Chapter 1: Black Tendrils
6 years had passed since the attack of the Kyubi. Things had be going back in a normal pace, but it seems that there is a bright future ahead.
For the Namikaze-Uzumaki Clan things are going fine for everyone but Naruto. Since the age of four, he noticed the special treatment that his siblings recived. They started training since that age with help of Jiraya.
When he asked for being trained too, his parents said that they are going to start training him when he started the academy at the age of 7, the normal age. Becouse of this, his siblings make fun out of him, saying things like, his parents doesn't love him.
So to learn, at the age of five he started getting inside his parents librery too learn. It would be hard to learn all alone, but luckly for him he got someone to help him: Orochimaru.
He still can remember how he met him…
*Flashback*
It was a night in wich Minato and Kushina invited the sannins, to dinner. So while the grownups were talking, little Naruto snuck up in the librery.
When he got inside the librery, he went to the jutsu section to find a cool jutsu. He was about to grab one when…
"KuKuKu, what are you doing Naruto-kun?" Naruto heard behind him. Naruto stoped right in his tracks, and slowly, turned around to see, a tall pale man, with long black hair, purple markings on his face and golden snake like eyes.
Naruto didn't know what to say or do. He was caught 'borrowing' jutsu from his father librery. "Well…" Orochimaru said "I-I…" Naruto tried to say and Orochimaru raised a brow making Naruto sight "I was trying to learn cool jutsus." Naruto admited with his head hanging low.
"And why don't you ask your parents for help?" The snake sannin asked "I tried, but they are too busy with my brothers to help me." Naruto said making Orochimaru frown. Then he got an idea.
"Hmm, what you say if I help you?" Orochimaru said with a smile. The question bringed a grin to Naruto face "Really?" "Yes, now got to your room, I'll ask something to your dad and then I'll teach you something." Orochimaru said patting his head.
Naruto nodded furiosly and then ran to his room waiting for his class. When he left the frown returned. Then he went to talk to Minato about this.
When he asked Minato, he only said that he is going to start training him when the academy starts, but right now his brothers need more attention. This only make the frown grow. Then he left, but stopped when Jiraya offered him to help train Mito and Menma. He didn't even answer and left. 'That fool.' Orochimaru thought.
*Flashback ends*
Since then Orochimaru had helped him. That night he unlocked chackra, which surprised Orochimaru, becouse of its great amounts of chakra that he had. They were so great that called the attention of Minato to Hirashin to his room worried that Orochimaru had hurt his son.
Minato was warry of Orochimaru becouse he took the spot of Hokage. But the spy network that he have had been really benenficial. The best part is that he can left the network to his assistant, Kabuto Yakushi, when he is training Naruto.
Naruto by his six year of life had learnt the three academy standar jutsu, one D-Rank Jutsu and a C-Rank Jutsu. The D-Rank is Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu (Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique), That consists in going underground the opponent and then emerging draging him down, leaving only his head above the ground, and the C-Rank is Suiton Teppodama (Water Release: Gunshot), consists in making his own chackra into water to then release it in form of bullets.
The reason that Orochimaru tought him those Jutsu was becouse his dream. They both share it. Naruto a difference of his siblings doesn't wasn't to becaome Hokage like his siblings, it was to learn all posible Jutsu in the world and becoume the strongest shinobi.
Becouse that reason Orochimaru decided to teach him, to help him acomplish his dream.
His social life isn't the best also becouse his siblings. The parents of the other kids (Mostly civilians) Told their children to hangout with Mito and Menma, leaving Naruto alone. But he still have some friends. This are Shikamaru Nara, Chouji Akimichi and Sasuke Uchiha.
He became friends of Shikamaru and Chouji becouse when the idiot of his brother Menma went to bother Chouji calling him fat Naruto defended him. That and that he thinks that he is just big boned. That make him friend of Chouji and automaticly Shikamaru.
With Sasuke was different. Naruto once saw Sasuke practicing the Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique). When Naruto showed himself saing how cool that was, Sasuke chalenged him to a spar. It ended up in a draw. After that they sat in a tree log and start talking. Then they made a promise.
*Flashback*
"What's your dream?" Naruto asked his new friend "Surpass my brother and becoume the strongest Uchiha." Sasuke said looking at the sky with a smile and a determinated look.
"That's like my dream!" Naruto exclaimed gaining a confused look from Sasuke "You also want to becoume the strongest Uchiha?" "No! I want to becoume the strongest Shinobi and learn all the Jutsu known by men." Naruto answered. "Oh." Sasuke said.
After some moments Naruto had an idea "Hey, let's make a deal!" "A deal?" Sasuke asked and Naruto nodded "I'll help you train for you to beat your brother and you teach me some cool Uchiha Jutsus." Naruto said.
Sasuke after thinking for a while smiled "It seems good for me." Then he streched his hand and Naruto shook it. After some more silence Sasuke asked "Hey, do you want to come and it at my house?"
*Flashback Ends*
Since then, they became best friends and rivals. Sasuke and Naruto then joined the little group of Shikamaru and Chouji, becoming the 4 of them inseparable.
Besides the 3 friends of Naruto have reasons to not go to his siblings. Mito ignores Chouji and Shikamaru and she is a Sasuke fangirl. Menma calls Chouji fat and Shikamaru lazy bump, Sasuke thinks and calls him weak idiot. Also Menma consider himself Sausuke rival.
When Sasuke told him that his older brother is his true rival, Menma started resenting his older brother, and decided to treat him badly.
But an important date is coming to the Namikaze-Uzumaki siblings. Their 6 birthay. Naruto just hoped that his friends including Orochimaru come. Shikamaru told him he is going to give him a new game, Chouji told him he is going to give him a new special food, he and his dad created and Sasuke told him he is going to give him a copy of an Uchiha Jutsu for him to learn.
But the gift that he was waiting the most was definently the one from Orochimaru. He told Naruto he is going to give him three gifts! And one will be a new Jutsu! He can't wait.
Mito was just expecting her friends Ino Yamananka, Hinata Hyuuga and a civilian girl named Sakura Haruno. And of course 'Her Sasuke-Kun'.
Menma was expecting his best friend Kiba Inuzuka and his crush Sakura.
*Hokage Office*
Minato was talking with Kushina about their kids birthday. They were still talking about Mito and Menma gift, but they already knew the one for Naruto. They are going to start training him. Ever since he started training with Orochimaru they felt they were drifting apart. They could leave the training of Mito and Menma to Jiraya, so they could try and reconect with Naruto.
They were interupted becouse someone knocked the window "Hello sensei." Minato said turning around "Hello Minato, Kushina, I just wanted to ask you two if I can make Mito and Menma sign the toad contract?" Jiraya asked.
"Isn't to soon?" Kushina asked and Jiraya shook his head "No. For their training the best thing is to sign it now." "Okay, but what about Naruto?" Kushina asked again "Don't worry about him. Orochimaru told me that he plans in making him sign the snake contract." Jiraya told her.
"Okay then. Go ahead." Minato told his sensei who smiled and go away. Then Minato and Kushina continue to talk about the birthday party.
*October 10, Namikaze-Uzumaki State*
Naruto was excited. Today was his birthday and his friends and sensei were coming. He took a cool jutsu from his father librery that he was going to show to his friends and impress his sensei with it.
The first ones to arrive were the Yamanankas and the Harunos. Ino and Sakura went to Mito and Menma tried to flirt with Sakura, and failed. Then it was a draw between Hiashi Hyuuga and Fugaku Uchiha both followed by their respective children.
Mito, Ino and Sakura launched themselves towards Sasuke who managed to dodge them. Minato and Inoichi were sweatdropping, Hiashi had a smile seeing an Uchiha suffer, Itachi was with a smile too seeing his little brother misurfutune and Fugaku remained stoick, but in the inside was laughing. Then Sasuke went to Naruto room. Hinata tried also to go to her crush room but was dragged away by her friends.
Then it arrived Chouji and Shikamaru with their parents. Menma tried to intimitadem but once again failed. Both went to Naruto's room while Shikaku and Choza went to his friends.
Finnaly Kiba arrived with her sister Hana who started to talk with Itachi until he left becouse a mission.
*Naruto's Room*
In Naruto room the friends meet and each gave a present to Naruto. Shikamaru gave him a Shogi board, Choji the newest plate of the Akimichi BBQ and Sasuke gave him the scroll with Gakokyu no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique).
Now it was time to show them his surprise. "Hey, Do you want to see a cool Jutsu?" Naruto asked with a grin taking out a scroll with the kanji for 'Forbiden'. "Are you sure we can use that?" Chouji asked eating slower.
"Yes! Orochimaru-Sensei told me that Kinjutsu are super strong type of Jutsu!" 'And deangorous, but they don't need to know that.' Naruto thought. "Hn." Sasuke grunted nervously "This is going to be troublesome." Shikamaru said obiosly nervous.
"Alright, here we go." Naruto said opening the scroll. He did the necesary handseals and chargin a liitle of chakra in his hand he bring it down towards the open scroll and said "JIOUNGU". And nothing happened.
"Well that was-" Naruto didn't finish becouse the black tendrils that shot themselves from the scroll towards Naruto. "AHHHHHHHHHH!" Was the only thing that came from him. The other kids were terrified how the tendrils entered into Naruto body.
Orochimaru, Jiraya and Tsunade just arrived when they listened Naruto screamed. They weren't the only ones. The whole house listened the scream.
Minato and Orochimaru rushed towards Naruto room and what they saw horofied them. Naruto's clothes were destroyed and he was covered in stiches and his arms were twiching. They both saw and read the scroll in front of him and frowned. 'Jioungu.' They thought.
Minato grabed Naruto and told Orochimaru to tell the others that there is a Shinobi council meeting. Orochimaru nodded and Minato flashed away.
*Council Chambers*
In the council chambers you could find all the clan heads, the three elders, the Sannins and the Hokage. Minato already left Naruto in the hospital and now he is stabilize. The party was canceled becouse of this.
"What is the reason for this meeting Hokage-sama?" Danzo Shimura asked. Minato really don't like this man, and was starting to doubt to tell him this. But he already passed the no return point.
With a sight he started "Tonight, my eldest son Naruto activated a deangorous Kinjutsu from Taki…" He was interupted by Tsume Inuzuka "Taki?" "Yes, you see, during times of the Shodai Hokage, Taki sent an assasin to kill him. When the assasin failed, Taki to avoid a war, declared the assasin as a Nuke-nin and gave Konoha a copy of its most dangorous Kinjutsu: The Jioungu." Minato explained and everyone nodded and Danzo smirked with an idea.
"What do you plan to do then?" Shikaku Nara asked "That is the thing. The Jioungu without training is deangorous for the user and for everyone else. That is why I called this meeting." Minato said and Danzo spoke up "Give me to me and I-" "No" Minato interupted "But-" Danzo tried but once again Minato interrupted "No. I'm not giving you my son to make it into a mindless weapon. The answer is no Danzo."
Danzo huffed planing already how to get the boy and Orochimaru spoke up "I'll train him. I already do it, and I am the one with the most knwoledge of Kinjutsus included this one." Minato smiled liking the idea and said "Whoever is in favor raise their hands."
Minato raised his hand, so did the other sannins, Tsume, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio. Then Shibi Aburame said raising his hand "That is the more logical choice of action." Hiashi Hyuuga raised his hand too "The Hyuuga clan backs up this plan." He said "Hn. Also the Uchiha clan." Fugaku Uchiha said raising his hand.
"Then it is decided. Orochimaru will becoume the sensei of Naruto Namikaze-Uzumaki. Dismised." Then everyone left.
*Konoha Hospital*
Naruto woke up in pain. Then he saw the white celing and guessed he was in a hospital. He tried to sit down and after some pain he did. He then saw his arms and was schocked. They were all stiched up. His chest wasn't better, it was full of stiches all connected were his heart is.
"Naru-Nii!" Naruto listen and was tackled by a crying Mito. "I thought that you were going to die!" Mito sobbed. When Naruto surpased his shock he patted her head and said "Don't worry Mito, Your Nii-san is really thought." That brought a smile to her face.
"Naru-Chan!" Then he was tackled by Kushina "Are you hurt? In pain? Are you-" "I'm fine Kaa-chan, just need some space to breath." Naruto told her and she release him from the hug he was.
"Bad luck you didn't die." That was Menma from the door. "Menma!" Kushina said "Yeah, that just means I'm stronger than you." Naruto said to his younger brother who just growled and left. "Menma come back here!" Kushina said going after Menma.
"KuKuKu, You really worried us Naruto-kun." That voice brought a smile to Naruto face "Orochimaru-Sensei!" The man walked next to Naruto and naruto lowered his face. "I'm sorry sensei. I did exactly what you told me I shouldn't." Orochimaru just patted his head and said "Don't worry Naruto-kun, the important is that you're safe." The smile returned.
"Besides I got good news, I am officially your sensei." Orochimaru said and Naruto smile transformed into a grin. "Really!?" "Yes, and we got too much to do; Discover your elemental affinity, sign a contract learn a Jutsu-" "Two new Jutsu, Sasuke gave me an Uchiha Jutsu as a present." Naruto informed and Orochimaru smirked "Then we got a lot to do."
"I'm going to teach you a lot."
And done! That is chapter 1 and I decided to use honorifics. Finnaly Naruto got the Jioungu and his training began. By the way, Naruto is going to be strong, but I will try to not make it overpowered. That's all, till next time.
