Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, if I did some things would have been done differently. I write this fic for my own amusement and make no profit off of it.
Warning: it's a fanfiction so OOC-ness, the death of hundreds of innocent bugs and female Naruto.
Naruto Uzumaki: the Aburame Clan ch3
Three years, Seven months and thirteen days ago Shibi became a father with the birth of his son Shino. Three years, six months and two days ago he lost his wife becoming a single parent. Three years, four months and two days ago he became the legal guardian of Naruto Uzumaki. Shibi often thought that for a single parent he was doing a fine job in raising both his son and adopted daughter. He had manage to teach both his children the basics of chakra control at a young age, he survived the terrible twos and both his children where now potty trained but as he looked out at the scene before him he had to wonder if it was good enough.
The mentioned scene that kept Shibi on edge took place in the Aburame compound; to be more exact it was one of the wooded training grounds. In front of Shibi stood his young son, at only three years and seven months Shino was no higher than Shibi's knee. Like his father, Shino had the same black hair that was cut in a similar style and wore a similar pair of black glasses that hid his eyes. He wore a standard black shinobi outfit that covered almost his whole body except for his hands and head. Shino stood fretting and looking distressed. Next to Shino sat a young girl with blond hair that is pulled in twin ponytails that hung down to her shoulders. Blue eyes that where set in a tear stained face and three identical whisker birth marks on either side of the girls cheeks. Like her brother young Naruto also wore a standard black shinobi outfit. Around the young child an assortment of dead bugs lay as Naruto sat on the ground crying.
Stepping forward Shibi reached down and picked Naruto up. He then gently held her as she continued to cry. "There there Naruto, its all okay," Shibi whispered to her.
"But…the bugs," Naruto said between sobs.
"Yes yes, I know," Shibi tried to reassure Naruto.
"Their all… sniff sniff… dead!" she wailed.
Shibi winced at the high pitch cry and told Naruto,"That sometimes happens."
"Dddddddead!" She exclaimed.
"Mmmm," Shibi agreed.
As Shibi continued to pat Naruto on the back Shino carefully made his way over, making sure not to step on any of the bug carcasses on the ground. When Shino reached his father he grabbed Shibi's coat and clung to him. Moving one of his hands away from Naruto Shibi place it on top of Shino's head in a comforting manner.
In truth it had always been highly unlikely that Naruto would be able to learn any of the Aburame clan techniques. It wasn't as if she wasn't strong enough but more that the Uzumaki and Aburame chakra was too different. The Aburame chakra was able to feed the bugs that resided inside them and also made it easier to form a connection with other insect species. On the other hand as far as Shibi could tell the Uzumaki chakra was far too potent for the small insect's and the result is much like the scene in front of him.
"You know Naruto, learning the clans technique isn't everything," Shibi told the young blonde and felt her stiffen. She then turned her head slightly to look Shibi in the eye.
Puffing up her cheeks Naruto replied, "but everyone else in the clan can use the clan techniques."
"Not everyone," Shibi pointed out.
Naruto then glared cutely at Shibi and said, "but everyone can use bugs in some way."
Shibi blinked behind his dark glasses and thought about it. He supposed that even the few members of the clan that didn't use the Kikaichu still in one way or another used a different type of bug.
Sniff sniff. Looking at Naruto he noticed fresh tears falling from her eyes. It was going to be one of those days he could just feel it.
"Naru-chan, don't cry. If you can't use them, then I'll use mine to protect you," Shino told his sister trying to reassure her.
Naruto looked down at Shino curiously her face once again puffed up in annoyance as she shouted out "No, I don't want Onii-san to protect me." The declaration caused Shino to deflate some and even Shibi winced a bit. Naruto then continued, "I want to be able to protect Onii-san."
Shino looked up at Naruto and gave a small smile and even Shibi felt his own mouth twitch in amusement.
"I see," Shibi said "that certainly is a very good goal," he told Naruto. As he felt her relax Shibi then bent down to set Naruto back on the ground patting her on the head "and if that's the case I think I know just the thing we should practice," Shibi said as the light glinted off his glasses.
Naruto took a step back. "Nooooooo anything but that," She moaned.
"But that's the only way you'll get any better," Shibi told the young pouting girl.
"I hate chakra control practice," Naruto moaned.
"I know but it's necessary if you want to grown up strong," Shibi told her as held out his hand. Naruto eyed it for a few seconds but in the end put her small hand in Shibi much larger one. Shibi smiled slightly and held out his other hand for Shino who instantly grasped it. The three of them then headed out of the training ground and started to head home. The basic chakra control exercises could be done in the comfort of their home. As Shibi walked holding the hands of both of his children he couldn't help but think maybe he really was doing a good job.
Authors note and ramblings XD
Yay, I got another chapter out. This chapter was very short but it's just to introduce the fact that while Naruto has been brought into the Aburame clan, that doesn't mean she can just use the techniques. In later chapters it will go more in depth about how Naruto can't use the Aburame clan techniques. Next chapter will be longer and will have some action/drama in it.
So I recently read this fic called "waking up to a nightmare" by athanatosora its pretty good. I recommend it. Anyway after reading it I thought of a new Naruto fic prompt and I wanted your input on it. In this prompt Naruto ends up being raised by Inoichi and because of this Naruto ends up with a personality similar to his dads but has his mothers temper (where if she became angry she attacks people and you know the regular naruto catch phrase when flustered).
1. I was wondering what sounds better a female or male Naruto?
2. Also what sounds better; Inoichi wife divorced him (and took there daughter) because he was always at work, Inoichi wife divorce him (and took their daughter) because he adopted Naruto, Inoichi wife and daughter died in an accident and later he adopted Naruto, or their all one big happy family and maybe one of the reasons Ino hates (is rivals) Sakura because she's mean to Naruto.
Reviews: I would just like to say thank you. Thank you so much for your reviews to this fic.
Marshman101: thank you for the review. Glad you like it. Always good to hear from you and hope you stick around for future chapters.
HjLostDreams: once again thanks for the review. I hope my pm answered your questions and didn't spoil anything. I blame you a bit for this but after I finished pm-ing to you I thought, why can't I stop Uchiha Massacre? Then I wondered about having a teenage Itachi around. Now before you get all excited, the Uchiha Massacre will take place in this fic. But I'm thinking of having it stopped in another fic.
canis lupus familiaris: thanks for the review. I'm glad you like it so far. Oh really, I'll try out the line break then. The reason why I put 'the end' was so readers would know that the chapter was finished and whatever was below was just ramblings about the story and stuff.
InfinityRabbit: thank you for the review. When I thought about all the clans in Konoha (the known ones at least) I realized that the two clans that had the best shot of dealing with Naruto where the Hyuga and Uchiha clans. But they also where the least likely to ever be given Naruto because of the suspicions of Uchiha (which weren't that wrong. Obito!) and the Hyuga whole main and branch family. After that I found that the only clan that would really fit would be the Aburame and then I realized big brother Shino. And that's how this story was created. Wait was that a jab at the fact that Shino and the Aburame clan are forgettable. I have so much planned for Naruto especially the early years! XD.
Kitsuneswiftpaw: thanks for the review. Glad to hear you like the chapter. I recently remember the episode where Naruto and Shino had a mission together. They were sent to help a rich family that was taking care of a (fake) funeral. I remembered Shino doing this silly dance and song while he was in henge and I thought, " you know Shino's quite good at this". It made me think that the Aburame clan isn't all that different from normal people its just that with there clan techniques it makes it difficult to get close to people outside the clan.
