Author Note: I'm glad some of you like my first chapter.
I'm not against negative reviews, because is always good having opinions from a different point of view. However, like always there has to be a flamer or to be more specifically…a Guest – flaming like an idiot.
Furthermore, using the word Trash more than once and the always present Fucking. But, I'm curious. How am I a Story Thief? I have read many Naruto fanfics and I haven't seen a story featuring Naruto as Indra's and Asūra's reincarnation or transmigrant at the same time.
The closest story would be Indra's Reincarnation. But the plot and its characters are way different than my. So please enlighten me, which story did I steal (Review Please) ;)

Arc. One: Anbu
– Introduction –
Konohagakure no Satō
Hokage Tower
Six years.
It'd been six long years since the death of the Yondaime Hokage. But the Yondaime's death was the less of their worries. Konoha had lost forty percent, forty percent! – of their military force.
Many retire shinobi's and kunoichi's were forced to fill the ranks. And finally upon the Yondaime's death, a new Hokage was needed.
Shimura Danzō.
A militarist and war veteran as well as an elder of Konohagakure was nearly chosen by the Fire Daimyō as the Godaime Hokage (Fifth Fire Shadow).
Unfortunately for him, his rival, the Sandaime Hokage; Sarutobi Hiruzen, willingly stepped up for the Hokage title once again after retiring and leaving the leadership of Konoha under the Yondaime Hokage; Namikaze Minato.
But, he didn't just stepped up for the title of Hokage, for Konoha's well being. Rather, he did it for the future of one child…
Flashback - Two weeks after the Kyūbi attack
"Silence!". Order the now reinstalled Sandaime Hokage.
In a matter of seconds, all the members of Konoha's Council had stopped with their eternal rant.
Sitting on the Hokage seat, he let a heavy sigh as he started, "As all of you are aware…we lost forty percent of our military force…". Seeing the members of council nod, he continued, "…It's has come to my attention that Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) has been gathering a large amount of their shinobi near the border of Kusa (Grass)…". Pausing for a moment to look at the council's reaction.
To say he wasn't surprised, was understandable. After all, Hiruzen as well as the rest of the council hadn't expected too many casualties.
Like most Hidden Villages, Konoha's Council was made of Clan Leaders, the Hokage's advisors and obviously the Hokage.
His old sensei, the Nidaime Hokage; Senju Tobirama had made the civilian part of the council. It was established so the Hokage couldn't gain too much power.
Unfortunately, it was the other way around.
But luckily, the late Yondaime Hokage had found a loophole in the Nidaime's law. So rather, the civilians could only interfere in times of peace. And well…they weren't actually in "peace" as they felt threatened by Iwagakure's military force.
"I've send word to my student, Jiraiya to investigate their true intentions as they've been claiming that it's just a military exercise…exercise my ass!".
He could see some of the Clan Leader's sigh in relief and some snort in amusement at his last comment.
Jiraiya was one of Konoha's strongest shinobi, being a sage as well. An art that few people had the ability to master such as their Shodai Hokage, who was a master in the Sage Art. Jiraiya was also Konoha's spy master, so if there was anyone who could obtain information, it was him.
"Danzō…"
The say man glanced at his so call rival with an emotionless and calmed expression.
"Yes, Hokage-sama?".
Hiruzen had to give him some credit. His "friend" was hiding his anger very well. After all, Danzō was very annoyed when the Fire Daimyō had named him as Hokage, until he could find a new successor – who follow his ideology of course.
"As much as I hate to say this…I need two teams of your best Root Anbu specialized in assassination and infiltration, for a special mission". Order the Hokage as he tried to ignore the bad feeling on his gut.
The rest of the council, decided not to interfere with their conversation. After all, anything related with Root wasn't a good sign.
"May I have request, Hokage-sama?".
"…and that would be…?". His eyes had narrow slightly. Somehow he knew what Danzō was going to demand.
"Let me train the boy. Under my tutelage, I can completely awaken the boy's full potential and—".
His request was interrupted as Hiruzen instantly replied,"…request denied".
The room felt silent for a moment as Danzō and Hiruzen glared one another. Eventually, after a few more seconds, Danzō was the first to break eye contact with a scoff.
"I will do as you please…but…know this, Konoha needs a weapon and more in times like this…like it or not".
Without another word, Danzō stood from his seat and left the council chamber. For now, he would follow Hiruzen orders. But now, he had twoRoot Anbu teams to prepare.
As Danzō closed the door with an audible click. The Hokage cleared his throat with a cough – bringing everyone back to the reality.
"Now, where were we…".
Flashback - End
Blinking slightly as he was brought out of his thoughts, by a small hand waving side by side in front of him. He let out an amused smile grace his face as the hand belong to his favorite citizen – shinobi in progress as he tried to gain his attention.
"Hokage-sama, are you alright?".
The six-year old boy had short, spiky red-crimson hair, with black-onyx eyes and a reddish tint beneath his eyes – a trait since his birth.
"Mm? What do you mean Naruto-kun". Asked the old Kage with an act of ignorance.
The boy known as Naruto raised an eyebrow in confusion. Did he gone senile or something?
"Well you summon me via Anbu for something important. But at the moment I enter, you…well, spaced-out".
The room felt silent for a moment.
He knew why was he called. The moment Naruto entered his office, he had a flashback. When his old teammate had stated that one day, he would have no choice, but to turn Naruto into a…weapon.
Even mentioning the word, weapon with Naruto in the same sentence, made him sick.
And here he was. About to ask one of the most sickest orders that he had ever said…well maybe not the sickest, if you count that time, when…
'Focus!'. Maybe his son was right. He was getting senile.
Locking eyes with Naruto. He knew this boy wasn't ignorant to what happen around him. His black-onyx eyes were locked with his own, however, he could see clearly as the day – that he was on guard, ready to pounce like a lion.
He had to mentally applaud at the boy, when his little hand twitch a second after one of his Anbu sneezed. For a civilian or even a Genin it wouldn't be a great thing.
But his Anbu had sneezed so quietly, that even an experience Chūnin would have problem hearing it. And for a six-year old, who hasn't even entered to the academy yet…well, it was quite something.
Clearing his throat, he began, "Uzumaki Naruto…".
He had to applaud once again, his demeanor had shift from that of an innocent and confused boy to an emotionless man that knew he was in the presence of his superior and not a grandfather figure.
"…As you may have noticed, Konoha isn't standing very well. After the Kyūbi attack, we lost forty percent of our forces. Then six months later, we were forced to fight against Iwagakure no Satō and even I, Jiraiya, Orochimaru and surprisingly Senju Tsunade we're forced to fight into the front-lines…". Stopping for moment as the mention of his star pupil made him remember – that not three years later he defected.
Seeing Naruto nod in response, he continued, "…and during this six years, we've been able to restore twenty percent of our forces. Even after the small war against Iwagakure…". Taking a small pause, he slightly narrow his eyes over Naruto's own as let out a small sigh…
"I want you to become an Anbu".
But to his surprised, Naruto didn't show any type of reaction or emotion by his offer. Was Danzō training him behind his back? Instead, he kept looking at him with eyes of indifference.
Closing his eyes, Naruto slowly kneeled in one knee as his gaze was locked on the wooden floor.
"I, Uzumaki Naruto, Kyūbi no Jinchūriki accept, Hokage-sama!". Exclaimed the six-year old, without a hint of doubt on his tone.
Yes.
Naruto knew about his special status. It didn't take a genius to find out why did the village hate you, glare you, whisper behind your back or why was their a complex sealing array on your gut when you channel chakra. And after confronting the Sandaime, his suspicion had been correct.
Naruto also knew his mother name, as well as that she was the last host of the Kyūbi. And thanks to his high-intellectual skills, he had deduced his father identity.
Even if he didn't show it, he hold a great amount of hatred towards his old man for making him a jinchūriki. But at the same time, he respected him for sacrificing his life to save millions, without a second thought.
Hiruzen had seen, fought and learn so much through his long life, which it helped him mask his complete surprise. He'd believe Naruto wouldn't accept his offer.
One could say Naruto accepted, because like the rest of his age would say, "I'm going to be a badass as an Anbu!" or "I'm going to learn so many cool jutsus!".
However, he knew Naruto wouldn't accept his offer without having a good reason. Furthermore, he was beyond mature for his age – even more so than an experience Chūnin.
From an early age, Naruto had learned what to expect from a world filled of death, hatred, avengers, manipulators, assassins, lairs and etc. After all, his life was surrounded with those emotions since his birth.
Looking at him in thought, the Sandaime replied, "Please, stand up Naruto".
Slowly standing up, he reopened his eyes. Showing that rather than his normal black eyes. He had instead, a pair of red-crimson eyes, with a sole black tomeo around the pupil in each eye.
'So the Blood Seal has broken'. Though in a tone of surprise and regret.
Surprised, seeing a mere six-year old displaying one of the three great dōjutsu like if it was nothing. And regret, because the only way he could've awaken the Uchiha Clan Kekkei Genkai (Bloodline Limit) was either by life and death situation or experiences a powerful emotional condition.
And it was more likely the latter.
"Dragon!".
From the wooden floor, an Anbu wearing a white mask that resemble a dragon and a white-hooded cloak that covered from head to toe emerged.
"You call, Hokage-sama?".
Although, the voice of the Anbu was cold and emotionless. It hold a feminine tone – indicating it's a "she".
She was the Commander of the Anbu forces of Konoha and she'll be damn if she show any type of emotion.
"As you may have heard, from this day forward, Uzumaki Naruto is in your care. Naruto here is quite intelligent and skilled. I have been monitoring him since he unlocked his chakra. If I could guess…with his skills and intelligence, he's easily at low-Chūnin-level". Stated the Sandaime with a small smirk as Naruto frown at being discovered.
Since from a young age, Naruto had always been rather curious and quite intelligent. He loved to read and learn new things. One day, one of his Anbu that was assigned to watch over Naruto, informed him over the boy' secret training. So he being curious, went and spied Naruto during his training.
To say he was surprised was understandable.
Naruto wasn't just training as his Anbu elaborated. He was already doing the water-walking exercise, which it shouldn't be possible for a five-year old.
And since that day, he had station one of his more trusted men to keep an eye on him during his training. For a boy in a shinobi village it was normal, but for a five-year old, who wasn't even in the academy yet and who didn't have someone to teach him the basics?…well, that wasn't normal even for shinobi standards.
Uchiha Itachi.
He was a primary example. He is hailed as a prodigy and genius among his clan, but that's because of his early training that he received at the age of three with the help of one the most strongest of his clan.
While Naruto…he hailed from the Uzumaki Clan – a clan well known among the elements nations for their mastery over one of the most difficult shinobi arts…Fūinjutsu (Sealing Technique). Therefore, Naruto has basic knowledge over Fūinjutsu.
Furthermore, he didn't received any type of help for his training. Basically, Naruto had already surpassed Itachi's level when he was at his age.
'And let's not forget his Senju and Uchiha lineage. Mix it with his powerful chakra of the Uzumaki Clan and amplified it with the Kyūbi's chakra…'.
He slightly shivered at the thought of a Naruto on his prime, with the Kyūbi's power under his control.
His Anbu gave him a nod in response as she focused her attention towards Naruto.
"Naruto-san. Meet me tomorrow at six in the morning sharp. At this direction,". Reaching inside her cloak, she proceed to hand him a piece of paper with the directions, "Channel some chakra over the paper after you have memorized the directions".
Nodding in understanding. He proceed to read the paper and after memorizing it with his Sharingan eyes. He channel a small amount of chakra, which it caused the paper to burn into ashes.
Shifting his gaze from Dragon to the Hokage, "If that's all Hokage-sama…". Pausing for a moment as he awaited for any type of response from his Hokage, "…then I should take my leave".
Rather than walking through the door and leave. He took out a hidden kunai from his pocket and proceed to stab his leg with it. Causing him to hiss in pain.
Hiruzen was about to shout and scowl at the boy's idiotic act. However, his eyes widened as Naruto disappeared in a puff of smoke.
'A Kage Bunshin (Shadow Clone)?!'. The Hokage and Dragon thought in unison.
Smirking slightly at the boy's unpredictable nature. He shook his head in disbelief. Just leave everything to Naruto to do something impossible.
'That little brat! He actually manage to trick me!'. Thought the Hokage in shock with hidden pride.
'Uzumaki Naruto…I wait great things from you…'
Konoha's Forest – Southwest
Training Ground 12
Training ground twelve is one of few places with long and wide lakes, surrounding the small – but yet, dense forest of Konohagakure. Even after the small war between say village and Iwagakure, the village still hold the same feeling – full of life and energy.
On the middle of the lake. Two boys of the same stature and appearance, stood over the surface of the water – almost like if the water was solid. Both had the same red-crimson eyes and a sole black tomeo spinning lazily over the pupil.
In the blink of an eye, both disappeared in a burst of speed, without disturbing their liquid ground.
Reappearing on the middle if the lake, the one on the right-side had his left fist raised and extended – with the intent of hitting his counterpart in the face. He was also standing on one leg while the other one was being hold on mid-air by his counterpart left hand.
While the one the left-side had his head tilted back so his counterpart fist could pass right above him as he hold his counterpart right leg with his left hand.
Giving him a smirk, the one on the left stated, "If your Bunshin (Clone) can read your movements we such easy, then you're quite lacking".
Rather than getting annoyed, he gave him a smirk of his own.
"Well then, I can let myself look bad in front of my weaker self". His counterpart just gave him a scoff at being called weak, but that served enough as a distraction for the original.
Using his free hand, it blur through one-hand sign and finished with a half ram seal. Clone-Naruto looked at his creator in shock as he had recognized the jutsu even if it was with one-hand sign.
'Shit!'
The clone released his counterpart limbs and jumped back just as he saw the original take a deep breath.
'Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Great Fireball Technique)!'.
From the original red-haired, a giant fireball was expelled right out of his mouth towards his Bunshin. As the fireball was about to burn him into ashes – his clone manipulated the water beneath him, to create a water wall in front of him.
'Suiton: Suijinheki (Water Formation Wall)!'.
Water and fire met. Creating a dense and wide mist over the surface of the lake. The clone instantly went on guard as he hold a kunai on reverse grip. His crimson orbs flickered to left, right, up and down as his senses like sound and smell were high alert.
From all the sudden, a barrage of shurikens came from the left-side of the mist. Quickly, he turned around and started to deflect, duck and dodge. But this served as a distraction once again as a pair of hands roused from underwater and grabbed him by the ankles.
The hands in a swift movement dragged him underwater and before he could react, a hand was over his mouth trying to drown him. Using his free hand, Naruto stabbed his clone on the back of his head. But to his surprise his clone turned into water instead of the regular puff.
Jumping over the surface of the water if it was solid. He flickered his crimson eyes to all sides as he hold his kunai on his left hand.
'Clever. He must of have used Kawarimi (Body Replacement Technique) with a Mizu Bunshin (Water Clone) – that he made after our water and fire techniques met'.
Suddenly, his eyes went wide as dinner plates as a cold piece of metal pass right through his head. However, not a second later, his body turn into water.
Little by little the mist started to slowly disperse, revealing both original and clone-Naruto standing in front of each other. His clone gave a respectful bow to his creator.
"Skilled as ever, Naruto-sama". Stated the clone before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Even if the fight was short. He couldn't continue as his chakra had almost been depleted as his creator was still practicing with the use of Kage Bunshin, a B-Rank Kinjutsu (Forbidden Technique).
One would ask. What was a six year old boy doing with such dangerous technique? Well Naruto copied it from a Jōnin who was training. The Jōnin obviously had sense his presence and also had discovered that he was being watch by a young boy.
The Jōnin seeing no harm, let him watch and even show off one of his techniques like – Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu, Suiton: Suijinheki as well as the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu.
And since then, he'd been practicing these three techniques. Although, he didn't know his element affinity, it didn't stopped him from learning them.
After all, if the Sandaime Hokage, whose affinities were Katon (Fire Style) and Doton (Earth Style) was capable of using the other three natures without a problem…well obviously after years of training of course.
Then, who said he couldn't learn the five element natures?
Kage Bunshin.
If the Nidaime had been a girl and alive. He would have kissed "her" for inventing such a useful and ingenious jutsu.
Kage Bunshin, similar to the basic Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique). This technique creates copies of the user, however, these clones are corporeal instead of illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power.
The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but they will usually disperse after being hit by a strong force.
The clones can also disperse on their own or be dispelled by the user of the technique. Despite being separated, the Bunshin still bear connections with their original, because of the manner in which the clones are created.
The user must divide their chakra among the clones, potentially using up all their chakra fairly quickly if the user is low on chakra, or makes too many clones.
A characteristic that is unique to the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu is that any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. This makes the technique ideal for spying, since the user can simply send a clone to spy on a target, then have the clone disperse itself without returning, to pass the information back to the user.
Similarly, because they are clones of the original, any chakra that the clone possesses will return to the original after being dispelled. It's also useful for training purposes, since the total amount of experience the user gains is multiplied by the total number of clones being used to train.
And despite all this information, it was also the easiest technique he had ever learned considering it's a B-Rank technique and a Kinjutsu at that.
His train of thoughts were interrupted as he received the memories of his Kage Bunshin that he send to the Hokage Tower in his place. His eyes sparkled in excitement and his lips turn to a grin. Although, he was quite mature for his age, there was this childless part of him that he couldn't suppress. He was excited, learning that he would become an Anbu, something that any boy of his age would dream to be…just to be squashed by the cruel reality of the shinobi world.
An Anbu isn't just a ninja who wears a badass uniform and mask that resemble an intimidating animal.
No.
It was far from that. An Anbu are actually the strongest shinobi of the village. Thought one could say the Jōnin are actually the strongest. It's rather just a cover as an Anbu can't show its face in public so they rather chose the Jōnin as the public face of the military force.
While the Jōnin are strong, Anbu are the elites of Konohagakure. Although, Anbu are assigned to protect the village from exceptional threats, conduct high-risk missions into enemy territory, and deal with extremely strong ninja.
They are also responsible for carrying out assassinations, tracking, surveillance, and missions requiring specially trained ninja. Some Anbu serve as interrogators that probe the minds of enemy ninja to learn information valuable to the village. Because Anbu are so vital to the village's operations, they cannot be arrested by regular police forces without a warrant.
So honestly for him, Anbu is a better rank than Hokage.
Hokage may have been a rather good job, as a leader of the village. But why would he be a leader of the village, if its citizen hate you?
Only an idiot would do that.
However, Anbu has its risk as any other shinobi related since you would normally be sent to a suicide mission. They would not always expect you to return from say mission. Furthermore, the work takes quite a tool and sanity as he had seen a particular Anbu reading…porn…in public.
He could only guess that particular shinobi had lost most of his sanity, that reading such a book was the only way to keep him on check…or…he was just a total and shameless pervert.
Shaking his head out of those thoughts, he noticed it become quite dark. Did he stayed thinking too long that the day had come to an end? Well whatever the case, he had to go to sleep as tomorrow was a big day.
Unknown Location
Underground
Main Room
"Brother…"
"Hello, Naomi"
"We've found one of the two sealing scrolls that you've requested…"
Taking out an old-ancient scroll from beneath her robs, while at same time – accidentally showing his beloved "brother" a glimpse of her creamy and soft cleavage. She then proceed to hand it to him as she used her free hand to smarten her silky kimono.
"Slutty as always I see…"
Giving him a slight pout, she respond, "How is it that you don't get all horny like the rest of the man here! You're always so calmed and cool. Even after I show you parts of my body that should have made half the males in this place either cramped their pants or die by a massive nosebleed!".
Chuckling lightly, he responded with complete amusement on his tone, "Maybe because I'm not even human? Or because, I don't have a gender to begin with—"
"Nonsense! You are our older brother and you deserve to know the world of…~ pleasure ~…". Stated with a seductive tone at the end. However, it didn't last as his "brother" stood up from his seat.
"Well, as much as I like to see how you try to convince me to have "sex" as you humans have labeled it. I have other matters to attend to…"
And with that, he disappeared within the darkness of the room. Leaving a slightly angry and slutty women behind.
Next Day
Konoha's Laundry – Market District
Walking through the lonely streets of Konoha, Naruto arrived at his destination given by Dragon and actually it didn't surprise him.
Since every time he went to this place to wash up his cloths, he could clearly see the young black-haired lady who sat behind a wooden desk had eyes too harden. As if she had seen too many deaths in her lifetime, her hands look to rough as if she had been using a sword, kunai or training too hard and her figure was too shinobi-like.
Entering, he wasn't surprised to see the place empty except for Dragon who was leaning against the wooden desk and the black-haired lady. After all, who washes their clothes at six in the morning?
Looking at the black-haired lady, he noticed this time she look more kunoichi-like as her posture was more rigid than before. Her eyes were sharp and shining dangerously – ready to kill any intruders.
And her hands that were folded over her lap, we're twitching – ready to grab the small hidden tantō lying underneath of her wooden chair.
Greeting his commander with a nod, which was returned by the women.
"Good, your on time,". Stated with an emotionless voice, but filled with a little of pride. Turning her gaze towards his subordinate, "Open the door".
She nodded in response and started to channel a small amount of chakra through a hidden seal plaster in the wall. A second a later, a hidden door emerge from the wall. Giving him a "follow me motion" with her index finger, they proceed to enter just as door closed once again and disappeared as if it never existed in the first place.
The hall was a little dark, the walls were grey and thick of pure concrete. They keep walking, until they arrive to a door without handle – mostly it open from inside. Flaring a bit of her chakra, a second later a slide opened up to reveal a white mask that resemble a Bear.
"Identified yourself". Order the Bear guard Anbu.
He wasn't scared to order his commander. After all, it was protocol.
"014323 – Dragon".
Her Anbu stood quite for a second, until he gave a nod in acknowledgment.
"Welcome back sir!". Exclaimed the Anbu agent with a tone of respect. Then he proceed to open the door from inside as Naruto had deduce.
As Dragon walked inside, Naruto follow pursuit. However, the Anbu guard stopped Naruto from doing so.
"Hold it, you are?". Even if he was with his commander, protocol was protocol.
"Let him pass, Bear. He is our newest recruit". Explained Dragon with her usual cold and emotionless tone.
Once again, Bear stood silent as he gaze at Naruto in thought. Giving him a nod in acknowledgment, which Naruto returned.
"Welcome aboard, kid". And with that they kept walking through the – now less dark hallway.
As they walking through the hallways, Dragon would politely explained to his newest recruit the function of every room as they pass by.
"…and that room is where we keep our archives". Said, referring to the room that had two Anbu guards station just outside the double set of doors.
Arriving through another door, which this time it had a handle, they proceed to enter.
The room was barely illuminated. On the right-side, there was a counter with metal bars – obviously to make sure no one tries to steal whatever is in the other side. It didn't take less than a second later and another Anbu agent appeared in Shunshin from the other side of the counter as he wore a…Bear mask?
"Identified yourself".
Naruto had to use all his willpower not facepalm. Didn't he just said that in the entrance? The question is, if he was here…then who was guarding the entrance?
"014323 – Dragon. I'm here for recruit; 012607 – Fox equipment". The Anbu agent nod and disappeared.
Seconds later, he reappeared with a fox mask and the standard Anbu uniform. Dragon gave him a nod and grabbed the Anbu uniform. Then she handed it to Naruto.
Looking at his mask for a second, he asked, "So that's my ninja registration; 012607 – Fox?". He only received a nod as confirmation.
Konoha's Forest – Northeast
Training Ground 24
Standing on the wide and large forest of training ground twenty-four was Naruto as he wore his new Anbu uniform.
It consisted of a black clothing underneath a grey-flak jacket. Grey metal arm-guards and black gloves that reach to his forearms. Black, shin-length ninja sandals with spikes for travelling into mountainous regions, three ninja pouches on his back-waist and a signature spiral tattoo on his left shoulder. He also had a sword strapped over his back.
Dragon had escorted him to this training ground where he was supposed to meet his team. But right now she wasn't present as she had work to do. Putting on his Anbu mask, which it was a white mask the resemble a fox with two red marking on either side of his mask. He proceed to walk directly to the small clearing of the training ground.
He looked up to the blue sky in thought as he awaited for his new team to make their presence.
'Where the hell are they?'
And as if they had read his thoughts, a barrage of shurikens came from his left-side, from the top of a tree. Jumping back, he tooked out his tantō from its sheath as he saw another barrage of shurikens from behind.
As his feet touched the ground, he spun around as he started to deflect every single shuriken. However, this only work as a distraction as the ground beneath him turned into mud – swallowing him, from his feet to his shin.
Seeing as he couldn't move, instantly two Anbu agents appeared in a Shunshin. The first one appeared behind him as he hold a kunai in reverse grip over his neck. While the second one appeared in front of him as she hold her tantō over his chest – barely an inch close from stabbing him.
The one from behind, leaned his head over his ear and whispered, "You're weak boy. Someone like you should be playing ninja, like any other kid of age. Not fighting and dressing like one".
Rather than getting annoyed, he gave a small and low laugh, almost as if he was giggling.
"Well Anbu-san, who said I was trying to be a ninja? And you're right. I may be weak. But…if you can distinguished from a copy and the original…then, what does that make you?".
And just like that, Naruto disappeared in a puff of smoke. Leaving both Anbu speechless. Before, both Anbu could react, they each felt a kunai on their back'.
Not a second later, another Anbu appeared. However instead of the standard Shunshin, he appeared in a flock of crows. He had jet-black hair and red-crimson eyes, with three tomeos spinning lazily around the pupil.
He wore the standard Anbu uniform. But rather than the common black cloth that every Anbu wore under the grey-flak jacket – he wore an Uchiha outfit: a black high-collar shirt with the Uchiha Clan crest on the back. He also had tantō strapped over his back and a white-porcelain mask, which was fashioned to resemble a weasel with a red, triangular marking on top.
"Uzumaki Naruto, I presume"
Giving a nod in response, the newcomer spoke, "You're quite skill if I might say. You even manage to trick my Sharingan for a second. I didn't think a boy of your age would know a technique like Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique). What other techniques can you use?". Acquire the Uchiha rather curious.
"Well, not that much. I master the tree and water-walking exercise. I've basic knowledge in Fūinjutsu. From Hokage-sama observation, my Taijutsu (Body Technique) is high-Genin-level, my Genjutsu (Illusionary Technique) and my Kenjutsu (Sword Technique) skills are non-existent for the moment. I don't know my affinities, but I can use: Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Great Fireball Technique), Suiton: Suijinheki (Water Formation Wall), Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Clone Technique), Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique) and Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique)".
Even if he was quite lacking, for the Sharingan user and his team it was quite impressive for a boy of his age to know that many techniques, hell he could use Kage Bunshin!
"Well, I'm Uchiha Itachi; codename Weasel and your team captain…". Naruto gave a nod in understanding.
"…and from today, you're part of my team. Welcome aboard…Fox".
Three Months Later
"Wait! Please do—". His words die on his mouth as a bloody tantō passed right through his back and came out from his chest. "—N-no…".
Removing his tantō from the dead man' chest. He reached inside his left ninja pouch as he tooked out a black cloth and started to whip out the man' blood from the edge of his tantō. He knew this wasn't the best method to clean his tantō, but he was in the middle of a mission.
After cleaning his tantō, he once again strapped it behind his back as well as putting the black cloth – now red – inside his left ninja pouch.
Gazing the bodies that he just killed for a moment in thought. It wasn't the first time he killed. And probably it wouldn't be the last time.
After all, he was now a full-fledged shinobi of Konohagakure no Satō.
Shifting his gaze to his right, he was met with the sight of his two teammates leaning against the bark of a tree in boredom.
"Finally Fox! It wasn't that difficult, was it?". Said Falcon in a mocking tone.
Takeō Jin — Codename – Falcon.
He had short, spiky, brown hair and black eyes. He had been raised by his mother as his father had died during the Third Shinobi World War. He was quite intelligent, however he had little patience and a bad temper. He joined Anbu when he became Chūnin at the age of 11. He was also quite skill in Taijutsu. His affinities were Doton and Katon
Current age, 20.
Kane Niri — Codename – Lion.
She had long, straight black hair and black eyes as well. She had been raised all by herself, since her parents had died during the Third Shinobi World War. She graduated from the academy at the age of 9. Became Chūnin at the age of 10 and Anbu three months later after becoming Chūnin. She was cold and acted with professionalism, but when she was alone with people she truly trusted, she became quite childless and carefree. He learned that her dream – though a bit of naïve, wanted to achieve world peace. She was also highly skilled in Genjutsu and Kenjutsu. Her affinities were Raiton (Lightning Style) and Suiton (Water Style).
Current age, 18.
"Give him a rest Falcon, his getting used to fight with a tantō".
The three of them had been sent on a mission to eliminate a group of low level Missing-nin. At the end, they had decided to let Fox take care of the Missing-nin so he could gain more experience, by fighting more stronger opponents. Thought the Missing-nin weren't a challenge for their new member at all.
"Whatever. Let's get going. I just want to get home and sleep".
With that, they jumped over dense forest towards Konoha. As they kept jumping through the trees, Naruto secretly activated his Sharingan, however.
This time, a second black tomeo appeared over his right eye. Slighty narrowing his eyes at his left, he could've sworn he saw a faint chakra signature.
'Strange…I swear that I felt someone's presence on that direction'.
Before he could contemplate with this strange mystery, he was interrupted by one of his teammates.
"Come on, Fox! We're losing daylight here!".
Giving a nod, he leaped through the trees as he tried to catch up with his teammates.
Unknown Location
"…—he has joined the Anbu forces…Tobi". Stated a half black and half white humanoid-like plant as it emerge from the ground.
"Mm, interesting…but no worries. Leave him be, his not of a threat for now. But keep an eye on him…Zetsu". Order the man known as Tobi.
Zetsu just gave a nod in response and reemerged with the ground. Disappearing completely from sight.
"Well this is unexpected. But no matter, Mugen Tsukuyomi is still on play". Stated while opening his only visible eye. Revealing his crimson eye, with three black tomeos spinning lazily around the pupil.
"Until then, cherish your last moments…Uzumaki Naruto". And with that he disappeared within the shadows.
