Naruto's Past
The girls were relaxing in the hot springs when Kaede's aunt Anko stepped in to the baths "I better warn you girls because I'm betting no one else has; but Naruto's godfather uses the area for research" Anko said as she dipped into the relaxing hot water "What kind of research?" Asuna asked. "The kind that is likely to get himself knocked out with" Anko said "WHAT?" the girl screamed before they lowered into the water.
Jiraiya was saddened by the lost of material to research when Kakashi came up to him "Jiraiya, I think what needs to be told, needs to be told to them" Kakashi said. "I don't know Kakashi, I think its Naruto's decision not ours" Jiraiya said. "But it needs to be shared" Kakashi said "I know but who knows what will happen if we do tell them" Jiraiya said. "Hopefully they better understand why Naruto's the way he is" Kakashi said "Or it could drive a wedge between them, remember Naruto's already been betrayed before" Jiraiya said "I remember, I was one of the ones there on that day" Kakashi said. "Anyway the girls have left. I suggest you don't tell them" Jiraiya said leaving "What did he mean don't tell us about Naruto's past?" Setsuna asked as her and the rest of Ala Alba overheard them "and what did you mean he was betrayed?" Ayaka asked. "I know I shouldn't but; Naruto's life hasn't a cake walk" Kakashi said.
It started off on the night of the nine tailed fox's attack; in other words Naruto first day alive was when it all happened to him. The first horror was that inflicted to him: The loss of his parents. Kushina Uzumaki was the previous Jinchuuriki for the Kyuubi and her seal was weakening thanks to her pregnancy. The third Hokage's wife and another midwife lost their lives helping her give birth all because of an ancient threat: Madara Uchiha, he managed to weaken the seal, unleash the Kyuubi and near raised Konoha to the ground Kakashi said to them showing the images that went with his words. "Monster" Setsuna said as tear slid down her cheeks. "If we ever meet this ball of scum I'm going to let him have it with both barrels" Yuna said as they then saw the cloak figure throw Naruto up and the event that happen after. "NO!" Ayaka shouted "He's okay" Chisame said calming Ayaka down. His father went on and fought Madara and sealed the fox away.
After that the next thing that happened to him was three years later a week after his third birthday. A major party had just happened. It was a celebration of a treaty with the sand village. Unknown to us Madara had hired a Sand Assassin to kill Naruto and reclaim his title as master of the nine tailed fox. And he nearly succeeded, if it wasn't for what happened next. Kakashi said.
The corrupted Sand Assassin was stalking Naruto who was happily walking along the market stalls, unaware of what was happening behind him. The assassin drew a blade dipped in a very potent poison that was created from King Cobra and Scorpion venom, mixed with deadly nightshade. It was so strong the average adult would die within ten minutes of administration of the poison. A child never stood a chance to live. The assassin stabbed Naruto in the arm. The pain he felt was indescribable, I guess the closet way to describe it is like somebody injecting molten rock into a person's veins; that's how much it burned. Naruto started to black out still screaming. An hour later Naruto was still screaming indicating he was alive; he was placed in hospital for three weeks as the poison was flushed out of his system.
"Who gave me the antidote?" Konoka asked. "That is what's interesting; the last person I would expect to save him did; Danzo Shimura the man after his mother saved his life. I only found out later that the real Danzo was on a mission; so on conclusion I can only speculate that it was someone who the village didn't want within its walls" Kakashi said "So who did really save him?" Kaede asked. "A mystery that has yet too be solved" Kakashi said "Now the next memory I have of Naruto's past may be one of the hardest to view, if you don't want to look then I insist that you don't I'm not forcing you to look" Kakashi said as the next memory started.
"It can't be!" Kaede said "Not this one again!" Setsuna said concerned. "You've seen this before?" Kakashi asked "That is how we knew of the hardships Naruto faced" Yue said. He looked over at those who were confused. "This was the day Naruto was betrayed by a dear friend of his" Kakashi said.
It started off with Naruto and his friend Yamiko. The two were unrepeatable. Anyway Yamiko took a kunai and looked at Naruto before slashing four marks on her arms. Naruto looked confused as to why she did this and her answer was 'Because I wanted to do this since I found out my mother was a widow because of you; HELP THE MONSTER ATTACKED ME!' Yamiko screamed as the adults around her saw her clutching her arm as Naruto looked around confused. On that day he first saw the open hatred that the villagers gave him.
Kaede saw the whole thing and rushed off to get me, while she was gone they attacked Naruto ruthlessly, pinning him down with serrated edge kunai and striking him with stones and shuriken; soon he was hit with a glass bottle in the chest. After an hour of beating him they left. But something happened on that day that neither of us would forget Arika came and healed Naruto and protected him from a drunken ANBU warrior until I got there and talked to her. And that was the second worse event that happened to him; his first near death experience and certainly not his last.
The girls were all in tears and trying to cheer each other up "How sad" Makie said "It's not all bad. He did have some good time in fact, I think you'll like this next one" Kakashi eye smiled. "What is it?" Setsuna asked. "One of his biggest pranks, he pulled on the village. "A prank?" Fuka and Fumika asked. "Oh great" Chisame muttered.
It was a sunny day in Konoha and the beginning of Naruto's final year at the academy and he decided to start off with a big bang, and I literally mean a big bang; The knucklehead at the time had snuck into teh arsenal and stole some low level explosive tags and had added them to the handles of his class' collection of kunai for throwing practice. "I'm going to enjoy the look of teme's face when his kunai exploded in his face, ha, ha, ha, ha!" Naruto laughed at practice cam up and the class walked outside, "Uchiha, Sasuke you're up" Iruka said as Sasuke picked up a rigged kunai and added chakra to it, about to release it blew up singing him "SASUKE KUN!" Sakura cried. Soon Kiba, Shikamaru, Ino, Sakura and Iruka had handled the rigged kunai "I don't understand how they could explode they're brand new" Iruka said until he put the pieces together and turned to his students "Class, thanks to Naruto, class will be in an extended recess until I can sort out his mess, again so take a break go home and study up on kunai defensive techniques and meet back here in an hour, everyone but Naruto; he'll help me out considering he knows which ones are which" Iruka said glaring at the sheepish student.
"Classic" the twins said as the memory trip ended. "He's had a tough life but along the way he had soem fun" Kakashi said opening his orange book "Um, Uncle Kakashi is that what I think it is?" Kaede asked "No" Kakashi bluffed "So it's not Jiraiya's bestselling book Icha Icha paradise?" Kaede asked "Um...no" Kakashi said as his niece held out her hand and received the book from him "Rats" Kakashi cursed.
Naruto had a new dilemma on his hands "What will they think when they see this place?" Naruto asked as he threw out a ramen cup "So this is the famous Uzumaki Estates, an apartment in the western sector" Asuna said surprising the blonder Jinchuriki "A-Asuna, I suppose you know my secret now I don't live at me dad's estate, I live here" Naruto said "So why the need to lie to us, if you said I live in an apartment, then we'd be fine with it, I mean it looks like the dorms back at Mahora" Asuna said "Actually the dorms at Mahora are slightly bigger than this, but I live here because it save my life one day." Naruto said "How?" Asuan asked.
IT was when I was about five at the time, a mob of drunken ninjas were out looking for trouble and found me, I ran the first time I saw them "Hey look a moving target" one of them slurred so I ran into a building not knowing what was in it. "Hoi! What are you doing in here?" a gruff yet kind voice asked me, "I'm being chased" I answered. He smiled at me and took me up stairs to this very apartment while he tok rid of teh ninjas and summoned the third Hokage. A deal was made so I would stay here and be protected from any who wanted to harm me.
"Naruto you home?" a gruff yet kind voice asked "Come in Kuma" Naruto laughed at the apartment manager walked in "Hope I'm not interrupting but your mail came in so I got it for you" Kuma laughed "Kuma meet Asuna, Asuna meet Kuma" Naruto said "A pleasure ma'am" Kuma said "So I supposed you were telling her about our first meeting hey?" Kumamaru said "Did he tell you he also worked here instead of rent, hm?" Kuma asked. "What? You work here instead of paying the rent?" Asuna asked "Yep why don't you take her up and show her your work" Kuma said "Come on Asuna" Naruto said as Kuma left.
"Whoa you did all this?" Asuna asked seeing the rooftop garden Naruto had tended and replanted for many years "Yeah, no one knows I like gardening so much, a secret hobby if you will" Naruto said watering the plants and placing some seed out for the birds "It's beautiful here I can see you come up here" Asuna said smiling "I think Setsuna might like it" Asuna said walking towards the door "Where are you going?" Naruto asked. "To get Setsuna" she replied. "Sure why not" Naruto said.
"Wow" Setsuna gasped "Yep welcome to my rooftop garden," Naruto said "And my apartment" Naruto said "Why didn't you want me to see this, are you embarrassed about this place?" Setsuna asked "Kind of, its not a glamorous house or cosy cottage. It's an apartment building" Naruto answered "Naruto, I don't about the kind of housing just as long as you're there I'm happy" Setsuna said kissing him.
