NARUSASUNARUSASUNARUSASU
Naruto's POV
I panted in exhaustion as I continued my kunai training. Who would have thought throwing a chunk of metal around was so hard. It doesn't even weigh that much. Not that I'm complaining of course... okay maybe I am but hey I'm eight, I have the right to complain. I smirked at this thought and threw another kunai, whining as it once again missed the center. For three hours straight I had done nothing but throw kunais' at the target board, occasionally making a bulls eye.
My teacher now was Iruka-sensei and though he had a major attitude problem, he was cool. He didn't constantly criticize me, nor did he act to soft with his teachings either. He was, how do you say it... awesome. He was the kind of person who just made you feel warm and protected, without even trying.
I narrowed my eyes in concentration at the target and allowed my body to relax, something I did when I was trying to concentrate. After living everyday not knowing if I was going to be killed the next day by evil villagers with benefits I learned to sometimes give into my instincts and let my body move on its own, to guide me to survival.
Narrowing my eyes even more I took my kunai out of my pouch and twirled it for a moment on my pointer finger, subconsciously moving my legs into a battle stance, unaware of the strange look Iruka was giving me as I now took a deep breath, relaxed and gracefully threw the kunai, hitting the bulls eye with a deadly thud.
"Naruto, that was very impressive." Iruka called out, surprised at the sudden turn in my movements and what it had achieved. I didn't exactly notice his praise, for I took out another kunai, almost as if in a trance and threw it at the board again, splitting my first kunai in two as I shoved it to the center.
"Naruto!" Iruka whispered, now even more surprised. Something was wrong. Something was very wrong. Usually when I turned to my instincts I could just snap right out of it but now... something was different. It was almost... predatory.
I tried to twitch my fingers, something I do when I try to get out of certain situations. It didn't work, I just grabbed another kunai and through it at the target, making it land right next to my other kunais. Then I threw another and another until finally the whole bulls eye circle was filled to the brim with kunais.
Just as I was about to reach for another one a hand stopped me, gripping my hand tightly in a firm grip. I snarled in warning, not too unusual really but again this was different. This was not the sound an eight year old was suppose to make. No... this was the sound of an animal, a beast. The hand did not flinch nor waver in its grip, it held me still and firm as I turned to face the person who dared to touch me.
The man had long, gravity defying, silver hair and most of his face was unrecognizable because of his black mask covering most of his facial features. The most I could see was one light blue eye. He was dressed in a black long sleeved shirt and a pair of black fighting pants, gray wraps tied around his arms and legs, with the Uchiha fan sign on his gray vest, obviously showing who he belonged too. He was tall too, very tall in fact and by the feel of it, very strong.
"Hm now, what do we have here, going a tad out of line already aren't we Naruto." said the man, his eye narrowing suspiciously at my own narrowed eyes. I could feel a growl building in my throat and suddenly I realized something. I couldn't control myself. Something inside me had exploded, unleashing a ferocious emotion to the surface.
The emotion of hate, revenge and other such disgusting emotions I never knew I could feel. My life seemed to be flashing by me in the back of my mind. Reminding me of all the people who hurt me... and suddenly I felt the urge to hurt them back, with those beautiful sharp weapon stuck in the target board. What the heck was wrong with me?
"My name isn't Naruto," my voice said without my consent, making me mentally blink in surprise. 'Eh! If I'm not Naruto, then who the hell am I?" I wondered as I began to wonder about my mental health. I didn't even try to bother with the fact that my voice had gotten lower, raspier, and a lot scarier. The man raised his eyebrow in surprise.
"If your not Naruto then who are you, because I am quite sure that is your name." My face smirked at his question without my permission. I was personally thinking that was a good question but hey, since when did my opinion count ne.
"My name is Kyuubi." okay that's a weird name for anyone to come up with. The man didn't seem to think so since he suddenly let go of my arm and got into a fighting stance. My body automatically got into a fighting stance as well. A stance I never remember knowing and yet it felt so natural as I lifted my fists. Mentally I was cursing my alternate personalities stupidity to pick on someone three times my size. Really, what the hell could a little squirt like me do against a possible full fledge ninja.
"Kakashi-san, um I don't know what is going on but please don't murder my student," Iruka-sensei said in concern. I mentally widened my eyes in horror. Oh hell no, I'm not fighting a possible assassin just because an alternate personality I didn't even know I had decides he wants to have a little fun bruising up my already worn out body. Nu uh not gonna happen, no way.
I gritted my teeth as I tried to someone reconquer my own mind. Someone was growling stop it at me but I ignored it and just kept pushing, unfortunately for me, whoever this thing or whatever is pushes back... hard. I made a childish growl and kept pushing with all my might. The thing sighed and then suddenly disappeared, causing me to stumble and squeak as I fell to the ground. Just barely dodging the kick thrown at me.
I blinked in confusion as I stared at the hard concrete floor. Curiously I twitched my fingers and my toes, tensing up in fear when my toes wouldn't move. It was as if the lower half of my body was frozen in some state of shock or something. Biting my lip nervously I put the palms of my hands flat on the ground to push myself up only to fall back down, accidentally banging my head on the cold floor.
"Hm now this is interesting." the man I now knew as Kakashi said, cautiously poking my foot with his shoe. I could feel my face heat up in embarrassment. He then began poking behind my knees, then my thighs and then...
"PERVERT!" I cried as he poked my ass, causing me to turn around and bite his arm, though I was in a strange position, since I had to twist my body to bite him because my legs still couldn't exactly move right. I decided I'd bite even harder just to spite this wacko weirdo.
"Ahh a feisty one now aren't you, glad to know your alright Naruto-chan." Kakashi said while ruffling my hair with his free hand. I blinked owlishly at him before slowly releasing his arm from my mouth. The man seemed to be smiling behind his mask. How could he be smiling when I just pretty much almost bit his arm off? Wait this means I'm free now right. Cautiously I looked around, as if to see the person I had become a few moments ago. Nope there unfortunately.
"Naruto... are you feeling alright?" Iruka said. He looked a bit nervous but then he put on a stern face and slowly walked over to me, picking me up with a slight grunt. I just blinked before nodding. I then wrapped my arms around his neck and wrapped my legs around his waist, burrowing my face into the crook of his neck. I didn't noticed the raised eyebrow from Kakashi or the small softening of Iruka's eyes. All I noticed was that I was warm, and that I was safe.
"Kakashi, what happened to him. He wasn't like that earlier." Iruka said in a worried tone and I could feel him holding me tighter, as if trying to protect me from an unknown force. Soon, without knowing it I fell into a blissful darkness, drowning all noises of the outside world.
NORMAL POV
"Naruto seems to be the vessel of the nine tailed fox it would seem, you remember, the one named Kyuubi." Kakashi explained, brushing his fingers through the young blondes hair. Iruka made a slight gasp of surprise and looked at the young child. Kakashi watched the mans reaction, expecting Iruka to drop the child at any moments notice. His eyes widened in surprise as Iruka gently sat down on the floor and began to cuddle the boy, tears slowly forming at the brunettes eyes.
"He must have been lonely for a long time then. I've heard a lot about how the villagers have treated the wielder of the nine tailed demon. I've even heard about the more vicious stories too... he must have felt so alone... so confused, so... unwanted." Tears were now freely falling down Iruka's face. Kakashi sighed and nodded, making an almost relieved sigh. He should never have doubted Iruka's kindness, for Iruka was known to be one of the sweetest ninjas on the force, though that can be a weakness as well, it also seemed to be his strength.
"Yes. I too have heard about those stories. Human nature can be rather cruel ne Iruka." Kakashi said sadly as he slowly took the boy from Iruka's caring arms and held him bridal style, smiling sadly at the peaceful face of the child.
"Shall we help protect this little one Iruka. Soon enough the elves and ninjas will realize who exactly this boy is. We need to keep that secret away from them for as long as possible." Iruka nodded at Kakashi's words, vowing inwardly to protect the little child. For he knew as well as Kakashi what it felt like to be alone. To be abandoned... almost unwanted. They could relate with the blonde, they could feel the pain and they could remember crying the tears. No one knew better then them... that was why Naruto needed them, that was why they would protect naruto, at any cost.
TWO MONTHS LATER - STILL NORMAL POV
It didn't take long for the head elf, Fugaku Uchiha, to learn the true identity of Naruto. Immediately he locked himself in a secret chamber, known only to Fugaku alone. He looked around as if to find a solution to this crisis... and then it hit him like a ton of bricks. So what if Naruto was some chaotic, blood-thirsty fox, he was powerful and could indeed bring even more power to the Uchiha clan.
If the chance arrived, they could use Naruto hidden secret to destroy a strong enemy, not to mention Sasuke would indeed be the strongest elf there was. Their family would be invincible especially with Itachi as well. Who would have thought their family would be successful in just one generation?
Standing up with determination, Fugaku strolled down the many secret halls in the Uchiha household and soon stopped in front of a huge door where inside lay one of the many dojos. Silently he opened the door so to watch as Itachi taught Sasuke how to move faster without using to much energy. It seemed Itachi wanted to start with the fundamentals. Very good tactic, which one would expect from the oldest heir to the Uchiha throne.
Suddenly both of them stopped and turned, facing their father in respect, both not showing their curiosity though it was evident that Sasuke was confused why their father would be interrupting their training.
"Itachi," their father said, "where is Naruto right now?" Sasuke blinked in surprise before looking up to his brother, watching worriedly as Itachi narrowed his eyes in warning at the man for a moment before walking toward his antecedent, Sasuke following in tow. The oldest man smirked before also following Itachi and after many twists and turns they made it to the another large door.
Again the door was opened silently and all three peeked in wearily. Sasuke's eyes widened in delight at the sight of Naruto, who was doing triple back flips in the air while trying to hit a target with a kunai, which got to the second ring on the target board, making Naruto cry in happiness.
"Ne ne iruka-sensei did you see that. I hit the target board this time!" Iruka laughed at Naruto's happy attitude and nodded in approval.
"Alright Naruto. That was very good. Your posture is almost perfect, try twisting a little more inward next time okay." Iruka said, causing Naruto to nod excitedly. The blonde then ran back to the blue training mat, got into position, then started running and jumped, this time twisting just the way Iruka told him, and quickly threw his kunai at the target which hit the bulls eye dead on. After that naruto landed perfectly in a crouch position, and for good measure sent two more kunai at the target board, getting them all right in the center.
Iruka applauded Naruto happily as the boy whooped and cheered at his latest triumph, then suddenly stopped and blinked, his whole appearance going stock still. Then out of nowhere he turned around and ran at the door and launched himself directly at Sasuke, catching the poor elf rookie by surprise.
"SASUKE!" Naruto screamed as he latched onto the boy, sending them flying several feet back. The boy blinked in surprise at the boy on top of him. Then smirked and flipped them over so quickly that Naruto practically squeaked. They them burst out into fits of giggles and began wrestling to be on top, not noticing Fugaku staring at them in disapproval. If Sasuke saw this look, his little frail heart might have broke, but fortunately he was not looking, thus did not see the obvious disapproval.
"Naruto, that was really cool, how did you learn to flip like that?" Sasuke asked curiously after he finally got Naruto completely pinned under him. Naruto momentarily stopped struggling and looked at Sasuke before smirking predatorily.
"It's a se-cr-et." was all the blonde said before giving Sasuke a playful nip on the neck. Sasuke unknowingly made a soft purr of approval before resting on Naruto's chest, completely tired of the days events.
Fugaku smirked at the bond forming between the two. That was good. The more loyal Naruto became towards the Uchiha clan, the more powerful they became. The scheming Uchiha did not notice the vengeful glare of his oldest son, nor did he notice that Itachi had plans of his own going through that talented, genius mind of his.
