Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or anything related to Naruto
My name is Naruto Uzumaki, well… that what most people call me. My real name is Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, the heir to both the Uzumaki (Whirlpool) and Namikaze (Waves and Wind) clans. Only few new my real name, because my father's enemies might attack me if they knew I was a Namikaze. I live in Konoha, where the people think I'm weak, loud, annoying, useless and pathetic, but they are wrong. I hid my true skills so that others may not fear me even more because of my… condition. People fear me for what I contain, a beast made out of pure power and hatred, the beast known as the nine-tailed fox. The beast attacked Konoha on the day I was born, October the tenth, many lives were lost in the attack. My father, fourth Hokage, fought the beast but couldn't beat it. So, he had to seal the demon within me, which is why many scorn and hate me. They dishonored my father's dying wish, to let the people see me as a hero that held the demon at bay.
Because of this hatred, I was left alone, no one to watch me and protect me. at the age of three I… I don't feel like talking about…, I was beaten to near death at the age of four, I was tortured at the age of six, mobs would constantly attack me until I reached the age of eight and I had to find my food and water on the streets. I used to live in an orphanage, but I was kicked out at the age of three, so I lived on the streets for a while. While the most hate me, there are a few that see me as a human, not the beast.
The third Hokage decided to give an apartment after finding me one day and helped me with some problems, the third is like a grandfather figure to me. I only use the apartment to keep my second life a secret from people, I secretly live in my father's compound, the Namikaze compound and told me I could join the academy. He let me join the academy so I could become a good ninja… but he didn't know about my true skills, only a few did, so I am seen as the dead to most people. It's my third year there, only on more year to go before I graduate.
Now let me tell you how my life is like in a daily basis at Konoha…
Three Months After Operation Titan Fall…
Konoha, a village built on teamwork and peace. It's currently eight in the morning, people were busy getting their shops up and ready for work. Other were preparing for missions. While some were currently waking up and preparing for their third year in the academy
In the Namikaze compound, our young blond is waking up slowly, adjusting his eyes to the light of the glaring sun.
Slowly moving his way to the edge of his bed, once he accomplished this measly task, he sat on the edge look at the scene outside of his window. The compound surrounded by a forest in the back while a having multiple gardens in the front and sides. Its hidden by a special seal that makes it invisible to all and has multiple defenses to protect the people living in the compound, like a barrage of flaming shurikens and such. It also had an invisible which could alert the owner if somebody broke in or incinerate anyone that fails to break in.
Finally standing up and gently rubbing his eyes, he looked at the left of his bed and saw the crib, Atsuko Uzumaki's crib. Atsuko Uzumaki or "The sincere child of the Whirlpools", slowly reaching the age of eight months, Naruto slowly Walked towards the crib, he smiled at the sight, little Atsuko hugging a small fox plushy while sleeping. Naruto never saw a child so curious as Atsuko, she basically grabs anything that she could and plays with it. She's like a little ball of energy, she is always active and plays most of the day, which makes Naruto's job harder when trying to make her take a nap.
After checking on Atsuko, Naruto went to take a quick shower and get dressed for the academy. He wore his assassination/combat suite, he had all his weapons from his katana on the back to the hidden blades he wields. Even though he wore this, he didn't want people knowing about his other life, so he did a hand sign and said " Advanced Transformation Jutsu!". In a puff of white smoked, Naruto's clothing changed into an all-orange jump suite, his weapons also disappeared.
He picked this type of clothing to make people underestimate him some more, make him seem weaker and stupid.
When he was finished, he saw Atsuko standing and holding onto one of the ends of the crib looking at Naruto with a smile. Smiling back, he walked towards her and picked her up so he could carry her to the kitchen.
"Is my little Atsuko hungry?", Naruto asked in a playful voice
"Bababha!" Atsuko said while grabbing her father's hair
"Ouch… calm down, daddy will feed you and let you play with your toys" Naruto said to Atsuko, making her smile at him
Walking out of the room and into the hallway, he asked her if she would like to play with Aunt Honoka while he goes to the academy. This made her squeal in delight and pulling her dad's long side burns harder.
Honoka or the Nine tailed fox, is Naruto's big sister figure. She took care of Naruto when he was lonely and needed a friend to talk to. Even though she is sealed inside Naruto, he can come out and take control of one of the clones Naruto makes. Honoka resides in Naruto's mindscape, Naruto talks to him through his mental link after meeting him for the first time.
Flashback
A three year old Naruto is currently walking towards he's temporary home, a large box in the corner of a dark alley way. He is covered in cuts and bruises after a mob beating, it happened to him so many times before. Since it was his birthday he was hoping people would be nicer towards him, but they seemed to get meaner. Crawling towards the inside of the box, he grabbed the last apple he had and ate it slowly. After eating half of hit, he placed the apple back so he could finish it later. He laid on his back and faced the end of the box and curling himself into a ball. He started to cry all the pain he held within him, sadness, loneliness and hopelessness, he slowly cried and closed his eyes so that he could cry himself to sleep.
Seeing that it wasn't working he opened his eyes once again, seeing a place different from where he was before. It looked like a sewer, water flowing from an unknown source. he decided to explore a bit, he walked for a while until he saw a large cage, on the cage there is a seal with the kanji "seal" on it. At the other side of the cage, he saw a giant red fox resting with his nine tails covering him.
Walking towards the cage, mustering all the courage he could get, Naruto spoke, "Hello mister fox, my name is Naruto Uzumaki… Do you know where I am?"
The fox didn't reply for a few seconds, then it opened one of its eyes and looked at Naruto. He stared at the boy for a bit, which made it look like it was thinking about something. it closed its eyes and started to glow red, in a flash of red light, the fox disappeared and on its spot stood a woman with long red hair wearing a red dress and having nine tails waving in the back.
She opened her eyes, showing beautiful crimson red vertical slit eyes, and looked at Naruto once more, smiling she walked towards him. Naruto on the other hand was in shock and awe when the fox disappeared, but when he saw the girl walk towards him he started cowering in fear once more.
The woman was confused by this, she thought in this form he would be less afraid, but her question was answered after the boy said, "Please don't hurt me, I didn't do anything, I don't want to go back to that place again".
Naruto started crying and the woman understood what was happening, she remembered what happened to Naruto, he was tricked by a lady that acted like she wanted to help Naruto after leaving the orphanage. She brought Naruto into a dark basement and left him there for a day, no food and water, he had to sleep on the cold floor. The next day she went down and strap him unto a table while he was sleeping, he woke up and saw her beginning to experiment on him, a very painful and slow experimentation. He luckily escaped after four days of torture, after that he feared and became weary of women.
"Don't worry Kit… I'm not like that woman, I won't do things like that…" The woman stated sadly
Naruto looked at her for a bit, trying to figure out if she meant what she said or was tricking him. But ever since that faithful day, he gained a seventh sense, he could sense if people wanted to hurt or trick him. He already had a six sense, which is to find out if ramen is nearby or is ready to be eaten… Uzumaki's and their ramen addictions…
After sensing that she meant what she said, he replied" Okay…"
The woman started walking towards him and crouched in front of him. Naruto was wondering what she was going to do, he was surprised and tensed a bit when she hugged him all of a sudden.
"See, there is nothing to be afraid of…" The woman paused and continued to hug him some more, "I expect that you have a bunch of questions for me, right?", she told him
Naruto, after being surprised, looked at her once more. She was right, he had a lot of questions that needed to be answered.
"Umm… Okay… What's you name pretty lady?" Naruto asked
The woman chuckled a bit and replied "Ah, where's my manners, my name is Honoka the nine tailed fox"
Naruto's eyes widen at the revelation, so he jumped out of the girl's arms and cowered once more. Naruto started to shake out of fear and kept repeating the same words "Please don't hurt me…"
The woman sighed and wondered how she could stop Naruto from fearing her. Then an idea popped into her mind and in an instant, a bowl of ramen appeared on one of her hands.
"There is nothing to be afraid of Naruto… Look I even have a bowl of ramen for ya, it's your favorite flavor, miso ramen" The girl said, trying to persuade Naruto.
Naruto stopped and looked at her once more, he slowly crawled his way towards her. She gave the bowl to Naruto and watch him eat it hesitantly. But after checking it, he ate it quickly and smiled at her saying thank you
"No problem, now that your less afraid of me, you can continue to ask me questions" Honoka stated, Naruto began to think about what to ask her.
"Um… where am I and why am I here?" Naruto asked with a bit more confidence while forgetting that she is the nine tailed fox
"We are in your mind or mindscape, and you are hear because we need to discuss a few things", Honoka replied
Naruto looked at her questionably and asked "why are you in my mind?"
"Your question will be answered soon Naruto, that is why you are here" Honoka stated. "Now to answer your question, I must asked one too, do you know what happened on the night when the fox attacked?"
"My hero, the fourth Hokage fought and defeated the fox!" Naruto exclaimed proudly, because he always wanted to be like the fourth, brave and strong.
The woman looked at him and frowned, she doesn't know how he would react to the news but he had the right to know… "Naruto… That story is a lie…"
Naruto looked at her surprised once more, "What do you mean?"
"The fourth couldn't kill the me, because I am made out of pure chakra, so the only way he could 'Defeat' it is by sealing it into a newborn baby…"
Naruto looked at her, confused by what she meant, then it hit him. Remembering that she was the nine tailed fox, why she was in his mind, why he was hated and punished for no reason at all. It all lead back to his birthday, October 10, the day the fox attacked…
That baby was him…
"Why" he asked while he began to cry, "Why did the fourth seal the fox in me…. Why did I have to go through all of this pain…"
"Because… He wanted you to learn how to use my power… and because he couldn't ask another family to sacrifice a child, so he had to use his own…"
Now that surprised Naruto the most, him being the son of his idol! But he felt betrayed that his own father would put his own son through such things
"He believed you could change the world, he had so much faith in you, believing you could make the world better with my power… Before he died he wanted you to be seen as the hero that held me at bay… He didn't want to live this way, it was the civilians fear of me being released that gave you pain and loneliness" Honoka confessed
Naruto's mind was going through many emotions; happiness, sadness, fear, anger, confusion… He didn't know what to fell, but he was brought out of his thoughts after the woman spoke…
The woman frowned, knowing this was all his pain was because of her, "Sorry… it was my fault they hated you… "she started to cry "I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you… I'm sorry"
How could this be the nine-tailed fox? That couldn't be right… she is to kind and friendly to be it… that's what Naruto thought. He stood up and walked towards the girl and hugged her. The was surprised by this, she didn't expect the boy to do such a thing, especially what he had heard and been through
"I forgive you…" Naruto said gently, while hugging her tightly. This shocked the girl, why should he forgive her? She wanted to know…
"Why?... Why do you forgive me after all things you been through…" asked while crying some more
"Because it sounded like there's more to the story than what your telling me, you really meant that you were sorry too and why should I hate others… It won't get me anywhere, only continue hatred" He told her, "I never give up no matter what I been through, because that's my nindo… My Ninja way!" He exclaimed proudly.
The woman stared at the boy with wide eyes, she was awed by his proclamation and seriousness about it. She never meet somebody so pure, kind and strong willed like him before
"Thank you…" She said while drying her eyes
"No problem Honoka-neechan!" Naruto stated, making the girl look at him once more
"Not that I mind but… why did you call me neechan?" Honoka questioned
"Well…" Naruto started to rub the back of his head sheepishly, "I always wanted a big sister…"
"Hmm, okay Naruto-ototo"She said smiling at him
Naruto hugged her some more and asked her one last question "Hey neechan your strong right… can you help me make my dad proud by training me?
Honoka started to think about and decided to help him, "Why not, but you're going have to train hard and eat healthier foods than ramen... "
Flash Back End
Reaching the kitchen, he placed Atsuko on her high chair. He created some clones to start making him breakfast and he, the original, brought some mashed bananas and started feeding her.
"Open wide Atsuko, the quicker you eat the more time you could play ~" Naruto stated playfully, while trying to feed her
"Bwaba", Little Atsuko said while taking in a spoonful of mashed bananas, Naruto smiled at that
After feeding her, the clone came back with a plate of bacons and eggs. Before he ate he carried Atsuko to the living room and placed her down in a large playpen. After doing so he moved himself to the center of the living room and started doing hand signs. He slammed his palm down and said "Summoning Jutsu: Honoka!", then a puff of white smoked covered the area. The smoke slowly disappeared and at the center of it stood Honoka in her human form.
She instantly disappeared from her summon spot and reappeared in front of the playpen with Atsuko in her hands.
"Did little Atsuko-Chan me?" Honoka said as she tickled her a bit, which made little Atsuko giggle
Naruto smiled at the little scene in front of him. He walked back into the kitchen and started eating his breakfast.
After finishing he went to the sink and cleaned his plate and the bowl his used to feed Atsuko. When he was finished, he walked back towards the living room once more, to say his goodbyes before he left to go to the academy.
He saw Atsuko in her play pen, trying to build something out of blocks while giving some of it to Honoka, whom is watching her attentively and participating.
He walked towards them and said "I got to go or I'll be late, take care of little Atsu-Chan for me Honoka-nee"
"Don't worry ill make sure nothing bad happens to Atsu-Chan here" She said smiling at Naruto, which he smiled back
"And you better behave little girl or daddy Is going to tickle you as a punishment" Naruto stated to Atsuko who was watching him in wonder. "I'll give you a demonstration of what this punishment is like ~" he said playfully before he started tickling her, which made her laugh.
He stopped his attack after a few seconds and went towards a seal on the wall with the kanji of "Apartment". he turned around one last time to say something to his little girl, whom looked sad at him leaving "Don't worry Atsu-Chan daddy will be back before dinner time"
After stating that he disappeared in a white light, leaving a dark mist on the floor…
