namikaze. We will destroy all of the leaders that infect this land and one day we will return. We will return to destroy everything and everyone that lives in this giant island. Might as well say goodbye to your son while you can.
Minato's thoughts* What did he mean by that?
The body that Minato had his hands on was soon dispersed into small light particles that floated in the air until it became unsolid and turned to thin air. The Hooded figure's last moments of its voice echoes loudly throughout the field. "Because it's going to be too bad that you are not going to be there for him when he grows up just to be hated by the same ones that prayed for you. He will understand it, soon enough." There was a pause after what it said. " Shinobi or not...hate is eternal…" The hooded figure had said before disappearing into nothingness. Minato looked up to the sky not understanding what the person said but moves on to stop the tailed beast as the Hokage.
OCTOBER 11th, Year ?, 2:28 AM
"Minato don't!"Yelled Kushina Uzumaki. " Let's believe in him," Minato said sincerely.
REAPER DEATH SEAL!
Minato looks back and smiles and looks back at his wife. " He's our son after all." Fourth Hokage...Stop this right now! I will not be sealed into that pathetic human child. The Nine Tails yelled. " You will not!" While Minato took in half of the chakra from the nine tails it attempts to kill off the child on the pedestal with its only free hand as a last resort. But it fails due to both Minato and Kushina going first into penetrating themselves through the Kyuubi's claw merely centimeters away from the child. "This is the first time I lost an argument. I underestimated your motives to do this." said Kushina.
"Thank you Kushina," replied Minato.
Summoning Jutsu!
Poof!
"The Nine Tails! Lord Fourth! What is the meaning of this!" Screamed Gerotora. The toad was a scroll frog whose job is mainly taking seals and either sending it or keeping it as hidden.
" Geotora I'm going to give you the sealing formula's key for the nine tails. Please give it to Jiraiya and keep the Flying thunder god seal with the forbidden scrolls within the Hokage tower." Asked Minato tiredly. "Got it. I will confirm both the key with master Jiraiya and keep the other safe from the wrong hands. And now I'm off." Responded the green toad. "Kushina my time is about to run out. I'm going to do the eight signed seal. I already put some of our chakras into our son so it will be a while until we get to see him again. Let's tell him what we want to say." Minato said. " Son...Don't be picky Eat lots and grow strong, make sure you bathe and stay warm and don't stay up too late so you can get plenty of sleep and make friends...it doesn't have to be a lot just one is enough… I wasn't very good at it. Do well in school and practice your ninjutsu hard. Another is about respecting women. This world is made up of only men and women. So please don't get hooked on bad women. Find someone like me and beware of Jiraiya-sensei ya know. Please be true to yourself. Have a dream and find someone so you can have someone to fight for. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you...Minato, I'm sorry I took your most of your time." Kushina responded as tears were streaming down her cheeks due to the tragic moment. " It's okay. Son...my message to you. I guess it would be the same as your nagging mother." Said Minato as their final words to their child. Meanwhile outside the seal barrier. " Lord third! The sealing barrier is opening up! Exclaimed one of the Anbu within the group. Hiruzen stood there without a word after hearing all that both Minato and Kushina had said to their son in their final seconds of life. This event in time would be written as one of the worst tragedies of Konoha Village. The lives of the Fourth Hokage and his wife ending in such a short amount of time on the earth.
Eight signed seal.
Soon after the Kyuubi was transported into Naruto all Anbu and the third Hokage rushed to Minato and Kushina's lifeless bodies unable to do anything to save them. " Kushina, respond! What is the child's name?" Hiruzen asked desperately. " His name is...Naruto please watch over him. Replied Kushina. The Third Hokage responded "Naruto you say? Alright, but we need to bring you back to the villa…" Kushina never responded as her dead body went out heavy and cold. "LORD FOURTH!" Yelled the Anbu ninja hoping for him to be alive. The Third Hokage said "It seems that we are too late. Hurry. Collect the bodies and prepare for the funeral service I will bring the boy to proper care in the village. Oh and one more thing…" The Anbu ninja turned to the Third Hokage for a brief moment. " For the sake of both the child's parents, nobody and I means nobody that witnessed this incident here tonight will tell a word to any other ninja or person for that matter on the identity of the jinchuriki. I will be changing the last name to his mother's last name Uzumaki rather than his fathers for the safety of this boy's life." Ordered The Third Hokage to his troops. "Yes, sir! The Anbu obeyed and started carrying Minato's and Kushina's dead bodies. "Move out!" Said The Third Hokage as his last words
October 11th, Year ?, 2:56 AM
- Moments later on a cliff high above what would be an abnormal view of Konoha village. -
The third Hokage walks towards the edge of the cliff while holding the newborn baby that would soon be a proud future ninja and a citizen of Konoha village. " Looks like you will be stuck with the others below. Isn't that right…" Said The Third Hokage while not trying to wake the child in his hands.
Naruto?
- Meanwhile -
"What do you mean we can't go and fight? Dad! We are ninja!" Exclaimed Kurenai Yuhi wearing her signature bandaged outfit with a grey color scheme. The rest of the younger ninja were placed in a secluded part of the outskirts of the village that was on the opposite side from the wreckage that was the village but close to the side of the Hokage monument. " It is not up to you. The third Hokage ordered me to take care of your kids from getting hurt. We already lost more than half of our elite Anbu, chunin, and jounin do you think that it's smart to let my daughter get caught in the crossfire, let alone getting killed? I'm going to be going with your mother to fight alongside the other ninja. You kids are the next generation to keep the village in check! Older ones like me have already met their mark and are willing to give their lives away so you can have a chance." Responded Isao Hadeki who is revealed to be Kurenai's father.
Kurenai didn't have anything to say after her father's response.
Might Guy was also furious with the answer and was about to retort.
"I'm going to be leaving now. From now on it's up to you to lead the next generation." Said the jounin. However, another Jounin ninja who was a woman with black hair and glasses came out of the smoke for a question. "Are all of the young ones present? Asked the random Jounin. "Let me check the list." Said Hadeki but made a worried face soon checking. " Where is that idiot? I know he takes his time seriously but at a time like this?" Kakashi said to himself. "No, it seems that we are missing two?" Said Hadeki surprisingly. "Okay, I will go look for them right no….." Said the Jounin ninja but was interrupted. "WE'RE RIGHT HERE!" " WE FINALLY MADE IT." Yelled the two in unison getting everyone's attention. Everyone in the group especially the two jounin looked at the direction where the voices were heard from and began to feel relief. Kakashi responded with "Finally you two made it. Everyone was getting worried about you two…"
Rin and Obito.
