Answer to reviews:
deidei94: Thanks a lot, it's really encouraging since it's my first fic and knowing that people like it gives me a lot of courage for the rest. n.n
Sorayaki-chan: I'm really happy that you liked my first chapter, that gave me energy for the follow up 'w' For the meeting between Naruto and Sasuke, you'll see, they'll see each other in this chapter and I hope you'll like it, it will be, lets say, full of action compared to the first, which was filled with only a single memory.
lovelessnaru-chan: I know I'm freaking out too :) Like I didn't know how to start my story, I thought that is I did a flash back with a sad memory of Naruto's, it would put you better in the context( you mustn't forget that it'll add some spice to the story for the next chapters). You're right, you'll soon know what's Naruto's mysterious powers, since he comes from the most powerful Hidoki family in the Shadow Kingdom(but he doesn't know that of course n.n)
Author's notes: I know that this isn't done usually, but if you have ideas for the rest of my story, don't hesitate to tell me, who knows, maybe I'll include them in my next chapters. For what is of the numbers of chapters, I'm not sure yet, since some will be longer than others. At the end of each chapter, I'll say see you in two weeks, but some days, I have more inspiration, so certain chapters, may come earlier, but they'll never come later than in the two weeks promised!
With this, nice reading for my new chapters n.n
Never before seen, TRANSLATOR'S NOTES DUNDUNDUNNNN: Yes hi! I'm Ash (AliTImagination) and I'll be the one translating and correcting the English version of this story from now on since I'm a super great friend. I'm warning you know that my translations aren't perfect (there is no such thing as a perfect translation) and if something happens and the story isn't posted in the two weeks promised it should be my fault, if I lack the time to work on it or have too many other things to do, it might put back the posting, but I promise that I'll try and get it translated the fastest I can while it still being the best I can make it. The translation IS NOT completely identical and I have modified some sentences so that they sound better in English so if you compare the two versions there will be minor difference. I will now stop because this is taking a lot of space and I'm sure you'd rather be reading the chapter so nice reading! OH by the way, I'll be posting the story on if you want to fav/bookmark it there, it'll be on my account tho. :)
Chapter 2
Naruto had just exited his apartment when he saw a group called the Akatsuki. This group went to the same college as him, Konoha College. Like the rumors said, it was the most renowned educational institution in the world, the one where everyone wanted to go to, since it was where the education was the finest and they sure weren't missing any privileges: there were two large indoor pools, a couple of tennis courts, a large forest located behind the school which belonged to said school where the Hidoki could release a bit of steam and hunt… in the classes, each student had their own laptop and they were all seated on either beanbags, couches or chairs of their choice… in short, the school had a lot of budget. The only problem? The college is only accessible to the Hidoki. During the day, there were guards posted at various places around the school for surveillance, these guards are known as anbu. They patrol day and night to keep any human adrenaline junkies from entering it. Since the school resembles a giant manor more than a normal institution, it was completely understandable that the humans wished to enter the grounds and see what was inside. Unfortunately for them, that was banned.
Rumors said that the building had her own conscience and she chose the candidates herself: when a certain Kabuto, the rat Hidoki, tried entering her, the school had slammed her doors, closed all the lights and had started started giving off a cold atmosphere that gave the intruder an uneasy feeling, which made him leave as fast as he could. On the other hand, when Naruto presented himself in front of the building, all the previously closed doors opened, all the lights were on (even those in unused rooms) and a warm atmosphere greeted him inside of every room of the school. Kiba told the blond that the college had sense the fact that he was missing maternal or familial love and had tried giving him that feeling of love and security he needed, like a loving mother. Naruto had a teary gaze as he murmured a small thank you, but as he was inside of the building, not a word escaped her hearing. It was as if she felt Naruto was someone special who was missing love, and little by little, she opened all of her secret doors leading to corridors that had previously stayed secret for many years. She wanted to be like a mother for him and wanted him to feel comfortable while inside of her walls. She also wanted that if he needed it, he could hide himself away wherever so he could cry or calm down. Since then, Naruto tried to spend the most time he possibly could inside of the college, which was why he was so excited to return to school after a long summer spent away.
This brings us back to the fact that, right after exiting his house he found himself in front of the Akatsuki.
''Hey, look who's there! Our favorite punching bag!'' declared Deidara as he spotted Naruto.
''…..''
Naruto completely ignored them, keeping his head high and continuing on his way as if nothing had happened. This wasn't the first time he interacted with this group and he never responded, since he knew he wouldn't stand a chance against them in a fight. Entering their game was the same thing as signing his death certificate and Naruto wanted to live, even if it was mostly for his parents' memory.
''Oh? Our foxy sure is in a hurry… Don't you want to play with us?'' Kisame mockingly asked him.
''Leave me alone!'' screamed Naruto as he continued on with his head held high.
''So he answers us now. Well, let's go guys, my hands are itching to beat up this "MONSTER" hahahahaha…'' Sasori said while taunting Naruto.
This was as usual, they beat him up while Naruto just let them and when all their pent up energy was spent the group simply left continuing their way. Since the blond healed faster than even the majority of the other Hidoki, he wasn't scared about being beat up. But this time it was different. The word monster had come up and he stopped in his tracks. He knew he was the last of his species and that if he died, the entire Kitsune race died with him. He understood that he was a different race and it disgusted most away, but being called a monster was a severe insult to him. For Naruto, it was as if Sasori wasn't just insulting him, but his entire family also and soiling his dead family's memory was completely unacceptable.
Without a thought, he took advantage of their moment of hilarity, Naruto jump on the male that had called him a monster and gifted him a great blow to the jaw with his fist. Sasori fell to the ground in shock, not expecting the blond to answer his taunting.
For Naruto, it was as if the punch had gone on its own, dragging his body with it. On the moment, he thought that the boy had deserved a good lesson and his punch was completely welcome to teach said lesson. Whilst he jumped onto one member of the Akatsuki to deliver his punch, he'd thrown his school bag onto Deidara that stood close to Sasori before punching him. Because of his movements, his black uniform's vest unbuttoned itself. He was currently standing over Sasori, in the middle of the group as a vengeful god: his fox tail frantically beat the air around it, his ruffled blond hair moved with the wind, as did his black uniform. The contrast was shocking, this scene was worthy of a painting: since it was night it was dark out, but since all of them were Hidoki, their night vision is much more developed then that of humans. Even though it was black around him, Naruto stood out starkly from the shadowy surroundings even though he was wearing dark clothing. It was as if a light was emanating from inside of him, there aren't any words that could justly describe this moment. The same moment, the Akatsuki members were terrified, thinking they had underestimated the blond.
Without losing a second, the whole group launched themselves onto Naruto and a fierce battle erupted. Without a doubt, the outcome of the battle was predictable: Naruto, alone, with a seemingly frail body and no combat experience surely couldn't with against six Akatsuki members, Deidara, Sasori, Kisame, Zetsu, Hidan and Pain… right?
But against all odds and without even knowing how, Naruto came from this as the winner without even so much scratch on his body. The six members of the group were all on the ground, with a myriad of cuts and bruises of all shapes, sizes and colors as well as contusions and fractures: they all stared at Naruto, towering over them, with a mix incredulity and fear since the Naruto before them wasn't the one before this battle had started out.
The younger Hidoki stood before them, with not only one, but nine fox tails. His canines had grown considerably larger like those of wolves or foxes and his ears also grew larger on his head. The three "scratches" resembling whiskers on his cheeks were accentuated in a manner which made them resemble real ones more than usual and his nails had elongated to resemble claws. An orange tinted light emanated from him, warning his opponents not to approach and his eyes, usually a vibrant blue had become a crimson red. In this one moment, Naruto resembled a god more than he ever did before.
''Bu… but what the hell is that?'' questioned Sasori.
''I don't know, but it sure ain't normal, did you see the tails in his back?'' declared Tobi.
''Yeah… What the heck is this?'' exclaimed Hidan.
''I heard of it I think…. It's the power of the Nine-Tailed Demon… It's the most powerful god who…. who got banished from Heaven because of his violence. His powers, for he has infinity of them, are the most powerful in the world…'' Deidara didn't have the time to finish his statement as Kisame interrupted.
''And this brat's the heir of it? But it's completely absurd…''
''BE THANKFUL YOU'RE STILL ALIVE, YOU STUPID IDIOT!'' was screamed at Kisame by Deidara which cause the former to gulp.
''Naruto, forgive us, we won't even hurt you again, we won't ever cross your path, we promise, eh guys?'' declared Deidara while kneeling in front of Naruto.
''Yeah'' added immediately Sasori.
''Exactly'' confirmed Zetsu while Hidan murmured something in the background.
''As you wish'' your honor, said Kisame.
''For realises!'' finished Tobi.
Naruto observed the six males currently on the ground in front of him.
''(C'mon kid, you know I can kill them with a simple flick of the finger, why don't you let me do that?)''
''(Because… Because I'm not a killer… Not like you.)''
Naruto returned to himself, taking his attention away from the previous internal conversation.
''Alright, you can leave, but I want you to be on your best behavior, or else….''
''UNDERSTOOD!'' said the group in unison.
''Now, you will forget that you saw me in my real form…'' Kyû added through Naruto.
Naruto, without knowing what he was doing, lifted his hand towards all six men who had all gotten closer to one another, already waiting for the next hit. But strangely, they saw nothing and instead, an orange light surrounded them. A couple of minutes later, they had forgotten everything. The only memory they still had was that Naruto had beaten them all and that they hurt all over.
''C'mon guys, let's leave…'' Deidara said while getting up.
The others copied him at the best of their abilities and left as quickly as they could, one would have said it was a "tactical retreat".
During all that, Naruto regained his original appearance and looked around for his bag.
''(Look over there in the corner, next to the fence)'' Kyû supplied inside of Naruto's head.
''Thanks Kyû.''
The blonde went to get his bag and looked at the time; 21:24.
''Damn… I'll be late for the first day of class.''
Despairing, Naruto sat down on the steps leading to his apartment. He couldn't believe it, first day of class… and already late, he sighed.
''Oh… By the way Kyû, how did you do it… and how did I manage to take that appearance, and how did I beat them, also how did I manage to talk to you, I didn't even know you talked… Is what Deidara said true?.. You're a… a God?''
''(… Too many questions, my little Kitsune… I can't tell you more right now, it's already too early, I promised you mother to…)''
''Promised? What do you m-…''
''(Forget that… I'll bring you all the way to your school, but this is the only time I'll help you for the moment… You have to forget everything… for now. You must forget you resonated with me… Forget….)'' there was regret tinting the Fox's words, he did not want his master to forget and did not want to use his powers against his little fox, but he had to.
''No, wa-…''
Naruto did not have the time to finish his sentence that he was surrounded by an orange halo. He felt himself slowly lose consciousness and he felt like he was falling, but he did nothing about it.
Naruto, unconscious, got up and his eye lids opened to two crimson irises. His movements guided by Kyû, he took his bag in his hands, replaced his uniform and tried to fix his hair. Then, he took in a large breath and jumped onto the roof of his apartment and started his way to his master's school, jumping from rooftop to rooftop.
What neither of them had noticed was that in a dark area of an alley, a mysterious Hidoki had watched the scene unfold from the beginning: he had even managed to listen to the telepathic transmission between the fox and the handsome blond. This Hidoki had activated his blood red irises to better watch the scene unfolding before his eyes. His hair was an inky black, darker than even the darkest nights and skin of the colour of snow, seemingly unmarred by scars.
''Interesting…. extremely interesting…..''
He jumped onto the roof belonging to the blond's apartment and watched him leave.
''So it's him… I have finally found you… Hmmm….''
He then also took the road to Konoha (since he also went there), behind Naruto. Since he knew his name now, this was going to be like as easy as taking a lollipop from a baby…
Tada! The chapter's done! I know it's shorter than the other, but I want to keep the suspense… muahahahaha :) Thanks a lot for the reviews, it's really encouraging, so if you liked it (or not) reviews please and see you again in two weeks for the rest n.n
