I'm sorry can you ever forgive me?
Kibas House
Naruto stared at the Inuzuka before him holding out…ramen…for dinner.
"You want me to eat that?" Naruto asked his right eye twitching slightly.
"Of course" he said grinning showing off his canines.
"Or we could always have pock-"but then he noticed Narutos eyes droop down in sadness.
"Are you alright Naruto?" he asked softly.
"Y-Yeah I think I need a breath of air" The blonde said with a sudden stinging in his Rinnegan eyes.
Yet Kiba made no movement to stop him but just sat on his couch and slowly began to eat his ramen wondering what had made poor Naruto so sad.
Uchiha Manor
The blonde teen was now walked through the deserted and wrecked buildings of the Uchiha Clan only dry blood could be seen no bodies left behind when cleaning up the Uchiha Massacre.
"Yet…under the Naka Shrine lies a secret entrance" mumbled Naruto as he walked into the sacred meeting place of the Uchiha clan and entered the secret room.
A tablet with strange markings had covered the far wall with torches lit up at the very edges of it.
The tablet markings then formed into actual words.
Ten Tails almighty beast of all Biju combined was once split apart by the Rukido Sennin using 'Creation of All Things' into 9 different parts the first was Ichibi, then Nibi, Sanbi, Yonbi, Gobi, Rokubi, Nanabi, Hachibi, and finally the Kyuubi all of which held there and their own traits and power.
Rukido then sealed away the hollow body of the Ten Tails into the moon using 'Chibaku Tensei' the technique was said to have power to create a miniature planet just like the moon.
It was rumored that they would all become one once again to once again create the Ten Tail.
The 6 paths that was mastered by the sage himself…
Human Path- said to rip out someone soul and read there memories
Deva Path- said to have power of the gods
Naraka Path- said to be able to summon the King of Hell himself and use judgment against those who lie
Asura Path- said to be able to change body parts into real life mechanical weapons
Preta Path- said to be able to absorb Ninjutsu attacks
Animal Path- said to be able to summon any animal
But one path was said to be the most powerful of them all not even the sage dare attempt to use, it was the Outer Path one that has control over life and death itself.
The sacred tools were lost of course once the Rukido Sennins death through time and carelessness.
Naruto gazed at the last sentence thoughtfully.
'Lost?' the thought echoed throughout his head but the necklace on the body of Deva Path was the exact one the Rukido Sennin was seen wearing.
"I wonder" mumbled Naruto but gazed at the shrine one last time then down at his rings he was wearing.
But one stood out more than the rest.
'Itachi sooner or later we will be together again' he thought lovingly then walked out of the room heading back to the house of Kiba.
Inside of the house
Kiba was a little scared the blonde was gone for over 30 minutes, shoulder he go after him? Should he go as far as to alert the Yondaime?
But the sound of a door softly opening and closing was heard as Naruto reentered the living room he then gazed at the still steaming ramen bowl and decided how bad could it actually be.
He then walked over and grabbed the bowl lightly along with chop sticks and being a master of using chop sticks had he picked up the noodles and brought them to his mouth.
"N-Naruto, are you feeling any better?" asked Kiba moving a little closer to the eating Uzumaki.
"I feel a little better" he said before taking another bite.
"Are you sure?" the brunette asked now sitting very close to the blonde.
"The truth is I don't know Itachi is dead, Sasuke is probably off hiding from every damn shinobi there is, and I'm lost without a way to go" he said finally putting down the bowl that was empty of its contents.
"But don't you like Konoha?" he asked.
Yet Naruto said nothing staring at the floor in sadness.
"They have wrong many people in this village and one of them is my now dead love, Itachi Uchiha, who wanted nothing more than help save this village he would even give his own life to do it but I wish I could have talked some sense into him if I could go back" said Naruto.
"Well Naruto why go back when you could always move forward" said Kiba with a smile leaning his head next to the blondes who looked at him confused.
"I don't understand what you mean" he said finally looking away from the tanned teen.
"Well basically what I meant was you have to let the past go" said the Inuzuka with half lidded eyes while using his finger to turn Narutos head to his.
"But Kiba-"he mumbled but the brunette couldn't keep himself from ravishing the blonde teen and pressed his lips against the soft pink ones.
Naruto had frozen up not doing anything as Kiba had closed his eyes in bliss while he kissed him.
His tan hand slowly had pushed the Inuzuka away from his lips taking in a moment to relay what had just happened.
"Listen Naruto I didn't mean to take it so far-"he tried to explain but Naruto put a finger to his lips.
"Quiet you have to know this will never work between us" said the blonde.
"What do you mean?" questioned Kiba.
"You have a village to stay to and protect while I don't" Naruto answered solemnly then had gotten up.
"But you're here now you have your father, you can make new friends, and you can be with me!" said the brunette frantically having an edgy feeling reside in his gut.
The blonde just smiled then walked to the guest room and shut the door lightly.
'Should I still tell the Yondaime what had just happened?' Then he looked one more time at the door that Naruto had just gone through.
Kiba sighed to himself not knowing what to do.
Later on that night
A sharp knock was heard on Ankos door.
"What the hell can't a fucking kunoichi get some –she opened the door to reveal Naruto staring at her- sleep" she whispered the last word as Narutos cloak billowed in the wind.
"I'm sure you know of me?" he asked.
"Of course your Yondaimes son" she said scanning every aspect he had.
"Anko I need to know…your knowledge Orochimaru" he asked not giving any emotion away.
"Yeah what of it" she growled, Anko had always despised your old sensei because of him using her as a lab rat then actually treating her as a human being.
She then unconsciously rubbed the cursed seal he had put on her all those years ago and Naruto had noticed.
"Anko I need to know where his bases are" whispered Naruto.
She muttered then roughly grabbed the blondes arm and pulled him inside.
Inside the house
"Alright" said Anko as she sat in a chair opposite of the one Naruto was sitting in.
"I will give you the information you need…but…I have to go with you" she said.
"We'll see" was all the blonde had said.
"Ok so this is what I know…" she then explained every single one of Orochimarus base that she knows of when travelling with him.
"And we'll plan along the way to the first base" Anko said rubbing her eyes then yawning.
"Go to bed" said Naruto.
"Fine but if you –yawn- leave me behind…the Yondaime will have my ass" she said tiredly and guided Naruto out of the house and slammed the door behind him.
"Sorry Anko" he whispered then vanished into the night heading towards the great wall of Konoha.
Outside of Konoha
Sasuke stood with his uncaring posture while Karin right beside him was glancing at the dark haired Uchiha with a small blush on her face.
That's when Naruto appeared perfectly fine.
"Naruto you gave me such a scare!" said Karin who jumped back a little in fright.
"I'm sorry" replied Naruto his piercings glittering in the moonlight.
"Whatever lets go we need to get a few people" Sasuke said as he started walking off Karin right behind him.
They all heard sirens go off in the village and Naruto looked behind him once more feeling a strange stinging in his eyes but whipped it away with his Akatsuki cloak sleeve.
'Even if it was for a moment Kiba…I truly felt happy with you maybe we can be together' he thought to himself and began walking away along with Sasuke and Karin heading out to find Suigetsu and Jugo.
Back in Konoha next day
Minato stared with an unreadable facial expression at the two figures of Kiba Inuzuka and Anko Mitarashi.
"So Kiba…you could not watch my son for one simple night if I must I will send you back in the academy –the Inuzukas eyes drifted downwards- but since Naruto was trained by a S-Class mercenary group you will be spared this one time and yet Anko you have told me he came to you wanting to know Orochimarus bases? Do you have any idea why?" he asked.
"No sir I don't" said Anko disappointed in herself.
"Well which base do you think he's heading for first?" Minato asked.
She took a moment to think and then came up the answer "Northern Hideout" Anko said remembering what had peaked Narutos interest the most.
"Why would he go there?" asked Minato narrowing his eyes.
"That's what I don't know either Lord Hokage because that base holds a monster" the kunoichi said but whispered the final two words quietly.
"I see" said the blonde man "here's what we'll do".
2 days later
"Sasuke…what do you know about Jugo?" asked Naruto staring at the Northern Base the sound of his clicking sandals on the ground made loud noises that echoed loudly.
"He was experimented a lot by Orochimaru which led him into insanity because of the snakes' twisted ambition to learn about Jugos clan technique of absorbing natural energy he had been friends with Kimimaro" replied Sasuke.
"I see" was all Naruto said tearing off the metal door with his gravity release.
They soon reached a metal door that held whimpering inside of it, chains clanked inside then a soft whisper came "Go away please".
It was a soft and kind voice but soon a rage filled one took over "Go away!" the scream echoed off the walls making some of the prisoners shake in fear.
"Jugo" the blonde said "Come on out please".
"No I deserve to be in here…I'm a monster" he said in sadness.
"No Jugo you are no monster" spoke Naruto.
No noise had come from the door from then on; the Rinnegan user had slowly walked up to the door and opened it slowly as the chains locking the door up came undone.
Once the door opened a crack a roar had come from within the room.
"I said go away!" Jugo shouted as the door burst open, the clangs of the remaining metal door had made Karin flinch.
But Naruto was affected the most he was thrown into the wall then forming a gaping hole Sasuke of course was barely showing a hint of worriedness.
The smoke had then cleared and Jugo could be seen more clearly he was wearing regular hospital clothes but were filthy with grime from wallowing inside the cell for so long, he had a muscular build along with a pale skin color his vibrant red hair stood out along with his ruby red eyes.
"Ow" Naruto said as he walked through the gaping hole.
His cloak was torn his right sleeve gone along with the color but everything remained intact except for some rips here and there.
"You hurt me and that hardly ever happens" he spoke again walking to straight up to a seething Jugo who was clutching his fists and heaving air in and out his right side of the body started to turn gray.
"I told you to leave me alone and look at what you've done" whispered the orange haired teen.
They all remained silent as Naruto stared at Jugo with an emotion not recognized by either Sasuke or Karin.
"Kimimaro" the blonde said smiling.
The pale teen had frozen and stared wide eyed at Naruto.
"Don't you ever speak that name you have no right" he growled out and disappeared into thin air.
The Uzumaki then ducked swiftly as a sharp battle ax made from Jugos flesh had just barely touched his hair.
"Jugo…I could become your new Kimimaro" Naruto said with a soft smile as he slowly stood up from his squatting position.
The orange haired teen froze and dropped both of his arms down his flesh ax that was grown on his arm had soon had gone back to normal.
"You can't…its impossible" he whimpered.
"If you join us Jugo you'll see I really can be" said Naruto stepping closer to the bipolar teen.
It was a long reined silence in the hall until Jugo spoke once more "Fine" he said.
The blondes face broke into a huge grin but it faltered when he sensed large chakra sources heading his way.
"Konoha shinobi" muttered Sasuke who was leaning close to a window looking outside.
"Leave with Jugo this is annoying me" said Naruto then he looked at the orange haired teen once more "This will prove that I can become your new Kimimaro anyways" then Naruto jumped out the window one of his scrolls in hand.
Sasuke, Karin, and Jugo stared at Naruto as his cloak flapped and whipped around while free falling through the air in front of the group of Konoha Shinobi.
He then landed on both feet ready for battle.
Down with Naruto and the Konoha Shinobi
Minato, Kakashi, Kurenia, Asuma, Anko, Ebisu, and some other Jounin unknown to the blonde, Naruto stood in front of him arms crossed staring at them.
"Naruto we have come to talk to-"but Minato was interrupted as Naruto got onto his knees and rolling the scroll out to be displayed for everyone to see.
"If you would just-"again he was interrupted as his son screamed out two words "Summoning Jutsu!".
Six bodies appeared from the smoke Nagatos six paths of pain standing in the sunlight staring at their enemies impassively.
"The time for talk is over father I will not listen to reason I have a goal and nothing will stop me" whispered Naruto.
The body of Deva Path ran forward along with Human, Preta, and the Asura Path only Animal and Naraka Path stayed in their original position.
Asura Path then shot his rocket fist at Minato who dodged it in success but a punch from Preta Path rocked him backwards into the hard earth.
"Shenrai Tensei" said Deva Path which blasted back Ebisu and Kakashi.
Human Path then loomed over Minato a sadistic smile as his hand was stretching out to meet his head.
The blonde Hokage then started to wrestle out of Preta Paths grasp but he felt himself become weaker with a harder grasp of Preta Path.
But now it was too late Human Paths hand was now over Minatos head and now on top of it.
The path in then breathed in air then out slowly as he dived into the mind of the Hokage.
Inside of Minatos Mind
Naruto walked in inky darkness as he stepped on an invisible pathway.
A baby's cry was heard throughout the darkness the young blonde kept walking forward and spotted a crib with a baby lying inside of it then his father came up and towards the baby rushing in high speeds with his Hokage cloak and his jounin outfit was in tatters as he breathed harshly as if coming out of a big battle "Shh Naruto it will be okay daddies here" his father then picked the baby up and carried it out of the room then screams and yells were heard in the background.
The scene then formed into a new one.
They were standing in the sealing tower as intricate seals were placed on all four corners of the room diagonally lining up to the basket filled with blankets in the center of it.
"Come on now please be good for daddy" Minato whispered and set the baby who had big blue eyes and small tuff of blonde hair on his head.
The baby then gurgled adorably in response to his fathers' words and Minato froze as he was about to leave the room tears swarming down his cheeks he then said these last words.
"Naruto you will be special and I know it please don't hate me and remember I will always love you"
After that had a big bang was made signaling the large door had been closed and Minato was going to face the beast alone for the village of Konoha.
Yet Naruto could do nothing as he stepped towards the baby that laughed and gurgled at seemingly nothing that's when it spotted him, baby Naruto instantly changed he no longer smiled or gurgled or even waved his hands around like before all he did was stare at the older version of Naruto like the baby was disappointed in him for turning out this way but the baby wasn't actually looking at him he was looking right through him had the image of Kyuubi through the slight open gap of the tower wall.
"Oh what do you know you're not even real you're just memory" said the older version blonde as he crossed his arms getting worked up for what a baby actually thought of him.
A roar of the Kyuubi was heard then a giant claw of the tailed beast had impacted the sealing tower but two bodies slowed down the giant claw of the Kyuubi.
It was his mother, Kushina, and his father, Minato, as the giant claw was stabbed through a stomach of Kushina and the heart of Minato both were gasping in pain and exhaustion.
That's when the baby's screams were heard throughout the sealing tower.
"N-Naruto…p-please remember w-we w-will always l-love y-you" his mother gasped out sliding off of the claw and onto the floor right next to the basket then his father had landed right next to his mother grasping Kushinas hand and his own and putting it on the baby's stomach as the seal was then made with the roar of the Kyuubi the chakra was then sealed into Naruto not long after had both Minatos and Kushinas chakra were put into the seal for future preferences.
"We love y-you son" Minato sputtered then his body along with Kushinas went limp as death took over their once living bodies.
Outside of Minatos Mind
The Paths then went immediately backwards to their original positions as they all stared at Minato.
The said person was gasping as he felt like someone ripped open his mind and read every dark secret that lied inside of it.
Then Narutos body walked forward along with Deva Path their bodies were similar everyone had to take a double take the only thing that could really tell them apart was the color of hair and the skin color on both bodies.
That was when Deva spoke first "Your memories are truly inspiring Minato showing such care for your son during the sealing of the Kyuubi not once giving him a distasteful look before the sealing or even the knowing word that the people of Konoha would call your son…monster…you never said that word" his deep voice shook every ones mental state learning of such information.
"You surprise me Minato or should I say-"but no longer had Deva spoke it was now Naruto who took over "Father I should have never said such awful things to you in the very beginning…your love and determination was enough to prove to me that you would never hate me or even think of me as something as worthless like the Kyuubi" the younger blonde said having a tear slip from his right Rinnegan eye.
Minato looked awestruck as he had slowly gotten up from his sons speech and had begun to feel proud of his one and only son.
"But…that does not mean I can change my ways I still have a goal to complete and once that is finished then we can all live in peace" said Naruto as Animal Path then smashed both hands onto the ground.
"Summoning Jutsu!" the Paths voice said as three Rinnegan eyed centipedes came from the ground and after the Konoha Shinobi.
One of them successfully wrapped around Ebisu and Kurenia another knocking out two other Jounin.
Deva Path along with Human had then rushed forward and began Taijutsu with Kakashi Hatake and Asura along with Preta attacked the rest of the Jounin but Naraka Path stayed hidden.
Naruto was now facing his father expressionless.
"Its…funny you could say" said Naruto "that I show high respect and gratitude for you but you deny that and only express me love when I want none of such a thing".
"Oh? But why not accept my love?" asked Minato taking a step forward.
"Because you are weak" the blonde said his gaze becoming darker.
"You only show skills in Hiraishin, Sealing, and have barely scraped the power of the opposite Kyuubi of mine also you have shown little use of Ninjutsu and Genjutsu tell me father how do you expect to win if you try your usual combination of attacks that have been recorded many times" added the blonde
"I know you…you have shown me too much about you and as a known fact you cannot win" said Naruto.
"Well God Damnit I can try!" yelled Minato as he rushed forward.
"Indeed you can try" replied Naruto.
And with that they began their epic fight.
Hope you liked it :D
