Naruto/Sekirei (Earlier this Year/2013)
Ascension of the Shinobi no Ashikabi
Chapter 1
The First
Underneath Konohagakure no Sato
Naruto Uzumaki. A name that causes both fear and hatred to strike the hearts of most Konoha Civilians, hatred for the ancient beast he carries sealed within him and fear, for being the target of his elaborate and humiliating pranks that often took days to wash off, clean or fade away. Most outsiders would think that he's either a small boy who wears inconspicuous clothing or a large teen with great speed in order to do some of the pranks they hear of, either way they couldn't be more wrong.
Naruto is in fact a twelve year old boy, he's the shortest of all his age group at 4'8" (147.5 Centimeters). That very idea of him being inconspicuous is laughable, yet totally plausible. He wears a bright orange jumpsuit, yet can hide from the elite Shinobi task force known as ANBU. Naruto is very loud in both speech and mannerisms, yet can be near invisible in the midday sun. He's thought of as the dobe (Dead Last) of his class, yet he can come up with tactical plans in a snap after only a few seconds of observations that can leave enemies completely bewildered as to what just happened. He is one of the most likeable people in the village, yet also the most hated.
Truly, Naruto Uzumaki is a mass of contradictions that baffles the minds of even the brightest scholars. Loud, but stealthy. Dead Last, yet a tactical genius. Inconspicuous, yet the most well known person in the village. The kindest and most loyal person you'll ever meet, yet also the most hated by his village. Oblivious to the feelings of others, yet the most insightful in his village. The most put down and discriminated, yet the one with the strongest will.
Naruto Uzumaki must have been cursed and blessed in equal measure by the gods for his current life style. But now those same gods seek to topple the balance and give him a grand blessing. Millennia ago, on the spot where Konohagakure no Sato now stands, a great starship crashed to Genso-jō no Sekai (Elemental World). This starship carries the last of an ancient an noble race, The Sekirei. Hundreds of Thousands of years before that they visited Genso-jō no Sekai and studied the early humans, finding potential in Humanity they gave a portion of their own genetic code to accelerate Humanities development. However in doing so they also gave humanity the power to use their Chakra. Now the last of their race lie sleeping below the city, waiting for someone to find them.
Naruto cursed as the floor beneath him collapsed, he fell down a long chasm. Naruto had been exploring the tunnels under Konoha, unbeknownst to him though was the ROOT ANBU sneaking up behind him, just as the ROOT was about to strike the floor under Naruto had collapsed… then had reformed itself before the ROOT operative could get to it. Several hours later Naruto awoke, he'd been knocked unconscious by his sudden stop hitting the ground, an impact that would have crippled or slain anyone else. Naruto stood, slowly observing his surroundings. He noticed a strange metal door in the distance with a glowing rectangle next to it, having never been told not to touch strange objects or go into weird places Naruto walked towards the door. The walls and roof of the room he was in are made of stone, worked in some strange manner so as to have a almost wave like pattern in them, but the floor, the floor is made of the same strange metal as the door and the wall the door is in.
Naruto after a couple of minutes due to the hallway being longer then he knew, reached the door. He extended his right arm and touched the glowing rectangle with his hand. The door opened, sliding out from the centre until it was recessed into the wall on either side of the opening where it once was. Naruto jumped back at the sudden opening, but soon his curiosity overpowered his surprise and fear and he walked through the opening. Walking in the ship Naruto's eyes slowly grew wider and wider as the ship's strange interior was revealed. After walking for around half-an-hour Naruto comes to yet another door, what makes this door different form the dozens he'd passed earlier? The main difference was the fact that this door was decorated with hundreds of strange letters, Naruto stared at the strange language on the door for a second before he once again reached out his hand and touched the glowing rectangle that all the doors in the ship had next to them on either side, an small experiment earlier had taught Naruto that the pad on either side could open and close the door.
