This is not a clone, twin or anything. It is another twist, one I have done before but I will be focusing on.
It is a tester idea, a prologue. All Feeback is accepted.
"And Team Thirteen, Ren under the tutelage of Raido Namiashi."
Iruka's words made Ren smile for a tiny moment. "Why am I getting a team alone, with just myself and my sensei?"
Iruka turned to him. "We did not have enough students for a full team, but you are very lucky. Raido is a powerful ninja, one of the Hokage's body guards."
And like that, Ren was left to his own devices as the other students, over the course of about twenty minutes, found their senseis. Ren passed the time by reading, a comfortable task that kept him calm even while he was left with the newly formed Team Seven. They were all annoying as hell, so he tried his best to ignore them. Though to be honest, he found most if not all of his classmates annoying, something they felt towards him as well.
Soon enough, someone approached the door to the class, opening it to reveal a tall man with brown hair, a wheal scar across his nose, and to Ren's excitement...a sword across his back. "Ren?"
Standing, Ren nodded. "That would be me."
"Come with me, I am your sensei." The man said, smiling at the end. And like that, he was following the man out of the class. "I apologize for the wait. I am a member of the Hokage's guard, and as such I am a rather busy man. You are going to have to train on your own quite often, if I am being honest."
Ren didn't respond for a moment. "That is fine... I expected as much to be honest." he kept his tone moderate, unsure of how to go forward with how to treat the man. He had nothing to go with, no idea how to move forward.
Raido sighed. "I am sure you wanted to know why I, specifically, was chosen to be your jonin sensei?"
"Well, yes. Iruka said it was due to low numbers, but I admit that didn't entirely make sense. I did really well, I study hard and am an excellent student. I outpaced Sasuke in a few areas."
"All true, but it is tied to why people seem to hate you." The man looked at him, sad and warm all at once.
Memories flowed from Ren's heart.
Being kicked out of classes for minor offenses, denied part time jobs through violent accusations, stones thrown at him during parades and so much more. Memories he tried to not focus on too much, for they made his heart and skin ache. Days that stretched into years, isolation and loneliness so intense it made his soul burn with agony. Dreams of revenge long since hidden...
"Please, tell me, why do they all hate me?"
The man sighed again. "You are one of two jinchuurikis, human sacrifices. When the Kyuubi attacked, half of the Kyuubi was sealed by the Fourth Hokage... into you and one other."
The boy recoiled. "They hate me for being the Fox, but that's not how seals work. That's basic sealing, the sealed object is not the thing it's sealed into! Why do Ninja hate me?"
"People are stupid. I am sorry, Ren, but that is the case."
"Is that why people hate Naruto as well?"
The man nodded. "Sadly, so."
"Gah! This is ridiculous..." He froze. 'There is no way they'd let me leave the village, or get revenge. I am a prisoner here. Now and forever... I need to think about this, about what to do, but for now, I need to channel my rage into getting stronger' Sitting up, Ren frowned. "What now?"
"We train you, help you become strong and keep yourself safe... really that's it."
There was a clear lie in the man's words, but Ren kept quiet. "Fine... I guess so..."
And like Ren played his part, not wanting to be killed or imprisoned out of fear from his abusers and prisoners. He would put himself in the best possible light, until he had the chance for freedom.. but until then... it was time to act right.
Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.
This was a lot of fun.
Love, your Ninja Overlord,
Mika.
