In Naruto's Mindscape
Naruto opens his eyes as he sees his world dark and around him. Naruto looked up to see a large golden cage. There was shallow water that was on the ground. Naruto saw a giant shadow beginning to stir in the darkness. A large crimson eye opened as it started at Naruto. "So? My container finally decides to come in and say hi". The voice of the spoke.
"Uhhh who are you?" Naruto was scratching the top of his head.
The giant fox turns towards Naruto as it seems to get smaller and smaller. The being stopped standing on all fours as it began to stand on its hind legs. Naruto heard bones creak and crack as the fox changed into a more human form. Soon light is shown on the figure as it was one of the prettiest girls Naruto has ever seen. She had red-orange hair with her fox ears resting on her head. Her eyes were still blood red with slits, but they seemed calm, warm, and welcoming. She was wearing a red-orange flower kimono as her chest came out. Naruto did a once over as she seemed to have a curvy stature for a fox. She had nine tails that sprawled out from her kimono.
"Hello, Naruto-kun! It's finally nice to meet you". The woman's voice changed as it wasn't as demonic and loud. Honestly, in its fox form, people would mistake it for a male. Clearly, he was a she the way she spoke and looked. Her hair came down to her hips. She had whisker marks on her cheeks just like Naruto.
"W-who are you! You're so pretty!" Naruto didn't know what to say.
"W-what!" This startled the nine tails as she was shocked. She was blushing madly, "The hell! This is just a kid! Let alone knowing what a relationship is!" The nine tails tried to calm herself back down. "Anyways, Naruto-kun I am Kuruana. I am the Nine-Tails Demon Fox" Kuruana was waiting for the boy to cower in fear.
"Nine-Tailed Demon Fox? Is that your true form?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, this one is. The other one you saw is just my beast state, that is only my spirit animal form. However, this is my true form". Kuruana was a bit shocked.
"You're not as scary as most people say you are? You're rather prettier. I can't believe people call you a demon!" Naruto was scratching his head in confusion.
"The HELL! The brat isn't afraid of me!" Kuruana was shocked, she expected him to scream in terror. Try to run away or escape, but this boy, this blonde boy thought she was pretty. Kuruana felt her heart skipping a few beats. This boy this wonderful boy was treating her like a real woman. A woman who has never had another human think of her as pretty. Most people ever thought of trying to keep her inside. Try to not allow the monster out of the cage.
"Which reminds me, why is this place so dark and lonely? Like there is hardly any light in here. It's really depressing". Naruto looked around as he didn't like the view. "What if we changed it to a mountain, vast valley of forest, animals, sun, and a nice large lake with a waterfall! Then a nice house you can live in!" Naruto smiled.
Then almost instantly the entire scenery change as it changed to what Naruto wanted it to be. Kuruana saw the giant bars break down as they disappeared. Trees shot up, mountain raised up like an earthquake making a new island. A house then appeared from nowhere as it was furnished with just about everything Naruto wanted. "NARUTO! THANK YOU SO MUCH!" Kuruana couldn't even think of what just happened. She just met Naruto, he has already done so much for her. However, all she did was cause him pain and suffering.
Kuruana wrapped her arms around Naruto as she hugged him. Naruto didn't argue as he blushed as she stuffed his face into her chest. (A/N: She got double Ds). Naruto smiled, "Not a problem! I don't want to be a rude host!" Naruto smiled at her.
Then Kuruana smile turns into a frown, "Naruto how can you forgive me s easily. All the pain I caused you. Those people beat you because of what I am. How do you not bear any hatred towards them?" Kuruana asked worriedly.
"I do hate them, but I could honestly care less about them. I cannot however never forgive my parents". Naruto gave her back a cold stare.
"Hey Naruto I know you may not be on greatest of terms with your parents, but you think you could see me as a family member?" Kuruana was had to ask as she was worried.
"Of course! I will be more than happy to call you a family member! I know you won't leave me! Kuruana!" Naruto gave her a hug wrapping his arms around her waist. Kuruana blushed as she let her new friend.
"So, now you there's something you need to know. You may not know it Naruto, but you have Senju Blood and Uchiha blood running through your veins. I know a man was with Mito Uzumaki, she had a secret child who was a male. I know this because I was sealed in her. The man who had her first child was Madara Uchiha. However, he died before the child could be born. Mito Uzumaki sealed the Uchiha blood. The seal lasted for a few generations after it finally broke when you were born. The Uchiha and Senju blood through their veins too, but it is still sealed. The last of the seal didn't reach you, I personally made that happen". Kuruana smiled.
"So, does that mean I got their Sharingan? Is that what it is called" Naruto was trying to think.
"It's a possibility". Kuruana tried to think.
"You think you can remove the seal for Naruko?"
"Sorry, Naruto. If I knew you didn't want me to keep the seal off her I would have done so. Sorry". Kuruana gave Naruto a sad looked.
"That's alright! You couldn't have known that we were to be friends". Naruto sighed.
"Naruto its time to wake up, before you go. I will promise to share my chakra with you. The funny thing is Minato thinks he sealed 2 tails in you. He actually sealed 5 tails in you". Kuruana smiled.
Naruto eyes widen, "How!"
"Not that hard, I was close to the range that allowed me to send some of my chakras into you. I'm glad because your brother only has 1 tail and Naruko 3 tails". Kuruana giggled as she remembers how she played the so-called Fuinjutsu master.
"Did they ever access the one tails mode?" Naruto asked.
"Naruko did then you, but Ninato never did". Kuruana giggled.
"Kuruana you're so mean". Naruto has her a sly look.
"See you later Naruto! By the way, don't let them know you can talk to me!"
"Got it!"
Back in the real world
Naruto slowly feels his body as he starts to stir. Naruto turns his head to the right as he sees Mikoto asleep in the arms of Fugaku Uchiha. Just to his right is where Satsuki was sleeping soundly next to Naruto. The sun laid gently on Satsuki's head as the sun made her hair glow. Naruto felt someone stir next to him as he found Naruko sleeping on his left side of his bed. Naruko was hugging his left arm for dear life as she was asleep. Naruto tried to recall everything yesterday as he realized he could use wood release. Naruto knew he could do so much more.
Naruto snaked his arm out of Naruko's grasp as he sat up in bed. He felt a bit tired, but he felt some chakra being pushed through his body. "Thanks, Kuruana!"
"Not a problem". The connection was then cut when Mikoto awoke from her sleep.
Naruto looked up as he smiled.
"Naruto! How are you doing! How are you feeling!" Mikoto was checking Naruto's body.
On the other side of the room, Kushina awoke from hearing Mikoto's voice. Naruto was smiling at Mikoto as she brought him into a hug. "Naruto! You saved Satsuki! You saved my baby girl! Thank you so much!" Mikoto had a few tears running down her face.
Fugaku stood up as he wiped the sleepiness from his eyes. Naruto looked back at him with a smile. "Naruto you did a very good job in trying to protect Satsuki. You saved my daughter I can never tell you how thankful I am for what you did". Fugaku gave him a warm smile. For Naruto he was in heaven, he was getting the affection he longed for, the affection he deserved.
Satsuki woke up and so did Naruko from each side of Naruto. Soon the rest began to wake up as Minato realized Kushina wasn't sleeping on his lap anymore. Jiraiya and Tsunade awoke from their chair as well. Naruto sat up as he swung his legs over the edge of the hospital bed. "Naruto! You're okay! You saved me from that terrible man! Thank you so much, Naruto!" Satsuki cried as she pushed her face into Naruto's chest.
"Yes, yes. I would do it again for you Satsuki". Naruto rubbed the back of Satsuki.
"Naruto how are you doing?" Naruko looked at her little brother.
"I'm great Naruko. I'm just great! I'm happy I can call you to my big sisters". Naruto hugged both close to his chest. Naruko and Satsuki blushed as they felt Naruto's chest. With his training with Itachi and Shisui, he was starting to get some defined muscles.
Naruto let a sigh out as he turned his head and looked at Minato and Kushina staring at him. "N-Naruto! How did you do that? How did you use the wood release? I thought that was only Hishirama's ability?" Minato asked in wonder.
"Hai Naruto how dd you even learn the chakra control, or to even release it?" Kushina asked wondering.
"When did you learn the Rasengan?" Minato looked at his son.
Naruto's face grew colder and more agitated. "Why should I tell you?" Naruto stared at them with cold eyes. Mikoto and Fugaku were even shocked at Naruto's actions towards his parents. Naruto may be a kid, but he is highly intelligent, this cruel world forced him to grow up faster than most kids.
"Because we're your mom and dad". Kushina inched her way towards Naruto reaching her arms out to hug him.
Naruto said, "Stay away from me. You're not my mom and dad! So, stay the hell away from me!" Naruto growled at them. Satsuki and Naruko were shocked at Naruto's actions. For a kid to be so hostile towards his own parents. Hiruzen walked in as he heard Naruto growling at his parents. Hiruzen was in the room as Kushina was halfway in the room with her arms reached out with wide watery eyes.
Naruto I'm you're mom… I-I gave birth to you!" Kushina was starting to break down.
"Do you even know the true meaning of family? A family doesn't have to be blood-related. A family is a group of people who love each other unconditionally! A family who lives together as a household. Regardless of blood, they treat everyone equal with love and affection. If you don't know that, then your just too simple-minded". Naruto started with even colder eyes. "The worst mistake you made is asking me about my abilities instead of my wellbeing. You should have asked how I was instead".
Kushina and Minato were stunned by Naruto's words. How could a kid at his age be able to think so highly intelligently? He was smart enough to be able to watch and observe them. The way he was, he was not a kid anymore. He lost his childhood innocents long ago.
They couldn't have been more right.
Naruto turned towards Mikoto and Fugaku, "Mom, dad can we go home now! Naruko! You want to come back with us to play?" Naruto smiled at Naruko.
"Yeah! It's been such a long time since we got to play together! Wait, this is really the first time in a long time since we go to play together!" Naruko smiled
The three kids grew quiet when Kushina and Minato walked up to Mikoto and Fugaku. "Mikoto! What the hell did you do to my son! What ways did you make him turn on us!" Kushina screamed at her best friend.
Mikoto grew angry, "I'm doing something you should have done when Naruto was a still a little boy! Naruto has been trying so hard to live a normal life! Naruto is still a child! I'm trying to help him hold onto that innocence! Because what you and Minato did! Naruto has little to none left! Can't you see we are trying to make a better life for your son!" Mikoto shouted.
"NARUTO IS MY SON! MY FLESH AND BLOOD! I CARRIED HIM AROUND WITH ME FOR 9 MONTHS! HE IS MY CHILD!" Kushina sneered back.
"Hey maybe your son, but is he your family?" Mikoto raised her eyebrow.
Minato glared at Mikoto and Fugaku, "I'm going to take my son and daughter back home. Whether you like it or not! I am the 4th Hokage and he is my son!" Minato sneered back.
"SHUT UP AND GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" Naruto stood up. Minato and Kushina were once again stunned by Naruto. Naruto's body began to leak some Kyuubi chakra as his eyes turned red with black slits down the middle. "YOU GUYS ARE NO LONGER MY FAMILY! YOU'RE NOT MY PARENTS YOU NEVER WERE! GET YOUR SORRY ASSES OUT OF HERE! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN! NARUKO-NEESAN HAS BEEN THE ONLY FAMILY TO ME! SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO TRULY CARED FOR ME! SHE DID HER BEST TO LOVE ME, BUT YOU KEPT PULLING US AWAY! IF YOU CALL THAT GOOD PARENTING! IF YOU THINK THAT THEN I THINK YOUR SADLY MISTAKEN! WHERE WERE YOU FOR MY BIRTHDAY! FOR KAMI SAKE WHEN IS MY BIRTHDAY HUH! HUH!" Naruto began to control the Kyuubi chakra not letting too much leak out.
Kushina and Minato could only stand in fear. Their youngest child hated them, despised them, and they didn't know what to do. Kushina began to stutter, "U-um its w-was N-November 24th?" Kushina tried to get it close to the month after Naruko's and Ninato's.
"hehehehe AHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAH! YOU GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME! YOU CAN'T REMEMBER MY BIRTHDAY! THAT'S PATHETIC! THAT'S SAD! THAT'S SO SAD ON SO MANY LEVELS! I CAN'T BELIEVE I CALLED YOU GUYS TOU-SAN AND KAA-SAN! I WAS SO FUCKING WRONG TO EVER CALL YOU THAT!" Naruto's fist was bleeding due to the immense anger that was coming off him. Naruko and Satsuki hugged Naruto as his fist relaxed, "Calm down Naruto-Otto". Satsuki hugged and kissed Naruto on the cheek. "Thank you, Satsuki". Naruko grew a bit jealous, but that wasn't the time for it right now.
"It's October 10th just like our birthday's". Naruko looked down at her feet as she grits her teeth.
Kushina's and Minato's eyes widen, how could they forget? Naruko and Ninato were born on the same day. That doesn't make any sense how could they forget the date their own child was born? There's no way that's possible. "You guys were so busy celebrating our birthdays and training to even remember Naruto's birthday. Mom, Dad that's pathetic". Naruko stated as he hair began to hide her face.
"Naruto p-please f-forgive us. We didn't know y-you went throughs-so m-much p-pain!" Kushina was crying and stuttering through her words.
"Please, that isn't all the pain I suffered". Naruto scoffed at his ex-parents or even if they deserved to be called parents.
"W-what do y-you m-mean?" Minato was wide-eyed and plain out scared. He was so close to breaking down like Kushina was.
"When I went on out, somedays I will be left alone. One day I was being chased out by the villagers. I was hunted like some god damn prized animal to be killed and skinned. When you sealed the demon fox inside me, apparently the villagers saw a blonde baby with whiskers on his cheeks. They knew that I apparently "was" the demon. I was saved by a certain Anbu". Like that Itachi appeared in the room on one knee.
"Itachi" Rang through Minato's had.
"He saved me and took me to the hospital. Naruko was the only one who visited me. I know she stayed the night as it said on the sign in the visitors' sheet. Nowhere did I see your names, some parents you are. When I got back you yelled at me. For what? Being injured and hurt and dying? I couldn't help it. You told me to go to my room, well what the actual fuck you thought the room you pointed was mine. Your idiots, that was Ninato and he even pointed that out. You saw my living conditions. You know a nice thin bed sheet, old mattress, squeaky door, old door, floorboards creaked, the curtains were old and broke. Let me guess it did take a month before you even realized I stopped living there. I only told Naruko I was moving out, she was the only one who didn't want me to leave. She at least cared to talk to me about it, honestly, she was okay with it". Naruto looked at Naruko was a gleam in his eyes but faded as he looked back at his "parents".
Kushina and Minato just kept hearing Naruto's crappy life they thought he was living a lazy and peaceful life. A life of solitudes, but they were dead wrong. So, horribly wrong it couldn't even be described.
"I'm living in the Uchiha compound now, I got a new family who cares about me. Naruko is always welcomed. However, I will never speak to you guys again. If I ever do I will only address you as your titles, nothing more". Naruto kept his disgusted face on.
"B-but Naruto you're my Baby! You can't leave home yet! You're still my Baby! You're my N-Naruto!" Kushina kept weeping.
"If you wish to weep, make a grave in the Uzumaki clan and Namikaze graveyard that says Naruto Uzumaki/Namikaze. That person died a long time ago, you guys are dead to me. You two are nothing more than Hokage and his wife with two children. The 3rd child died of an unknown reason. I have only my new family with the Uchiha to call family, and my last remaining family member who I recognize as my older sister, Naruko". Naruto kept staring at them making the feeling worse and worse.
Itachi intervened, "Lord 4th, lady Uzumaki. You drove Naruto into depression as he almost killed himself the dad of their birthday. He jumped off Hokage Mountain off your face lord 4th. He wanted to end his life he thought he had no more use in the world. No one loved him, accept Naruko, Teuchi, and Ayame those were his words".
Minato and Kushina were still speechless as they had no idea what to do or say. They felt horrible, they felt like the entire world just took one giant ass shit on them. Their world was flipped upside down in almost in an instant. "N-Naruto"
"SHUT UP! I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO YOUR WHINING! YOU DID THIS TO ME YOU! YOU PUSHED ME AWAY! YOU MADE ME WHO I AM! SO, QUIT YOUR WHINING AND GROW UP! In this world, there is always pain, hate, love, war, and family. We humans get so little, yet we take it for granted. What is easily given to us can be returned. You may have lived through love, hate, and war. You have never gone through the loss of a child. So, I suggest you pull your big boy and big girl panties on, because you lost one at the age of 6".
Naruto walked out with Fugaku, Mikoto, Naruko, Itachi, and Satsuki. Before they left they bowed to Hiruzen as he gave a small bow back. Before they left Naruto stopped at the door as everyone else walked out. He turned his head showing his left eye glowing crimson red with slits down the middle, "This day forth I am no longer your son. I am Naruto Uchiha". Naruto turned his head and walked away.
Tsunade and Jiraiya were horrified and stunned. The life they all had couldn't have been so easily changed, only if they included Naruto. Things would have been different if Kushina and Minato trained the kids together at once. This led them to focus on the child of prophesy, "How, how could have this happened! I thought the child of prophecy was supposed to be Naruko or Ninato! They have more tails than Naruto! They received training! They! They!" I don't understand!" Minato shouted.
Jiraiya thought more and more about the prophecy the frog told them. "A child with great strength shall rise above the shinobi. The child will grow and surpass their siblings in strength, master the Kyuubi's power, and awaken the locked away powers of his ancestors. This being will bring peace to the shinobi world. Depending on how this individual is brought up, the will either walk the path of either dark or light". Is what the frog said about the prophecy. (A/N: Prophecy My Ass! LOL!)
As the group walked towards the restaurant to celebrate Naruto's late birthday it began to rain. Naruto looked up as the raindrops hit his face, the rain ran down his face caressing his whiskers. He felt cooler and a bit calmer, but he couldn't help but still have the stinging pain his heart. The pain increased as his pain ran through his heart and into his eyes. Naruko and Satsuki realized Naruto wasn't in with them right away. They turn around as they see a lightning bolt that ran across the sky as it stuck behind Naruto missing him. Naruto felt the massive energy, he was a good distance away not to be harmed. The light that illuminated his face as they both saw Naruto's eyes in a different pattern as his eyes were spinning wildly.
