Chapter 2 – The Start of a Legend

While Naruto's outside portrayed a look of complete conviction, determination and total indifference, inside he was both furious and calm, which was quite a feat since those two emotions in particular are basically opposites, but will let it slide, and because he was calm he was able to activate his sensory ability and saw someone approaching and seeing it was the same guy who was left behind he didn't pay him that much mind. Naruto couldn't see properly with his eyes because of the beating he'd received from the hands of the Jinchuuriki Haters but was able to see everything thanks to his sensing ability which provided him with Byakugan like perception of his surroundings and could also feel the fireball's heat on his skin as it came closer and closer to deliver the final blow and send him to oblivion but it wasn't even scratching his newly erected mental barrier named "I Won't Die Here, I Will Become The Strongest!" though, in his mindscape he was falling in a pitch black, cold as fuck abyss and he was chanting a mantra with determination the whole way down 'I Won't Die, I Won't Die….', a light shone behind him, illuminating the abyss, he felt it's warmth and the strength that came with it growing stronger and stronger awakening something deep inside him, and with an even more intensified vigour, he screamed "I WON'T DIE HERE" as he's eye's shot open revealing a strange ripple-like effect with a subtle mixture of purple and acqua as the background.

At that moment he felt an unlimited power coming from his core, it was strong, concentrated and addictive and he couldn't hold it in anymore and let it out in a blast wave so strong you would swear gravity's girlfriend had just maxed out his credit card and he didn't like it one bit, Naruto was able to blow away the fireball, shinobi and cancel out the katon jutsu in one fell swoop. Some of them were knocked out while others had broken limbs and deep gashes in their flesh. The blast radius was about 5 kilometres. In the centre of all the destruction and carnage you could see a young, beaten body on the edge of consciousness with strange yet powerful eyes. His eyes slowly reverted back to normal and any adequately trained eye or half decent medic could tell Naruto's injuries were already healing thanks to, you know who, but Naruto then passed out because of chakra exhaustion, among all other things. In a dark sewer somewhere you could see glowing blood red fox like eyes followed by a menacing smile, displaying an army of sharp, pearly whites. The monster then said with deep voice "We'll meet soon boy".

Kakashi had ran in to a little problem chasing after the first group of shinobi who were looking for Naruto and he was about an hour away from him when he saw the tracks diverge showing that they had decided to split up but he was more than fast and skilled enough to get all of them . After about thirty minutes he had just pierced the second one of the shinobi with a chidori through the heart when the detection trap he had set at Naruto's location had been tripped and he was an hour and thirty minutes away, an hour at his top speed. So he turned back. He was five minutes away when he felt about 6 shinobi's chakra signatures around Naruto's location and then he felt a huge pressure from a familiar chakra signature brought him to a stop, a second later he was blasted away by a huge blast wave. When he came too, he rushed back to see Naruto pass out and 3 of the shinobi dead from broken necks, crushed skulls, skewed by tree branches or a combination of all these but the other 3 were still alive, barely, which Kakashi finished off 2 of them with well-placed kunai to the skulls but decided to keep one of them alive, which was when the ANBU black-ops arrived under the Hokages orders when he saw that things were getting real bad, real quick on his glass ball. The situation was then taken care off, the survivor was taken to Ibiki Morino and Naruto was taken to receive medical attention. The Hokage was there too and was evaluating the scene from a hidden position.

Naruto was then taken to the Hokage's private medical facility and the ANBU and Kakashi were in the Hokages office giving out their reports of what they saw and analysed when they arrived to the scene. "Hokage-Sama, my squad and I were thrown back by a massive blast wave which we felt 2 kilometres away from the blast point from an unfamiliar chakra source but we felt no traces of Kyuubi's chakra even at the scene. We arrived to an unconscious Naruto and 5 dead shinobi , two from Captain Kakashi's kunai to the head and the other three seem to be victims of the chakra wave. One was kept alive by Captain Kakashi for us to take him to Ibiki Morino for Interrogation" Hiruzen took in all of the information and nodded to show he understood ,"ANBU dismissed" said the Hokage ,"Hai" came the response of the ANBU as they just vanished, to the untrained eye, that is.

The moment the Hokage was alone with Kakashi, the hokage stared Kakashi in the eye and asked him his personal evaluation and analysis of the crime scene and all that he thought was connected. Kakashi went into ANBU Captain mode and gave his analysis "First of all, the chakra didn't have any traces of the Kyuubi's chakra but it did feel similar to Minato Sensei's except this was stronger, denser, more concentrated therefore there's a high possibility it belonged to Naruto as the Yondaime's only known legacy, the amount of it can be associated with him being the Nine Tails Jinchuurik", the Sandaime looked to be going over Kakashi's analysis and he gave his own two cents "Yes , I also felt remnants of Minato's chakra when I got there and how do you figure his capacity is connected to the Kyuubi ? Because his doesn't have control of it yet" asked the Sandaime. "Minato-Sensei designed his seal so that it would siphon the Kyuubi's chakra over time and purify it before combining it with Naruto's own, so Naruto's chakra coils have expanded to allow him to easily have half my chakra reserves at least that is how much was leaking before he unlocked it, it could have double or even maybe tripled now. " Sandaime nodded in acquisition of this new information, "Is the anything else you would like to add?", asked the aged Hokage, "There is actually, after the first squad of shinobi left Naruto's hiding place I had placed a genjutsu over Naruto's tent for extra protection and a fuuinjutsu which was taught to me by Tenzo so I could go after them, this fuuinjutsu is only known by me and all Root members above mid-chuunin which should have electrocuted them whenever they came 5 feet of Naruto but none of them had electrocution marks on them which leads me to believe they had disabled it and that could only mean, Hiruzen finished Kakashi's sentence for him with a voice full of malice, "Danzo" Kakashi continued "so that's why I kept one of them alive also I noticed something very peculiar…." the Sandaime nodded as a sign for him to carry on, so he did "Naruto was able to completely mask his presence, even I couldn't have found him if I hadn't been he's guard and his intelligence is admirable for a kid his age, not only did he foresee this little search party and decided to hide but he's hiding spot, the camouflage he used, the material he used to make his tent and the intuition to know that bringing a light would probably give off his position suggests that our little Naruto might be Konoha's next Yellow Flash, that said I was wondering if Naruto could be trained in the ways of the ninja so as to not squander this gift, I will personally train him, I owe that much to Minato-sensei" the Sandaime gave a slight nod showing he heard Kakashi's plea ,"I saw that through my glass ball and I must admit I was impressed myself, that said" Sandaime took on a serious face ,"You are to finish your remaining missions and no other and return to my office in three days to get a new long term mission" commanded Sarutobi ,"Hai" was the response from Kakashi and he excused himself to catch up on his porn book. Sarutobi immediately activated a seal designed by Minato which allowed two people to communicate over long distances by forming said people's astral projections in a set place and talk as if face to face. Sarutobi only had to say one sentence to the astral projection of a tall, rather muscled man with two red streaks down his cheeks from his eyes and a long white mane reaching his lower back. "Jiraiya, wrap things up and be here in 4 months!" Jiraiya of the Legendary Sannin and student of Hiruzen Sarutobi himself knew when his sensei wasn't playing and the connection was cut off. Jiraiya thought to himself 'Ohw shit, shit just got real'. The Sandaime was thinking 'How the fuck am I going to pull this off' as he puffed on his pipe full of weed, I mean tobacco.

With Naruto

He had just woken up when realized he wasn't at the usual hospital but quickly analysed the whole room with precision that was par with the Yondaime's and didn't panic since he wasn't subdued in anyway and there was the Hokage's emblem on the wall that meant he wasn't in hostile territory, so he threw himself back and tried to remember what had happened, apparently he had suffered minor memory loss and as he was laying on the bed he's head happened to turn in the direction of the Hokage's emblem and he suddenly felt anger building up inside him as he remembered what had happened when he was made a practising dummy for kunai and shuriken throwing, the looks of rage and disgust painted upon the faces of his attackers and then, he remembered the promise he had made himself to get stronger and the big ball of fire that was shot towards him, "Wait ,how am I still even alive after that anyway, hell, I don't even have any scars" then he remembered the immense energy that was just bubbling from within him and how he did that thing when he can see everything around him again, 'I did it twice now, that can't be a coincidence' he thought to himself, 'and maybe that energy helped me heal faster, as a matter of fact I can still feel it, I should see if I can do those things again because they might help me reach my goal faster if I learn to control them now, I'll just try to simulate the same conditions I was in' Naruto thought to himself as he picked a meditating position and tried to do it.

As he tried to calm his thoughts and be one with his body and mind, something he had seen in that movie he had sneaked in to, he noticed that he could feel and see the energy flow through his body from his core through a network of interconnected vein like path ways all over his body, and without even noticing it he had activated his sensory ability, his chakra felt relaxing soothing and powerful but it was way less than what he had felt in the training grounds before he fell unconscious so he tried to bring it out more which is when he noticed his sensory ability had kicked in and he could see the whole underground hospital and could see one woman with a little of that blue stuff which he had decided to call 'bluey' headed out of the place and on the upper floor he saw four guys (which were ANBU) with a lot of bluey guarding the entrance and the funny thing is he could see his own bluey now and it was a little bigger than that of the biggest bluey the guys outside had which was no joke since that guy had more than Kakashi and he was at thirty three per cent of what he felt in the training ground, so he tried to bring out more unaware of what was happening, he couldn't feel the end of it, it just kept coming and coming, he could feel a little under a 50 per cent which is when the ANBU sensor named Bat and was considered the best after Inoichi felt it and decided to go see why the Hokage was so riled up, 'and how did he get past us since this is the only way in' he thought to himself.

As much as Naruto was intelligent he was still a child and was prone to have a short attention span and right now he had forgotten the reason for this little training and having the time of his life because he had noticed that he could easily control his bluey and make it do silly patterns inside his body like bunnies and the Hokage's beard. By the time the ANBU had gotten to the door the pressure was so immense they could barely stand and one ANBU was thinking, 'This is about a quarter of Sandaime-Sama's reserves he used in his fight with Orochimaru and he was pushed to the limit and beyond in that fight, what the fuck is happening?'

Every shinobi from the chuunin to genin were definitely feeling it and don't even mention the civilians .Some genin where having trouble standing, some puking. Hiruzen's head snapped in the direction of Naruto, thinking, 'What is that?' then he's old face had this shocked look on it and shouted the question to Kakashi, 'Is that ….' But before he could finish Kakashi finished for him "Naruto"
