Koharu: Wow! You liked my fic! I'm so happy! Anyway I did get some complaints about the names I picked, and agreed with them. Also a name couldn't be decided for the end poll was thus
Edna: 0
Garnet: 4
Ruby: 0 (I had liked this name because of Lunar 2)
Cinder: 4
Flame: 2
Alex: 1
In the end I decided to look in my Eragon Book (Actually I looked at Elders) if your mom is an English teacher never leave your good books lying around she'll spirit them away to her class room for her students to read. Anyway I googled Eleven Languages and decided what the name should be which you'll find out in this chapter, there might be another poll at the end of this chapter I'm not too sure. As for pairing that's still pending (I'm a big sucker for romance fics/stories lol) however I will not nor will I ever write a NaruSaku, a NaruHina (Hinata is too shy it annoys me), NaruOc, I enjoy reading those rare pairing they make fics interesting in my opinion. I am willing to do a SasuNaru, NaruIno (Ino once you get passed the Sasuke obsession she a fun character to write with), GaaNaru, NaruTen, NaruNeji, KibaNaru, and NaruTem.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto for if I did I would so be sitting in Kakashi's lap.
The Dragon's Flight:
New Life
Naruto's head felt heavy, his left hand stung with pain, slowly he cracked open his eyes, and forced himself to sit up, taking a look at the hand in question he was surprised to see an strange silver color marking had appeared on it. Slowly with his good hand he run a figure over it, he marveled at the strange marking; a weird fuzzy feeling began to stir inside the back of his head, it felt like a feeling, but not his own feeling, it was hunger. Naruto slowly got to his feet, a little wobbly, gently rubbed his forehead, and focused his eyes on the bright red blur that now sat on his table, rubbing his eyes he looked again a little more clearly.
There right in front on of him, Naruto almost didn't trust his eyes, red gleaming scales, tiny wings, a long slander body, eyes as blue as his own, and standing about the same height as a regular house cat was the baby dragon. Naruto mouth hung opened, as he tried to find his voice "h…hello?" Those fuzzy feelings washed over his head again, that same hungry feeling, Naruto eyes the dragon and turned once more the blank book. Once more he made his way over to the book and opened it again surprised to see that this time around it had words and pictures all over it, in awe his eyes skimmed over the first chapter happily.
The baby red dragon just stared, as the boy before it read; however, all it cared about was getting something to eat, the tiny dragon got to it's feat and walked over to the blond boy, more particular the hand that lay on before it. It flicked it long tongue out and licked at the boy's wriest, the hand just batted it away, not to be ignored; the tiny creature slowly opened its mouth and then "Ouch!" Naruto yelped and held his now bleeding hand "ok, ok I get it your hungry!" leaving the book Naruto ran to his kitchen and pulled out a packet of ramen and brought it over to the dragon "sorry it all I have till I find out what you eat" he opened the packet and crushed the ramen in baby dragon sized morsels.
Naruto laid the food in front of the dragon, which began to eat what was placed in front of it. The fuzzy feeling came back, this time it wasn't hunger it felt different, it felt grateful, Naruto just continued to look at the dragon "this fuzzy thing…is this…is this" he was almost scared to ask fearing he would not get answer "Is this feeling your? Why is there a strange mark on my hand?" the dragon said nothing it only eat the bits of ramen. Naruto feeling frustrated went back to the book and continued to read for hours.
Later that evening Naruto sat at his table reading intently, the dragon had taken up to sitting on his shoulder, the young boy was so engrossed with his book, he failed to see the sun was setting till felt his own eyes drift into slumber. Shaking him self awake he continued to read, he wanted to know everything he could about his new dragon friend, whom he now realized had no name! Shifting his eyes over, blue met blue, Naruto smiled thinking how the tiny creature's eyes reminded him of the ocean; he chuckled when the dragon tried to breathe fire that only came out as a tiny spark and puff of smoke. A name surfaced to his head the he remembered reading about, the dragon keeper Asha and his dragon partner "Aidan…tiny flame" a soothing feeling washed over him, Naruto knew, he knew Aidan like her new name he could feel it, some how, sleep finally clamed him as whispered "goodnight Aidan…" he swore he heard in side his head a reply "goodnight Naruto"
The days seemed to fly, Naruto only got closer to Aidan, and his mind became more open to hers; Aidan seemed to have doubled in size, she stood about the same height as Naruto. Today Aidan watched as Naruto franticly ran around his apartment gathering various things "Why the hurry?" Naruto had gotten used to hearing Aidan's voice inside his head; he smiled and replied "Today I start Ninja Academy! I'm going to be the next Hokage! This could also be the best time to make new friends! Then we won't be alone anymore Ai-chan!" he hugged the dragon around its neck, careful not to touch the spikes that sprouted three days ago.
Stepping away Naruto turned toward the door "Now remember Aidan, stay here I don't think anyone is ready to see you yet, you're my secret friend and don't them to take you away!" the dragon snorted inside his head "Naruto not even a hoard of ninken could drag me away! You and I share a special link Naruto, a bond that makes us family; when you become a ninja, we will fight together always" Naruto dared not turn and face Aidan as he wiped a tear from his check, to hear such kind words from anyone made his heart and soul soar with such joy that warmth flooded his body like an inferno, he wiped away the tears and walked out the door, a real smile on his face.
A skip in his step, and a smile on his, Naruto ran towards the academy at full speed; today, he felt so alive, he ignored all the hateful glares, all the horrible names. When he thought of Aidan all the pain went away, he looked up ahead as he approached the Ninja Academy; he should have looked forward as a sudden foot tripped the young child "heh and you want to go to the Ninja Academy! A clumsy demon like you can never make even a decent ninja!" laughter rang off around him, Naruto just smiled and stood proudly "I'm not going to be a decent Ninja; I'm going to be the best Ninja! I'm going to be the next Hokage!" with that said he rushed towards the Academy holding back tears.
Naruto entered the class room he was assigned too, and took a seat in the front row; at the time no one was there, so he took out his book, and began to read a smile on his face. Iruka walked in the room to see this sight and smiled, he loved seeing that real smile on Naruto's face "Hey Naruto, aren't you a little early?" Naruto shook his head not even bothering to look up from his book; he was rereading the eleven langue section, Iruka chuckled and sat at his desk waiting for the rest of his new class to show up.
It wasn't long before other children showed up, Naruto greeted every one of them; sadly however, they ignored him and mumbled to each other how their parents had said what a bad boy the blond was. Naruto was trying his hardest not the let the words get to him, he kept to his book. Naruto kept reading all through class, only half listening to what Iruka-sensei said, and half ignoring the jeers the other kids made at him, each cold cruel word from the mouths of his class mates was like another twist of a knife in his heart. Iruka didn't even noticed Naruto's pain and kept teaching the rest of the class on chakra, history, basic math, and basic survival skills.
When class let out for lunch, and recess Naruto clung his book closely to his chest and walked over to a large Oak Tree the stood off to the side and sat down. He watched as everyone played with everyone else, water welling up in his eyes "don't cry Naruto" Immediately Naruto's eyes widened he knew that voice, whispering in his head "Aidan? Are you here?" He started looking around for any sign of his red scaled friend, but saw nothing "Naruto I'm still at home; however, I feel your pain even here at such great distance. Don't cry Naruto, when we get stronger, will show this whole village that you are good, we will make them recognize you, and you will be the next Hokage!" Naruto smiled at Aidan encouragement. He put down his book and pulled out a different one "Aidan we need to get stronger, but how?" was the question he sent through their link a soft chuckle ran threw his head and Aidan voice once more spoke "Don't you remember? Even the book it says thus 'To train the mind you must train the body' why don't we find someone to tech you Taijutsu?" Naruto thought for a moment about this, who did he know that would tech him hand to hand combat?
When class was called back in Naruto had contemplated this question for a while; he stopped short in front of Iruka "Iruka-sensei, does Konoha have a Taijutsu master?" Iruka frowned, but answered none the less "Yes, his name is Maito Gai" the young boy only nodded in response and sat back at his desk.
After school Naruto had a mission, find this Maito Gai and beg for training. The young boy began his search at all the training ground; sadly, he was once more faced with adversity as he went from training ground to training ground, kunais and other weapons were hurled at him. Wounded and hurt he kept on going, determined to search until it was tomorrow morning for this Maito-san "I won't give up! I have to find this person, I have to train hard!" with this statement he kept searching leaving the training grounds to search the forest area were upper level ninjas went, ignoring the warning signs that were posted around the area. He made his way through the under brush of the forest, Naruto wiped sweat from his forehead, and focused his eyes in front of him, for some reason the forest was extremely hot, forcing air into his tired lungs Naruto moved forward; suddenly, the very next step he took sent him falling into a deep hole in the ground.
Landing painfully on his ankle he let out a pained screamed, Naruto looked up at the mouth of the hole, he went to stand only to fall down in agonizing pain shooting up from his right ankle, once more making him howl in pain. The tears Naruto held back broke through, and they ran down his face like two twin rivers, his body was covered in cuts, and now his ankle was most likely broken, thoughts ran through his head 'what's going to happen if someone finds me? I won't be able to run away if the attack! Am I going to die here? Why does everybody hate me?' he cried until his tear mad him fall asleep. As his eyes close a shadow loomed over him "poor kid, so this is him eh? Someone really needs to take care of those wounds might as well be me" the shadow flew down and scooped up the boy and disappered not even leaving a sign it had been thier.
