Chapter 3: Dawn of the New Beginning

(Woods)

Naruto slowly opens his eyes from being awoken by the chirping of birds and crickets and many other noisy insects one would find out in the woods. He looks around to see that he was resting on the base of a tree with what look like a black cloak covering his body like a blanket.

He then quickly remembers the events that happen last night. From being chased in the village, to being hunted down by the AMBU in the woods, to even the meeting with Kura.

"Was it all just a dream?" he thought. "No. Not the being chased out of the village part," Naruto always knew that the village will do anything to get rid of him and if he was in the middle woods then that meant the events did in fact happen, "but did I really met Kura or did I just dream it all."

"Good morning sleepy head," said a voice right above him. Naruto looked up to see Kura up on the branch above him. Before he could say a word or even react, she jump to the side and land on the dirt road to the side of the tree giving Naruto a full view of her.

Naruto notice that she was wearing a larger cloak similar to the one that was covering him. The clock reached down to her knees and her arms were completely cover be the sleeves. The collar looked like it was able to cover Kura mouth. Naruto assumed that the cloak had a hood on the back but was unable to see it due to Kura bright red hair.

Naruto also notice that the cloak was open right down the middle giving Naruto a view of what Kura was wearing underneath the cloak. She was wearing an orange turtleneck that blend perfectly with her black cloak. Along with, what he guessed to be, a light brown battle/street wearing skirt that reach to her knees and black sandals to finish the look.

Soon after, Naruto notice the giant scroll that was now next to her feet. The scroll was an orange color with red on the edge and yellow on the other. When he was about to ask what the scroll was for, Kura beat him to it,

"Naruto today I will be giving you a chose for you to make and depending on that chose will determine how your life will go on from here on out." Naruto listen with interest as he wondering how his chose will affect him and the other people around them.

"Now," Kura began again, "your first chose is in front of me," she points to the scroll at her feet, "your second chose is the dirt road we're on and going that way." She points behind him but he doesn't look. He wants to hear the choses out clearly so he can chose wisely.

"Now it is early dawn so it's about 3 to 4 o'clock right now. If you chose the dirt road you will walk back to the village and make it there by the time the sun is out. From there on you will continue to live how you were before we've met. You won't see me for some time, nor will you remember any of the events that happen since we've met. However, I will try to help you from the shadows if I can, since I can't be seen by anyone without causing questions to come up." She paused.

Naruto took in all the info he had just heard and was feeling a bit sad when she said he won't see her again nor remember her. Soon after a minute, Kura began to talk again,

"However, if you chose the scroll, you and I will go to a place where I will train you so that you can defend yourself when you return in three years to start the ninja academy the Hokage enrolled you in. When you return you will be strong, I don't know how strong but strong enough to make it thought the rest or your days in the academy. I must tell you that the training will be tough but knowing you you'll pull though somehow."

Once again Naruto took in the info and tried to make a decision on what he thought was a good idea. However, his thoughts were interrupted by Kura saying,

"If you chose the road then turn around and start walking. However, if you pick the scroll then put on the cloak you have and touch the scroll. Remember that whatever happens you'll take full responsibility for what you do. There is no going back."

With that being said Naruto was finally able to make a decision. He slowly got up from his spot near the tree and grabs the cloak and walks over to the scroll and picks it up.

Kura saw the determination in his eyes and knew that Naruto will not back down and that he has made his chose clear. With nothing more to say, she turned her back on the boy and lifted her right arm. She made a 'claw' like form with her hand and swiped down.

Naruto watched with curiosity wondering what Kura was doing. Kura then moved to the side and Naruto was left speechless at what he was looking at. There he saw what look to be some sort of portal. The portal had 'vortex' look in the inside of the portal with the colors of purple and black spin around inside. What really caught Naruto's eyes were the claws like marks on the top part of the portal and at the bottom of the portal, giving him the idea that the portal was cut open by Kura's hand.

"How did she do that? How did she cut through nothing and get a portal? I wonder if she will teach me that," he thought.

"Naruto," Kura's voice pulled him out of his thoughts, "go into the portal. I'll follow in shortly after you make it through safely. Once on the other side we will go to a village and there I will explain to you what will happen and answer any questions you may have."

All he did was nod in response and walk to the portal. Just as he was about to go through the portal, he turned to look at the road that leaded to the village. "I'll be back one day. I'll be stronger so you all don't have to worry too much about me. I wish I could have said 'bye' to you all but I know Kura will take care of me and she might have her own reasons why she can't have you all see her. Until then look out because a new Naruto Uzumaki is coming."

With that he walked through the portal and watch as everything behind him disappeared.


(Location Unknown)

Naruto walked though darkness as the portal behind him and a hole, no more than three feet, in front of him being the only light sources. He walked straight to the hole and notice that it was a lot bigger then he thought. When he reached the hole, he noticed that he was walking inside of a cave and that this was an opening to the cave.

He took notice of the things outside of the cave. The first thing he saw was snow covering the land like a blanket. Next, thing he noticed was that very little trees that cover the area. The last thing he noticed was that he was having a hard time breathing and his ears felt like they were going to pop.

"Am I on top of a mountain or something?" he shouted as he rubbed the inside if his ears hopping to stop the pain.

"Not a mountain but a hill Naruto," Naruto turn to see that Kura was now standing next to him at the foot of the opening to the cave. "Put the cloak on Naruto. We'll be walking in the snow and I don't want you to get cold."

Naruto had almost forgotten that he had the cloak in his hands. Once he remembered it he quickly tries to put it on.

Kura on the other hand, walk out of the cave and looked around. She then stood to the edge of the path to the right side of the cave and look down.

Naruto, now wearing the black cloak, emerge from the cave and saw Kura looking down the hill by the edge of the path that connected from the cave. He then saw her look up to the sky and then to her right side and finally she turn to look at him.

"We will have to walk on this path and then reach the road up ahead. From there we will walk down the hill and head to the village five miles from here. However, we must hurry because a snow storm will hit soon and we don't want to still be on the hill when the worst of it hits. We are about fifty feet above ground level, meaning the height must be affecting you ears and if that's true you'll have some trouble keeping your balance. Now come on lets go."

With that both of them started to walk not saying a word. Naruto soon notice that the scroll from earlier was now strap to her back. He wondered what was in tat scroll, which soon led him to think what Kura might teach him. He wondered how strong he would become, but remembered that Kura said she'll explain everything when they got to the village.

About ten minutes later they were met with the road that Kura must have been talking about. Kura looked down the road searching for anything important to note when, "Naruto do you see those clumps of snow on both sides of the road."

Naruto looked and saw that some of the snow was uneven with the road he assumed that what she was talking about. "Those pile of snow on the edge that looks like a small little hump on the ground. Yes I do see them."

"Good, now be careful not to step on them because to that is snow stuck to the edge of the hill and if you step on that then the snow will brake due to your weight and you might fall off the hill."

Naruto took her words to the heart and said, "Got it."

With that being said they stared to walk down the hill once more. Not soon after Naruto notice that the road they were on walking on was a spiral around the hill and when he look up he saw the snow above him, but whenever he looked back it was as if they have been walking down a straight path. Being confused by this he said, "Hey Kura, if we're going down a spiral road how come when I look behind use it looks like we're walk down a straight path?"

"That because of the snow," she stated, "it snows a lot around here so the snow acts a bit weird around this hill. For starters the snow layers its self over the edge of the hill making the hill grow in size. This hill is now two times its normal length. Normal you can go straight up the hill but due to the snow added layers it is dangerous to go straight up. Thankfully the trees on this hill help form a spiral like road to help people get by. But the snow dose still stack over each other and makes weak snow stick to snow that harden and makes it easy for people to get thrown off the hill. As to why you see yourself going down, it might be the fact we're so high above ground level that your mind is starting to play tricks on you so be careful alright. I hope I was able to explain it to you Naruto but don't worry too much about it because will go over it in training."

Naruto took in the info he heard and it help out a bit, but all he wanted to do is get of this hill. About half way down Naruto started to get dizzy and his vision started to go blurry. Within a moment he felled to his knees. Kura noticed this and asked, "Naruto get on my back you getting tired."

Naruto was barely able to see or hear Kura. Then Kura heard the sound of the wind from above them. When she looked, she was shock to see clouds of snow coming straight at them. "Naruto get down now!"

However, her words landed on death ears since Naruto couldn't hear her. Next thing she knew the cloud of snow swallowing them whole. Naruto was not ready for the wind to be strong, and because of that he felled on some snow, but by doing so the snow gave in to his weight and broke off the sides sending him over the edge.

Kura heard his screams as she noticed he had fallen off the hill. "NARUTO!" she yells. She looked over the side but couldn't see a thing due to the storm.

"I have to get down there and fast. Please don't let anything bad happen to him."


(With Naruto)

Naruto slowly tries to open his eyes, but was having a hard time because he was tired and his body wasn't really responding to his mind's orders. Thankful the snow he landed on broke his fall and didn't really hurt himself. However, he had a hard time trying to get up. He turned around so that he could use his arms to get up. He forced all the strength he had left to his arms so that he could lift himself up.

Once he got up, he faced a new problem being that his legs felt weak and that he was about to fall down again. He was lucky to hold on to something to stop him from falling. He felt that it was a tree that he grabbed due to the wood like texture it had. He quickly tries to gain his balance again and tries to walk again. That sadly that didn't work since he only fell flat on his face again.

He laid there as body got weaker and weaker every second. That's when he noticed something. He noticed that the lower half of his body was in deeper snow then his upper body was. He tried to look put his eyes were blurring out. He could only hope one thing, "I hope that that this is the road Kura was talking of."

That's when his eyes soon caught to some figures walking towards him but his eyes gave out before he could tell what it was. His only thoughts were, "Kura?" then his eyes final gave in.


(With Kura)

Kura quickly ran down the hill as fast as she could. When finally reaching the bottom she does her best to find where he could have landed. Thankful she was able to find the road and tracks that belong to Naruto; however, no Naruto was anywhere to be seen.

"Where could he be?"

"Kura look there are more tracks to the body imprint."

She looked and indeed saw more tracks. She was able to tell that the tracks were made by five people and that one pair of tracks belonged to someone on two legs but the rest belong to things on four legs.

"Those tracks look like… No it can't be."

"Looks like it Kura. You think they were out here for a reason or something."

"I don't know. But the tracks go straight to the village and if they found Naruto they maybe took him there."

"Only one way to find out."

With that said Kura ran as fast to the village as the storm stared to die down.


(With Naruto)

"Where am I?" Naruto was in a room with nothing but darkness and his eyes were still weak and wanted to rest. The only thing he could tell was that he was on something very soft and comfy and what he guessed a blanket on top of him and his head was resting on a soft pillow.

"Relax little one your safe here" said a voice in the shadow

"Kura" was all Naruto could say before falling asleep once more.

"So Kura you have come back and brought back a friend too. I hope we met again soon," said the person in the shadows.


(With Kura 40 Minutes Later)

Kura slowly enters though some glass doors from the back of the house and enters to escape the snow outside. The room she was in was completely dark and only source of light was the light from outside.

"He has to be here," she said to herself as she closed her eyes. After about a minute she reo pen her eyes, "He's in the back thank goodness."

"Wait there someone else in the room with us."

"Finally, I thought the two of you would never see me."

Within seconds something or someone approach Kura as the shadows cover the thing's movement only to have its eyes give away its location. Its eyes were dark brown and the white of the eyes gave the thing a look of power and force.

"It nice to see you again Kura," it spoke.

"Nice to see you too Katsumi," replied Kura

The two were so caught on to each other that they fail to notice Naruto slowly walking towards them. When he was close to see who it was it was all but happy.

"Kura!" Naruto screamed with joy as he tries to run to her, only to have his legs still too weak and begins to fall. However, before he could hit the ground he was caught. He looked to see what had grabbed him to only to be shock.

There in front of him was a woman. This woman looked like Kura but had dark brown eyes and what he can tell was pitch black hair.

"Who are yo…" he was stop mid-sentence by the women's finger.

"Shh... Go to sleep young pup we'll talk in the morning." Soon Naruto went back to sleep again and rested on Katsumi's shoulder. She looked back at Kura who didn't move and had a blank stare.

"We need to talk sister." Was all Katsumi said and Kura nodded in agreement.


(Woods outside Hidden Leaf Village 3 years later)

Seven figures slowly walk down the road that lead to the Hidden Leaf Village all wearing cloaks and hoods to prevent anyone from looking at them.

"It must be good to be back at the village again," said one of the figures.

"Yup it sure is," replied another "however, I have a felling things are going to be different this time."
