Kiiroi Senkou
Chapter 2: The Uchiha Family
by DeathGodSlayer
Naruto tied down his boat to the port of the island and quickly leapt over the side of the Kage Bunshin to land on the wooden structures built at the edges of the island. Immediately he was set with wonder as he looked up at the gargantuan island, it was at least five times the size of his own little island, perhaps even larger still.
Sand and trees were what first met his vision, the sand of the beach and heavy forestry further back surrounding the town. His wonder began to turn to anxiety and even fear. 'Perhaps I have made a mistake…' He thought hesitantly as he looked up at the massive island. He knew nothing outside of his own little island, how different would the laws of the land be on this slab of Earth? How different would the people be? How would they react to a Devil Fruit user? Questions began pouring into Naruto's mind, all of which came to the same answer at the end of them.
Turn back.
He shook the thoughts from his mind, erasing any doubt from it. "What kind of adventurer would I be if I turned away from what scared me?" He asked tom himself, grinning madly as he walked forwards off the port and into the forest, heading towards the town on the island.
As he walked through the forest he could hear the wind gently creeping through the branches of the trees, the soft impact created by his shoes hitting the grass. The indescribable heat of a large black fireball coming his way…
'Wait… what?' Naruto turned, unsure if what he felt was real or not. A large fireball made of black flames came flying towards him with great speed; these flames were like the shadows created by the flames, the flames' shadow itself. On instinct, Naruto quickly teleported from its destructive path, landing safely on a thick branch above it. He continued watching the fireball carry on its way, scorching and tearing away plant life from the Earth in seconds, leaving nothing but a burning scar in its wake.
"Hey." A voice spoke from behind him, Naruto turned to see who caused it. A boy looked up towards him from the ground with an irritated look in his Onyx eyes. "You could have got yourself killed getting in the way of my En En no Mi attack." It was a boy around his age with raven black hair with a slight blue tint to it, his hair was spike at the back and two long bangs framed his face, his fringe bangs were also separated and held out of his face by bandages wrapped around his forehead. He wore a dark grey sleeveless shirt which was open at the torso as well as dark blue pants with a blue cloth hanging from halfway up his stomach to his knees. He also wore a purple rope belt around his waist, tied in a bow, which held a sheathed sword in place behind his back. He also wore bandages around his wrists and shins. And on the collar of his shirt was a small paper fan, with the top half being red and the bottom half of the fan being white.
Naruto looked at the boy for a while, boy scoffing loudly. "Like something like that could hit me" He smirked cockily down at the black haired boy.
"Are you suggesting that you willing want to test my accuracy?" The boy replied in a very insulted tone, his fists clenching with anger and irritation.
"Sure! Let's see what you got!" Naruto beamed widely at the raven haired boy. 'This will be easier said than done, I've never used the Senkou Senkou no Mi in combat before, hell I've never been in a fight before!' Naruto panicked inwardly, he didn't want to step away from this fight, but his thoughts were true, he was always too fast for the villagers that he never needed to actually fight.
'I need to play to the dodge and evade tactic that the Senkou Senkou no Mi naturally gives. I'll make it look like he is controlling the fight, yet in actuality I'll let him tire himself out.' Naruto smirked inwardly; his plan could work if he timed every teleportation correctly.
The other boy smirked confidently at Naruto's answer. "En En no Bakuha!" He suddenly roared punching his fist towards Naruto on the branch, from his fist can a similar fireball. It rocketed towards Naruto quickly, the heat easily seen radiating from it.
Naruto watched the attack hurl towards him, and moments before it struck he disappeared, reappearing at the other side for the small space within the forest where the boy was, crouching on a new branch now.
"So you can dodge one attack easily enough, but how about this? En En no Dangan!" The boy screamed, holding out his arms in front of him with his hands spread wide, from each of his finger tip can a significantly smaller ball of fire, about an eighth of the size of his previous attack, which was almost the small size as Naruto himself. Again Naruto watched the row of ten black fire bullets be shot at him before teleporting again to the safer side of the forest behind the boy.
The boy turned quickly, a glaring snarl plastered across his face. "Is that all you can do! Run away!" He shouted in anger. "En En no Bakuha!" He roared firing another attack at Naruto.
Naruto's plan seemed to work, it didn't even take long to get into the swing of things. 'This guy's temper is quick to bursting. He's launching attack after attack at me with no disregard to himself. He'll tire out eventually…' Naruto smirked with victory as he teleported again just before the attack hit him.
Their small fight continued like this, where the black haired boy would launched continuous and constant attacks at Naruto every time he landed, hoping not to give Naruto a moments rest. However, Naruto easily dodged with his teleportation. And he could see it being to enrage the boy.
"You keep moving behind me and my attacks to dodge, but this next attack will give you nowhere to run!" The raven haired boy screamed. "En En no Suishin!" He screamed with anger, black fire exploded from his hands and feet, launching him high into the air quickly, Naruto watched the boy saw up into the sky before the fire ceased and the boy hovering momentarily in the air for a moment.
The boy clasped his right wrist with his left hand; his right hand remained clenched into a fist. He held both of his hands over his head and began yelling loudly. "En En no Bakugeki!" He screamed loudly, a small ball of fire grew over his fist over the top of his head. The black ball of fire continued growing, until it became the size of the boy's head, before doubling in size after that. As the boy descended he brought the ball down to meet the ground before him.
Naruto could only watch as the impact hit, the ball of fire burst like a water balloon, expelling outwards creating a concentric circle of fire that drove itself outwards, the wave of black flame reached the height of the trees, pushing out across the area, destroying the large trees and reducing everything hit by the attack to ash in seconds. The fire began to run out of momentum after hitting a ten metre radius from the centre of the attack, where the boy crouched on one knee, panting heavily.
The boy stood up slowly, laughing weakly under heavy pants for breath. "I win…" He spoke out quietly, the blond haired boy was nowhere within sight. Everything around him was reduced to piles of ash and burning cinders.
Suddenly he heard his sword being unsheathed, the sound of the metal being drawn. He looked behind him to his sword, it was nowhere in sight, it hadn't fallen out by accident. The boy's eyes widened as he stared quickly around his environment, looking for any possible trace, his head quickly flicking around, as if trying to watch all angles at once.
The he felt the cold sting of metal on his neck, a forearm resting on his shoulder, the breath of another at the back of his neck. "How?" He asked as his eyes shifted, to see the locks of blonde standing behind him. Naruto's head moved so the black head boy could properly see his face, his grip on the raven haired boy's sword tightened. "How did you survive my strongest attack?"
"Simple enough. I need to see where it is I'm going to teleport to, but it doesn't have to be on the ground." Naruto explained with a confident, victorious smirk on his face. "Your attack took a long time to charge, having to switch between the propelling technique you used and the actual attack, so it was slow, and within your strongest attack is a weak spot, it's not even the area beyond your attack's radius. It's a lot closer to home than that."
"You teleported to the space of air directly above me, where the flames do not reach, so even as you fell I wouldn't notice you. And my flames created such a strong light that I wouldn't see your shadow descending on the ground."
Naruto's lip jutted out with interest. "Didn't know that last bit about the shadow, thanks for the tip." Naruto smiled as the other boy's face fell with disbelief. "However, I have won; I have you tired out and captured, surrender now."
The boy's panting seemed to stop. "Don't be so sure." The Onyx eyed boy gained a cocky grin, before quickly stepping forward towards the blade. Naruto tried to stop him before he killed himself, yet he was fascinated by the outcome that was created.
The sword easily slipped through the boy's neck. Instead of blood coming from the boy's neck, it seemed to open like placing something between flames and removing it, his neck repairing itself instantly with black flames. The boy completely escape Naruto without even a scar on his neck.
Naruto watched the feat in wonder. "Logia type Devil Fruit user." The boy spoke cockily. "Physical attacks will do nothing against me."
Naruto stood with silence before a small smile grew on his face; he threw the sword towards the raven haired boy, who caught it easily. "Then we should call a truce here. If physical attacks won't hurt you then there is no point in continuing."
"But you're Devil Fruit is just a Paramecia. Why should I quit this fight as well?" The raven haired boy replied bluntly with an obvious irritated look at Naruto's request to end the match.
Naruto only smirked even more cockily. "You saw during that fight didn't you? There's no way you can even get close enough to touch me. This battle will end with us dying from exhaustion, and there's no reason for either of us to die yet." Naruto's smirk grew into a more sincere smile. "My name's Naruto Uzumaki by the way."
The boy only replied with a small snort of laughter, with a small, yet genuine smile on his face, not the usual smirk that Naruto had seen him possess so far. He turned sharply on the spot sheathing his sword behind his back and began walking away, heading in a particular direction, perhaps towards the town.
"Sasuke Uchiha." Naruto suddenly heard the boy call out as he walked into the forestry. "My name is Sasuke Uchiha…"
Naruto walked slowly through the busy main street of the town, the town was set in a traditional way. The housing was made in a traditional style out of wood, set in a gridlock pattern, every street connected to each other easily.
Even the people walked around with content, happy smiles on their faces, exactly as they would walk around on his own home island. They spoke to each other cheerfully and without hesitancy to one another, it appeared everyone knew and was friends with each other on this island. 'Just like home…'
However it was a certain design across every shop that surprised Naruto, on every house there was a small paper fan design, the top half of the fan was red whilst the lower half was white. Exactly the same as what Sasuke had printed on the back of his shirt. "What does the Paper Fan signify?" He asked aloud to himself.
"Not from around here, are you boy?" A man threw his arm around Naruto's shoulders, apparently overhearing Naruto's question. "The paper fan is the brand of the Uchiha Family. Ever since this island was first inhabited by humans it has been under the governance and guidance of the Uchiha family. They rule over this island pretty much like a Royal family."
"Uchiha. That's Sasuke's last name." Naruto responded, remembering the raven haired boy's last name. He heard a collective gasp, and looked around quickly. The villagers were all staring at him with wonder in their eyes, even the man he was speaking to stared at him with shock and surprise.
"Y-You've met Sasuke Uchiha?" The man stammered out. "He is the most reclusive one out of the Uchiha family, keeping himself to himself. And you, a stranger to this island managed to meet him?"
"Yeah." Naruto responded just before a loud, collective squeal of delight came out of nowhere, he looked to the source. What could only be described as a stampede of females near his own age came charging towards him. Within seconds they had surrounded him, sputtering questions out so quickly and simultaneously that he could barely make out any of them.
"What was he like!"
"Is he strong, and cool, and handsome like the other Uchiha!"
"Is he single!"
Naruto looked around in fear, trying to find some way to escape this horde. He looked towards the first building in sight. And instantly he stood on its roof, away from the clamouring female teenagers. Who looked around in confusion at the blonde's sudden disappearance. 'Girls are scary…' Naruto noted mentally as he looked down at the horde.
'I should get out of here while I have a chance.' Naruto decided in his mind, until the sound of heavy creaking filled his ears. He looked down at the roof, the source of the noise. "Uh oh-!" Was all he had time to say before the roof caved in around him, dropping him straight to the floor of the house below. "Ow, I wasn't expecting that to happen…" He mumbled out as he rubbed his head sorely.
"Who is that, I've never seen him before?" He heard someone mutter out in a whisper, he looked up, finding the many people in the house staring at him with shock and fear, Naruto returned their stares with a confused look of his own.
"Me neither. He's not from around here."
"So what's he doing in the town's bank?"
"And why did he fall through the roof!"
"Oh, this can't be good." Naruto mumbled out to himself, looking at the people wide eyed.
"THIEF! SOMEONE HELP! A THIEF HAS BROKEN INTO THE TOWN'S BANK!" He heard a woman scream in fear. The many people clamoured around him again, holding him down and restraining him, pushing him until he was laid flat on his stomach.
Naruto grunted as he tried to free himself. 'Damn, I can't look up high enough to escape through the roof and their bodies are blocking my vision. I can't teleport anywhere!' He thought with panic as he continued trying to free himself from their grasps.
He then heard another squeal of delight from outside the bank as he had just discovered the function for the building. "An Uchiha is arriving!" They screamed with glee.
Naruto watched as the crowd slowly parted to make way for the coming authority. 'Now's my chance!' Naruto thought excitedly, they had cleared his vision. He could now escape with ease by teleporting to safety.
"So this is what you were doing on my island." He heard a familiar voice speak, he looked up in horror and surprise. Familiar raven hair, spiked at the back came into view. The familiar hard gaze coming from Onyx eyes.
"Sasuke…" Naruto muttered out weakly, just hours ago he had thought that he might have possibly made a new friend. For this to happen so suddenly…
Sasuke moved towards him, and hoisted him to his feet quickly. "I'll take you straight to the town's leader myself!" He spoke harshly towards the blonde, grabbing him around the arm.
"We'll accompany you, Sasuke-sama! We saw everything, how this fiend made the devilish plan of going through the bank's roof to-"
"I can do this by myself!" Sasuke almost yelled back, silencing the crowd, before his gaze returned to Naruto and hardening, he began dragging him out of the building by his arm. "Don't try to escape using your teleportation," Sasuke spoke in such a hushed whisper Naruto could barely hear him. "It'll only make this situation look worse…"
Naruto was pushed to his knees by Sasuke in the centre of a large hall by Sasuke. Out of all the houses he saw, he was dragged to the largest and most elegant. Even the hall of this house was larger than most of the other houses in town. The wood was lined with streaks of thin gold, and patterns of Foxes, and Dragons, and Tigers were etched across faint, light red painted walls in deep black. Naruto looked upwards and saw who he was kneeling before.
A man, older than himself was sat on a grey large cushion. Despite the man's obviously young face, the man had significant creases under both his eyes and an aura of wisdom and power well beyond his years evident in his Onyx black eyes. His hair was incredibly long and spiky, going down to his was, the fringe parted and covering the right side of his face completely. His hair colour matched Sasuke's, being deep black yet possessing a blue tint to it. The man was dressed in a blue suit, complete with gloves and bandages wrapped around his shins. Over this was a red samurai-like armour. Hanging behind him on the wall was a large, orange coloured War Fan, with a three tomoe pattern coloured in bright red on the top left corner of the fan.
And standing on either side of him was two other men, both again older than Naruto. One was the spitting image of Sasuke, but with paler skin, his Onyx eyes shining due to the paleness of his fair skin and stood to the left of the man sat down. His hair was the same colour as Sasuke's, even parted at the front at the front the same way as Sasuke's was, with two long bangs framing his face and two smaller fringe bands reaching eyebrow length, yet he also possessed a long ponytail at the back of his hair, one that reached down to his lower back. The man was dressed entirely in black, black pants and a black Gi held together by a white belt. Bandages were wrapped around his wrists and shins as well as a high collared black cloak that reached down to his mid torso were worn.
The other stood to the left of the man sat down. Whilst Sasuke and the other two men looked very similar in appearance, this one did not, save for the shape of his face and Onyx black eyes. His black hair was short, with curling spikes and lacked the blue tint the other three's hair possessed. His nose was broader and around his eyes he had black markings, ending with being turned upwards at the end of his eyes. This man was dressed in a simple high collared black shirt with the Uchiha family crest on its back and blue pants with bandages around his legs.
"So a complete stranger breaks into the town's bank. Doing it front of hundreds of citizens in broad daylight, and how does he enter? By accidently falling through part of the bank's roof that was brought to my attention yesterday that it is need of repair." The man on the cushion spoke in a calm, almost humoured voice. "There seems to be a lot of holes in that story. So before I give any verdict, I'll allow you to explain your side of the story." He added with a small smirk.
And so Naruto began to explain his story, beginning with meeting Sasuke in the forest, arriving in town and being practically attacked by girls trying to find out information on Sasuke, using his Senkou Senkou no Mi to teleport to safety, not knowing which building he landed on and fell through the roof.
"As you said, how could a complete stranger like me know the location of the town's bank?" Naruto finished his story, questioning the man sat down, who had listened to Naruto's entire story with silence and patience.
"In order for your story to be true, you need to prove that you are a Devil Fruit user. Perhaps I should throw you into the sea and see if you sink to test if you're telling the truth." The man mused, smirking when he heard Naruto's gulp. "Very well, I shall do that. Shisui, take him to the ship." He nodded to the man standing on his left, who nodded in return, and took one step towards Naruto.
Naruto's eyes widened, he quickly looked over his shoulder towards the door, and instantly he was there, staring back down the room on his feet as the four others in the room looked at him with varying levels of surprise on their faces. "Sorry, but I have no intention of dying for something I didn't do."
"But, technically. You DID break into the town's bank. By accident or no, that fact still remains." The man sat down. "However, it appears my plan worked, you proved you were in fact a Devil Fruit user. No one moves that fast naturally, even Shisui; whose Devil Fruit has blessed him with the highest attainable speed a person can possess cannot move that fast."
"So does this mean I can go?" Naruto asked with hope in this voice, he was already more sick of this island than his own.
"No." The man's reply eradicated all hope in the blonde. "The villagers will still demand a punishment be given to you, you have scared them greatly. Plus, it seems that you made an attempt on my little brother's life during your fight. That itself is a more personal crime against me. You will wait in the cells whilst I make my verdict. And if you have even a single shred of honour, you will not use your teleportation abilities to escape."
Naruto's gaze hardened towards the man sat down. "Fine." He spoke out bluntly in return, standing perfectly still for the next events to happen.
The man let off a small smile. "Good. Sasuke, Shisui, take him to the prison cells."
"I can do it by myself!" Sasuke angrily barked back, quickly storming over to Naruto and pushing him out the room, giving Naruto no time to react, he looked over towards the boy. Sasuke's face had a look of anger, annoyance and irritation on it. However it also had a look of shame, something that greatly confused the blonde greatly…
Naruto to directly next to the bars of his cell, his hands clasped around two of them, his head pressed between them. He stared intently at the raven haired boy who guarded his cell from outside. Sasuke was sat down outside his cell in silence, he feet put up on a box. His eyes were closed and his head fell forwards. It seemed he was content with sitting in silence. "So… you never told me that you were of royal family?..." Naruto finally broke the silence.
"You are a foreigner, someone unknown to me. You didn't deserve to know." He was surprised that the raven haired boy even replied to his question.
"And the man upstairs, who was he?" Naruto asked further about the man who condemned him to this tiny cell.
"The man who rules this island, who guides it. Madara Uchiha." Sasuke replied, still keeping his head down and eyes closed.
"He's also your older brother apparently? And the other two? Are they his bodyguards?" The blonde asked further.
Sasuke's answer was a single nod, before he lifted his head, sighing loudly as it pressed softly against the wall he was resting his back on. "They are also his younger brothers."
"Your brothers?"
Sasuke nodded. "I am the youngest of six brothers. Madara is the eldest, then Izuna; the one with the long ponytail, then Shisui; the one with the short hair."
"And what of the other two?" Naruto asked with interest.
"One is dead, Obito was his name, he died very young of an incurable disease. The other… he is not here, not even on this island. He left a few years ago to travel the world, to escape this island, he felt lost here, and went to go find himself." Sasuke explained. "Itachi is his name; he is also the brother I am closest to, in age and understanding."
'Just like me then…' Naruto thought about Sasuke's brother, Itachi and his reasons for departing his home island. Naruto exhaled loudly at the new knowledge. "I never had any siblings, not even parents throughout most of my life. My mother died when I was nine and I've never met my father. It must be nice to have so many siblings that care for you."
Sasuke sighed loudly in return. "I was eclipsed by all of them in my father's eyes, whilst his eyes only ever looked at me with scorn and disapproval. I always assumed he blamed me for my mother's death, seeing as she died giving birth to me. I am forever suffocated by their shadows, no matter how I move; it was and still is always in one of their footsteps. It's an awful feeling, to be born into a family that rules, but to be destined to never lead..."
Naruto listened with silent intent to Sasuke's words; it was how Sasuke finished that confused the blonde. "So is that what you want? To lead your island?"
Sasuke shook his head. "You misunderstand my words. I respect all of my brothers, especially Madara. There is no one stronger and more able to lead than he. Even Izuna is his equal, yet Madara was born first. All I want is to prove to them that I am their equal. That I don't need their help to survive. That I am just as strong and as capable as them. That I am not the weak, defenceless, foolish little brother they perceive me to be…" Sasuke's eyes opened, to stare blankly at the ceiling above him as he spoke.
Naruto beamed widely at the raven haired boy. "You know what? When I get out of this cell, you should join me on my adventures! I'm sure there will be loads of strong people to test your abilities against and prove you're just as strong as your brothers."
Sasuke let out a small laugh, accompanied by a small smile as his eyes drifted over to the blond. "If you aren't executed by Madara first…"
Feet landed on the wooden structure of the port, a large boat painted crimson red on the body was pulled up and anchored. Men clamoured from the boat.
"Hehehe so this is the Uchiha Island…" A man said with a dark, devious chuckle lacing his words. "The Crimson Tide Pirates have arrived, and we'll take everything this island possesses…"
A/N: Hey there, DGS here saying thanks for reading Chapter 2! Wow! The reaction to this story was amazing, thank you all so much! I'm seriously glad you all enjoyed the first chapter and I hope this new chapter satisfied you and was worth the wait, it took me longer than I anticipated to write this, but I think it turn out quite good.
So yeah my first time using a fight in this fic, was quite hard to write fluidly, seeing as Nareuto doesn't really need to saying his attacks names because in all honesty, he literally doesn't have any. He will in time, but at the minute he as at the very basic level of using his Devil Fruit effectively outside of using it to escape confrontation, that will lead into another nickname Naruto will be branded with, but this one will beused more by Pirates and not Marines.
Sasuke debuted, how did you feel about that? I went for the more little brother side of his story, in canon he felt like he could never live up to Itachi's standards when he was younger, so I played on that. And YES, in this I have altered Sasuke's family, he has five older brothers (one being deceased), I'll do proper portfolios on them later, but for now this is the age gaps between them. All the Uchiha brother have devil fruit abilities, and will be seen in the next two chapters.
Madara Uchiha - Eldest - Aged 29
Izuna Uchiha - Second oldest - Aged 28
Shisui Uchiha - Third oldest - Aged 25
Obito Uchiha - Fourth oldest - Should be aged 23, however Obito is deceased, dying of an incurable disease at Aged 13
Itachi Uchiha - Fifth oldest - Aged 21
Sasuke Uchiha - Youngest - Aged 16
I'll do two portfolios of Naruto and Sasuke now. By the way, Naruto DOES NOT have the Will of D. he is simply Naruto Uzumaki, not Naruto D. Uzumaki.
