So here is the next chapter again its still pretty dark but I like it like that. Also I thought I would let you know that during most of this Fanfic Naruto will not be referred to as Naruto. He props wont learn that name until way later in the story. Its not that Kyuubi doesn't want to tell Naruto but rather that he doesn't know the kits name either due to the relationship he had with Kushina. I'm trying to keep some of the abuse/ dark scenes short but if you guys would like me to do more of the scene let me know.
Chapter 3
It has been over a year since the night that Madara tempered his weapon. He has had to do mental corrections on the boy once a week to ensure that his sword will hate the hidden villages. Every week he had used his Mangekyō Sharingan to put the boy though a mental torture where members of the hidden villages would cause the boy mental and physical pain. Over time his sword had come to hate the villagers. However, there was still something missing from his sword, the will to kill. His sword had yet to take its first blood. The blond had been given chances in the Mangekyō Sharingan world, but he did not take them. Madara was beginning to question the obedience of his sword. It was time to test it, Madara would force the boy to make his first kills.
The day of the test the boy dressed in the outfit for the mission. He wore black sandals, black pants, a black mesh shirt, and red arm guards. Over this he wore the cloak that would one day be associated with the Akatsuki. The boy was ready, Madara handed the boy his weapon a black sword with a sharpened red edge, and the boy was given the mask that would one day make his name famous a black kitsune mask with red accents. When he was dressed for the mission the boy looked like the perfect messenger of darkness. The only thing separating him from the darkness was his short blond hair, and sky blue eyes. However, madara easily fixed that by pulling the black hood over the boy's hair. Madara's sword was ready, he would make his first kill or they would pull the Kyuubi out of the brat and be done with it.
Obito and the blond left the caves moving silently in the dark moonless night. They had to be quick, it was a days journey to where they were ambushing their prey. The genin were on a C-rank escort mission to the Hidden Rain Village. However, It would turn into a S-rank death sentence. As they ran through the night the boy quietly obsessed the outside world not visibly giving away that he was interested in the scenery around him. To anyone who looked on the masked boy was emotionless following after the masked man in front of him.
As they made their way to Ame both parties we silent. the only thing that gave away movement was their shadows and the leaves that fell from the wind they created. after a night of travel they arrived at their destination 10 miles outside of Ame on the road that the genin were to travel. The dirt road was empty, the sky was dark, and a storm was brewing on the horizon.
The boy and his master waited for their targets to arrive. It did not take long, after an hour the group came into view. Two of the genin were girls both had dark hair and wore bright clothing that most children wear. The other genin was a young boy with ash blond hair and natural tone clothing. Their sensei was a older man with dark hair and the traditional jonin garb. The ninjas were from the land hidden in the mist, they had the traditional headband on for their village. The boy hated it, Madara had made sure to use this village in his most recent torture sessions with the boy. He had been watching people from this village mentally and physically break him for the past two months. The group they were escorting was a small family a dark haired woman in a kimono and a man who looked to be the woman's brother.
Obito and the boy waited until the group got closer. The blond was nervous, these were to be his first kills. As much as he hated the village that they represented the blond did not want to kill them. Obito turned to the boy next to him and gave him the signal. The 8 year old made his choice and moved to intercept the genin. Obito attacked the sensei, the fight was quick, the jonin was no match for the masked Uchiha. The jonin died as Obito's hand pierced his chest, the first spray of blood hit the ground. Obito smiled under the mask knowing that this was the precursor to his revenge against Konoha. After he was done killing the man he wiped his hands on his cloak and watched Madara's sword kill the genin.
The blond's fight was slightly longer. He attacked the two girls first. He used genjutsu to immobilize them. While they were distracted by the imaginary world he toke them out with his blade. The sword made clean cuts across the young girls throats before their blood sprayed across the ground and their bodies fell. The siblings ran screaming for help while the young genin quaked in fear for what he knew would come next. The blond hesitated watching the boy who was only a few years older than him. He had made his choice though and he stuck with it. He attacked the genin stating his sword through the other boy's chest. The blond let a tear fall, he then quickly pulled out his sword before heading in the direction that the siblings had fled.
When he found them he raided his sword ready to end their lives when Obito interrupted him. "Don't kill them, your master wanted them to live so that your name could spread. Make sure that they remember this incident, give them a gift so they won't forget." Obito starts to walk away knowing that the blond behind him will follow his commands. The young boy in question uses a quick fire jutsu to burn the siblings arms making sure that the wound will scar before he follows the man in the orange mask back to their base.
All that remained in their wake was the 2 crying siblings, the 4 bodies, and the blood that the storm was desperately trying to wash away.
When they arrive back at the base the masked boy immediately goes to find his master. He walks to the room where Madara is waiting for them, a combination of blood and water drips down from his soaked frame. His master is sitting in a wooden chair at the head of the room. Zetsu and Obito are already at his side. The boy removes his mask and sword setting them on the ground in front of him before going down on one knee with his right arm over his chest. Madara smiles he had trained the boy well. There were only a few things left before the boy would be ready for anything the Uchiha threw at him.
"I see you have returned my sword, Obito tells me that you did well." Madara frowns as he notices that the blond glances up slightly at this. It would seem that his sword needs a little bit more work than he thought. "Unfortunately he also tells me that you hesitated in your last kill. That won't do, it seems you must be punished again. Go to the chamber and wait for me against the wall." Madara's commanding voice echoes through the dark caves and the boy is forced to obey.
"Yes, Master." The blond boy gets up from the floor leaving the mask and sword there on the cave floor, as he knows he is not permitted to take them with him. As he walks into the cave room that is where he would be punished his eyes see the evidence from all the punishments he had received before. There is dried blood on the walls and floors of the cave. All of Madara's tools for punishment lay on a bloody wooden table in the front of the room. The cave is dark lit by oil lamps on the walls, their light casting ominous shadows across the room as the flame flickers. the room itself smells of blood, that iron smell that leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
The blond boy removes the Akatsuki cloak he is wearing and the mesh shirt he places them on the table in front of the columns. He unwinds and removes his arm guards before placing them beside the rest of his stuff. The blond moves to one of the columns in the room knowing that Madara wants him to be obedient this time. When looking at the boy you can tell how often this happens his back is covered in scars from the many forms of abuse his master uses. The largest scar is still the one over his right shoulder, Madara wanted that scar to remain a focal point on the blond's back. The boys face is blank as Madara walks into the room alone. he does not react as madara poses a rhetorical question about which tool he should use today.
[start if you don't like skip.]
The dark haired man decides to start today with the whip. He grabs the black whip sitting on the table before quickly lashing it into the boy's back causing a bloody red line to appear on the center of the boy's back. The blond does not flinch or make a sound long since used to the abuse he was going to receive. Madara smiles as the whip does its work creating endless marks on the boys back. He strikes the boy 10 times until he decides to move on to better things. "Sword you are almost done with your punishment, I don't want to mark you up to much as I have a present for you when this is done. The present needs your left shoulder intact. So you are going to get 10 more strikes with the charka whip. Stay silent or your punishment will be extended."
Madara does not need confirmation he knows his sword will obey. He walks to the table before setting down the whip and beginning to channel his chakra to form a whip. the whip stated out light blue in color and then Madara added nature chakra to it. the whip turned white and began to crackle the lightning energy bursting free from it in some places. The man lit up by his chakra turned to the blond in front of him. Lashing out the whip in the first strike causing the lightning to crackle under the boy's skin and leaving a spidering burn mark in its wake. the blond endures each of the strikes to his back each worse than the previous. Until finally 10 strikes have hit his back. Madara releases the chakra in his hand and the lightning whip vanishes. At this point Obito is at the entrance to the room holding a medium sized box in his hands.
[End Abuse]
Madara smiles at the boy, "Come my sword it is time you received your present." He motions for the boy to kneel in front of obito. The blond does as he is told moving slowly as his back still hurts. Madara reaches into the box pulling out a tattoo needle as well as red and black chakra ink. It is time for him to mark his sword so that everyone can know that the boy is his to control. He turns the boys head to the right exposing the boy's left shoulder. "After this you will truly be my sword, No one will be able to question it with this mark on your shoulder."
Madara smiles and starts tattooing the black portion of his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan on the boys shoulder. As he works the mark slowly begins to appear. 3 joined commas in a circle with red circles in the heads of the comma and a black circle at the center of the commas. The circle of commas is commented by think lines to the edges of the tattoo. When Madara is done with the black he fills in the tattoo with the blood red ink. The boy in front of him does not make a sound during the process. When the tattoo is finished Madara smiles and motions for the boy to get down on one knee facing him. "It is time that you receive your name my sword. All great swords have names and now you will too. You have made your first kills and you will make many more after this. All shall fear my sword. Your name will be Kuro no Kitsune, The black Fox. Serve me well my Kitsune." With that Madara and Obito leave the room leaving Kuro no Kitsune kneeling on the bloody floor.
The Kitsune goes black to his room and takes a shower washing off all traces of blood from his body, before he dresses again in black clothing. He settles down on the thick red and black blanket that is his bed and closes his eyes.
"Kit, how are you holding up. He did a number on you this time, Do you want me to heal you?" The Kyuubi looks at his friend sitting in front of him sadly. The boy had been through a lot these past 8 years more than anyone should have to go through. Even in his head the boy does not smile. The boy looked up at the fox behind the bars before walking through them to lay down and cuddle in his friend's soft fur.
"Kurama, I killed children today. He made me kill 3 kids just a bit older than me." The boy named Kitsune looks down at his hands. "I can still feel their blood spray onto my body, see the blood that paints the ground red, feel the heat from…" The boy trails off facing his eyes shut as though he can will away the images and feelings spinning around in his head.
"Kit, I have killed before, the first one will be hard for you. You will have to be strong kit that mad man can't know that you still exist here. He will try to destroy you if he knows." The nine tailed fox brings the boy closer with one of his tails. Curing the boy up to him in his warmth. "Kit, take a deep breath. You went outside today right. Tell me about what you saw let your mind dwell on the beauty in the world and not the darkness. We can kill both those Uchiha Bastards later when we get strong enough, I am going to enjoy feeling their blood on my fangs. For now though, block the darkness out."
Kuro no Kitsune looked up at the big fox, "I saw rain today, It was pretty. It tried to wash away the blood…" The boy trails off again before turing his face into the fur around him his face blank. "Kurama, Master is going to make me kill again, If this is what I have to go through each time than I would rather not have this part of me. Maybe it would be best if Master got rid of the few emotions that I have. It just prevents me from fulfilling my duty as master's weapon." The fox looks appalled and tries to talk to the boy but it is too late the boy has made up his mind. "I don't need these emotions, the sadness, the guilt, and the stupid hope that something will take me away from here!" The boy begins to form sealing hand signs before using the jutsu on his forehead a dark red seal mark forms on the right side before the light goes out of the boys eyes. "It worked Kurama, the guilt went away. I don't feel like crying anymore." The boy smiles a bit but the smile does not reach his eyes.
"Kit emotions are necessary, they make you who you are. Undo the seal, its not stable a five point seal is not going to hold forever. You need to undo it kit, it will destroy you when it comes undone." The fox lashed his tails trying desperately to convince the boy in front of him to unseal that part of him.
"Fuck you Kurama. I still have emotions I just won't feel like an idiot anymore. I don't have to worry about the guilt from killing those Hidden Mist ninja. You know what they deserved it. They must have done something really bad for master to have me kill time." The boy raged at the dark orange fox in front of him. "I am not talking to you for a while demon, maybe master was right. You might be a bad influence for me." The boy's anger got the better of him and he left the fox alone in that part of his mind.
