The Tale of Aki fuma
Chapter 2: The Winds of dispair
An hour later
sojiro's pov
Village gates
i will be gone for a long time haru there is also a chance i don't come back because this mission is so high risk and there is no one else capable but me who can take it so if i don't make it back please take care of Naruto and i am sorry for not being able to bring back aki.
Well i am very saddened that you are leaving but atleast i know my husband is a strong and capable man who has earned the rank of jonin so i am proud of you and i think Naruto is in safe hands with all the anbu around our house so don't you worry and i am sure we will find aki soon the hokage is doing his best so all we can do is wait and pray so please don't talk like you already dead.
i know you will come back and in one piece.
she said with a small smile which did little to hide her sadness.
well i am off wish me luck i said with a small smile
best of luck and i love you she said
i love you too i said as i left the village.
WITH OROCHIMARU
hmm this is very interesting the snake sannin commented
as he was overlooking a pod which contained aki
the fuma clan are relatives of the Uchiha allbeit distant but still relatives I wonder if he can have the sharingan he wondered out loud.
orochimaru turned sharply to the door to see his number 2 kabuto walk in.
well the leaf won't find us anytime soon but i have some interesting developments that you may find interesting master orochimaru. said kabuto
Oh ? do tell the sannin replied.
apparently sojiro that kid's father's has left the village on a very high risk and important mission my spies tell me it has something to do with being in the land of wind but the interesting part is that he is only a chunin which could only mean one thing he said.
He got promoted to the rank of jonin but why would i find that interesting? the sannin questioned.
my lord the leaf's Shinobi force has taken a big beating to promote an 19 year old with massive ptsd and truma symptoms is unheard off even if he is considered a genius on the battle field and off of it it means that the leaf is making hasty promotions and sending out Shinobi on missions who aren't of the needed skill level to complete them.
they will most likely host the chunin exams sometime soon to hide that fact.
which is interesting since they almost never want to host it and always find a way to avoid hosting them which means ? kabuto left the statement in the air for his master to finish
Which means we can use that opportunity of weakness and level the leaf with the ground orochimaru said with a sick smile which turned into a light chuckle.
this is indeed very interesting thank you for the valuable intel kabuto you may leave now and enjoy the rest of your day you deserve it.
i am honored my lord he said politely as he left quietly.
Now time to splice the DNA of the uchiha with our little aki here he said in a menacingly sweet tone.
With sojiro (sojiro's pov)
okay i finally reached the land of wind now i need to use my summons to scout the area and a few clones to go to the hidden sand.
i preformed a few hand signs
Summoning jutsu
a small pack of wolfs appeared.
hello master sojiro what can i help you with ? said the biggest one out of the 6
hello tokito, i just want you and your brothers to scout the area with your noses and if you can pick up any conversations about a dangerous man or if you sense anyone who isn't me let me know please
oh with pleasure my master but i expect a big reward coming our way soon.
Oh don't sweat it i already prepared it for you and your brothers but you can have it after you are done
deal ?
Deal!
okay then good luck i said
the pack of wolfs took off into the distance.
now i need to send a few clones to the neighboring towns and the hidden sand. i thought
i went through another set of handsigns
Wind style: Wind clone
2 copies of myself appeared
before me.
okay boys you know what the mission is i infused you guys with enough chakra to last 5 years come back to this spot in 5 years and let me know what you got and you have one main objective don't get seen.
am i clear ? i said.
yes sir the clones responded in unison
Scatter.
we all went our separate ways
TIMESKIP (5 YEARS)
With Orochimaru
it has been years master orochimaru may i ask why are still operating on this fuma kid ? said Kabuto.
because kabuto his dna mixed with the uchiha dna perfectly too perfectly if i may add and i believe there is a very high chance he unlocks the sharingan he should wake up soon so i think you should go prepare his training regimen said the snake sannin.
after a few hours aki woke up
hmmm... where am i? he said in a lazy tone
You are in one of my many labs, welcome young aki. said orochimaru
Umm do i know you ? why are you so pale. said aki
oh thats not a good way to speak to someone who saved your life little aki and as to who i am you can call me orochimaru.
Well thanks mister but can i leave now? said aki
Not before i teach you how to defend yourself incase you end up needing to fight. orochimaru replied quickly
umm okay. said aki in a bored tone
well there is a closet right over there to the left of the door so dress up and meet me outside. said orochimaru as he left quietly
yes sir. said aki
well since i am not leaving anytime soon guess i can use the training. said aki
he opened the closet and saw a lot of different clothes that came in all colors and shapes.
he quickly picked up a tight black long sleeved shirt with a built-in mask (like the one kakashi uses ) he also chose a purple shirt on top with black Shinobi pants and blue Shinobi sandals.
when he walked out he found orochimaru waiting for him.
Oh... you look sharp. said orochimaru with a weird and creepy tone.
thanks. replied aki
(Damn this guy definitely has some screws loose) he also thought
they walked into a training ground.
well this where we will begin our training hope you are ready because this won't be easy. said orochimaru
i am ready sir. said aki
well then i need to test something before we begin, can you infuse this paper with chakra ? said orochimaru
okay i will try. said aki as he took the paper
he did just that.
the paper was burnt then it became so crinkled that you couldn't even see the paper anymore.
(2 natures ? and a very potent and strong affinity for lightning oh this is getting very interesting) thought orochimaru.
umm is that good idk what any of what just happened means. said aki dumbfoundingly
oh this is beyond excellent 2 natures at the age of 5 is basically unheard of.
umm okay what are they. said aki
you have fire and lightning. replied orochimaru
Oh okay well lets begin your training.
yes sir.
With sojiro (sojiro's pov)
Its been 2 hours where the hell are my wolfs...
thats when he saw a small wolf coming to him.
Is that... shinobu. i stood up and ran to it.
he saw shinobu the youngest wolf in the pack come back with a bad injury.
who did this to you and where is tokito and the rest of your Brothers. i said with worry.
Listen master sojiro I don't have much time this was a setup we were ambushed and my brothers are... not with me they are in the summon realm i came to tell you that most likely you will face sasori of the red sand soon.
i also have this scroll it contains every single part of info we managed to gather.
(thats why my clones dispelled yesterday) i thought
well thank you shinobu can you tell your brothers that their reward will be double for the trouble ?. i said
Oh of course thank you master sojiro i will dispell now. the weak wolf said
i sat down and starting thinking.
(I can't win against sasori looking at his profile he is an s rank menace that has very leathal puppets in his arsenal and is very deadly with poisons i guess i will write a scroll to the hokage and send it via a summon.
looks like that I won't be able to come back and see you haru , and you Naruto, and i couldn't bring back my son.
(minato would be disappointed I said but atleast the information i gathered will definitely benefit the leaf so not all is lost)
A FEW DAYS LATER
I was walking through the desert when i saw a hooded figure in the distance.
well well if it isn't the great wind cyclone of the leaf. said a monotone and empty voice
Sasori of the red sand its a pleasure to meet you. i replied back
you do understand that i can't let you live. said sasori
well you don't get to decide that but if its a fight that you want then its a fight that you are gonnna get. i exclaimed
This should be fun. said sasori
as he rushed me with inhumane speeds
I already had my guard up so i wasn't surprised.
sasori tried to stab me with his long tail but i was already moving out of the way.
i flipped back a few meters and went through hand signs
Wind style: majestic Hurricane
I blew out a giant hurricane of wind
to my surprise he pulled out puppets out of a scroll.
one of the puppets looked eeriely similar to the third kazekage
the other one took the hurricane head one but got destroyed.
sasori used the moment of chaos to appear behind me and stab me with his arm blade.
his arm went through my heart only for the body to dispell into a strong bolt of lightning which managed to remove the armour/puppet he had on since it was damaged beyond use.
clever trick but now i really have to kill you since you saw my real form.
You turned yourself into a puppet? i questioned
(this guy is definitely not right in the head)
Aren't you perceptive well time to die now.
as he said that he took out his whole aresenal of puppets which turned to be around 100 puppets.
oh here we go. i said
i went through a series of hand signs
Fire style: Destructive Wirlstream
i blew a swirling fire stream which took down 5 puppets.
but after the smoke cleared the puppets instantly closed the distance.
which surprised me a little bit but it wasn't enough to take me down i took some cuts but they weren't deep.
after the onslaught i was still standing although tired and chakra exhausted but i managed to lower the amount of puppets he had to a mere 10.
Getting tired are we ? you knew this was a losing battle yet you still fought and for that you have my respect. said sasori
i am still not dead yet i will stop you. i said as i went through hand signs
Lightning style: Thunderbite
I threw a lightning bolt that went straight for sasori but the third kazekage used his iron sand to try and block it but the bolt of lightning went straight through the wall of sand and destroyed the third kazekage.
(that was too close) thought sasori.
after the sand fell i saw the look on sasori's face he was smirking he knew i put all i had left into that attack.
i spat out blood and dropped to one knee
sasori closed the distance until he was infront of me.
i will remember your name sojiro fuma of the leaf for now die. he said as he stabbed me and removed the blade.
KONOHA
(i need to find a successior and fast i can't deal with this paperwork anymore.) thought hiruzen
he suddenly saw a wolf on the balcony.
he opened the balcony to let the small wolf in.
hello lord hokage it spoke.
i am one of the master sojiro's summons and i am here to inform you with a heavy heart that he was killed in action while fighting sasori of the red sand.
(No... i didn't think an encounter would happen ) thought hiruzen.
but he left me a scroll and a letter.
the scroll has everything he collected these past 5 years and the letter is for naruto and his wife haru.
i will take them and make sure to give his family the letter thank you, you can leave now.
goodbye lord hokage. said the wolf as he dispelled.
Damn it... I didn't think he would actually die.. i have to break the news to haru. said the old hokage in a sad tone
KNOCK KNOCK
coming !! said haru
when she opened the door she was welcomed by the sight of a Battle hardned hokage who wore a stern and sincere expression.
oh lord hokage please come inside. she said almost instantly.
Thank you was all he said.
well whats with long face if you don't mind me asking she asked in a tone full of worry as she is starting to fear the worst.
Hiruzen began with a sigh, I will get straight to the point Sojiro was killed in his last mission.
Thump
You have to be kidding... haru said as she began crying
I wish i was but this is no joke, your husband was a good man and he was one of our best other than jiraya and minato he is the closest thing i had to a son, but he didn't fail his mission and he left a letter with his summoning before he died he stated that you and Naruto should read it. said hiruzen as he handed her a letter
A letter ? she said
Yes, also where is Naruto ? said hiruzen
he is asleep upstairs, why ? asked haru
Because sojiro kept minato's gift for Naruto with me and told me that if something were to ever happen to him to give it to haru since she will know when to give it to Naruto when the time is right. said hiruzen
He never told me what was the gift lord hokage. said haru
Its a special tanto made out of chakra metal. said hiruzen as he gave haru a box
Well Thank you lord hokage. said haru
Don't worry about it, i just hope little Naruto isn't too distraught from this news. said hiruzen
I will do my best to support him which means i need to get back into the field. said haru
Well i think i can help with that as of today i will reinstate your rank as chunin and put you back into the active shinobi roster. said hiruzen
Thank you very much hokage-sama. said haru
With that I should leave to prepare the funeral for our wind cyclone of the leaf. said hiruzen with a sad look on his face
The following day
After the Funeral.
Hey mom i want to tell you something, said Naruto
yes Naruto? haru replied
I want to be a strong Shinobi when i grow up one that is as strong as my dad and become the greatest hokage this village has ever seen. said Naruto with a resolve in his eyes that she hasn't seen in any other person apart from 2 people his biological dad minato and his adoptive dad sojiro.
I know you will and i will do my best to help you achive that goal but when the academy starts i want you to pay attention and do well because for a ninja to be strong they need to have a strong base. she said with a smile.
I will become rookie of the year and make you proud. he replied with a foxy grin.
Thats my boy. she said as she hugged him.
Orochimaru's lair
Aki pov
Okay this guy is definitely crazy this has been hell... i thought as I dodged a kunai.
oh come on aki for you to get a hang of your lightening affinity you need to be a little bit faster. said kabuto
i need to find a way to escape and there is no way i can just leave they using me for some purpose.. i thought
whats wrong aki you froze up said kabuto.
i looked at the celling and not even 10 seconds after a explosion burst through the revealing a bunch of leaf anbu 30 to be exact.
Location confirmed and target acquired. one of them said (i assume the leader)
Oh looks like i have been busted and i can't just take aki and leave oh master orochimaru is going to be very angry. thought kabuto as he shunshined out of there with Anbu hot on his trail.
What is your name kid ? The anbu asked me
My name is aki and i don't know my last name i woke up in here a few days ago and i can't remember anything before that.
Aki... could it be ? one of the anbu said.
Yes its him. replied back the leader.
Aki you were kidnapped by a man named orochimaru correct ? he asked
I don't know about the kidnapping part but a guy named orochimaru said he saved my life and wanted to train me but when i woke today he was gone. i replied.
well you are to return to our village and see your family. he replied
family ? what is that. i asked.
(He doesn't remember anything i guess i have no choice) The anbu captain thought as he disappeared and reappeared behind me delivering a swift chop knocking me out.
Later that day.
aki's pov
i slowly Opened my eyes just to close them back almost immediately.
okay i am starting to hate waking up to bright lights. i said to no one in particular.
Good morning aki-kun said a voice that i haven't heard before.
who are you and where am i. i said in a annoyed tone.
I am the third hokage of the village hidden in the leaves and you were kidnapped by a missing ninja from our village. he said
Oh that pale snake looking dude ? i asked
yes, i know you may not remember them but you had a family before you were kidnapped. said the old hokage
Whats a family? i asked
People who are related to you aki. he replied
How are they related to me. i asked
Well one of them is your mother and the other is your little brother. replied hiruzen
when can i Meet them?. i asked in a happy tone
Right about now. he replied as the door was slammed open and a tall woman in her early twenties with dark purple hair and was revealed. and a short boy with blue eyes and blond hair who didn't look that much younger than me.
Aki! she screamed as she ran at me and hugged me.
Strange what is this feeling. i thought
hi big bro. said naruto with a smile
um hello to you both but i just now know that you are my family but i don't know your names. i said in an embarrassed tone
that woman is your mom and her name is haru fuma and the boy is Naruto uzumaki your little brother. said hiruzen
okay when can i leave this hospital i want to get to know my family since i don't know anything about them or even about me to be completely honest. i said
You can leave whenever you want since you already woke up. said hiruzen
thank you lord hokage. i said with a small smile.
You are welcome my boy and whenever you need anything just stop by the big red tower you will find me there. he said as he left.
We missed you aki. said haru
I apologize but i am sorry for not being able to reciprocate those feelings although i am happy that i am reunited with my family it will take time for me to completely adjust. i replied
and you can take as much time as you need said Naruto as he jumped up and hugged me.
well i think i can get used to this. i said
come lets go home we have a lot to talk about. said haru
A few hours Later
So my dad sojiro died fighting a ninja strong enough to be a threat to the world. i asked ?
Yep thats the gist of it and since you are already 5 years old you will enroll in the ninja academy along with your little brother and i want you to take care of your brother aki. said haru
Yes mother i will make sure Naruto will be protected. i said determined
good now go to sleep the academy starts in a week so you need to be prepared. she said
Yes ma'am. i said as i went to the room i shared with naruto he was fast asleep already i sat on my bed and stared at his peaceful slumber.
I will protect you no matter what because thats what older brothers do. i said with a smile as i went to bed.
7 years later.
Ninja academy
Welcome students as you all know this is going to be your last time being here before you start your genin exams and become full fledged ninja's of the leaf. said a man with scar across his nose and hair styled in a short ponytail.
I can't believe this is our last time being in here aki can you believe it? said a blonde haired boy.
Yes Naruto you talked to me about this for hours yesterday. said aki
Now for the exams to being.
Can Aki fuma please come to the examination room ? said Iruka
I stood up and went to the room.
okay aki you are required to preform 3 jutsu's to graduate which are the clone, substitution, and the transformation jutsus respectively. said the scarred man.
first the clone jutsu.
I did the hand signs and 6 clones appeared.
Good very good. said iruka as he started to write down something.
now the substitution. he said
I substituted my self with a book on the nearby shelf.
Awesome now finally the transformation jutsu.
I did the hand signs and i transformed into naruto.
Wow a spledid copy not a single misplaced or odd feature. said Iruka happily.
Congratulations you pass aki and you are now a ninja of the leaf. said iruka as he signaled him to come and pick a headband.
i picked a violet head band and tied it to my arm. thank you iruka sensei i will make you proud i said with a smile.
i know you will. he said.
i left and entered my classroom to see that Naruto was waiting anxiously until he noticed my headband tied to my arm.
I sat beside him and he started bombarding me with praise.
Its just a headband you big ball of positivity i said trying to calm him down.
i don't care my brother is a ninja and i will become one like him. he replied
After the genin exams are finished
Hey aki i did it ! said Naruto as he came to me.
Good job little brother i am proud of you now lets go home so we can celebrate with mom.
But when they entered their home they found an anbu waiting for them at the door step.
Aki fuma and Naruto uzumaki you both are requested to be in the hokage's office at once! said the anbu.
Sure we will be there i said as i dragged Naruto to the Hokage's office
Knock knock
Come on in. said the voice of an aged man.
Hello Hokage- sama you wished for our presence i asked ?
yes and i wanted to Infrom you that your mother has contracted a terminal illness with no cure. said hiruzen cutting to the chase.
what?... but she was fine just this morning what could have possibly happened in less than 12 hours. screamed naruto
We don't know but our medics tried everything we could but its not enough we speculate she has until the rest of this day before her immune system gives up i wanted to take you guys with me for a final visit. said hiruzen with a saddened tone as he stood up and started walking while motioning the 2 genin to come with him.
At the hospital
Hey mom, me and Naruto said at the same time.
Oh would you look at that both my sons made genin. she said in a fit of coughs
yes mother we did and we hope you are proud of us. i said holding back tears.
i already am and will always be i maybe running out of time but know that i will always love you both no matter what path you both may take but just make sure you do what is right and stay out of trouble. she said slightly looking at Naruto
Yes ma'am. he said sobbing
well i guess my time is running thin goodbye my sons and i am sorry i couldn't watch you grow up she said in a sad smile before she closed her eyes and to never open them again.
BEEP
I was so filled with sadness that I didn't notice the fact that my chakra was going up to my left eye turning it from a normal black to a blood red with one tomoe.
This has been a sad chapter ngl but i have plans for aki so it has to be done and i have no excuse for the extremely late update i just don't have the motivation but whenever i do i will update this story as it's a fun side project.
until then peace.
Joker out.
