Yo second chapter up, I'm actually motivated for once be afraid
Thanks for all the reviews I'm getting; it's like a bloody torrent especially for the first chapter
To Kim(1) I think that what your name was, I was unable to reply properly try and use your logged in name it'll make things easier and thanks for the abilities info and to most of them no and not for a long time
This won't follow cannon per say as Naruto is more or less going to do his own thing; he's not really a team player
Chapter two - Surviving the Kurosaki's
Naruto blinked, he blinked again and just to be safe he blinked a third time.
The reason for his befuddled attitude, after walking amongst a world filled with extremely bright lights and weird Sounds and almost being attacked by a large metal beast that sped out in front of them and roared off continuing its battle cry down the street was Yuzu's family.
Naruto had instinctively bent over backwards to avoid a flying kick aimed at his head by Isshin Kurosaki, a large heavy built man that had mistook him for his son Ichigo, from there it went from bad to worse which is where this scene walks in at.
"you-you-you who are you to be so close to one of my wonderful, perfect daughters at this time of night" pointing at Naruto Isshin yelled his loud voice making Naruto's ears ache.
"Daddy be, nice, he's a guest and besides he saved my life".
In the span of a second Isshin was over by Yuzu fussing over the smallest part about her, each speck of dust in his eyes was a mound of dirt exaggerated to nearly a thousand times its size, finally he found a scrape on her knee and the results were expected.
"Oh my baby girl what happened to you?"
Naruto stood unsure of what to do and quite frankly scared out of his mind of a man with the exuberance of MaitoGai with a family.
"Yo who are you".
Turning Naruto came face to face with a girl around the same age as Yuzu with a page boy haircut and dyed black hair, she was wearing a loose pair of shorts and shirt with a large baseball cap on backwards and her expression showed her to be extremely bored.
Caught by surprise Naruto bowed low almost tipping himself over in the process "Uzumaki Naruto".
"Never heard of you, what year you in".
Obviously the girl realised the confusion present on his face and elaborated.
"You know school, the place you go to learn stuff".
'What do I say, what do I say, I know I'll tell her I'm new to here that'll work'.
"I'm kinda new here so I'm not sure if I'm the same level as other people but I had ehh graduated from where I Came from and now that I'm here I would be learning anew".
Not a total lie, he had graduated in Konoha at age twelve, he didn't know when people here graduated and the most important resource to a ninja was reliable information so he'd enrol in the school so people wouldn't point and stare at him, not that he hated attention.
"Eh whatever I'm sure Ichigo would love a new classmate, you do look about his age even if you are a bit short".
Snap
"You are you calling short miss lazy eyes".
Snap
"Lazy eyes, at least I have eyes and their not hidden behind a birth defect".
Snap
"At least my whiskers have character all you have is a whinny voice you over grown bowl cut".
Snap
"My hair is not a bowl cut you weirdo, after all what kind of parent would let you out of the house with that weird metal plate on your head and that goofy outfit".
KA-SNAP
Naruto gritted his teeth biting back his anger as he felt his teeth grow slightly; his eyes flickered red briefly before calmed himself down sufficiently.
"I don't have parents; they abandoned me as a baby".
Too his knowledge they may as well of as his only company growing up was an abusive nanny that the Hokage had blackmailed into raising him and a just appointed female chunin who had killed herself as she couldn't take the stress.
'My fault, it's always my fault, my fault the Kyuubi attacked, my fault my parents left me, my fault I was killed and my fault for nearly losing control of my anger'.
Karin went pale, the impact of the red eyes overlooked when she realised she had hit a point where she shouldn't have, something she knew quite a bit of pain about.
Family
"Ah I'm sorry um" muttered Karin running upstairs and locking herself in her room.
"Ah shit I screwed up again" Naruto felt a hand on his shoulder and tilted his head to see Isshin, the father of the girl he had just sent off most likely to cry The previously emotional man stood straight and tall in a traditional Japanese stoic posture looking to the stairs where his youngest of three had up seconds before
"It's not your fault I'm just happy that you saved my daughter from a group of muggers and their pet dog" Naruto almost misunderstood what the man had meant by robbers but a quick glance to Yuzu explained everything.
Daddy's little angel told a bold face lie.
Not that anyone would have believed a dead kid that got out of his body and saved her from another dead thing that was trying eat her, It'd be as stupid as believing underdressed magical cheerleaders fought evil in the dead of night or that there was really a group of death gods that went around saving everyone.
Totally preposterous
(Several hundred poorly thought out anime worlds with lame reasons why something worked when it shouldn't all sneezed simultaneously)
"Oh yeah not to worry anyone would of done the same he he" more to reassure himself Naruto replied idly scratching the back of his head.
"Dinners ready" called Yuzu breaking the awkward silence
"You don't have anywhere to stay do you Naruto" spoke Isshin surprising Naruto as he hadn't even heard the large man approach him
"Eh ah ano-sa, that is I um, No I don't have anywhere to stay" muttered Naruto embarrassed that he was caught out in his predicament
"Then you can stay with us it's the least I can do for the man who saved my wonderful daughter"
"Ah no it's too much really I'm fine and I wouldn't want to impose on you"
"Not at all I run the practise down stairs and we have plenty of free beds so make yourself at home"
"Ah if your sure"
Naruto lay in bed tossing from side to side; he couldn't sleep as his mind whirled at a million thoughts a second.
No one had ever been this kind to him and it made him uneasy to think about it, problem was it was the only thing On his mind, he idly ran a hand along the hole in his sternum through the cloth of his shirt, he had forgone stripping completely as it would raise questions if someone saw him before he woke up.
Another factor was Kyuubi; he had felt the enticing rage that the Kyuubi always offered but when he had tried to look inwards there was only a gaping hole with himself standing precariously over the gaping chasm on the thin frail sewer pipes and lighting that usually adorned the numerous walls of his mind.
It was like the entirety of his mind had been gutted just leaving the plumbing suspended midair, it was hard to admit but it scared him far more then when the Kyuubi took control of his mind.
His voice had travelled, echoing off imaginary walls but everywhere he looked it was the same, empty and void of all life and light, the ceiling lights that usually signified his chakra flow were dull and lifeless and some of the pipes were broken with congealed muck stuck inside them.
It was so cold inside and for once he felt more alone then he did growing up.
End chapter
Goddamn I hate emotional stuff, I know I say it constantly but damn this teen angst is depressing
Remember to tell me how cool my story is and what I've screwed up so far
