Crystal Release

Crystal Release (晶遁, Shōton) a kekkei tota, is thought to be a combination of earth, wind and water. First Hokage, Hashirama Senju's Wood Release was thought to be the strongest Kekkei Genkai, however, this myth was crushed after the Third Great Shinobi War and prior to the Fourth Shinobi War, as the Fifth Hokage demonstrated an unparalleled application of Crystal Release. According to some witnesses, he subdued the Four-Tails during the Third Great Shinobi World War at the tender age of four using the fabled Crystal Release. He was hence ranked as the seventh most dangerous Shinobi of the war, which is an almost impossible feat for a child.

Orochimaru of the Sannin tried to replicate this ability with his scientific experiments, even though he was partially successful, it ended up as a pale imitation. The "Crystal Cemetery" in the Fire Country is the testimony of it. It earned him his moniker, "The Crystal Sage", which still terrifies the Shinobi world.

Prologue

As long as he could remember them from his infancy, they cherished him more than anything else in their life. They loved him, without a question they'd lay their lives for him. But… It all changed. Thirteen years ago, on that fateful night.

Thirteen years ago, a Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly appeared. Its tails lashed out smashing mountains and sending tidal waves crashing to the shores.

One Shinobi faced the Nine-Tailed Fox in mortal kombat. He sacrificed his life to capture the beast, and sealed it in a human body.

That very night, he was orphaned, his newborn brother had to carry the burden and endure all the hardships that came along. His brother, Menma Uzumaki, was forced to grow up in solitude, negligence, ignorance, hatred, sorrow and so on.

Now, he will be completely alone, no one to look after him anymore.

It's his fault.

Too much uncontrolled emotions.

Too much anger…

Time to pay now.

Death, huh?

'Mom and dad?' he thought. 'I am coming.'

"Naruto-kun!" Suddenly a very familiar voice was heard. He snapped his eyes open.

"Mami-chan! No… noooo… Why are you…"

"Naruto-kun!"

"Mami-chan… Crystal Style: Time Pod!"

Before he could register what happened, darkness had consumed him completely.


Chapter One: The Forgotten Legend


Kenji dug and dug. 'This seems to be very big,' he thought. 'If I can get this crystal… all our sufferings will be gone.'

It was not long ago that a merchant named Kaito came to their village claiming to do some fair trade with them. He had about seventy people with him, all wearing yellow clocks with a dragon-like symbol on their back. Of course they demanded papers which he provided with delight. However, none of the villagers knew his true intention was. After a month of 'fair-trading', he summoned the villagers in the barren field and threatened them to slaughter all of them if they refused to work for him. Now the question is what type of work are we talking about?

Mining. The villagers didn't understand at first— what possibly could be under their soil. Soon they got the answer.

About three decades ago, a large-scale battle took place near the village. A battle between Kumo, Suna and Konoha. Kumo and Suna unitedly fought Konoha's soldiers. Kumo and Suna had about thirty Jonnin ninjas where Konoha had three Anbu and a Kage level ninja. The fight was pretty much even. Kaito, as a child, witnessed the battle, which is known as the Legendary Battle Of Suki.

Apparently, the Kage level ninja had some sort of bloodline ability. He could summon diamonds, rubies and crystals from thin air. During the battle he used his abilities, thus the entire area was filled with valuable stones and crystals. The fight was so intense that it reshaped the entire field. According to Kaito, the valuable crystals and stones were covered by mud, stone and soil throughout the battle.

After the fearsome battle ended, Kaito went to the place and found a small crystal, with which he later made quite a fortune.

However, he Couldn't get everything out of the place. Thus, over the years he gathered ambitious followers who would help him achieve his dream— become the richest man in the world.

He forced the villagers to dig for him. Man or woman, child or elderly— doesn't matter for him. All he wants is crystals.

They excavated the entire battlefield and found about five tons of crystals. Yet, Kaito was not satisfied. He believes there are still a lot more left. The villagers highly doubt that opinion after digging for months. Even most of his followers believe that nothing more is left. But for some reason, the man is adamant about the matter.

But now, Kenji understands why the man was so sure about it. Yes, not much is left. But what is left is something else. Something completely superior to the stones he found earlier. He knows the true value of these crystals. These are way beyond money.

A few days ago, Kenji noticed a blood-red shining object near the great banyan tree. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it's not a small stone or crystal, rather an edge of a huge crystal. He is very fortunate that Kaito or his men don't come this way very often.

He is almost finished. Another half an hour, and he is done. His two teenage boys are on the other side of the tree, guarding.

"Oi old man!" Suddenly there was a shout. " What are you doing there?" Kenji shuddered. His sons did not signal who? Did something bad happen? Kenji decided to drop the thought for now.

He looked at the source of the sound in fear. He saw a man coming from a few metres away, with a gun in his hand—a thing the villagers were very afraid of; A thing capable of ending a human life in a moment with the flick of a finger.

"Yes sir," he said.

"What were you doing here with the spade?" the man stood in front of him, a foot taller than Kenji— quite intimidating indeed.

"Sir you…" mumbled the villager.

"Is that a ruby?" The man rushed towards the newly dug hole. As soon as he came near, he removed the wet soil with his hands. His eyes widened in surprise. He had never seen such a big stone in the bog. The boss would be very happy to see... or... A devilish smile appeared on the man's scraggly bearded face. He stroked his snout gently; He smiled to himself... hmm, not a bad plan.

Meanwhile, the old man standing behind was trembling with fear. With each passing second, he was unconsciously taking a step back. He has no idea if his sons are alive, now his fate is probably dead.

"Hey old man," the man addressed without turning his head back. "Do you have a horse carriage?"


Kenji had no choice but to blame his fate. He let out a sigh. What was so important to covet? Now who knows what this guy does after he's done with him? Will he be sold in the slave market? Although Fire Country and other countries do not support slavery, people are bought and sold in the black market in a very crowded manner. He sighed again.

"Doesn't this thing go any faster?" The thug scolded from behind him.

"The crystal is too heavy sir." He simply stated.

"Tch,"

After half an hour, the man said in a slightly embarrassed tone, "I need to take a leak. Stop beside that palm tree."

"Yes sir." He stopped the pair of horses.

The man got down from the cart and abruptly went behind a bush. Kenji looked inside the cart, and the man dropped the weapon in a hurry. This opportunity can't be missed!

He gave the horses a blow of the whip, "Hiya!" The horses ran straight in pain and excitement.

Meanwhile the man also came out of the bushes. He was screaming loudly in anger while tying his pants. Kenji smiled a little, he had met his sons earlier, he told them to meet him at the capital— if possible. Now it seems quite possible.

Suddenly an ear-splitting sound was heard from behind. For a split second, he felt a chill on his shoulder — a bullet hit him!

He was falling from the horse cart in panic, somehow managed to save himself from falling. After that, another ear-splitting gunshot was heard, but the bullet did not hit him. It went inside the cart... is that the sound of glass breaking?

Kenji looks back with a trembling body only to see the man sprinting towards him with an enraged look on his face. Suddenly the man stops a good ten metres from Kenji and raises his hand… so he is shooting him… death… the old man closes his eyes and waits for it.

Another gunshot was heard

But it never came.

He opened his eyes and saw two unexpected things.

One— small pink crystal wall between him and the goon. Two— a new figure.

"Who the hell do you think you are?" The enraged goon's furious shout was heard.

"You attack an elderly man with…" a soft yet stern voice spoke. "What is that… thing?"

"It's called a gun." The man said in a mocking tone. "With which I am gonna kill you!"

"Very well, go ahead."

Another gunshot.

"Impossible…!"

Another gunshot. Another. Another.

Before the first bullet could hit him, a crystal wall materialized out of nowhere, shielding the 'figure' from the barrage of bullets. In the end, the wall didn't even get a scratch.

A five feet long crystal spear materialized and started orbiting around the man in a very intimidating way.

"What… are… you?" The man asked.

"Some call me the Godaime Hokage, some call me the Crystal Sage. But I prefer— Naruto Uzumaki."

The spear pierced his chest.
