Enjoy The Chapter *^_^*
Saga #1 - The Beggining
Naruto's Adventures In Fiore
Chapter #4 - Hirudora !
The blonde was walking in the forest, Where his late-father-figure Rayleigh used to tell him to go and train. There were hundreds of animals in this forest but nonetheless, Not even a single of them tried to attack the blonde, Because all of them had become his friends in the past. They jumped on the blonde making him fall on the ground and some animals also licked his face.
"Hi...Guys !" Naruto said as he tried to stand.
"Come...on, That's enough !" The blue-eyed boy complained as he was getting annoyed by the animals licking his face.
"That's why i only hang out with Hirudora !" The blonde said and jumped in the air to avoid his so-called friends and somehow escaped from them.
Naruto continued walking and finally stopped in front of house. This house was a small one, Only made for two or three at the most.
"Hirudoraaaaa !" Yelled the blonde, Someone openned the door of the house and came out, It was a white bear, wearing a black jumpsuit, which was zipped up, He wore small brown boots and had sharp teeth. His size is that of a normal bear, being considerably taller than common humans.
He was the only animal friend of Naruto who could communicate with humans as well as animals. Whenever Naruto wanted to speak to his other animal friends, He would do it with Hirudora's help, Hirudora is naruto's sparing partner when he was just learning the vibration magic.
"N...Narutooooooooooo, Is that really you ?" The white bear asked as tears of joy started filling his eyes, The only thing he got from Naruto was just a positive nod. Hirudora jumped and hugged the blue-eyed boy tightly making him fall on the floor with the bear being up, but the bear didn't lick him as he knew how much his friend hated that, And he too wasn't fond of licking people.
"Yo...Been a long time huh ?" Said the blonde as he finally sat in a cross-legged position.
"Yep, Probably a half year, So where were you ? I mean you should've told me that you were going somewhere !" Hirudore demanded while he also sat.
"Well...Father said that i should travel for a half year, That'll give me experience and also increase my power !" Naruto said as he remembered that the one he mentioned had just died a little while.
"Oh so it Master Rayleigh's command, But you aren't the only one who has been training, I've been training with Master as well, And i was going to come today as well !" The white bear explained but when he saw saddened Naruto, Hirudora decided to ask him.
"What's wrong Naruto ? Is everything alright ?" Hirudora asked with a concerned face, And waited for his friend's answer.
"Father...Rayleigh...He died yesterday !" When the bear heard these words, He was broken and wanted to cry but controlled himself, Knowing that if he shows a sign of sadness that would sadden his friend and so he controlled his emotions.
"I...I'm sorry !" Hirudora said with all the strength he could muster up.
"Don't be...I met my real father !" Naruto finished as his sad face was exchanged with a soft grin.
"No way...But how ?" The white bear asked with a confused face, He was completely shocked because he was the second person who knew about Naruto's past including him coming to this world through a portal, And if Hirudora remembered correctly his blonde didn't have parents in the Elemental Nations and meeting his father in Earthland was really something.
"Okay...Listen up...And that's about it !" The blue-eyed boy completed as a his soft grin became wider and he chuckled at the expressions that Hirudora was giving, The blonde was laughing at his friend.
"W...Woah...Anyways, Am i really looking that funny ?" Asked the bear with a annoyed look, And got pissed of when Naruto said "Yeah".
"Let's get something to eat, I've got something !" Hirudora said and both went inside his house and chitchated for about an hour while eating.
"Hahahaah, That was funny, Anyways...What will you do now ?" The bear friend of Naruto questioned, Curiosity was filled in his voice.
"I'd probably join a guild...And well i have one in mind as well !" The boy explained as a grin made it's way onto his face.
"Well which guild do you have in mind ?" Hirudora said and waited for the boy's answer patiently.
"Ummmm...Let me see...Probably Fairy Tail !" The blonde said as he let out chuckle, Naruto could already imagine the adventures he was going to have in the guild Fairy Tail, But when he looked at his terrified friend and fear in his eyes, Naruto couldn't help but ask.
"What's wrong Hirudora ?" Said the boy worriedly.
"Na...Na...Na...Naruto...Do.n't...joi...n...Fairy Tail !" Said the bear stuttering.
"First of all i'm not your enemy so talk normally, Second...Why ? If you don't give me a proper explanation i won't be able to decide !" Naruto demanded, The bear only nodded and his face got serious all of sudden.
"It was four years ago...in year X778 (present X782) It was raining a lot, And you know how much i hate rain, But well that wasn't the only problem, The lightning was striking the ground time to time as well, Not to mention that i was hungry as well, But then i saw hope...I saw the guild hall of Fairy Tail, Are you getting it ?" Hirudora explained and waited for his friends answer because he was making sure that Naruto was listening, He again continued when he got a positive nod from the blonde.
"I ran towards the gate and knocked the door politely, I had to wait for five minutes, While waiting i was hearing a lot of noises as well and but finally extremely short, elderly man with black eyes and he was also bald with only the outer rims of his head with some white hair. He also had a thick white mustache, That man opened the door, I asked him if i could come in and he said "You may, Young one !" and i just entered the Guild !" Said the bear and looked at his friend.
"Okay...What happened next ?" Naruto said with curiosity.
"Well once i entered the guild i asked that old man if i could have some fruits to, The old man got me three apples and 2 bananas, I happily ate them and with just that my belly was full. But...It was still raining and i didn't want to go outside so i asked that same old man if i could stay till the rain stopped !" Hirudora said and took a deep breath, His serious face now again trembling with fear.
"Hey Hirudora, Up until now the things that you told me are good, Why shouldn't i join such a wonderful guild." Said the blonde getting annoyed because, All the things that his friend had told were some great things, And for these qualities anyone would join the guild.
"That's when it all began...A boy mascular with black hair and black eyes was walking inside the guild without any clothes on, Another guy with pink-colored hair also with a mascular body punched the naked boy and told him to wear the clothes, The naked boy then jumped at the pink kid, At the last second the pink kid ducked and the naked boy crashed in a girl with white hair, She got angry and then punched the boy, The naked boy dodged the punch and it struck a cake, A red-haired girl walked and saw her cake...and then...she did...and then the gia..." The white-bear had tears falling from his eyes as he remembered his darkest memory of life, The blonde patted his shoulder and grinned.
"Now now, Don't cry Hirudora. You are my best buddy and i can't bear to see you in such a state. You are a fighter !" The blonde as his smile never wavered, Hirudora who was currently looking down now looked up at his friend, Still having tears.
"So, You won't join the guild then ?" The bear said, And was grinning as he had expected a good answer.
"Nope...There is no way that i won't join Fairy Tail, It just sounds amazingly crazy, And well if you know me. I love crazy people and crazy places !" Naruto said as his grin got even wider.
"Thanks for listening to me !" Said the bear as he bowed down to show his gratitude.
"Why are you thanking m-..." The man was cut off by his un-human friend.
"Because if i know you well, Once you make your mind nothing can change it unless you see it in person, But you still heard what i said...So thank yo-..." The white-colored bear was continuing and was still thanking the boy but was interrupted by the very same person.
"Well if you want to thank me, There is one way you can do that !" Naruto said as he put a question in front of Hirudora, Which he had to ask.
"And that would be ?" Hirudora spoke with determination in his voice, As if he would do anything the blonde would ask of him.
"Just say Good-Bye to everyone for me.." The blonde said emotionlessly making the bear wide-eyed.
"Why...Why Naruto ? You do know that's the hardest thing f-...!" The bear was once again interrupted by Naruto.
"But you are the only one who can do it, Just say these words to them, I'm going but i'll always be with you, Our paths may be different but our destination, Our goals, Our dreams are the same...To complete Rayleigh's wishes, To use our powers to protect the innocent and to punish the evil ones. That's about it !" Although the blonde wasn't serious at all in the beggining but these words made him emotional so without wasting any time he started moving out of the house, Naruto started walking away in the direction of Clover town so that he could ask about Magnolia Town and join Fairy Tail. Naruto was moving towards his goals, The blonde just waved his hand once without looking back, Because he had slight tears in his eyes and didn't want Hirudora to see them.
"Naruto...I'll always be grateful to for what you've done, And i won't come in your path become a fine mage !" Were the bears final thoughts as he saw the blonde walking towards the thing that he wanted. While Naruto was moving forward, Hirudora was thinking about their first encounter in the past.
Flashback Start (One Month, And Two Weeks After The Training Began) :
"Naruto, That's enough for today. Let's get something to eat !" Said the white-haired man with a grin. The blonde undid his jutsu and all the clones were gone.
"Phew...I'm exhausted !" The blue-eyed boy said and followed his father to eat.
"Oh no...There is no food, I must've ate all !" Rayleigh exclaimed as they searched the whole refrigerator but found nothing, This made the blonde have a tick mark on his head, And also his eye brow started twitching as well.
"I come all exhausted from the training and you say there is no food ! Damn !" Shouted the blonde as he got angry, His stomach kept telling him "Fooooood, FooooD" but well what could he do except for waiting for his father to go and get the food, But he was shocked when he heard Rayleigh say.
"What come on, Why do i have to g-..." The boy was cut off and was also horrified when the old man sent a glare at him, Without arguing further Naruto left for the Clover Town so that he could buy something, But there was a problem between Clover Town and Rayleigh's house was the fores where Naruto trained and had to go through that forest first to get to Clover town.
As he was walking in the middle of the forest, He had to be extra careful so that he wouldn't run into a fierce animal, Normally it wouldn't be a problem for him but because he had used up all of his chakra in summoning thousand clones and couldn't use chakra anymore, So he had to be careful.
"What's that ?" The boy murmured as something caught his attention and stopped him in his tracks. Naruto saw that a giant lion, At least five times bigger than a normal one was fighting a white bear. They were both fighting but because the white bear's left leg was severly injured it couldn't keep up with the lion.
"I don't want to fight you !" Said the white bear as it dodged a fierce claw attact from the lion, And jumped to attack but his attack was also dodged.
"He can talk !" Naruto thought as he for the first time ever in his life saw an animal talking. The blonde boy was shocked to the core, To see a animal fighting with Karate and also who can speak, It was really the rarest thing ever.
"Hyaaaaaa !" The bear shouted as he kicked lion in the face but it's claw got the bear first and it fell on the ground with blood leaking through it's left leg.
"Grrrrrrr !" The lion then jumped on the poor bear just to be stopped by the sudden appearence of Naruto.
"Vibration Punch !" The blonde yelled as he concentrated his magic power and readied his attack if the beast attacked. And as the blonde had expected the lion jumped at him, Quickly ducking and getting down and then the blue-eyed boy punched the lion with his Vibration-magic-engulfed punch, But when it struck the beast at the last second it wavered, Because Naruto wasn't perfect on it yet. Althought the attack was weak, It still damaged the animal.
"Grrrrrr !" Sounded the beast as it saw two preys in front of it.
"Hey...!" Naruto said as he without taking his eyes off the lion got back towards the bear.
"How can you talk ?" The blonde intriguingly asked and prepared another vibration punch.
"Arhhhhhhh !" Unknown to the boy he had walked up on the injured leg of the bear, This got his attention and so he turned to the bear, Seeing this was a rare opportunity the beast jumped at the blonde and attacked, Now Naruto's right shoulder was in the lion's sharp teeth.
"Arrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhh !" Screamed the young boy as he suffered pain from his shoulder. When the bear noticed that the lion's attention was completely towards Naruto, He quickly stood and got back a little and kicked the lion with his full force, The attack wasn't that affective but it made the lion leave the boy's shoulder.
"Haaaaa, Arghhhhh...Damn it !" Mumbled the blonde as he held his right shoulder with his left hand.
"Are you alright human ?" The bear said plainly.
"Yeah, My shoulder almost got ripped apart but other than that i'm fine !" Naruto stated as he held his shoulder to stop the bleeding. Their conversation was interrupted when they heard a loud roar from the lion. The beast attacked the bear and because of the injured leg, It couldn't move in time to save itself...The lion was coming near and near to bite his neck and rip it off but the giant monster was again stopped by the Vibration Punch from Naruto, Even this time it wasn't successful, But was powerful enough to stop the beast from killing the poor bear.
"What's your name ?" Naruto asked with a grin without taking his eyes off fierce animal.
"I'm Hirudora, And what about your's Human ?" The bear now called Hirudora replied with a question of his own.
"Oh me...I'm Naruto...Naruto Uzumaki !" The boy replied and then both turned to face the lion.
"Well, Let's try our last best move !" Hirudora confidently stated as he held his left leg with his left hand.
"Fine by me !" Replied Naruto and both charged towards the beast just to be knocked off by it's powerful claw. Both fell on the ground when the lion first claw-attacked the white-colored bear and then the blonde human.
"Arrghhhhhh !" Both screamed in pain in almost perfect unison.
"Damn...If only i hadn't used up all of my chakra in the training, And since i'm don't have mastery over magic, There's no way we'll survive !" Naruto thought as he looked at the lion that was slowly slowly coming to it's preys.
"Hey, Naruto Uzumaki...Thanks !" Hirudora said getting the blonde's attention.
"Wh...Why ?" Questioned the blonde as he saw some tears coming out of Hirudora's eyes.
"It's because...In my entire life, No one...Not even my parents, Risked their lives for me ! But...But you did !" The white-colored bear answered as the tears didn't stop falling.
"Guess that makes me your friend, Doesn't it ?" The boy said while grinning.
"Friend..." Was all that the bear could say the his tears had stopped shedding.
"Yes, Friends protect each other..." Naruto stated while still maintaining his grinning at the bear.
"Yes...We are friends !" Hirudora said as he for the first time ever in his life got the chance to enjoy the joy of having a friend.
"Now let's not die here !" Naruto ordered as he tried his hardest to stand still having his left arm over his right shoulder covering the wound, And also stopping the blood.
"Yeah." Hirudora followed Naruto and now both were standing to face the lion once again. The lion was still moving towards them.
"Now listen, He can't understand what i'm saying...I'll go head on and attack the lion, When it defends itself from my attack you go behind him and try to get it's attention once it looks at you i'll deal the fininshing blow. Got that my friend !" The blue-eyed boy took the lead and instructed his newly made friend. When Hirudora heard the order he just nodded while grinning.
"Okay here goes nothing...Vibration Punch !" Naruto yelled as he ran towards the lion and punched it's jaw with all of his force, The boy's attack didn't affect it that much but it was just to get it's attention, Following suit Hirudora went behind and kicked the beast getting it's attention towards himself.
"Okay, Shadow Clone Jutsu !" The boy yelled and in a poof of smoke 10 Naruto's appeared and all attacted the distracted lion in unison. When the lion got attacked by 10 Narutos it really got pissed off and attacked all the clones making all of them disappear. And then without wasting a second attacked the real one and Hirudora both were on ground once again, But this time they wouldn't be able to counter-attack as the beast was moving way to fast compared to last time.
"Well...It was nice knowing ya Hirudora !" Said the blonde as he thought these were his final words.
"I also had fun Naruto my friend !" Hirudora stated and both closed their eyes and braced themselves for what seemed inevitable. The lion's sound of footsteps couldn't be heard and this was really confusing, Although it would be a good thing, If it was gone but something like that was impossible. Both Naruto and Hirudora out of curiosity opened their eyes to see Rayleigh standing between them and the Lion. The blonde got a lot happier by seeing the old man, While Hirudora was confused why was his friend happy. Did Rayleigh's arrival ensure their safety of life.
"Father..." The blonde said, His eyes were filled with hope.
"I was getting worried, Normally it would take you 45 Minutes at the most but today...Well, So i got tired and came to check out what was happening ? And here i'm seeing that my son is getting his ass kicked by a grown-up cat !" Rayleigh coldly said as his eyes filled with rage looked at the lion. The lion rushed towards the Rayleigh. The lion was thinking of Rayleigh as his third prey.
"Beast, Let me show you what was my son trying to do ?...But with a little bit perfection !" Yelled the white-haired man as he also ran towards the lion, Before they clashed Rayleigh's hand started glowing with dark-violet color, He was focusing vibrations in his magic.
"Vibration Punch !" Rayleigh roared as he struck the lion on it's chin from downwards sending it flying in the sky. The old man gave a sigh before turning to Naruto.
"Phew, That wasn't even a workout, Anyways let's get you home !" Rayleigh said and got them both to the house and then went to buy something to eat as well. The blonde boy told his father-figure the bravery of Hirudora.
"Anyways, Father you said with that you'll show that lion the attack with perfection, That only means..." The boy was getting suspicious as Rayleigh let out a chuckle but calmed down seeing as even though the old man seeing the whole thing and didn't jump in earlier but still saved them in the end.
"Master Rayleigh...Please train me as well !" The white-colored bear requested and Rayleigh looked at Naruto who gave a nod, The old man agreed and afterwards Hirudora was trained by Rayleigh in the arts of Karate. The bear and the blonde would also spar a lot as well.
Flashback END :
"TAKE CARE NARUTOOOOOOOOO !" Hirudora yelled while he shed a few tears, The blonde again waved his hand without turning back. After a minute or so, Naruto was out of the sight, He was completely gone.
"Now to give them the massage Naruto gave me !" The white bear said as he turned and walked where the other animals were supposed to be.
"I'll train everyday, And once i think i'm strong enough i might come and join Fairy Tail with you. Naruto !" Hirudora vowed and started telling the animals Naruto's-final-assumed-massage. They all started crying because they were really close to the blonde, But Hirudora was grinning knowing that his friend was happy.
With Naruto :
"Hirudora..." The blonde thought as he finally saw the Clover Town after walking for 20 minutes.
"Anyways, When should i start training with the Scroll ?" Naruto murmured to himself as he remembered something.
Flashback Start :
"I'll restore the seal, But before that Inu, Saru, Tori, Hitsuji...Summoning Jutsu !" The blonde hokage whispered, Murmuring was all he could at this time because his energy was almost up.
"What's this father ?" Naruto asked as curiosity got the better of him.
"This scroll, It contains my best jutsus and not to mention the one that i couldn't achieve, All the ways and methods are written in this scroll...I'm sorry Naruto but this is all i can give you. My Son..." Minato spoke his final words and restored the seal and faded away with a smile on his face, That smile meant everything to Naruto even though it was for a short moment. Naruto was able to meet his real father and all his bad feelings for him were changed.
Flashback END :
"It's probably better i train once i register to the guild !" The boy said and started walking towards the Clover Town.
