Jutsu
A cold, quiet night in Konoha-
It felt like a normal day in the 'peaceful' leaf village, founded by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju and his counterpart, Madara Uchiha. It should have been a peaceful day. However it was not to be, with a terrifying roar, the great Nine Tailed Demon Fox was unleashed. Its tails smashed into buildings, killing hundreds of civilians beneath its mighty extremities.
A pair of small children were crying on the streets, collapsed on the burning roads, the larger of the duo slightly taller than the other. A huge tail filled the pair's vision, and both closed their eyes, merely accepting their fate, to be crushed by a stray tail strike from the great demon. However, the pain never came. Slowly, the larger child opened his eyes, and saw a cloaked figure, with a white mask with blue markings depicting a wolf, standing before them. The figure asked in a gruff voice,
"You two okay?" The cloaked figure asked with a sense of urgency.
"Y-yeah…, but Mama she.." the larger boy slowly stuttered. At these words the smaller child opened her eyes and hugged her brother tightly.
"Good. I apologize for your mother but I must depart, you must go to the shelters by the large mountains with the faces on it" the masked man stated.
"R-right! Thank you…" the boy began to stutter but was cut off by the sight of watching the man vanish into the air itself, as if the air itself had consumed him. Grabbing his sister's hand, the boy ran into the streets, and joined the hordes of civilians fleeing from the great monster.
The masked man stood stoically watching the duo disappear before turning to the Nine Tails, and saying under his breath. "Commander, orders?"
A static-filled voice seemed to appear from nowhere, and an image of a blond man wearing a mask with markings depicting a lion appeared from a paper the man had pulled out, and stated, "All forces are to hold the beast back and away from the village until the 4th arrives.
Nodding his head, the wolf-masked man jumped from rooftop to rooftop at high speeds, appearing to be a blur through the night, appearing before the beast within seconds. Forming a bird hand sign, the man muttered "Wind Release: Air Bullets". Appearing in front of the mouth shaped pattern on the mask a series of what appeared to be compressed air balls formed and were fired at the orange monster at rapid speeds, and upon impacting the beast… nothing. Not even a scratch. "What?" the man thought in shock. Forming the seal once again, the man attempted to cast the technique once again to no avail. A series of fireballs, and lightning strikes appeared from another part of the area, with more and more techniques striking the beast, in an attempt to push it away from the village. Nothing. Not even this incredible display of power was enough to even faze the beast, who was too caught up in its rampage to even notice the presence of the fleas.
A pole appeared from the hordes and pushed the beast back, continuously pushing it further and further from the village. The wielder of staff revealed himself, an old man with some kind of battle armour, and shouted,
"Shinobi, ANBU, concentrate your attacks on the left leg!". A cry of "Right, Lord 3rd" echoed from all the troops surrounding the beast, and blasts of different elements struck the beast. The combined efforts of the ninjas was enough to push the beast almost out of the village altogether. Enraged, the beast let out a furious cry, and its fanged mouth parted as blue and red balls of what appeared to be energy began to form from the air and coalesce in front of its snout forming some kind of purple orb. Once the energy stopped appearing and all was within the large orb, it fired it off at high speeds, crushing everything in its path, people, both civilians and shinobi, trees and houses, nothing could stop this destructive orb. A certain wolf-masked saw his vision filled with purple death, and let off a quick prayer to his family and the two children whose names he never learned. Then it was over.
The ball went hurtling across the village toward the mountain where the civilians were being evacuated, where 4 faces were located. Upon the 4th, a spiky haired blond stood atop a head that resembled his own face, with a strange knife held between his hands, with 2 pronged tips alongside the blade, and some kind of marking on the handle. With the kunai still in hand, the man made a few hand signs and shouted,
"Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder". A set of markings in the air right as the ball was about to hit the mountain, and somehow bent the symbols back and disappeared within them. The mountain was left untouched. Seconds later, a massive explosion appeared outside the village, miles away. Then the 4th Hokage disappeared.
This was the day that the Yellow Flash of Konoha, Minato Namikaze died alongside his tale, tale of the 4th Hokage, and the legend of Naruto Uzumaki began. However, this is not his legend. Our story begins later on, in 6 years time, in an unassuming orphanage.
6 years later-
The golden street orphanage was a normal orphanage, with no shinobi above the rank of chunin ever coming from it, with a man named Naoko Shoka being the closest to breaking this record, attempting the Jonin exams and failing by a few points. On a normal afternoon, while a group of children were running around as children do, a single hooded figure sat silently watching them. The child appeared to be completely isolated from the other children, as it was as if the other children didn't even notice his presence. And he was fine with that. Not getting noticed meant no communication which meant peace and tranquillity. Unfortunately that peace was broken by a voice seemingly piercing through the cacophony of sounds, shouting a name,
"Silva! There you are, I've been looking all over for you. The matron said if we are able to find her a 'thing' she lost then she'll give us double the normal amount of food. Come on, come on, let's go already!".
The figure, now identified as Silva looked up and stared right at the girl just a year older than he for an uncomfortably long period of time. Eventually, he stood and followed after her as she ran off as soon as he stood up. As she ran around the corners and through various rooms, Silva merely walked off after her, he knew where she was going and was in no rush. Besides, being alone meant more peace. As Silva grew closer to the location where they were to meet the matron, the sheer silence surprised SIlva, thinking that the girl would be much more excited and that he should hear her by now. As he turned the corner, he froze in fear and shock.
There in the room stood a broad man, with a headband with a slash through 2 symbols symbolising stones. A light red jacket and dark red leggings adorned the man. He held a blade. Upon said blade was the girl, eyes wide and glazed over, blood slowly dripping from her mouth.
"Tch, stupid kid.", The man muttered, before turning back to someone, a dark haired large woman stood behind a desk with a set of bills in hand and saying "Give me the money." The woman trembling placed the bills on the desk and backed away slowly. "Thank you. Now it's time to get rid of the witnesses." With those words uttered, the man appeared before the woman, and cut her head clean off. "Heh, that was fun, maybe I'll take out the rest of these tree hugging kids". The man turned and spotted Silva. "Oh and look, one of them has already appeared before me, like lamb to the slaughter. Tell me kid, did you know this girl? Heh actually why do I care, she's dead pffff." the man laughed out. "It's been fun kid, time to go to meet your parents, oh wait, you don't have any hehe". Throughout his whole speech SIlva had not moved an inch, only focused on the corpse of his female friend lying on the ground. His head slowly rose, and a sudden suffocating presence filled the room. "What? This killing intent, it's so intense!" The man thought as he fell to his knees. "How is this kid doing this? I'm a B ranked missing nin this should be impossible". "How the fuck are you do-doi-doin…" the man trailed off as he saw Silva's face, with a glowing red triangle with 3 lines crossing across the centre of it pulsating on his forehead. "Impossible! They were wiped out! So how does this kid have the Chrono Limiter!".
From the Hokage Tower, Hiruzen sat in his office doing the bane to all kage, paperwork, when a chilling presence was felt. "This presence? It's impossible" Standing up in an instant, the old kage vanished from his office, appearing before the destroyed orphanage. Quickly rushing inside, he raced as fast as he could to the presence he felt earlier. Arriving before the room, he slammed the door open, and found the dead body of a missing nin, and a masked boy stood above it, blood still dripping off his cloak. Hiruzen quickly moved behind the boy, and with a well placed chop placed to the neck, the boy was unconscious. Hiruzen felt the boy's forehead and could feel some kind of mark receding. "It is!". Upon finding this out,he immediately body flickered out of the orphanage, carrying the boy. Appearing in his office, he quickly ordered his ANBU out before placing the boy on a sofa, to rest.
