Me: Alright! I'm back!
Yuno: We apologise for the delay. EVERY computer in the household seems to be...DYING more or less in the sense of the word.
Yuna: And Today is the day we stop the poll! These are the final votes.
Itachi/Naruto 4
Naruto/Harem 7
BoyKyuubi/Naruto 3
FemKyuubi/Naruto 6
Shikamaru/Naruto 3
Gin: The winner is Naruto/Harem! Lucky bastard...
Me: WATCH YOUR MOUTH! HOW DARE YOU CALL cute adorable lovable huggable Naru-chan a BASTARD YOU IMBECILE!? His parents were happily married thank you very much!
Yuna: You make me sick.
Yuno:..................................
Me: Hm? Yuno, what's the matter? You're awfully quiet.
Yuno: Nothing just that...Don't we have to figure out who are his harem people gonna be?
Yuna: Your right. WE do. But I think that their should be a limit, no?
Gin: How about two or three?
Me: I agree, I don't think I'd be able to right any more than that. I'm leaning toward two people right now. I don't care for gender, I'll make Naruto Bi if I have to.
Gin: HERE THAT FOLKS!? From now on instead of a pairing, you get to choose Naruto's harem! Mind that we would like it if you made sensible choices. It's hard enough for Hikari as it is. So don't go around voting for more than 2-3 people got it?
Me: Personally my votes are;
TenTen 1
Hinata 1
Me: Everyone can start voting any time. I'm stopping the votes in 3-5 more chapters so make them count! With that done, let's get on with the show!
Flashback No Jutsu!
......................................................................................
Yep. Right after the ranting she fell into a deep slumber, leaving poor confused Naru-chan all alone. But he had decided to voice out his thoughts even though no one was there to listen to him...
".....Who the heck is Minato?" (A transparent blond cries into his wife's waist as he cries with anime tears.)
....Well no one he could see.
........................................................................................
" Indeed. I cannot believe that-that abomination of a human named Orochimaru had the gall to cause the kits to go on their combined hissyfit ranpage. But I'm proud of them, they had enough power to take me down when they were only three combined! Although I'm sorry that Natsumi and Natsuko only released their new tails when they saw us being slayed by that snake. Which we should look into."
.........................................................................................
Naruto heard the sword hit something, sure it was him, so he waited for the inevitable pain from a sword wound, to be inflicted upon him.
He waited, and he waited.
But the pain never came...
..........................................................................................
Jutsu No Kai!
" N-Naruto-kun. Are you ok?" A weak voice called out to him. It sounded like Yuna-neechan. So Naruto looked up. And dearly wished he hadn't.
There they were, his Nee- and Nii-chan, Yuna and Yuno. The twins had moved faster than they ever had with adreniline pumping through their veins and their emotions fueling their haste to save the young blond. Their 'otouto'.They had stepped in the way of the fearsome charge back to back. Yuna went to shield Naruto with her body, manuvering his own so that the sharpened blade would miss his form. Yuno put himself between the two and faced off the charging nin. It didn't worked quite as planned, if there even was one. The blade went through him, into his sister, missing Naruto. But not before Yuno decapitated the rouge ninja.
The twins had pained expressions, their breathing was labored, and their blood intermingled at the middle of the blade. Then Naruto, still in his stupor realised that his shirt was getting wet. He looked to find the source, but when he did, it brought foreboding chills down his tiny back. There was so much blood...
" Onee-chan! Onii-chan! What-!? How-!? Are you ok!? Don't die!!" He cried out. Tears cascaded down his face. Yuna, ever kind, knew deep in her heart she wouldn't be able to keep that promise, as did her brother. She took off her mask, and gave him a hug, one filled with such a force of definity, Naruto wailed even louder.
Yuno looked at him, with a small sad smile on his face, his eyes glazed over in pain, his mask on the floor. He started to pull out the long katana. The twins hissed in pain.
Suddenly, the other ninja's who had been forgotten during the time fought again. The rouges aiming for the child, the others to defend him. Gin got up close to one and shoved his sword through the man's heart. He thought he killed him. Only the man smirked. Gin realised too late that the man was covered in bomb tags. They detonated killing off another rouge and injuring the rest.
The Hawk ninja's last thoughts were ' Sorry Naruto. I don't think I'll be able to play with you anymore.'
Naruto as if sensing those thought cried out his voice filled with agony. " GIN-NIISAN! NO!"
Yuna and Yuno free from the sword collapsed to their knees, falling into a quickly growing pool of their own blood.
" Naruto." They rasped. He turned to them, still crying. " We are going to die Naruto. There's nothing you can do. We lost to much blood, and can't do anything for much longer. So here," They spoke softly, handing him a golden pendent.
It was circle in shape with four beautiful jewels placed in the silver. They were different shades of blue, all of which could have been seen in Naruto's eyes. Those eyes that lightened and darkened with his various moods. Naruto looked up, confused. What did this have to do with the current situation. His Nee-chan and Niichan were dying for Kami's sake!
They spoke again, as if answering his question. " We wanted to give you your birthday present, we and Gin, but now that we won't have chance later..." their voices faded as they gave him one last hug, fell limp, and died but not without saying, " We love you Naruto... Don't blame yourself for this... Grow strong, live, and don't go down the wrong path..."
Naruto screamed to the heavens, his fragile soul having been inflicted pain of the greatest kind.
Itachi and Kakashi hurriedly tried to finish off thier two advasaries to get to their 'little brother' but the other two slowly advanced upon Naruto. And then the young blond was surrounded by a blinding etheral green light.
When the light faded, no longer was there a defenseless 4 year-old blond with shoulder-length hair who had been crying. Instead, in his place, was a 14 year-old boy with shoulder length blond hair with dark red highlights(styled like the 4th Hokage's), stormy oceanic eyes with slitted pupils, dressed in a forest green male combat kimono, in a unreconizable martial arts stance, elongated nails, fangs, fox ears on the top of his head and two fox tails.
Itachi, Kakashi, and the rouges froze.
Big mistake for the rouges.
Moving so fast that even the sharingan users were hard pressed to see where he was moving, 'the boy', the Anbu thought as they couldn't imagine Naruto to being this boy, struck out in demonic fury, slashing out with his claws, ending the last of the traitorous nin's life. Under 5 seconds, the deed was done.
The boy's eyes widened and he looked at his hands. They were soaked with blood. He trembled violently, as he held himself, suddenly feeling cold. He turn to the side and released his stomach contents.
Itachi and Kakashi, two of the most elite ANBU's, realised startling and chilling facts when that had happened. That boy had killed for the first time just then. That boy couldn't have been a demon, despite his appearence because he didn't enjoy the kill.(1) That boy was Naruto, their otouto. He wasn't being controlled by the Kyuubi. And he had just soiled his young hands with blood. The two rushed towards him only to hesitate, when Naruto glowed again, this time a noble colored blue. The light faded and there was 4 year-old Naruto, still cover in the crimson liquid. And he was unconcious. Itachi gathered their fallen comrades with the assistence of his shadow clones while Kakashi did the same for their enemies, more roughly though. Kakashi put Naruto on his back and went off to look for female sannin. She had some explaining to do.
(The Spirits)
" N-Naruto..." Kushina sobbed. Her head was against Minato's shoulder and her arms on his chest. He was embracing her in a comforting way even though his face was contorted with great sadness for what his son had gone through.
Ryu and Umiko looked on fron off to the side with sadness as well. The four spirits had watched Naruto during the incident. They watched his as he used one of his bloodline abilities. It was called 'Demi-God', which was self explanatory. With the bloodline, you could become a mini version of any and every one of the 4 great gods Kami, Inari, Shinigami, and Akuma. Aparrantly Naruto's first transformation was that of Inari, the Great Fox Spirit herself. Not surprising seeing as Naruto had two demon foxes sealed in his naval.
" Shh. It's gonna be alright Kushina." Minato said softly, his hand moving through his wife's hair comforting her.
" Naruto's a tough kid. He'll get through this. Besides you forgot something." He said with happiness crawling onto his face.
The other three looked at him, wondering what they could have possibly forgotten.
" What?" They asked. Minato's smile turned into a full blown grin.
" Don't tell me you forgot? The contract? Spirit contact abilities? Hellooo? I'm I getting anything through here?" He said, teasingly.
Now everyone was smiling. Of course! How could they forgotten? When Naruto had used the bloodline, he'd be able to use a special contract, one that would let him to turn the spirit of any already dead person who wished to serve him and live again into an animal/person hybrid looking like their human selves with animal attributes. It would also allow him to see ghosts, to help him find willing spirits.
They quickly followed the silver haired Anbu. It was time to make their appearance to the kamis' legecy.(2)
" Ugh. My head." Grumbled the perve-uh I mean Jiraiya. He looked around, checking his surroundings, ninja training taking over. He was in the forest where he met up with his old teamate Tsunade. That was good. He looked at the sky and at the position where the sun was deduced that he hadn't been unconcious for too long, more or less, half an hour. Also good. His teamate sprawled on the ground unconcious...Not so good.
" Oi, Tsunade! Wake up!" No reaction. " TSUNADE! WAKE THE HELL UP!" Some stirring. But no waking. Time to bring out the big guns. " OI! FLAT-CHEST!(3) WAKE THE-(THWACK!) OW! Jeez woman! That hurt!"
" Good. It was supposed to." Tsunade replied, her fist still formed, getting up from the ground. She brushed off imaginary dirt from her clothes and looked around puzzled. then she had a worried look on her face. Soon she was pacing around back and forth at great speeds. It was getting dizzying.
" STOP!" She stopped looking at Jiraiya questioningly." All that pacing was making me dizzy." Her mouth formed an 'O'. " What's got you so worked up any way?"
" Naruto, that's what!" She snapped suddenly angry. Jiraiya propped up an amused eyebrow.
" Fishcake? That all?" He honestly had no clue what was wrong with fishcake.
" NO! Naruto, that little blond kid I was with! You know the little boy you fainted looking at because he looked like MINATO!?" She shouted, frustrated. His faced drained of color.
" I-I thought that-that was a dream."
" Nope."
" Kuso."
" Yep."
"..........."
"............."
"...He really did look like Minato didn't he?"
"...Yeah."
" What's his full name?" He asked doing a complete 180 with his personallity, going from a joking pervert to a very serious ninja.
" Naruto Uzumaki." Why was he asking these questions? Wait. Uzumaki? That's-!
Seeing her eyes widen Jiraiya nodded his head.
" Yeah, Uzumaki. The clan name of the royal family of Uzu no Kuni. That was, until it was destroyed. And the clan name of Minato Namikaze's wife, Kushina. Of course, no one except for me, Sensei, Minato's team, and Kushina's team knew about the marrage. They had decided to keep quiet about it and you weren't in the village so they couldn't invite you to the reception."
Tsunade just nodded dumbly then thought of something.
" But...Where IS Naruto?"
"......."
".........."
"............"
"..........Shit."
" Yep."
Thus began the freak out fest. And because they were freaking out they were only sub-conciously aware of being watched. 2 familiar Anbu coughed politely to gain their attantion. The effect was instantanious.
" Kakashi! Where is Naruto? I had...Lost conciousness(Jiraiya:coughSUREcough)and when I woke up I-NARUTO!?" Her face filled with worry changed into one of horror. Seeminly forgeting that she had a phobia of blood she ran up to him and started to embrace him the way a motherly figure would, waking the poor boy from his slumber. "Oh Kami-sama! What happened to him!? Naru-kun are you okay?" The boy only responded with a shuddering shake of his head, indicating a big fat 'NO'.
What a way to send off alarm bells. She looked sharply at the 2 Anbu gaurds. " What happened." Simple enough question. One with a complicated answer. Itachi told them, EVERYTHING. From Naruto being attacked, from their comrades death, from the rouges demise and Naruto's transformation.
They took it all in. Waited a few precious moments. Then exploded.
" WHERE ARE THEIR UNWANTED CORPES!? I'LL MUTILATE THEM ALL!!!"
" GIN, YUNA,AND YUNO ARE DEAD!?!? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!?!?"
" URUSEI!" Itachi roared. Surprisingly they did, possibly from shock. It was something that was sort of an advantage. When you were normally a quiet person, speaking in any higher tone than usual spoke volumes. So you can imagine what ROARING meant to the people who had heard and seen itachi before.
Seeing that no one was going to speak he took the chance to talk. " Good. Tsunade-sama, you may NOT mutilate the corpes of the scum, we have to take the bodies to Ibiki for inspection. Yes, our comrades are dead as you can see," he said pointing to the 3 black body bags." Yes, we know that you are upset and confused but then so am I, and so is Kakashi. I do believe however that we'll get some answers from Hokage-sama. Oh and Tsunade-Sama?" She looked toward him, her expression asking 'What now?'. " The poison has been erradicated from his being.(4) I suspect this is from the transformation. I also recall that we were to return to Konoha?"
Itachi had lost her as soon as he said that the poison was no longer in Naruto's body. She was currently checking him over and to her shock and somewhat pleasent surprise, he was in fact cured. She sighed in relief. She brought Naruto in her arms and started to run her hand through his hair in a comforting manner and rub circles on his back. Naruto broke down again.
" Wh-why did th-they h-have t-t-to die? It's..I-It's n-not fair! I-it's just not!" As he sobbed, Jiraiya became aware of a promise he made to his former apprentice.
' Help take care of Naruto for me one day will ya?'
'Yeah, I'll take good care of him Gaki. Well, guess it's time to make good on that promise.' He thought. Then aloud he said, " Grab the kid and let's go. I have a request of my old sensei." Seeing the others nod, they set off back to Konoha. What a mess it will be...
Me: I'm stopping here. Here are the note thingys
1: You know how people are just dead set on believing that demons enjoy killing? Yeah, that's partially why they couldn't think of him as a demon right then and there.
2: Kamis. You know, gods. NO I do NOT mean Kami=God I mean kamis=gods. Multiple. Not singular. Many. Not one. I'm pretty sure you get it by now.
3: Jiraiya in my story would have made fun of Tsunade's lack of growth in the chest area when they were younger thus igniting her old hatred for the nickname 'Flatchest'.
4: The poisen goes bye bye in this form and would in any other of his Demi-god forms just because they give him some special abilties when not in said forms. You know, Passive abilities. Such abilities include an increase of all stats like speed and stamina, imunity to all poisens/illness, ability to not die from aging(he'll stop aging when he's about 18-25-ish), ability to not die from outside forces;i.e. decapitaion from a kunai(He's a freaking demi-god. DEMON+GOD=IMMORTAL. If he is killed in anyway his body will turn into a pile of White Down/Black Feathers/Hot Ash/Smoking Soot, respectfully, and then come back from the dead from said pile of White Down/Black Feathers/Hot Ash/Smoking Soot, sorta like a pheonix. Get it?)
Me: Some of you may think I'm pushing Naruto's Superness overboard. I don not care. AND NOTHING YOU SAY SHALL CHANGE MY MIND! XD
MyMuses: O.o....*OMFG!She's lost her mind!Run for your lives away from the crazy lady!*
Me: (* *) Were you just thinking something along the lines of me losing my mind and calling me crazy?
Muses: *The hell!? What is she a-*
Me: Mindreader? Yes. Be glad you are dead now. I would have made you go through excessive torture.
Yuno:..............Well at least me and Yuna died together.
Yuna: We always did say that since we were born together we should at least die togerther.
Gin: My death was worse, for me anyway.
Me: Well duh! You died!
Gin: Not like that. I mean, I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to little Naru.
TheTwins: At least your death was less scarring for the boy.
Me:.......This talking of death is bringing me down. I'm closing up shop until next time now.
Everyone: ADIOS!
