Due to a freakish demand for more chapters for Phoenix,
(Seriously it's my story with most favorites, follows, reviews, etc)
I will be writing this chapter a little earlier just to satisfy you all.
I was planning on writing a Death's successor chapter tonight, but whatever
Enjoy.
Naruto was huddling close to himself and shaking back and forth in his room. His eyes were focused on the hole in his pillow. His eyes were wide open and bloodshot. Naruto might pride himself privately over that fact that he thought he could handle killing anyone, but in truth he couldn't. He didn't know why the fact that he could kill so easily so hard. His strange flames could kill in a single punch. It scared him. Tears flowed in tiny rivers across the slopes of his puffy cheeks as dark thoughts passed his mind. He wouldn't want to be considered a murderer. His parents would hate him even more!
Naruto grit his teeth in a grim frown as he rolled back and forth, practically crushing his legs under the force of his grip. Naruto's eyes suddenly shadowed and an insane smile came to his face. (Don't worry about this becoming an Insane or Dark Naruto story. He will revert back to his normal self once he meets his tenant.) He couldn't become a murderer if he was dead. His body shook as he reached his hand under his mattress to grab the hidden kunai he had there in case an intruder ever tried to assassinate him. His Dad was the Fourth Hokage. Naruto prepared to rip open his jugular vein before his vision went dark and his conscious receded into a seal that no one knew he had.
Mindscape.
Naruto found himself falling in an endless darkness, his arms and legs flailing above him while his hair was all blown forward. He felt the wind blowing all around him, in spaced-out powerful gusts. (Can you figure out why the gust are spaced out?) He could see nothing. He couldn't even see his arms or legs. It was literally darkness. He tilted his head slowly to look at the ground, finding a ring of deep red flames and a large wooden pole in the middle, a branch on the side as if it were a tree. Naruto closed his eyes and accepted his fate. However it didn't come.
Naruto opened his eyes before closing them quickly as a brilliant white light engulfed wherever he was. He couldn't feel the wind anymore, all he could feel was soft but stern big, things underneath him. He turned over onto his stomach before getting up onto his hands and knees. Beneath him was a brilliant white flame-engulfed feather. But, the feather was easily the size of a house! (Do you think I'm making his tenant too big? I mean he is an ancient and extremely powerful being that is older than the Kyuubi…)
He stroke it slowly, entranced by it's beauty. For a second he was stupid enough to think that he was floating on the feather, slowly and gracefully flowing down to the ground until a giant blow of wind hit him in the face, nearly knocking him over had he not gripped the beautiful feather like a life raft. He raised his head an saw what seemed like an endless expanse of white in front of him, before seeing it branch off into three giant tail feathers. Turning around, he saw another expanse of white, with three giant branches.
Then Naruto realized something. There were two wings, tail feathers, and the thing he was on was engulfed in flame… There was no way that he was on what he thought he was on.
The giant thing he was on gave one giant heave before spinning quickly and tunneling in a spiral towards the ground, more specifically the giant wooden structure. Naruto screamed bloody murder as he and the giant thing were covered in a flaming spiral that flew behind them. The spiraling was increasing in speed, and Naruto nearly puked when all he saw was a blurry white all around him. Naruto was about to pass out when suddenly the spiraling stopped and the two huge wings spread out with a mighty and grueling "KYWAAAA!"
The giant thing gripped onto the branch continuing off the wooden structure, causing Naruto to lose his grip and fly off of the thing, tumbling to the ground and landing just outside of the fiery ring. He groaned loudly, before slowly raising his head to look at whatever had launched him off of it.
The beast was off ginormous proportions, easily bigger than the Hokage Mountain. Brilliant white flames encased it's body. Near it's legs were viscous looking claws that were off of three 4 curled finger-like toes. Giant wings were curled and hugged to it's body, fluttering because of the flight it just made as the beast settled down. When Naruto's eyes landed on it's head his mouth dropped.
A beak sprouted out and curved downwards, a gunmetal gray color. Around it was a rounded head with large, noble eyes staring down at Naruto, glaring into his soul. They were a fiery luminescent blue, brighter than Naruto's own eyes. The beast took a deep breath, it's long neck curling so it could still look at Naruto before leaning forward and opening it's mouth and yelling a shrill "KYWAAAAAAAAAA!" At Naruto, making his hair blow all over the place and for Naruto's body to nearly go flying, had the beast not willed the fire to bend around him and keep him in place.
The beast returned to it's previous position, before almost smiling to Naruto, its eyes softening and giving him a caring look over. "Young one, do you know who I am?" It spoke, it's voice booming and graceful, a sincere care in its voice. Naruto shook his head slowly, jaw on the floor and his eyes widened and un-closing. The beast chuckled before speaking again.
"I am a Kodai no bi! (I Believe that this is the correct Japanese translation for Ancient Beauty) I am a beast older than the 9-Tailed Fox! I am The Howaitobuririansu! (White Brilliance) Master of The Flight Fire! I am Kodachi!" The beast roared. "And, young one, I am one of the last Phoenixes alive today." The creature, which Naruto now knew as Kodachi the Phoenix, finished with a smirk at Naruto shocked face as it lost all color.
"Wh-H-A-Sa-I Don-Huh?" Naruto questioned, his head tilting to the side with a stupid look on his face. Kodachi shook his hand, raising his wing to fold it over his head in an exasperated manner. "Is this a dream!?" Naruto finally yelled at Kodachi, who began to laugh wildly. "No young one! Hahaha! We are in your mindscape. A place that could be considered your subconscious, though it's really just an empty abyss that is currently being filled by me… Anyway, as I said I am Kodachi, one of the few phoenixes that are still alive. And you, young one," Kodachi leaned forward so that his beak was a few feet away from Naruto, "Are my chosen." He spoke cryptically, confusing Naruto.
"Chosen?" Naruto questioned the giant beast. He was still very confused about how this amazing phoenix was in his subconscious, but he didn't care. He was speaking to a real phoenix! He was so excited he was shaking a little, though he tried to stop as best he could. Kodachi chuckled at the child's shaking, before narrowing his eyes and focusing on Naruto. "Yes, my chosen. I have chosen you to carry on my legacy, to become a Phoenix. All in due time however. For now, you will be trained in our ways and will become one of the worlds strongest, what was it you humans call it? Ninja? Yea, I believe that is the word. You will become one of the strongest ninja in the world. Be wary however, some of the very few Phoenixes still alive today beside me do not like humans. Once they discover I am sealed inside you… They will stop at nothing to kill you…"
Naruto widened his eyes in fear, before setting his jaw and narrowing his eyes in determination. "Then I will make them like humans!" He yelled up at Kodachi with fire burning in his eyes. Kodachi let a small smile grace his beak, before smiling evilly. "And to do that, you will have to go through my training." He told Naruto, who smiled determinedly and jumped up at the opportunity. He would become the man he wanted to be, one that no one could ignore.
A man stronger than the Jinchuriki.
A man defiant to the world's evil.
A man, no a beacon of light that the darkness of the world would fall to.
He would become Naruto Kodachi(A/N: He will change his name after a certain event)
A great warrior worthy of his tenant's title.
Naruto Kodachi,
The Howaitobuririansu.
(Remember Kodachi's title, the White Brilliance?)
