Konohagakure, The Village Hidden in The Leaves or just Konoha for simplicity, was celebrating. What were they celebrating might you ask? Well they were celebrating the fourth year after the defeat of the Kyuubi no Kitsune or the nine-tailed demon fox at the hands of the Yondaime Hokage or Fourth Fire Shadow. The streets were filled with people celebrating, dancing, eating and drinking; everyone seemed to be part of the fun aside from those on duty protecting the village.
Everyone that is, but one. A young four year old boy with the name Naruto Uzumaki, who was recently kicked out of the orphanage at a tender age of three and a half years old, was running and looking for somewhere to hide. He looked behind him to see the mob that was steadily growing as more and more drunken civilians and ninja alike joined in the now yearly fox hunt, all the while screaming out insults and threats to the young Uzumaki's health.
"AAAHH!" screamed out Naruto as a kunai lodged itself in his calf, before he then ripped it out taking a large chunk out of his leg, issuing another scream into the frenzied night air.
Looking back once again he noticed he had passed an open fenced gate with a sign on it that he couldn't read from this angle but more importantly, the large mob had stopped and was now hurling insults towards him. So he ran further into the forest wishing to hide away until his injuries healed and he could safely go and see Hokage-jiji the next day.
After a few hours walking and hearing the sounds of massive beasts crashing through the undergrowth, Naruto decide to find a cave to stay safe and wait out the night. Looking around he noticed one which was relative close, just a few feet shy of a dozen.
Quickly entering the cave, hunkered down in the furthest corner of the cave not noticing how fragile the ground was, which upon lying upon quickly gave way to large drop in the ground, hitting his head on the way down young Naruto had no idea how much he had changed his future and the rest of the shinobi world.
"Urgh…what hit me?" Naruto asked out loud pushing himself up off the smooth metallic floor …Smooth? …Metallic? Quickly pushing himself off the ground and jumping to his feet he quickly looked around taking note of the room which he had accidently entered.
First thing he saw was a huge statue, at least twenty five feet high, the figure was coated in some strange sort of armour but the weirdest thing was the two horn looking things coming out of the figures armoured helm. Up next came the balcony area filled with trees and off statues that he couldn't get a good look at. After that was the floating eye ball that was coloured a dark grey hovering in front of his face humming to itself as it watched him. Next….wait a sec…floating eye ball?
"Hello."
"AHHHHH!" screamed Naruto as he quickly ran around the statue.
"Please wait I mean no harm to you young #bzzt# fleshy bag of water #bzzt#...oh my..."
Naruto quickly saw a door and ran towards not caring that the floating orb was slowly chasing him as it quickly followed him, again humming as it bobbed along after him. Naruto ran passing through multiple rooms not really paying attention until he came to a dead end room.
Quickly looking around for somewhere to hide he noticed the slightly human shaped pod in the room surround by a strange scythe and several other weapons he didn't recognise on podiums around the pod. Walking up towards the pod he brushed his hand over the face and was answered with a hiss as gases escaped from the seals on the pod.
Quickly walking backwards, Naruto watched as the doors to the pod opened up revealing a tall figure covered in strange organic armour, large pauldron's that headed towards the figures chest, thick thigh armour. The figures helmet had what looked like a long nose and what looked like a dotted grill around the mouth area, oddly enough towards the back of the figure in-between the it's legs was tail which was wider towards the end. The entire armour was coloured black with red highlights and red glowing areas on his arms and legs.
"Ah operator, you have been awakened," spoke a voice behind Naruto.
"Shadow, it's good to hear from you again. How long was I in stasis?" the armoured figure spoke as he walked out of the pod and started his way towards Naruto.
"Roughly twenty millennium give or take a few centuries," was the reply.
"Very well, now little one what's your name?" The armoured figure asked as he knelt in front of Naruto seeming to peer straight into his eyes.
"N…Na...Naruto Uzu...Uzumaki, sir," was the shy reply from the small four year old. "Might I ask who or what you are?"
"Hahaha of course little one, my name is Pheron and I am one of the last of a warrior race called Tenno" replied the now named Pheron. "Anyway little one don't you have a home to go to?"
"No I was kicked out of the orphanage a few months ago and have been ever since."
"Well why don't I adopt you? I plan on restarting my clan I just need to ask for land to place my dojo," Pheron asked his helmet now retracting as he spoke to reveal an average face with dark brown nearly black hair, slightly tanned skin, brown eyes with red flecks and a slit for a pupil.
"Re…really? You want to adopt me? But everyone calls me 'demon brat' or just demon."
"Of course, I'll even train you in my arts or at least until you choose a frame"
Naruto couldn't believe his luck, first he was being chased and quite possibly going to killed but now he had a clan and a father as well and he was going to be trained to be a 'Tenno' and if his dad was anything to look at it was going to be cool, so he did what any other four year old would do. He fainted.
Chuckling at his now adopted son, he scooped him up into his arms and started walking to his liset, his helmet starting to cover his face again.
"Come on Shadow, we got a clan to start up and no doubt a leader to talk to about grounds to build on."
"Of course sir, I have taken time to calculate what Warframe young Naruto would suit him but it seems like none of the known will truly suit him much like you operator," Shadow said as bobbed along after his master and creator.
"Hmm, a tricky one huh well start ideas for a new type of Warframe to suit him, but start after we found a home," Pheron ordered as they boarded his personal liset. Placing Naruto in comfortable position and area, Pheron quickly moved to the controls and launched the small transport vessel, following the excavated cave that Shadow had kept clear for when he awoke.
"Now let's go find us a leader."
Sandaime Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi was worried, the fox festival was over and Naruto was not found. He had ANBU teams searching the village and the area around it but so far there was nothing.
Walking up to the window which overlooked the village he wondered where the young blond was, smiling sadly as he looked at the face of the Yondaime on the Hokage monument. Slowly turning away he noticed a speck coming from the direction training ground 44 was and said speck was getting larger.
Interest piqued he stared at it until it grew too big to be a bird.
"ANBU, TO ME!" He yelled out before throwing off his Hokage robes and jumped out of the window in his battle attire into the courtyard, flaring his chakra.
The speck eventually turned into some flying vessel that was expelling energy from four ports in the corners, strange tail like attachments near the back flared out to slow the vessel down until it came to a stop a few feet above the ground. Hissing sounds rang around the filling courtyard as people came to see what was happening or in the case of the shinobi and kunoichi, they stood ready to defend the village from what ever came out of the craft.
Eventually two figures and a floating ball came out, the smaller one of the two easily recognised.
"Hey Jiji, look what I found and he's my new Tou-san!" came the shout of the pariah of the village.
