Gakuen Alice: Naruto!
I do not own Gakuen Alice or Naruto. They belong to Tachibana Higuchi and Masashi Kishimoto respectively. Any Anime, Manga, or Game influences are also not mine. I only own this idea.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(October 10th, 118 years after Village Creation. AKA, "VC")
(Still in Flashback mode)
"D-don't you dare touch her! If you do… I'll kill you!" Was all Naruto said as he stood up, bracing himself on the way. Suddenly his shadow seemingly jumped from his body and grew against the wall he leaned against.
One of the men, Akai, looked as if he wet himself.
"B-Bakemono! (Monster) Stay away!" Akai shouted, seeing Naruto's shadow grow and move about independently. His hair grew downward, but kept it's unruly spikes. Although, no longer was it his usual bright blond color. It was now a dark gray-like purple. His whisker marks completely un-effected. Was worse were his eyes… Those terrible, blood-red eyes. The only black you could see was not in his pupils.. Nor even in his eyes for that matter, they were around his eyes, like a mask covering all around were the eyes go into the sockets. The "mask" looked as if it was moving, never staying in the same place for long, always shifting about like fire. It even had some white, as if the whites of his eyes, now covered in dark red, moved into the mask. The white was just like the black, never stopping, always shifting, but it never seemed to mix with the black, dancing shade, it always kept a relative distance, yet still touching.
Looking farther down, Akai and the other two, Kuroi and Chairo, saw his shoulders, which seemed to radiate the same black and white as his eye mask. The same was with his hands, which looked as if claws were on each of his finger tips.
This made their fear run even deeper.
Naruto suddenly moved, his body moved towards them at the average walking speed of an eight year old. Nothing special about his walking, other than the fact that it absolutely terrified the three men. So badly in fact, they didn't seem to think of the word 'Run'.
Just the action of movement made the men collapse, and start crying in fear.
Oddly enough, Hinata was not affected, only being somewhat frightened by the new Naruto.
Not too badly of course, just the 'what's going on' kind of fear.
Slowly, almost too slowly, in the men's perspective, Naruto reached his destination. Right in front of the men, standing on each of their shadows, all being in the same place due to their closeness and the position of the streetlights. Naruto only said five words.
"Pray the shadow's show pity."
As he said those simple words, their shadows reached up from under each of them and wrapped around them like a shifting cocoon… and dragged them down, not into concrete, but into where no man may enter un-harmed.
"The Abyss".
After the men were gone, Naruto lost the shaded flame-like additions, and fell to the ground, having no energy to keep standing.
"Naruto-kun!" Was the last thing he heard that night.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A door opening woke him up. As he opened his eyes, he was met by a blinding light, and hot, sudden pain through his muscles. This, of course, worried him a lot, fearing another attack.
Excuse me, a half remembered attack.
That's when he heard a voice.
"Naruto-kun! Are you awake?"
'Ahh, the old man. I must be in a hospital. Explains the light, and the pain.' Naruto thought as he opened his eyes again.
"Ye-yeah, I'm awake. Why am I in a hospital this time? Was it the three guys that attacked us?… Us? .. Hinata-Chan! Where is she??" Naruto shouted, getting up franticly searching the room.
"Naruto-kun, calm down! She's resting at the Hokage Tower, don't worry. I have ANBU watching her" The old man reassured.
"B-but what about the men? The were gonna hurt her! What happened to them?" The young boy asked, still shouting a bit.
"Men? All we saw when we got there were you two, and a slight chunk out of the concrete near you had collapsed. I was hoping you could shine some light on what went on." Explained the old Hokage.
"What? But three men attacked us. One guy hit me to a wall. I don't remember what happened then. I guess I passed out."
As Naruto finished talking the Hokage got up from the chair Naruto hadn't noticed he sat on.
"Well, this is quite odd. We did feel something going on, that's why we went, but nothing was there. Other than you two of course." The Hokage spoke mainly to himself.
The Hokage broke himself out of his train of thought. He had other problems.
"Naruto-kun, have you been feeling odd, or strange since you woke up?"
"Huh? Not really. It kinda still hurts, but that's about it." Naruto said, slightly confused.
"Hold on, I need to get something." Sarutobi said as he got up and went to the door.
Upon opening the door, he saw a nurse walking by.
"Excuse me! Kangofu-san." (1)
Naruto could not hear the rest, so he just relaxed on the bed, wondering what the old man wanted to get.
As there was nothing else to do, he decided to examine his surroundings, a thing, he realized, he should have done the moment he woke up. Can't be a ninja if you don't learn how to observe.
The room was quite simple. Simply an off-white room with medical equipment here and there, extra "oh, so annoying" hospital gowns in the corner, and a bathroom with a visible sink, due to the door being open.
"Gokurou, douka ki o kudasai!" (2)
Naruto suddenly looked towards the door and saw the old man opening the door.
"Ah, soro-soro shitsurei shimasu," (3) said the nurse as she started walking away.
"Kekkon ome detou!" (4) The Hokage called out chuckling.
The lady seemed startled for a second.
'How did he know? Oh, this is so embarrassing, I haven't even told my mother about that!' She thought, walking away faster, with a visible blush on her face.
"Haha, ahh, it's always fun to tease the young. They've got it good alright."
"Umm… you wanted to get something Old man?" Naruto spoke up, obviously confused and slightly annoyed at what just happened.
"Ahh, yes, here you are, I brought a mirror for you."
"Why bring me a mirror?.. Wait, my face isn't broken is it? Nooo!! My handsome, wonderful face! Now I look like Kiba don't I!?" Naruto wailed, waving his arms around comically.
Chuckling, Sarutobi set to reassure the young boy, handing him the mirror.
"No, no, your face isn't "broken", as you so delicately put it. As a matter of fact, you're not injured in any way. It's not exactly your face I'm worried about. Please, look into the mirror and see if you notice anything odd." He did so.
"Old man." Naruto spoke suddenly after a moment of looking at his reflection.
"Yes Naruto-kun?" Asked the addressed 'Old Man'.
" I have one question."
"Ask away."
".. Why is my hair GRAY?!?! Is this a prank to get me back for putting pepper spray in you're porn drawer at the office?!?" Naruto shouted, nearly wringing Sarutobi's old, sagging neck."That was you?? I thought my secretary was getting me back for having that in there!"
"… so… I pretty much just ratted myself out huh?"
"Indeed you did my boy."
"..Damn..?"
"Yes, damn."
"Ok, so my hair is gray.. Why?" asked Naruto, hoping for an answer.
"I don't know. It was like that when we found you. Oh, and if your wondering, yes, it's permanent. We checked your DNA, and the genes for gray hair was dominant."
"Uhh.. DN- what? Jeans? Dominant?" Naruto was really confused now.
"… Sorry, lecture mode, never really broke that habit after my days as an Academy Instructor. I'll explain in simple terms."
"The things that make your body decided to make the part of you that makes gray hair stronger than the part of you that makes blond hair, and before you ask, we don't know why, or how."
"Ok.. ano, can I get out of the bed now? The pain is gone now." Spoke up Naruto.
He been given permission, only to step on the Hokage's shadow as he was reaching for his hat.
An instantly paralyzed body did wonders for panic. Panic likes to spread
"N-Naruto-kun, are you able to move? I can't move! Someone may be attacking us!" The Hokage was very forceful with his words.
"Wh-what?" Naruto shouted moving under the bed to hide from another potential life-threatening experience.
But as he did that, Sarutobi could move.
Shock etched on the old face as he looked at Naruto. He wasn't the Professor for nothing.
"Naruto-kun.. Come here, I want to test something, don't worry, I don't think we're in any danger." Sarutobi said, thoughts racing a mile a minute.
"O-ok, if you're sure." Naruto said, coming out from under the bed, hesitating.
"Alright, now step on my shadow, don't ask, just do it" The old man ordered, seeing Naruto about to talk.
Mr. Professor was frozen solid instantly.
The village leaders and the Hokage researched it for quite a while, searching in their "Ancient Human life" and "Ancient Abilities" files they had hidden away, as they had looked through everything else before, and that was all that was left.
They found out it was called an "Alice". A special, unique power that only certain people had.
Each Alice was different and each had a personal class depending on the type of Alice and the power level of the Alice. Many years ago, more than a thousand, there was a place within Water country, a place called "Japan", an Island country. This island had an academy where people that had Alice's were placed to train, and learn how their power could be useful to others. There were other places that did the same, in other counties, but "Japan" seemed to have the most.
They found out, after many, many studies, and just as many days of testing, that Naruto had the "Shadow Manipulation" Alice.
This Alice was an extremely rare one, so rare in-fact, they only had three recorded users of the Alice.
Their names were oddly not on the files, only that they had existed.
One thing is for sure. In Naruto's exact words, this discovery was "Zetta awesome."
Flashback Over: (Normal time)
"So Hinata-Chan, I know I keep asking this but, how's life in that new apartment? I know that last one you had didn't work out, so I'm worried. You were in that one for a year. It must be tough moving around. I've been in the same apartment for as long as I can remember!"
Naruto, worried about his dearest friend as always.
"I-I told you, I'm fine. I've only had to move twice, once leaving the Manor and another leaving the apartment. I'm fine, Hokage-Sama is making sure of it. I promise" Hinata said as the two of them walked to the park.
"Well, alright, I just can't get used to you being farther away. The other apartment you were in was only a small walk away, not even five minutes, now it takes almost ten. Damn landlord, I don't understand why people don't leave you alone, and what's more, why you don't shove your foot up their asses when they bug you." Naruto ranted as Hinata blushed at the foul language.
Even after being Best Friends with Naruto for two years, she just couldn't get used to some things, like his strange obsession with Spirals, and, even odder, Math, of all things. She knew his name was all about Spirals, but she remembered reading an extremely disturbing Manga about Spirals. It was even called "Uzumaki", ironically. Once she finished the Manga, she couldn't even look at Spirals for weeks or she'd get dizzy and feel sick.
The thing about math was even more un-usual. She would catch him using strange words at times, like one time the two played tag. He had caught up to her and had jokingly said to her, in his exact words, "Hinata, you're so Zetta slow!" She hadn't even heard of anything that sounded like "Zetta", so she asked him, still somewhat stunned by his use of such a word. He explained that a "Zetta" was "A one with twenty-one zeros after it."
… confusing…
Well, at least they had gotten new clothes. Naruto had donned a black baseball-like hat with two white square-ish triangles on the front left, and five white dots of the bill, leading in a curve to the farthest left triangle, under the hat was a red bandana. He had also started wearing a black collar shirt with gray around each sleeve, had two zipper pockets on each side and that buttoned up to the middle of his chest, with four gold colored buttons, showing some of his upper-body. There were four on the other side, but that was just for symmetry. His pants were also black. Nothing real special about them, just jean-like pants, a few rips, but no big deal.
Hinata had decided to go with a simple loose black shirt covered by a green, cotton, long-sleeved jacket-like shirt, tight black pants that went to her knees, with a short baby-blue skirt with white blotches covering it. She completed it all with a small white hair-clip on the left side, to keep her growing hair out of the way of her eyes. Not exactly battle ready like Naruto's clothes, but nice everyday clothes.
Comfy too.
She did get used to is his smile, as it was bright and infectious, and his small habit of stepping on shadows whenever he could.
She understood that one. It stemmed from the special power he had. Most would call it a Bloodline, but it wasn't. It wasn't inherited. He was just… born with it.
But back to the conversation.
"Naruto-kun.. You know I couldn't do that, they're just trying to make a living.. And if me being there hurts their business, I'll just move, and hope it's ok." Said a very, very optimistic Hinata.
Kami bless her.
"Man, you're like, so pure! You're like a priestess! If I didn't like you so much I'd say you Zetta-byte!" Naruto joked, laughing brightly.
"N-Naruto-kun, you said it again"
"Ah, I did? I didn't even notice it this time! Haha, sorry." Naruto laughed.
"N-no, it's fine, I was just saying.." Blushed Hinata, worried she had maybe upset him.
"Ok, thanks for letting' me know! Anyway! To the Ramen stand! I'm hungry! I bet you are too, with all that moving! Let's eat."
They did.. Naruto eating enough to shock a Brachiosaurus.
