Chapter 1
The blonde boy was having an okay day so far. When he looked at the calendar, he noticed that today was his birthday. Six years ago on this day, he used to find a place and hide. Most of the time, certain ANBU members named Inu (Kakashi), Hebi (Anko), Neko (Yugao), and Ushi (Asuma) would take care of him and either get him into the ANBU HQ where most of the ANBU looked after him or his academy sensei Iruka would if he could find him. As he got ready for school, he hoped this year would be different. He quickly dressed in his orange jumpsuit and strapped his kunai holster to his right leg and his shuriken pouch to his hip and left his apartment, locking the door as he did so.
He was a few blocks from the academy when he felt something impact his head. He slightly turned his head to see a man standing there with three of his friends, and the center man was tossing a rock up and down. He noticed that he was a jounin. The boy shrugged and kept walking to his destination.
"Oi," he heard one of them say. "Don't ignore us boy!"
Naruto kept walking. He knew turning around would be the dumbest thing one could do, so he just kept walking. Then slowly, he heard the voices behind him growing in volume. He heard more feet behind him and he sighed.
"I just wanted today to be a good day," he thought.
Then he felt a brick impact the back of his head and he quickly ducked before a second one could hit him. He spun on his feet and turned, punching the man who threw the brick in the nose, snapping his head back and shattering his nose. The man cried out in pain and then quickly got up, drawing a kunai. Sadly, due to years of biased instructors that would barely teach him anything, Naruto's gen, tai and ninjutsu skills were below academy level at best and he was quickly taken down.
No one said anything as the mob of twenty men and women and ten shinobi dragged him into the alley that was near the school; in fact, some of them even cheered and joined. Naruto was slammed into a wooden cross, where two ANBU held him and a chunin took out some kunai and stabbed them into his hands and feet. Naruto cried out in pain and the mob laughed.
"Today, we exact our revenge for our families and the fourth demon," a silver haired chunin snarled as he took out a kunai and swung it.
Blood flew.
-Academy-
It was just like any other day in the academy. Students that were friends sat with each other and talked about what they did the previous day after school. A secondary topic was what most of them would do for the Kyuubi Festival. Most would be spending time with friends, some would be babysitting younger siblings as they had fun. One such boy who wouldn't be doing anything was the king of all brooders, Uchiha Sasuke.
You see, this kid was bitter because about five or so years ago, his eldest brother Taichi, a former jounin, murdered the entire clan except him and his mother Mikoto; his older brother Itachi died protecting him and his mom. Now Mikoto was broken up about it and grieved, but didn't wallow in self pity. Sasuke was the opposite. He was still grieving, but in his own unique way.
Sasuke would sit around and brood during class, but he had this thing going for him. It was a process. He'd walk around town, hands in his pockets, looking all cool and stuck up, and then BAM! He'd mutter his clans trademark Hn if he was ever interrupted in his walking. He'd act all superior and crap and then when he saw someone that was stronger than him, he somehow got it into his head that he needed to beat said person. Sometimes it would work, well with those that kissed the stick that was up the boy's ass. Then others, like when he tried asking this snaked masked ANBU for training, he'd be denied. Then he would try demanding it, and got his ass kicked.
Also, did I mention that he was so dumb and stupid? All he ever talked about was revenging his clan and reviving it. He said he didn't want his mother's help, that'd he do it all on his own. But that can't happen right? I mean that's impossible right? A guy can't asexually reproduce last time I checked and yet this bastard is somehow going to miraculously do it on his damn own.
What makes it even more worse is the fact that this guy has got it made! He's got people bowing at his feet! He's got girls his age and some even older than him that are throwing them at him, willing to give up their maidenhood for this fag. Some of these chicks are even willing to cheat on their boyfriends, husbands or what have you, just to spend a night with the "Last Son of the Uchiha." But he pays no attention to any of them! Excuse my French but, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS BITCH! IS HE FUCKING GAY! You know what, no, I'm done with this fool.
Sasuke looked to the door as their class's sensei walked in. Umino Iruka was was in his mid-twenties and was wearing the tan chunin vest that all Konoha nin in betweeen Genin and Jounin wore. His class was filled with clan heirs. You had Mr. Brooder, Yamanka Ino, Hyuuga Hinata, Aburame Shino, Akimichi Choji, Nara Shikamaru, Inuzuka Kiba and Kurama Yokishino. Three heiresses and five heirs. Everyone else was a civilian or so he thought. You see, he was apart of ANBU at one point, the second-in-command, codenamed Ryu II by his superior who would give him the Ryu I mask if the old commander ever retired. But Iruka decided to leave while he could before he got too into the bloodshed and couldn't get out.
Anyways, Iruka started calling roll, making sure each student was there. He frowned when he called his otouto's name and saw he wasn't in his seat. He worried about him and hoped he was just hiding from the mobs that would be looking for him today.
"All right class," Iruka said. "Now normally, we'd go over what we did previously before. But today, the Hokage has given us a few D-ranked missions."
Kiba cheered. "Yahhoooo! You hear that buddy! We're not even genin yet and we get to have a mission."
"Quiet Kiba," Iruka scolded. "Anyways, as a class, we are to help set up with for the festival and the parade at midnight. Do you all understand?"
Everyone nodded.
"Good," Iruka said. "Now then, as a simulation, we're going to set you up in three man teams and before you try and sit with your friends, I've set them up all ready. So when I call out the teams, you'll line up by team and then a Jounin will come and act as the pseudo-leader of your team. Now then Team 1...Team 7 is Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Kurama Yokishino and Haruno Sakura. Team 18will be Hinata, Kiba and Shino and Team 10 is Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji and Yamanka Ino and."
With that, the Jounin entered. Team 10's Jounin handler was a man that looked like the Sandaime, Hiruzen. His name was Sarutobi Asuma and he was next in line to be clan head of the Sarutobi. Team 8's was a new female jounin. Her name was Yuuhi Kurenai. She had black hair that went down to her back and red eyes. Most of the guys, especially Kiba was staring at her, not that she really minded because she wasn't paying attention to them.
Finally, Team 7's sensei, a silver haired, one-eyed Jounin by the name of Hatake Kakashi entered, along with a silver haired chunin named Mizuki. Hatake appeared to be reading something, although he was doing so lazily. When Iruka saw the title, he threw a kunai at the book.
Kakashi, not paying attention didn't notice the kunai until it went through the book. At that, Kakashi dropped the book and quickly went through the handsigns for his signature technique, the Chidori and dropped his hand to the ground. He looked around, snarling and foaming from his mask.
"Who destroyed my precious?" Kakashi asked.
Iruka calmly raised his hand and Kakashi was about to run at him, when they all felt a chakra spike nearby. This got Kakashi and Iruka worried because they recognized the signature.
"Naruto?" Iruka asked. "What could he be spiking his chakra for?"
"Doesn't matter Iruka," Kakashi said. "It's not just his chakra. There are other signatures mixed in with his."
Kakashi turned to the class, all seriousness gone. "All right students, you're ordered to stay here. Asuma, come with us, Kurenai watch them."
"Where are you going Mr. Hatake?" a pink haired girl, Haruno Sakura asked.
"One of your classmates, Uzumaki Naruto is in trouble. We're going to help him," Asuma stated as he threw his cigarette down and crushed it into the wood.
"What'd the dobe do this time?" Sasuke said as he interlaced his fingers in front of his face. "Some stupid prank or did he anger another adult and he's just spiking his chakra because he pissed his pants.
Iruka growled as he walked over to his desk and pulled a tanto from under it. He calmly walked over to Sasuke, and in strength he has never displayed before, grabbed Sasuke by the throat. Iruka then proceeded to slam Sasuke into a wall, choking him. Iruka's hair overshadowed his eyes and he calmly looked up at Sasuke, his eyes looking the same as Sasuke's eldest brother did on that day.
"You listen to me and you listen well Uchiha," Iruka said. "You will not talk about my otouto like that again." Iruka placed the tanto at the boys neck and slowly dragged it down, drawing blood from the boy. "Or else I will kill you."
Iruka dropped the boy and sheathed the tanto on a sheath hidden inside his vest. "Ikuze," he said as he raced out of the door.
-Alley (Ten or so minutes ago)-
Naruto was in pain. He was in immense pain. He didn't know what he did, but it apparently is was bad enough to warrant him being beaten by the villagers. It was like this all the time, except it was always worse on his birthday, when they could catch him at least.
But it seems today was much worse than the usual beatings. It seemed like they were trying to take all of their anger out on him in one go. It didn't sit well with him, but there wasn't much he could do about it with him being tied to a cross.
He winced as a beer bottle struck his head and shattered, spraying his face with broken glass. He screamed as another man stabbed him in the stomach with a pitch fork and savagely ripped it to one side, almost taking his guts out. Slowly, oh so slowly, he began to lose consciousness from the pain. He welcomed it because he knew his world was over. He knew his end was near.
-Naruto's Mind-
Naruto awoke in a sewer filled with water. He sat up and looked around confused. He wondered where he was because he honestly thought he was dead.
"Okay," he muttered as he stood up. "Where the hell am I? I know this isn't hell so where the heck am I?"
"Follow my voice boy," something said.
Naruto could feel the wind of the voice reverbrate through the tunnels. He was confused because he didn't remember where he knew that word from. He shrugged and slowly walked down the tunnel. The voice gave him directions, which he was grateful for and came to a large cage. He was almost startled as a giant orange paw came from behind the bars and almost crushed him. What surprised the being it belonged to was that Naruto didn't flinch.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked as he took a seat. "Second of all, where are we?"
"You amuse me boy," the being said. "You are not worthy to know my name, but I will tell you we are in your mind."
Naruto nodded. "I would wager to guess that it's so damp because of the way I've been treated."
The being nodded. He slowly came into the light and Naruto's mouth dropped as he could see the thing was a giant fox. A giant fox with nine tails.
"K-kyu-kyuubi," Naruto stammered.
"Yes," the demon lord said as he laid his head on his forearms.
"But I thought you said I wasn't worthy to know you're name?"
"You're not and you do not know my name. You know my title child. But for now, we have other guests that wish to see you. Turn around boy and greet them."
Naruto turned and gasped at what he saw. Standing before him was Uchiha Madara, the Nidaime Hokage, Senju Tobirama and some dude wearing a floppy hat and orange shades. Naruto wanted to steal the shades.
"What are you staring at young one?" the Hokage asked.
Naruto bowed. "Ni-nidaime-sama, I was just staring at this mans sunglasses."
The shade wearing man smirked as he held out a hand and Madara placed some ryo in it and his impassive face turned to a frown. Naruto was confused and had a sweat drop.
"Stand up son," the Hokage said.
Naruto sat up quickly? "S-son?"
The Nidaime shook his head. "No, I didn't mean son that you are my son. I meant son as in boy. But I guess you are my son in a way."
"How?"
It was this time that Madara chose to speak up. "Do you not know of your heritage boy?" he asked as he kneeled down on the balls of his feet.
Naruto shook his head.
"What as Sarutobi been teaching you?" Tobirama asked.
"What are you talking about! Leave the old man out of this!" Naruto yelled as he pointed at the Second.
"He has fire in him" the Shaded man said. "I like him!"
"Sorry," Naruto muttered. "I just don't like people direspecting my grandfather."
At this, Tobirama and Madara smiled.
"But what have people been saying of your real grandfathers Naruto?" Madara asked.
"Whaddya mean?" he asked, slightly soft, well what counted as soft for him.
"I will explain a bit of your history to you. Do you know your mother and father? Do you know their names and how famous they were?"
Naruto shook his head.
"Damn!" Tobirama said. "Has Sarutobi told you nothing of where you come from?"
Naruto shook his head again. "No Nidaime-sama, he hasn't. He only told me I was the son of two heroes."
Tobirama faced palmed. "I'm going to kill that baka when I get out of here. Look Naruto, stop calling me Nidaime-sama okay? Call me grandpa instead."
For the second time in his life, Naruto was speechless.
"The same goes for me Naruto." Madara said. "I am your grandfather on your mother's side."
"Can you tell me what they were like?"
Kyuubi cut in. "Your mother's name was Uzumaki Kushina. She was my second jailer. Your father was that bastard Yondaime, the man who sealed my into you."
Naruto sat there and thought for a bit and then asked a different question. "Okay then. What the hell are you all doing here?"
The shade's man started laughing and in the end, fell on the floor from laughing so hard.
"My god this boy is funny! I'm so glad I chose him as my heir!" he said.
"Heir? Heir of what?" Naruto asked as he looked at the man. "Besides, what is your name?"
"If you become my heir, then I will tell you. But I warn you, my power is great and if you use it for your own amusement I will destroy your mind. Use the power we may give you to protect if you accept do you understand?" he asked.
Naruto nodded. "I understand now can you answer my question?"
Madara nodded. "By now Naruto, you've figured out that you are a jinchuuriki, a sacrifice for the village's lust for power. The way Konoha is now, is not what your grandfather and I fought and died for. We want you to become our heir: Mine, Tobirama's and Shade's over here. But you must hurry and answer because you will die soon with what the villagers are doing to your body."
Naruto began to think.
-Alleyway-
The villagers were having a hayday. They were enjoying mutilating this boys body for their enjoyment. They were so busy kicking and beating the boy's malnourished frame that they didn't see his hair slowly turn a silvery black. They didn't see him start to get taller or his tattered clothes rebuild themselves and change. They didn't see him open his eyes. They never saw the ripple pattern in them and the fact that they seemed to be endless pools of darkness.
Naruto stood quickly, unleashing a chakra shockwave that was felt all around the village. The once blonde haired boy took note of his injuries, noticing that all of them seemed to disappear after steam rose off of his body. Naruto looked down and noted that he was taller, around 5' 9" or so, possibly the tallest in his class. He looked at his orange tracksuit and wrinkled his nose in disgust. Using one of his newly learned abilities, he quickly changed his clothes from the orange into the armor his Uchiha grandfather used to wear and smirked at it. Underneath it, he wore a black sweatsuit as his grandfather once did.
Naruto noticed his hair getting long enough to cover his right eye slightly and he shook as head because keeping his eyes fully open seemed to cause him some discomfort. He eased them closed slightly and noted that it felt much better. He made a ninjato appear on his back, along with a blue gunbai with a kusarigama on the end. In a square around the fan, there was the Uchiha fan, the Senju crest, the Namikaze/Uzumaki flower and the Hellsing shield. In the center was the kanji for nine.
He grabbed the gunbai and stuck it to his back using chakra and made a ninjato from purely from chakra and thought and stuck that to his back as well. He slowly walked out of the alley, looking at the mob as they backed away from him. He looked and noticed that all of the ANBU that used to take care of him where there and noted that only Neko still seemed to be apart of the organization. Naruto turned to look at the mob as they circled him. His old friends appeared ready to jump in, but Naruto held his hand, stopping them.
The Hokage jumped in the circle with ANBU around him.
"What is going on here," he questioned, his voice hiding his rage. "And who are you young man?"
"I'm hurt you don't recognize me Sarutobi," Naruto said as he pointed to his cheek. "Do you not notice the whisker marks?"
Hiruzen gasped. "N-naruto! Bu-but how do you look so different?"
Naruto turned back to the mob. "That will be explained later. First, I would like to know why you all attacked me."
"We were getting revenge for you killing our families demon!" a pig masked ANBU said.
Hiruzen was prepared to arrest them, but Naruto held up his hand.
"Were you now?" Naruto said darkly. "ANBU, you do realize that the mentioning of such a thing will bring you nothing but death correct?"
Play My Name: Naruto OST
A civilian, who was an ex-Chunin, got brave at this point and ran at Naruto, kunai in hand. Naruto ducked under the strike, and grabbed his wrist as he turned. As the man dropped the kunai, Naruto caught it and slashed the man across the throat. Everyone gasped at the skill the boy showed and the mob slowly grew angrier.
"Come on!" the ANBU said. "He's a weakened demon! We can take him!"
With that, the mob raced at Naruto. Naruto's supporters prepared to intervene, but they were stopped dead in their tracks when gravity pressed down on them. What surprised them was that it didn't seem to affect Naruto or the mob.
One ANBU jumped above Naruto and tried coming down at him with an overhead slash. Naruto just smirked and caught the man and spun, throwing him into three men and taking his tanto. Naruto flipped it in his hand once before slashing a jounin across the throat, jumping over a chunin and with some elemental manipulation, pulled the air from his lungs and caused him to choke to death. Naruto converted the air into a Daitoppa and clapped his hands, sending some of the mob crashing into a wall.
Naruto stabbed the tanto into the ground and engaged the three remaining shinobi in a taijutsu battle. Everyone was worried that Naruto would be overwhelmed and called out to him. Naruto just smirked as he ducked under a punch and placed his hand on the ground. He used it to brace himself as he kicked a chunin in the head, sending him to the ground. Naruto spun on his hand, and landed on his feet in a crouch before he jumped up, giving a Tokujo a vicious jaw breaking uppercut.
With only one jounin left, the civilians of the mob raced in. Everyone thought that Naruto would show some time of mercy to them, but he didn't. He beat them the same way he had the shinobi, brutally efficient and quickly. He only stayed away from the woman, making shots that wouldn't damage much, only incapacitate them.
By this time, all of the students in Naruto's class, out of curiousity had ran outside to see what was going on and they were shocked at the skill the apparent dobe had. This silently caused Sasuke to fume. He would find out the boy's secret and take his power for his own. Sure this will be enough to kill Itachi, he thought. He was right in a way, but that didn't mean he'd get the power.
Naruto smirked as he looked at the jounin cowering on the ground in front of him. He walked slowly to him and the jounin bravely stood his ground, though it was foolish to do so.
"D-do yo-our wor-worst de-d-emon," the jounin stammered.
Naruto raised a blackened eyebrow at the comment and smirked.
"Demon am I?" Naruto asked.
Everyone was wanting to know what would happen and Naruto smiled as he looked at the man. He noted more ANBU had arrived, some with blank masks. He growled as those with blank mask and two regular ANBU jumped down from the roofs, their killing intent directed at him. He leaned back slightly from one slash mark and growled as another cut his leg. He backflipped and made sure all the ANBU were in front of him. He noticed how one appeared to be making a half ram seal and growled when he recognized him as a Nara.
The other ANBU quickly closed in on him and Naruto sent off a burst of chakra, sending them back a bit and slowly sent chakra to his limbs to break the hold the Kagemane had on him. Naruto slowly walked forward and noticed the Nara having difficulty keeping the jutsu together until his concentration broke. Naruto kicked the Nara in the face, breaking his mask. Naruto drew his ninjato and slashed at an ANBU that was behind him, cutting a line from his right shoulder to his left hip. Naruto spun and threw the ninjato at a third ANBU and added a little wind chakra to it sent it through another two.
Naruto turned and grabbed a ROOT ninja by the neck as he kneeled and started drawing on a pad and snapped his neck before throwing the corpse with an exploding tag attached to at the remaining three. He quickly added some chakra to it and it exploded, killing the last three.
End My Name
Everyone that was present had their jaws on the ground. Some, like Ebisu wiped off their glasses furiously and then put them back on their face to make sure what they were seeing was true. When they found out what that it was, they all gasped and fainted from shock. Naruto stood their, his arms crossed and then began walking towards the academy.
Sasuke put a hand on Naruto's shoulder and whipped him around.
"How did you get so strong dobe?" he asked.
Naruto looked on impassively, his blue eyes holding a bored look. He looked at the Uchiha's hand and then back at him, an eyebrow raised as if to ask why is your hand on me pawn.
"Let go of me," Naruto said, no emotion in his voice at all.
Sakura walked up to him and wacked him upside the head.
"Answer him baka!" she said. "Sasuke-kun deserves to know."
Naruto closed his eyes and when he opened them, everyone was shocked at what they saw.
"I-is that the Rinnegan?" Hiruzen asked.
Naruto chuckled as he black and rippled eyes bore into that of the Uchiha's.
"I want those eyes dobe!" Sasuke said as he reached for Naruto's face.
"Shinra Tensei," Naruto muttered.
Sasuke and Sakura flew away from him and crashed into buildings. Naruto began walking away, his clothes changing to a somewhat miltiary style clothing. It appeared to be all black and gray, complete with black and gray ANBU pants, a black long-sleeved shirt tucked into the pants and holsters on his legs for kunai and shuriken. His shinobi sandles changed to military style boots and a black trench coat appeared on his back and began flapping in the wind as he walked off.
"Naruto!" Hiruzen called.
Naruto slightly turned his head and Hiruzen gasped when he saw that he was staring at Naruto with the Kyuubi's eyes.
"You dare talk to me Sarutobi Hiruzen?" Naruto snarled. "You dare do such a thing after you've lied to me the last twelve years. Just because I was a child doesn't mean keep me from knowing my parents names. My father, the Yondaime and even his father, the Nidaime are rolling in their damn graves right now. They want me to destroy Konoha for how arrogant it has gotten."
Hiruzen gulped. "My boy, don't listen to them please. Konoha can be saved."
Nodded as his eyes slowly bleeded into the Rinnegan. "I know. But I want Konoha to know that the only reason they live is because of Hatake Kakashi, Uzuki Yugao, Sarutobi Asuma, Umino Iruka and who you civilians have deemed the snake whore, Mitarashi Anko. They and a father-daughter duo of civilians that run Ichiraku Ramen are the only reason you live. And nothing had best happen to them because if anything does,"
Naruto raised his hand and pointed at a store that always refused him service. He opened his eyes wide as he flooded them with chakra and sent chakra to his hand in waves.
"SHINRA TENSEI!" he yelled, reducing the building to rubble.
The wind picked up and Naruto looked at them, his Rinnegan slowly changing to a three tomoed Sharigan that started spinning. Naruto disappeared in a very unique shunshin. A swarm of ravens appeared from the sky and started flying in a vortext around him that slowly went into the clouds. Just inside the swarm, a pillar of water swirled around Naruto almost like he was standing in the center of a whirlpool. Around Naruto, was a pillar of black fire that a section of burned earth, that was heated high enough to turn to glass. As Naruto disappeared, three ravens feathers fell from the sky
and the ends of the feathers pointed at each other, almost like a Sharigan and it spun twice before disappearing. An after image of Naruto's sharigan stayed before it too disappeared, and it creeped out everyone.
All of Naruto's protectors, well former protectors, looked at the Hokage. He knew they wanted an explain.
"There will be a council meeting tomorrow at noon," Hiruzen stated, his age catching up to him. "You are all ordered to come. And one of you find Naruto and inform him that he is required to come."
Asuma walked up to his dad and looked him dead in the eye. "Old man, you totally lost my respect. And I got two words for you that will sum up your situation perfectly fine."
Hiruzen raised an eyebrow at his youngest son. "And they are what exactly?"
Asuma took out a cigarette before looking at it and throwing it away, along with the packs he had in his pocket. He looked back at his father and sighed. "You're fucked."
Asuma disappeared and Hiruzen sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
"You got that right," he muttered as he too, disappeared in a leaf shunshin.
Chapter End
So, what do you guys think of this rewrite's beginning? Good, bad, worse than the original? Better? I'd also like to point out as stated in the summary that the title has changed to Denryoku no Souzokujin which means the Heir of Power. It's called that now because he is the heir of powerful people and this will mainly focus on how Naruto now deals with the new abilities he has and what he is to do with them. Also, there will be people in the council trying to get in his good graces, but it won't work because of the Rinnegan's Byakugan like abilities, Naruto can tell if they mean it or not. Anyways, review and tell me what you think. Ja ne.
