"Run Naruto!" Kuruma yelled as his best friend and host was being chased by a mob. It was his sixth birthday and every year this happens. Kuruma was loyal to Uzumaki's, they never sought out power and were so peaceful. His host, Naruto, was the last of his clan and Kuruma would do anything to protect him. "Kit, I'm going to send some chakra through you, run out the gate, they won't chase you there."
"H-hai, Kuruma." Naruto replied and took off with enhanced speed, thanks to the fox's Chakra. Soon Naruto made it to the outer gate of the village and leapt over it. After that, he ran to a tree and jumped into it. The villagers were still behind the gate and started to cheer that the village was safe from the demon. Naruto relaxes on a branch. "Thank you, Kuruma."
The kyuubi nodded. "No problem kit, but I think you should leave the village. It's not safe here."
"But where should I go? And what about jiji, Ayame-chan and mister ramen guy?" Naruto asked. He loved those three, they cared for him the most and he didn't want to separate from them. What about Hebi-chan?"
Kuruma felt sad for his host but he knew Naruto wouldn't grow here. Humans can hold a grudge and he didn't want Naruto to become a hateful person like the Uchihas because of the village. The life of a jinchuriki. 'Wait, that's it!' "Kit, how would you like to make a lot of friends? My siblings are spread across the nation. One of them is where you should go."
"But what about food?"
"Kit, you are going to be a shinobi in the future. I'll teach you how to hunt, some chakra exercises, how to fight and a certain clone jutsu known by someone I once knew." Kuruma offered.
A week and a half passed since Naruto left konoha, he was standing at a sight of the biggest tree he had ever seen in his life and a waterfall to match the size. Naruto learned the 'shadow clone jutsu' but when he first used it, he produced sixty clones and suffered from chakra exhaustion, so Kuruma had to refill his reserves. Naruto was close to mastering tree climbing and he started hunting rabbits and squirrels. Kuruma also noticed when Naruto was hunting animals, he was sensing chakra around him and also life force. Kuruma knew how some Uzumaki's sensing ability and other possible bloodlines and abilities Naruto could possibly have in the future. The boy will surpass his ancestors, Kuruma will guarantee it. "Halt!"
Naruto turned a guard who came from behind a waterfall. "Kit, tell them your parents were killed by a nin and you're an orphan. If they ask what village, say you're from the wave."
"A kid? What are you doing here and where's your parents." the guard asked.
Naruto looked down in sadness and started to cry. "I don't have any parents, they died." The taki guard's heart broke. "I have nowhere to go, we were headed to konoha but we were attacked by a masked man and my parents told me to run. So I ended up here." The guard bent down and put a hand on his shoulder causing Naruto to flinch. "Please don't kill me." Naruto mumbled.
"I'm not going to kill you. Come with me and welcome to Taki." The guard instructed. Naruto nodded and followed. They went through the waterfall and Naruto was amazed. The guard chuckled. "What's your name kid?"
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto answered. "Taki? I thought we were heading to Kumo?'
"I think I made a wrong turn when we left wave." Kuruma said.
"Well Naruto-san, I hope you like our village but if you see a girl with mint colored hair, try to stay away from her. She's dangerous." Kurama's eyes what it sounded like, the guard talked, it sounded like how the adults talked about Naruto.
"Kit, ask him where the girl stay, to avoid her." Kurama ordered.
"Um, is there a certain area I should stay away from to avoid her?" Naruto asked.
"Well, since she was kicked out of the orphanage, she stays under the trunk of our center's huge tree. There's also a lake there." the guard answered. Naruto nodded.
"Kit, this girl might be a jinchuriki like you. If she's treated the same, my friend could be sealed inside." Kuruma asked.
The guard led them to Shibuki, the leader of Taki, mansion. "Shibuki-sama." the guard called knocking on the door.
"Come in." The guard led Naruto to Shibiki quarters, who was sitting behind a desk. There was a girl with mint hair standing next to him. The chunin guard looked at the girl and scolded a bit, and Naruto recognized the look all too well. He looked up at his guard and saw Naruto. "Who's this young man?"
The guard turned to his leader and bowed. "Hai, this is an orphan. His name is Naruto Uzumaki and his parents were killed by a man in a mask. I found him outside our village."
Shibuki nodded and waved off the guard to leave. "Hello, young man. How did you end up here? My name is Shibuki."
"Hi there, my name is Naruto and" Naruto gave the same story he gave the guards,causing Shibuki to frown.
"I'm sorry to hear that, you can stay here as long as you want." Shibuki said but noticed his attention was on Fu. Shibuki smiled. "Naruto-san, this is Fu."
Naruto approached the girl and stuck out his hand. "Hi, want to be friends?"
Fu opened her eyes in surprise then slowly looked down. "You don't want to be my friend, everyone thinks I'm a monster."
"But I don't care what everyone says." Fu snapped her head at Naruto. "I have no friends either and I think you are a regular girl who could use one."
"R-really? You'll be my friend?" Fu asked hopefully.
"Better, we'll be best friends, dattebayo." Naruto said with a foxy smile.
Fu's smile grew wide and shook Naruto's hand. "Hmm!" she responded but as soon as they touched, they were standing on water with a green surrounding. "Where are we?"
Naruto looked behind Fu and saw a cage. "You were right Kuruma."
Fu tilted her head until she noticed the cage behind her new friends. A red slit eye was seen behind the cage. "I see, good for you Naruto. I couldn't sense it behind the cage but I'm glad you found a friend."
Fu turned to Naruto with a shocked expression. "You're the same as me?"
"I guess so." Naruto responded, rubbing the back of his head.
"Wow, Kuruma? What are you doing here outside your domain?" Naruto looked through the cage behind Fu and heard a buzzing . Naruto was squinting his eyes and saw a beetle.
"Chomei-chan, who is this?" Fu asked.
"This is my friend. The kyuubi. Kuruma, you didn't answer my question. Not that I'm happy to see you."
"Listen up, I hate to tell you this but we were trying to go to kumo. I'm still glad to see you, I gave the kit the wrong directions." Kuruma said. Fu looked at Naruto and he nodded.
"Why are you trying to go to Kumo?" Chomei asked.
"Well, in the village the kit came from, he was treated like a plague. He was kicked out of the orphanage and was always attacked, no one would sell him food and he was ignored." Kuruma explained. Chomei looked at her host and thought about Fu. The same thing happened to her more or less. "During the last war Kushina and Minato encountered a Kumo jinchuuriki and from what I learn from his comrades they treated him like a Hero. They were calling him lord Bee. I was thinking the kit could go there and make friends."
"Can I go, I want to make more friends." Fu suddenly asked.
"It won't be easy, I don't think Shibuki will let you. Regardless of how much of a coward he is." Chomei said.
"Hmmm, I think we can use that." Kuruma said with a mischievous smirk. Naruto noticed and got excited.
"Are we going to play a prank? Naruto asked.
"Yes and a Great one."
Outer world.
Shibuki was looking at the two with a confused expression. They were quiet and staring at each other. "Are you ok?"
"Huh?" Naruto and Fu responded by looking around. "Nii-san, I have something to tell you."
"What is it Naruto?"
"You see, me and Fu are the same. And as we get older, the bijuu inside us will slowly take over and less we learn how to use their power." Shibuki started to panic. Kuruma smirked at the reaction. "I actually made a wrong turn, I was trying to go to Kumo. I think Fu should come with me."
Shibuki looked at Fu. "What do you want, Fu? Honestly I think you should go. You're treated wrong here and to be honest I'm sick of it. I never had the courage to do anything about it."
"It's ok, you tried your best. You were the only one who was nice to me but I think I should go." Fu said with a smile. Shibuki nodded but frowned.
"But how do we get you there?"
Naruto raised his hand and suggested what Kuruma told him to do.
In kumo, the raikage was sitting at his desk finishing the paperwork after the damage Yugao, the two tailed jinchuuriki caused. They sealed the bijuu into her and it took awhile to control. "Raikage-sama!" a chunin shouted. Running in the room.
"What is it?" A asked.
"We have a message from Taki to form an alliance."
"Really, what could they offer? Unless it's the hero's water, I don't care, not that we need it." A responded.
"It's better! They're offering the jinchuuriki's of the nanabi and kyuubi!" the Chunin Informed. A head shot up at the chunin shocked.
"Really, kumo will possess four jinchuuriki, we'll be the strongest in the nation. Call Bee, Mabui and Darui. We accept their proposal. To think we'll have two more jinchuuriki's."
A week later Bee arrived with Mabui and Darui. Bee led the group to Shibuki mansion where he was waiting with the two kids. Bee smiled and approached the three. "Yo, it's nice to meet fellow jinchuuriki, you can call me the master of rap, killer bee. You have to be with the groove and understand my rhyme, I'm eight, are you on board miss seven and ?"
Fu tilted her head. "You're weird."
Naruto laughed. "That was great, it's nice to meet you mr. eight."
Darui smiled. "The kid raps better than you, Bee-sama." Mabui( chunin.) looked at naruto and smirked. 'He's a cutie.'
"So did you bring the agreement scroll." Bee nodded and handed the taki leader a scroll. He nodded and gave Bee a scroll, confusing the jinchuuriki. "These are jutsu's fo Fu, they're water jutsu's for when she become a shinobi. Naruto can learn from them as well."
"Cool, I guess we'll hit the road. Seven, nine, it's time to go."
The two kids nod and both ran to Shibuki and gave him a hug. Shibuki smiled and returned. "Goodbye you two, become very strong and remember, you are not just jinchuuriki. Your Fu and Naruto."
"Thanks for having me, Nii-san." Naruto said.
"Thanks for looking after me, onii-chan." Fu said, both kids backing away. The group spoon left. Naruto was on Mabui's back and Fu on Darui's as they leapt through the trees. "So, Naruto-kun. My name is Mabui of the Thunder step. Do you have a last name?"
Naruto blushed at the suffix. "Yeah, Naruto Uzumaki."
Mabui's eyes widened. "You're from the Uzumaki clan. That's awesome, I heard about them. They were super strong and knew a lot about seals."
"Well, I'm not sure." "Yes you are, I'll tell you about them later. Your mother's name is Kushina Uzumaki." "Well, the kyuubi says I'm from the Uzumaki clan and my mother was Kushina Uzumaki."
"I've heard of her, she was beautiful as she was dangerous. She decimated over 300 ninja's for threatening her home. I wish I could've seen her." Mabui said in awe.
"Watching her fight was out of sight, even though I'm the best. She still put me to a test. It was luck that I survived, the hachibi kept me alive." Bee said.
"I have to admit, Uzumaki-san. Your mother was amazing, she wielded a sword with such grace, her mastery over water and fuinjutsu was powerful. She was a ss-rank shinobi." Darui said. Naruto smiled.
"I wish I met her even once. I'm an orphan but it's good to hear stories." Naruto said quietly. Mabui nodded as they headed to kumo.
Hiruzen was looking through his crystal ball for his surrogate grandson. It's been a few weeks since he last saw the blonde and he was worried. 'Where are you Naruto-kun? Please be alright.'
Inu, Weasel and Cat appeared in front of the leader kneeling. "Hokae-sama, I have some info." Cat said.
"Report!" Hiruzen ordered.
"Hai, it seems Naruto was kicked out of the orphanage three months ago and was living on the street."
Hiruzen seethed. "I was giving them money to take care of Naruto-kun and he hasn't been there! Anything else?"
"Hai, it seems like he might not be in the village. I sent my dogs to track him and they smelled his scent outside the gate. I assume he was chased out of the village." Inu said in anger. He felt like he had failed his sensei's son. He wasn't in the village and because of that, Naruto was gone.
Hiruzen sighed and stood up. "It's time the village knows what they did and who they did it too. I kept his heritage a secret and the village believed Minato transformed the fox inot Naruto. If I had informed them earlier, things might've been different. I'm going to make the announcement, gater the villagers in front of the tower.
After half an hour, the villagers gathered in front of the tower wondering what was going on, while some had a suspicion. Hiruzen on top of the tower with a grim expression. He gathered his wits before speaking. "Hello Konoha, I hid a secret from you about Naruto Uzumaki and now I regret to inform you he is gone. I'm not sure if he's alive or not but it doesn't matter now that he's not here now because of how this village treated him, he might not come back. Now some of you might be thinking, no one cares about the demon and we're safe but what you've done was committed an act worse than treason. I hid the identity of his parents and heritage from you thinking I would protect him from his parents' enemies until he was strong enough to defend himself but I failed. Have any of you wondered where a boy appeared out of nowhere to be sealed and why Minato chose him? And just in case you think Minato transformed the kyuubi into a boy, you're wrong. There's no jutsu that can force a transformation on another."
"Then where did he come from?" A civilian asked.
"You see, only a very few people knew this but Naruto was not the first kyuubi jinchuuriki in the leaf village, in fact he was the third. The kyuubi has been in our village for over a hundred years. The first was Mito Uzumaki-senju, the second was Kushina Uzumaki-Namikaze. You see, the uzumaki chakra consist of yin chakra that can neutralize any form of chakra it touches, that's why uzumaki's are the only ones who could handle the kyuubi massive chakra. Now you may be wondering, how did it escape? Well, you see, a female jinchuuriki seal weakens only one pacific time.. When she gave birth, to make sure the kyuubi wouldn't escape, Minato made sure the seal was stable when Kushina gave birth but something unfortunate happened. Someone found out about the secret and attacked Kushina and used her son as a hostage to get to her, ripping the kyuubi out of her and taking control of it." the civilian gasped.
"What happened next?" Tsume asked. She was best friends with Kushina and she was desperate to know what happened to her son, which was Tsume god-son.
"The intruder infiltrated the village and summoned the kyuubi within, so in retrospect, the kyuubi wasn't at fault for the attack either. Minato fought him but as strong as he was, there was no way he could beat a bijuu, bijuu are immortal and the only way was to seal it away, that's where Naruto came in, him being a Uzumaki was the only way to save the village, so Minato sealed him away in the boy, even though he didn't know about Uzumaki's being the only ones to handle the burden."
This caught everyone's attention. "If he didn't know, why did he seal it in Naruto?" a civilian asked. The civilians wonder the same thing.
"Well, what kind of hokage would he be if he used somebody else's son but his own…" Hiruzen said. Everyone's eyes widen and gasp. Some started to shout lies while others looked down in guilt. "I know some of you don't believe me but think about a couple things…1. Why would I lie about it now that he's gone? 2. Why did Naruto have blonde hair and blue eyes like Minato? 3. Why would he just hypnotize the shinobi and not the civilians if he was the kyuubi, after all, with his chakra, he could've killed everyone? 4. Why did he never respond to violence when attacked? If we were hypnotized, why didn't he command the shinobi to kill you civilians everytime you attacked him? 5. Why did he cry, why did he want friends? For six years he was here and we're still alive. And if you still don't believe me.." Hiruzen took out some documents and spread them across the village. There were multiple copies of Naruto's birth certificate and pictures of Minato and Kushina pregnant, holding a peace sign.
"T-this is h-her hand writing." Everyone turned their attention to Tsume. "It even confirms that me, and Mebuki is his godmother. He was their pup the whole time, I could've done…*sob..something. Why didn't you tell us?" Tsume said, breaking down in tears. Everyone was shocked, no one ever saw Tsume, the toughest woman in Konoha cry. "I'm sorry Kushina-chan." Tsume repeated , kneeling on the ground.
Hiruzen turned towards the village. "I kept Naruto's heritage a secret to prevent Iwa or Kumo getting to him. Iwa holds a grudge towards Minato because of what he did to them in the last war and Kumo attempted to kidnap Kushina to breed when she was a child. That's why I couldn't risk it and it was my mistake but not my only one. I shouldn't have released the boy status as a jinchuuriki and I shouldn't have been naive to trust the village. Because of your fear, there's a good chance he was taken by one of the other villages, Minato wanted his son to be seen as a hero and have a normal childhood. He never asks to be spoiled or anything. But your hatred and grudge blinded you."
"But we lost family that night, we were upset." a civilian said.
"I understand but so have I, my wife died giving birth to Naruto, Tsume-chan, lost some clan members and the worst of it, Naruto-kun lost his parents that night, his father sacrificed his life for the village and all he wanted was his son to be loved. Naruto had it worse than anyone in the village, what would Minato think if he was to find out about this, but he can't die. Minato's soul is trapped by the grim reaper for the price of using his power to seal the fox. You may believe what you want but that's the truth. You should also thank Naruto, if he gave into his negative thoughts or committed suicide, the fox would've escaped."
"We should look for him." a civilian yelled, more started to agree. Hiruzen was happy they realized their mistakes but he didn't think it would work.
"Then what? What if he doesn't want to come back? Remember, you overcharged him on everything, sold him rotten food, beaten him, kicked him out of places and attempted to kill him. He probably fears you as you feared him, what if he found a new home and doesn't want to come back?" Hiruzen said in a cold tone.
"We can try." Hiruzen turned to Tsume. "I'll do anything to find the pup, I never attacked him but I admit I never helped him, but I'll do everything in my power to find him and make it right."
The crowd agreed. Hiruzen shook his head. "I'll do everything in my power to find him but I can't do this alone. If he comes back, things will change. Agree?" Hiruzen asked
"Hai." the crowd said. Hiruzen gave a soft smile then frowned. 'Naruto-kun, I hope you're alright.'
'Oh my kami, Anko was right. And worst of all, Naruto was sensei's son?' a genjutsu mistress said. She remembered what she said to the blonde and was starting to feel guilty.
Bee and his group arrived in front of the raikage's door, bee knocked on the door and they went in. Naruto and Fu saw A looking at them, Fu was nervous but Naruto was in awe. A man probably as strong as his jiji was in front of him. "Wow, you look strong, oji-san."
Everyone was god smack that the blonde called their leader uncle, while Fu was giggling. A smirked. "Haha, I like you already kid. I can tell just by looking at you that you're the son of my most respected rival. So why don't you introduce yourself."
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, the strongest ninja ever." Naruto said. A respected the intro, already set a goal for himself.
"I'm Fu, I don't have a surname but I'm going to be the strongest kunoichi ever." Fu said.
"Interesting, why do you want to be strong?" A asked.
"To protect my friends and my new home!" Fu and Naruto said together. A nodded in approval and noticed Mabui. (14 and is the Raikage's daughter.) staring at Naruto in awe. 'Funny, she never showed interest in a guy. The gaki might be special. Plus he's an Uzumaki..I can send him Bee and Fu to the island to train til they are old enough to join the academy. Uzumaki's are great in fuinjutsu, kenjutsu, futon and suiton.'
"Bee I want you to take Fu and Naruto on the special Island and train them. They should be ready when the academy starts." A ordered.
"Bro, what about Yugi-?" "She's fine, she conquered her hatred and she has Samui, I believe in her. You're training two jinchuurikis, you'll have a hard time as it is." Bee nodded. "Good, help these two, just make them physically stronger and conquer their hatred, they're not ready to face their Bijuu but it should make it easier for them to use their chakra."
"I got it bro, you can count on me killer Bee." Asigh, his brother raps were annoying.
"Just go." Bee nodded and took the kids with him.
After a few days of travel, Bee made it to the Jinchuuriki temple. Bee turned to his students and smiled. "Alright listen up yo, we're going to build your muscle, so you two will hustle and the training will make you feel pain, but you will have a lot to gain. Nothing can go wrong, cause you'll be strong! Just follow me, the almighty killer bee."
"What?" Fu asked.
"Basically, he said 'listen to him and he'll make us stronger." Naruto said.
Bee smiled at Naruto. "Yo, got my rhymes but now we are outta time. Time to train, no pain no gain."
"Please stop raping." Fu begged.
Bee giggled and nodded. "Fine, for our training. We are going to be doing training exercises like standard work outs, chakra control practices and finding a taijutsu style for you two. Also you'll learn of your affinity. I'm going to strengthen your body and mind, you'll need to be strong to use your partner's chakra. We have two years, so let's get to work."
Anko just arrived from her month-long vacation. She never had a break from interrogation and completing missions, trying to get promoted. She wasn't looking forward to heading back to konoha but mostly seeing her friends, Hana, Yugao and her special friend Naruto. She had rescued the blonde from a mob and they naturally bonded, being outcast and all. She had to apologize to him for not seeing him in a month. He was already afraid of people and she was worried he might be more reserved. She decided to create an entrance.
Hiruzen was reading his book, giggling like a schoolgirl when something burst through the window. He sighs, Anko was due back today and he had a feeling this was her. He looked up and saw Anko landed in front of him with a big smile. "Anko Mitarashi, returning from a vacation."
"Welcome back, can you stop breaking the windows?" Hiruzen asked.
"Nope, it makes my entrances better. Can I be reinstated, I need to go. I owe a blonde fox some ramen for being gone too long." Anko asked. Hiruzen paled. He forgot, Anko wasn't here for the announcement.
"Anko, there is something you need to know about Naruto…" Hiruzen started, gaining the snake user's attention. Outside the tower, everyone was minding their own business when they suddenly felt thunderous killer intent out of nowhere coming from the tower.
"What?! He's been gone for almost a month and no one found him?" Anko seethed. Hiruzen was sweating a bit. Anko k.i was higher than his own and he knew what this woman was capable of when she was pissed. "Damn this village.."
Anko turned around and was about to storm out the room. "Anko, where are you going?" Hiruzen asked.
"I'm going to find him. Naruto-kun is a survivor and I know he's alive. He's alone, we're alone…. I Won't abandon him." Anko said without turning around.
"What about your friends? Yugao-san, Hana-san and Kure-" Hiruzen paused when Anko ki flared. Anko calmed down and breathed.
"Kurenai and I aren't friends at the moment." Anko said in a quiet tone. When I saved Naruto from a mob, I took him to a dango shop for food. You should've seen him eat, the gaki hasn't eaten in days apparently. When Yugao and Kurenai walked in, Yugao greeted Naruto-kun like a normal person but Kurenai.."
Flashback
"Slow down foxy-kun, don't go choking." Anko said to Naruto.
"I-I'm sorry, no one would give me any food. Thank you for being nice to me." Naruto said. Anko giggled and patted Naruto's head.
"No problem, what are friends for?" Anko replied.
"Friends? We're friends?" Naruto asked, looking hopefully.
"Sure, I can use a friend as funny as you. You're stuck with me." Anko said. Naruto stared at the snake user and glomped her in a hug. Anko gave a rare warm smile and returned the hug. Naruto pulled away and returned to eat.
"Well hello Anko-chan." Anko turned to the source of the voice and saw Yugao standing there smiling. "And who's the cutie?" Yugao knew who he was from her Anbu job but she acted the part.
Anko smiled and hugged Naruto, rubbing their cheeks together. "This adorable fox is Naruto-kun. He's my new friend."
Yugao nodded and sat next to Naruto. He flinched a bit until she ruffled his hair. "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you. You know I wouldn't mind being friends with a cutie like you."
"Really? Yay, I have more friends." Naruto cheered.
"What's with all the.." Kurenai asked to walk into the stand but paused when her eye landed on Naruto, soon her mind started picturing the kyuubi stepping on her father. She glared at the blonde, causing him to flinch. "What are you doing here? Leave!"
Anko gave Kurenai a confused look. "Kurenai.."
"Stay quiet. You 'boy' leave, this place isn't for the likes of you. And you try to take advantage of my friends. If you don't leave now." Kurenai threatened.
Naruto didn't give her a chance to finish and ran crying. Kurenai sighed and turned to her friends. "Sorry about that. Anko, you should be careful…" she didn't get to finish when Anko grabbed her by the throat.
"What was that! How can you treat a kid like that and easily dismiss it?" Anko said glaring at the genjutsu mistress.
Kurenai returned the glare. "How could you endanger us by hanging around him? It's not like I attacked him! I just told him to stay away from you for your own safety."
"Safety or your own fear? The kid is five years old, do you know what that means?" Anko asked, Kurenai shook her head. Anko tossed her to the ground. "Five years without no one dying, five years without any sort of destruction or any massacre. You think he would want revenge for all the attacks."
"He can't do anything because the yondaime weakens him." Kurenai retorted.
"Really? So you know what technique the yondaime used? Tell me, what's it called and how does it work?" Anko asked. Kurenai was quiet, honestly, she still thought the boy was the fox reincarnate spirit. The fact it disappeared and the blonde appeared out of nowhere made sense to her. "Let me guess, you think the fox turned to the boy?" Kurenai was snapped out of her thoughts and turned to Anko. "Why a boy? Why not an adult or another demon form? Why stay in that form for five years receiving torture and not transform?"
"I don't know why." Kurenai answered honestly.
"Exactly, you just believe what everyone tells you even though 90% of the people here are dumbasses who know nothing of the shinobi arts. You let your emotions take control of you and justified hurting a kid as justice because of your misguided belief. I'm disappointed in you Yuhi-san." When Kurenai heard Anko call her that, her heart broke. "I'm going to find the gaki and protect him. If you try to hurt him, you'll end up in the hospital. This is your only warning."
Flashback end
Hiruzen looked down in guilt. "It's my fault, if I hadn't told everyone Naruto's secret, he would've been here, everything would've.."
"It's not your fault.." Hiruzen looked at Anko. "You could've done things different but the way the villagers act isn't something you could control. You can only try to do things better, Naruto-kun is alive. I know he is and we'll see him again one day. Hopefully soon. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to get some dangos and sake."
"Fine, you're dismissed and Anko.. Thank you." Anko gave the hokage a nod and proceeded to her favorite place.
Kurenai wasn't feeling well, ever since the realization of the blonde jinchuuriki, Kurenai was feeling foolish. She prides herself of being a great kunoichi, smart, strong and looking underneath. She let her fear and hatred take over, treating a kid like a monster when he just wanted a companion. She walked in the dango stand and saw Anko at a table eating some dangos. "Here goes…Anko-chan."
Anko looked up and saw Kurenai.. "I don't have time for this.." Anko mumbled.
"Anko-chan, how have you been?" Kurenai greeted me nervously.
"Fine, I just learned that the only person who understood me, left the village because idiots like you." Anko sneered.
Kurenai flinched at the tone and looked down in shame. "About that, listen.. I was wrong. I was angry about my father's death and took it out on an innocent kid. I let my anger take control of me and I wanted to say I'm sorry."
Anko was staring at her friend then sigh. "I want to forgive you but I'm not. Because of you and many others, Naruto-kun is gone. I don't know if he's alright. The only way I'll forgive you is if I find him alive and well."
Kurenai looked down in shame. "I understand, I'm here for you." Kurenai said, but Anko responded by downing another shot. 'Naruto, I Promise I'll find you for Anko sake!' Kurenai thought. She was determined to find the blonde and make things right.
"Alright listen up, since we three are jinchuuriki. We got more chakra than most, so while we train I'll be your host. We will work on our chakra until our control is fine, understand miss seven and mister nine?" Bee said. He brought the two kids to the jinchuuriki temple and forest.
"What?" Fu asked confusingly.
"I'm going to teach you how to control your chakra. Then you and your bijuu come up with a taijutsu style. I'm going to train you in shuriken throwing, a few low level ninjutsu and stamina exercises, as a jinchuuriki, using your bijuu chakra will exhaust you. Once the basics are done, I'll teach you to wield a weapon or two since every Kumo nin uses one. Do you understand?"
"Hai sensei!" both Fu and Naruto responded.
knock* knock* ""Come in!" A said. When the three Jinchuurikis walked in. A smiled and leaned back in his chair. "So, how was four years on the Island?"
"It was fun Oji-san. I wish we could've stayed there longer. We could've got so much stronger." Naruto said.
A chuckle. "True but the Academy starts in a few hours and I thought it would be good for you to make some friends." 'plus it would've been unfair for Yugito if you train even more than she did. The on;y reason I allowed was because your bijuus are stronger.' A thought to himself.
"Really? I can make more friends!? Naruto-kun, we have to go." Fu said excitedly.
"Fine, let's go. It could be fun." Naruto said.
"Before that, Naruto. I want to tell you something. Do you have any Idea who your father is?" A asked.
Naruto gave a small smile. "Hai, I know. Kuruma told me."
"Well, good. I would be honored if you use both your parents' names. I respect both of them and I feel it would be right if you would use them." A said.
Naruto nodded. "Yea, I would love to."
A nodded in approval. "Good to hear, Bee. take them to get some supplies and then to the Academy. Can't have our new student's be late."
"You got it bro, come on you two. Let's get this show on the road." Bee said, leading his two Jinchuuriki out.
"Alright class. We have two new students joining us." Ai, the Kumo instructor said to her class. "Please welcome Fu and." Ai gasps in surprise when she reads the next name. Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze."
The class started to whisper when the eyed the blonde. 'He's kind of cute.' 'Wonder if he's dating that mint hair girl?' 'isn't Namikaze the name of the yellow flash.' most of the girls said. Samui eyed Naruto. She had a thing for strong men but a name doesn't make anyone strong. Hopefully he's not a joke like these other boys.' Samui thought before turning to her friend. "What do you think, Yugito? Potential new friends."
"I don't care. We're not here to make friends. But if they are strong, I'll have to test them." Yugito said.
"You won't have to worry about friends with that attitude. We're people too, Yugito. don't isolate yourself." Yugito gave her friend a look of disbelief.
"You're the only one who thinks that. Everyone else sees me as a freak, a monster or a nuisance." Yugito said coldly. Samui shook her head and faced forward.
Naruto and Fu walk up to the row the two blondes were on and see two extra seats. "Excuse, would it be cool if we sat here?" Naruto asked. All the girls 'ah.' which confused the two jinchuurikis.
"He's going to sit next to the freak and ice princess." "they're going to hurt him." "Naruto-kun, don't. The girl with the pony-tail is dangerous."
"I would listen to them." Naruto and Fu turn to Yugito, who was glaring at them. "You don't want to sit next to me or you won't have any friends."
Samui frowned and turned to the new students. "Don't listen, it'll be cool if you sit here. Just don't bother us during class or interfere with our studies and you'll be fine. My name is Samui by the way." Samui said and elbowed Yugito.
Yugito narrowed her eyes at Samui but it was returned. The two stared at each other for a while but Yugito gave in. "Yugito nii, there."
"Hi, I'm Fu. I want to be friends."
"No." Yugito responded. Fu looks like someone crushed her soul. Naruto saw this and gritted his teeth.
"What's your deal, she just wants to be friends?" Naruto asks.
Yugito shifted her eyes towards Naruto. "We're not here to make friends. We are here to be ninjas for our village. If she wants friends, go somewhere else."
"Kitten, you need to open up. Make some friends. I'm sorry for what I did but don't do this. Neither of us are weapons. We have emotion and don't bottle yours up." Matatabi said.
"Stay out of it, it's better this way. No one will get hurt. Besides, those two will run away once they learn about you." Yugito responded with sadness.
"We'll be your friends." Naruto turned to the front of his desk and Omoi was holding out two lollipops. "Names Omoi, here. A sucker for you and your friend." the white haired boy said. Fu took hers quicker than Naruto.
"Karui, my name." the redhead said, offering a fist bump. Fu followed through with the fist bump. "Don't worry about these two, me and Omoi tried talking to these two but Samui won't be friends with anyone unless Yugito does and Yugito had denied us."
"Speak for yourself." Samui said.
"It's true, because you're the best kunoichi doesn't mean you can boss me around." Karui retorted. Naruto's eyes widened.
"She's the best?" Naruto asked.
"She's the best overall. Nobody, boy or girl, ever beat her in a fight. Yugito is not far behind." Omoi explained. Samui looked at Naruto and Fu to analyze their reaction. Most people get scared to fight her once they hear this.
Naruto smirked. "Sweet, I can't wait to fight you now." Naruto said with a predator grin. Samui was shocked and smiled a little.
"Wow, you're strong but you can't beat Naruto-kun. He's definitely stronger." Fu said with confidence.
Samui turned to Naruto, hardening her gaze. "Really? We'll have to see." Yugito looked at the two, she wouldn't openly admit it but she wanted to be friends with the two but she didn't want to be betrayed again.
It's been four months since Naruto joined the academy. To the surprise of everyone, except Fu. Naruto and Samui were equal in terms of skills and knowledge, in fact they were the only students to have a perfect score in everything but Genjutsu. Samui believed Genjutus was cowardly and Naruto didn't have enough control to perform them. Samui had Naruto beat in Kenjutsu but speed and taijutsu, Naruto was superior. They form a rivalry but Samui still refused friendship until Yugito accepted it, to Naruto irritation.
Naruto and Yugito were always at each other's throats. When he asked Fu why she didn't give up on her. Fu responded with, everyone deserves a friend or two. Fu also said there was something about her that drew her in. Naruto felt it too but he was just too stubborn to acknowledge it.
Naruto became best friends with Omoi, well second to Fu, and they had some kenjutsu rivalries. Naruto only used borrowed sword sense, he didn't have a sword he was comfortable with. Fu was best friends with Karui, While Karui was always hot headed, when it came to Fu, she was calm and cheerful. Karui thought Fu was an adorable sister.
Yugito was pretty much the same towards the other two jinchuurikis. She felt a pull from the others. She didn't know what it was. A familiar feeling but she always ignored it. She was impressed by how strong the two were. She assumed they would be a joke with cheerful demeanor but she was tied in strength with Fu. The weird thing was that Fu's personality changed when she fought, just like Naruto's. They become focused and determined, even when Fu loses to her. She goes back to her cheerful nature and the sad part was that Fu cheerfulness was drawing her in more.
Naruto had made some fangirls and Fu, alongside Samui made some male worshippers, Fu being innocent and needed to be protected. Samui being badass and hot, drawing in some soon to be perverts. As of the moment, the class was going to have another taijutsu match.
"Alright. Now Fu vs Yugito. To the ring." Both Jinchuurikis made it to their respective sides.
"Goodluck Yugi-chan." Fu said.
"Don't call me that." Yugito said. Some kids were mumbling about the freak being rude. Naruto knew Yugito was being rude and she was strong but these kids were calling her a freak, in fact they had been doing it for months but it didn't bother her at all. What was the reason? The only conclusion was that she was a jinchuuriki. He asked Kuruma and the fox said that it was possible but he couldn't sense outside the seal. Plus he assumed Bee would've told him and Fu. what else could've been.
"Alright, this will be a taijutsu fight and it's over when I say. ready..Begin!" Yugito charged forward towards Fu and went for a roundhouse kick. Fu bent backwards to dodge. Yugito saw this and went for a swipe kick but Fu jumped in the air above the blonde and corrected herself. Fu went for an axe kick, this time Yugito blocked it and grabbed her leg and swung her towards the ground. Fu used her hand to catch herself and threw a kick towards Yugito's chest causing the blonde to release the mint girl. They both stood still and charged each other, exchanging blows. Fu mostly dodged and kicked as Yugito blocked and threw punches.
"Who do you think will win?" Omoi asked.
Naruto narrowed his eyes. "Fu, Yugito is getting frustrated and it will soon cause her to waver since her desire to win is greater. Fu is more focused and patient. She prepares for anything. Yugito is stronger but she has been annoyed by Fu for a while and I think it'll cause problems. What's Yugito's problem?"
"I wish I could tell you but that's her secret. Anybody who speaks will get hurt by Samui, not that it's a big deal. Karui and I don't care but she doesn't trust no one." Omoi said.
"Match over!" Naruto and Omoi turn to see Yugito on the ground, Fu let out a breath and smiled. She lent a hand to Yugito. "Need help? Good fight."
"Whatever." Yugito said, smacking her hand away.
Naruto had it and walked up to Yugito, grabbing her by the collar. "What is your deal? Why are you so stubborn? At first, I didn't care but Fu see's something in you and frankly I think you should drop the attitude."
Yugito narrowed her eyes. "Why should I listen to you? If you want to know, I'll tell you. I don't trust you, you and Fu having fun with your friends being normal. You have no idea what it feels like! To be different, to be alone and to be glared at. Treated differently for something you can't control."
Yugito's glare softened when Naruto started to shake. "You think I don't know?" He threw Yugito on the ground and when she looked up, Naruto was crying. "I know alright, in Konoha. Every year I have been attacked on my birthday since I remember. I got kicked out of stores, I never knew my parents, parents told kids to ignore me, I was kicked out of the orphanage after I turned five and lived on the streets. I WAS ALONE! I WAS CALLED A MONSTER AND PEOPLE HATED ME, SO DON'T TALK LIKE YOU KNOW ME!" Naruto said before taking off.
Fu was about to explode until she heard the other students calling Yugito a monster and a freak. Yugito was crying, but not because of the insults. It's because Naruto understood and he was dealt with worse than her. She assumed because his father, he was treated better but by his eyes, she could tell he wasn't lying. "Why?" Yugito looked up at Fu, who was looking at her with a sadden look. "Why does everyone here look at you like a freak?" Fu asked. "You hurt Naruto-kun, so I want to know?"
Yugito didn't answer. She didn't know what to do. "She has the Nibi seal in her. It's in her gut." one of Naruto fangirls yelled in rage. Yugito's eyes widened and looked at Fu, who didn't say anything. "Fu-san, you should stay away from her."
Fu did something that surprised everyone and hugged Yugito. Before Yugito could say anything, Fu pulled back and smiled. "I guess I should reintroduce myself. My name is Fu.." Fu stood and stretched out her hand. "Jinchuuriki of Nanabi, nice to meet you." Fu said, shocking everyone. Samui for the first time, mouth dropped.
Yugito's eyes widened with tears coming out. "W-what? You mean we're the same?" Fu channeled chakra to her stomach and a seal appeared. Yugito saw this, stood up and hugged the girl.
'Matatabi, did you know?" Yugito asked her tenant.
"No, because of the seal, I couldn't since it. But you now have a true friend. Chomei is really nice, she's a lot of fun." Matatabi replied.
Yugito nodded and pulled back from Fu. "I'm sorry, I just didn't want you to be hated because of me. It wouldn't have been fair."
Fu shook her head. "No, I should've known by how you were treated that you were a jinchuuriki. So should've Naruto-kun."
Yugito tilted her head in confusion until it struck her. "You mean?"
Fu smiled and nodded his head. "That's right, Naruto is a jinchuuriki too. He has..you know what, I'll let him tell you."
Samui approached the two. "Wow Yugito, I guess you're not alone. Pretty cool to have people who can understand you" Yugito looked at her best friend and nodded. Fu turned to the class and frowned.
"You heard that, I'm a jinchuuriki too, And so is Naruto-kun. So go ahead and hate me if you want. I don't care. But think about this, have we ever hurt you? Have we ever attacked you? No, you're the monsters. Always making us feel different, it's not fair. We just want friends and to have fun but you all just treat us like freaks. Back in my village, I had no friends, no one would feed me when I Was hungry and my parents died when I was three. Still ask yourself, since I've been here. Have I ever attacked any of you, haven't I always been nice? And Naruto-kun, are you girls going to hate him too? He treated everyone fairly and defended me, does that make him a monster?" Fu asked everyone. No one said anything.
"I'm still your friend." Everyone turned to Karui. "I think it's kinda cool. There's no way someone as adorable as you can be a monster Fu."
"Naruto's my buddy, funny guy. There's no way some like Naruto is a monster. Yugito, if you need a friend, you have one in me anytime." Omoi said, tossing her a lollipop.
"I'm sorry, I'll be your friend." "And me." "Me too." "I will." Many of the class said. Yugito couldn't believe this. The class was apologizing to her and wanted to be her friend.
"Sure, I don't mind." Yugito said, trying to act tough. Fu gave Yugito a victory hug.
"Can I be your friend Fu?" Samui asked. Fu stared at the girl, then pulled her into the hug. "Sure."
"I'll be your friend Samui-sama." "me too, Samui-chan!" "Please be my friend!" a lot of the boys volunteered.
"Fuck off." Samui said in a cold tone. All the guys backed off. "My only friends are Yugito, Fu, Omoi, Karui and…Naruto-kun." The four mentioned looked at Samui, who was blushing when she said Naruto's name. She turned to them and glared. "What?"
"Nothing." Does she like Naruto/kun?" they thought.
Fu took Yugito's hand and ran towards the academy exit. "Fu, where are we going?"
"To find Naruto-kun, he doesn't know you're a jinchuuriki. Sorry Samui-chan, Karui-chan. This is something we have to handle." Fu said, dragging Yugito.
"It's cool, goodluck." Samui responded. Karui nodded and turned to Samui with a smirk.
"Naruto-kun?" Karui asked.
"Shut it….he's mine." Samui responded.
"We'll see." Karui said with a blush. Omoi chuckled. 'Samui, Karui and Fu…Naruto, you are lucky.'
Naruto was on top of a mountain, looking over the village. He felt guilty about snapping at Yugito and leaving. He needed to calm down. Yugito had her own problems and she was alone, he should've seen the mask she was wearing. 'I need to apologize, knowing the class. They're probably giving her a hard time.'
"Even at a time like this, you still worry about others…how are you feeling, kit?" Kuruma asked.
"Pretty shitty, she was already having a hard time and now, I think I made it worse." Naruto answered.
"Things will get better, I have a sense for these things." Kuruma responded, trying to cheer up his host. Naruto nodded.
"Naruto-kun!" Naruto turned around and saw Fu and Yugito.
"Hey Fu-chan, Yugito…listen I'm sorry for yelling at you. You already had it rough and I probably made it harder for you." Naruto said, surprising Nibi host.
"No, I was an ass. I thought keeping you away from me would help you make friends and maybe not feel what I felt." Yugito said as she and Fu sat on different sides of Naruto. "I learned that you are a jinchuuriki like me."
Naruto's eyes widened and turned to Fu. "Why did you tell her…wait! Like you?"
Yugito nodded. "That's right. I'm.." "wait!" Fu said, cutting them off. "How about we just go and meet the bijuu?" Fu said, putting her hand forward. Naruto nodded and put his hand on top of Fu's. The two turned to Yugito and nodded. Yugito followed suit and put her hand on top of Naruto's and blushed.
'It feels warm.' She thought until she was in a white domain. "Where are.." "Kuruma-kun! I can't believe you here! If I knew the blonde stud was your host, I would've told her to ride him ages ago!" Matatabi said, pressing her against her cage,
"Mata-chan! You were here my love. Sorry I couldn't sense you. These seals were preventing it." Kuruma said, clawing his cage.
"What's going on?" Naruto asked.
"Well you see, Kuruma and Matatabi are mates per-say and it's been a long time since they saw each other." Chomei said.
"I thought all bijuu were brother and sisters." Fu said.
"No, we have no blood so we can't really be related. Even if we were, we're demons. Human rules don't apply to us." Chomei said, then turned to Yugito. "It's nice to meet you Yugito-san, you gave Fu a hard time but now I know why. You shouldn't worry about what others think. Please for now on, open up. Don't Isolate yourself, you're a strong girl with a bright future but don't spend it alone."
Yugito nodded and smiled. "It's nice to meet you. You're right I'm sorry. Fu has been kind to me and I promise I'm going to be best friends with Fu and hopefully Naruto."
"You better." The group turned to Kuruma. "The kit was worried about you, even though he wouldn't openly admit it. He wanted to help you but he got his stubbornness from his mother. 'Kuruma, is there a way to make Yugito happy?' or ' Kuruma, Yugito still looks upset, maybe I should play a prank to make her smile.' You were acting cold and that's coming from a being of hatred."
Yugito blushed and turned to Naruto, who was also blushing. "You were worried about me?"
"Damn, baka-fox! Why do you have to tell her that?" Naruto asked, face red.
Yugito giggled and approached the kyuubi. "Nice to meet you Kyuubi-sama." Kuruma nodded
"It's good to see you smile, it suits you more." Kuruma commented. Yugito blushed at the praise.
Naruto and Fu walked to Matatabi. "Wow, you look amazing." Naruto commented.
"And so cute." Fu added.
"Ahh, you're a pretty little thing yourself Fu-chan. And you mister handsome, sorry about what Yugito said. I'll make sure she repays you with some night service when she's older.." Naruto was confused, while Yugito was blushing in embarrassment.
"Haha, same old Matatabi. Miss you kitty." "same to you foxy." both bijuu said to each other.
"I think we should go." Naruto said. Fu and Yugito nodded in agreement, then the trio disappeared. Kuruma and Matatabi were still crying for each other. Naruto, Fu and Yugito were back on the mountain standing each other. "That was fun".
"Yeah…Listen, I'm sorry how I acted. To tell you the truth, I would love to be friends." Yugito said, rubbing her arms.
"Me too!" Fu cheered.
"How this, we be a team and become the strongest in Kumo?" Naruto said.
"I can get behind that." Yugito said.
"Me too. We'll be unbeatable." Fu said.
"Right, we even surpass Octopops." Naruto said. Yugito was confused.
"Octopops?"
"Yea, he's talking about Bee-san." Fu said.
"Wait, you know Bee-san?" Yugito asked. Fu and Naruto nodded. "Did he know you were jinchuuriki's?" the two nodded their heads again. Yugito was seething in anger. Naruto caught and he started to get angry.
"And he didn't mention you to us?" Fu realized what Naruto meant and she was even angry.
"All this could've been avoided." Fu said. Naruto started to giggle evilly.
"I think we should punish the rapper." Fu and Yugito looked at the male jinchuuriki and started to giggle along with him.
"Huh?" Kirabi was hanging upside down from a woman's hot spring. He looked down and smirked. "Out of sight."
A lady looked up and screamed. "Pervert!" and Kirabi Bee got the beat of a lifetime on his back with a note that said 'payback is a bitch.'
"so a couple things. this is my last new Fanfiction until I finish one of my other stories. Naruto and his friends we be low-mid jonin level when the become a genin. Naruto will not have the draw of Kuruma's chakra where he gets hurt or loses his lifespan that other people have in their story. he will have a limit. I will add two people from Konoha into the harem. Anko is one and the other...I don't know, I was thinking Hana but you can vote.
