Chapter One
"BUT GRANNY I SWEAR TO YOU, I DIDN'T DO THIS! IT'S BULLSHIT!" Naruto yelled. "Naruto, I'm left with no other choice, I'm sorry." Said Tsunade holding a stern face "But as Hokage I have to do what is best for the village." She said closing her eyes eliciting him to have another outburst. Naruto stood there not moving an inch before speaking in a cold dead tone that send shivers up the spines of all those present. "So you are taking their side huh," he said much to their confusion before taking a kunai out of his pouch and slashing through the leaf symbol before letting it fall from his fingertips. *Thunk* Hazel Eyes snapped open "Naruto what-" She never fished her sentence as blood red charka began to leak from his body. "Never speak to me again oh great Tsunade-sama." He spat the last part like venom.
"I'm just a lowly slave, good for only doing this villages dirty work. Well guess what, I won't lift a finger to help this shit hole anymore fuck you all to the seventh level of hel-." An Anbu having enough stepped forward, chopping the back of his neck "Hokage-sama?" He asked. Holding the blonde down by knife point.
"Stop it, just take him away." She said unable to take her eyes off his prone from 'Kami-sama what did I do? His eyes were so cold.' She thought watching the Anbu slap chakra suppression seals onto his body.
"Lady Tsunade?" Asked Sakura picking up her teammate's head band "What was that all about? Do you think he will be okay once this mission is over?" Asked the pink haired medic. "Sakura I don't think he will be coming back" said Kakashi seeing the blonde's eyes were enough of a giveaway. Sakura spins on her heels to face her sensei "Kakashi-sensei what makes you say that I mean its Naruto, our knuckleheaded ninja why wouldn't he come back?"
"Because Sakura right now he thinks we betrayed him." Said Tsunade setting down and cupping her hands over her face to hide the tears "Leave now!" She barked. Before Sakura could speak the copycat ninja gripped her shoulder and gave the hokage a nod before body flickering away. Once alone Tsunade Senju cried " My god what have I done." She muttered watching the blonde be thrown into a wooden cell. "Minato…Kushina I'm sorry" She said softly. Shizune lays her hand on her master's shoulder "Everything will be alright I mean its Naruto." She tried to reassure her while Tsunade shakes her head "His eyes, they were dead he didn't have the spark he had before, he thinks we betrayed him. He thinks I betrayed him." She said before her eyes widen in horror.
(With Naruto)
Snapping his eyes open only to have rotten fruit and trash flung at him raising his arms to shield his face " What happe-" his word died in his throat remembering being accused of killing and his punishment 'I won't let this hell hole see me cry.' He thought holding back the tears as his friends watch and even throw trash at him.
"Take that, you deserve this for hurting Sasuke-kun. You're just a demon just like mom and dad said." Yelled Ino. "Troublesome as it is Naruto your being framed I'll see what I can do to help I won't let this get away." Said Shikamaru.
"Its fine, I'm not planning on coming back. I'LL SEE YOU ALL BURN IN HELL!" He yelled the last part before being carried out of the gates. Within her cage Kurama watched shaking in anger 'How could they do this?!' She fumed 'He was so close to mastering my power and this is the thanks he gets!' She hissed mentally. Naruto closed his eyes not allowing the guards to see the new changes his eyes took on. Blessings and burning pain racked his body, the Anbu guards never saw the blue change to red with three tomoe marks spinning madly.
(With Azula)
A girl of sixteen walked the outskirts of the local village they docked at to fix her fleet. She had black shoulder length hair and wore a red set of armor that had the fire nation symbol etched into it in golden leaves. 'To think we had to stop here.' She mused to herself before a ruckus behind her caught her attention.
Mai walked beside her friend "Hey," She said before kicking the dust with her boot. "Any word yet?" Azula asked watching her friend shrug her shoulders. "No, the captain seems to think two days-." She was cut off as a loud piercing scream echoed through the forest
"GGGGGGGGWWWWWWWWAAAAAHHHHH"
Azula stood to her feet "let's go and check it out" she said standing up followed by Mai. "Right" said Mai following Azula into the forest and through the trees. After a short run the two girls burst into a clearing to see a sight that made Mai gag
Azula sneers "Just what the hell do you thank your doing!?" She shouted forming a fireball in her hands. In front of the two girls stood two Masked ninja wearing cloaks, underneath them laid a boy around her age with a his leg bone showing through his flesh. The masked ninja sneered back " Go away little girl this demon deserves this."
"Yeah get lost so we can finish what the fourth started." His companion spoke boldly only to gasp as a *Thunk* echoed out as Mai threw one of her knives into the man's chest. "Hawk!" Shouted the boar masked ninja only to jump back to narrowly avoid a fireball.
"Get lost!" Yelled Azula throwing her fire balls at him "Now!" She snapped losing her temper. The Anbu growled 'I can't take them both, maybe they will kill the demon. Oh well, not my problem anymore.' He thought making his decision before body flickering away.
Azula's golden eyes never left the direction the masked man went "Mai check on him I don't trust those ninja" she growled, a fireball forming in her hand. Mai nods and moves to check be downed boy 'My god what did they do to him?' she thought seeing all the stab wounds and the exposed bone sticking out from his knee. As if sensing his new attacker he starts thrashing around opening up the wounds "calm down we're not going to hurt you" she hissed trying to stop the bleeding.
"W...Why?" He asked his voice raspy, his eyes opening only enough to see the world in black and grey and the outlines of people. "My eyes" He muttered reaching a shaky hand to them. Azula had wondered over next to them grabbing his hand, kneeling beside Mai "listen we saved you, so stop struggling were trying to sto-" Her words died in her throat seeing his eyes glowing red with three black tomoe marks spinning widely. "Beautiful" she muttered to herself gasping when they changed into a fuma shuriken pinwheel "The Mangekyou Sharingan" she said as it dawned on her.
"Excuse me we need to stop the bleeding you can ask about his eyes later!" Snapped Mai, pulling out a medical kit and medical cream her father gave her. Two fire benders appeared behind the Fire Nation princess "My lady, what is going on here and who is that boy?" Asked one of the guards, a captain by the look on his uniform.
"Captain shut up unless you want me to fry you alive" she hissed glaring at the cowering soldiers. "We may have very well stumbled upon the black flame bender" she said turning her head to exam the boy and look for the mark. Mai moved to fix the wounds on his arms only to gasp "Azula" she called gaining the princess' attention "look at his arm it has the mark" said Mai.
Azula's golden eyes widen seeing the black flame tatto appearing to be burning into his skin taking the shape of a tribal design "Great spirits have blessed the Fire Nation." She said before snapping her orders out. 'Father will be pleased with me' she thought to herself 'Zuko Uncle your days of chasing the Avatar our over' "Hahhahah" She laughed
Naruto groans felling nothing but pain racking his body "Gwahhaha..!" He shouted holding his eyes while a sickening red chakra seeped from his body "Come here child it's time you learned the truth" said a voice within his mind. Mai's eyes widen "Azula watch out!" She shouted reaching for her friend. Azula was rooted in her spot watching with horror and fear her friends words did not reach her ears when a red tendril of chakra wrapped around her body. 'Why am I not felling any pain?' She thought. Before a voice made its presence know.
"That my child is because I will my chakra not to hurt you." Boomed a massive voice.
Azula looks around widely behind fire into her hands "Where are you? Why am I here? Who is HE? ANSWER ME!" She shouted back "Mwahhha." The evil voice boomed "I'm a demon lord, I bow to no human." He added before a mirror showed a fox with nine tails "You will help the boy, his mind is shattered much like yours I can only do so much."
"Why should I." She snarled flames wrapping around her body "I don't owe him anything." She roared.
The fox smashing his paw against the gates sending a shock wave throwing the fire princess against the wall. "I SAID SILENCE! YOU KNOW NOTHING OF PAIN LIKE HIM..!" Roared the mighty fox
"So what do you want me to do then?" She scoffed struggling to stand again
"Look at him." Said the fox showing his maw full of his sharp teeth "Help him…he will help you win the war if you help him." He added his eyes glowing into the darkness
Azula eyes wander from the fox to Naruto seeing him lying in the center of the room between the cage and her forcing herself up and hobbling over toward the boy "Hey it's alright no one's going to hurt you." She said softly seeing his face contort into pain before his body thrashed around.
"No, I won't go back ever." He muttered a hand raising to shield his phantom pains
"You're safe, no one will hurt you I promise on my honor." She said again this time more firmly pulling the body against hers, her arms wrapping around him.
"No.!" He yelled wiggling out of her grasp as a ring of black flames wrap around him
'The flames are responding to his pain.' She observes before glaring at the fox "How do I wake him up?" She shouted
Meanwhile with Mai
"Stay your ground." She barked at the soldiers raising a knife from her coat " We don't know what will happen if we attack him." She hissed.
"But the fire lord my lady!" Pleaded one of the solder's knowing it was common knowledge that he favored Azula more than Zuko.
"Enough get me a healer and a stretcher now!" Roared Azula as the red Chakra flared once more before fading away her golden eyes looked at her friend "Mai come help me." Grunted Azula.
Mai rushes to her friend "What happened and how did you calm him down?" She asked wanting to know.
Azula waves her off "I'll explain later we need to get back to the ships and sail out to sea now before any more trouble arrives." She hissed clutching the boys arm close.
Mai couldn't believe her eyes "We're taking him with us?" She asked in disbelief. Grabbing the boys other arm
"Yes is that a problem?" Growled Azula 'after seeing that the choice I have very little doubt father would mind at all.' She thought back to the deal she had made
Mai nod's her head "Alright let's go." She said as they both walked toward the fire nation soldiers carrying a make shift stretcher.
Meanwhile in the leaf village
"WHAT!" Roared Tsunade standing up glaring at the Anbu who reported back.
"Hokage-sama I'm sorry, we were carrying out your" *WHAM* her fist connected with his mask sending him back into the wall, leaving a dent.
"I don't care, you left him there." She snarled at him." Get out of my sight." She hissed. The Anbu nodded before shunshining away, leaving a fuming Hokage.
"Shizune get in here!" She shouted watching as said woman stumbled into the office carrying a large stack of paper work.
"Yes my lady." She said walking and putting the papers on the desk noticing the dent "My lady what happened to the wall, " She asked staring at the human shaped crater "Did Jiraiya-Sama drop by again?" She asked.
Tsunade sighs setting down in her seat and folding her hands under her chin "Naruto is gone the Anbu were treating him poorly and from the survivor report says they were attacked by fire nation soldiers, the princess no less." She said causing her student to gasp a hand covering her mouth.
"Lady Tsunade are you sure? They haven't made contact with the elemental nations for years" Gasped Shizune in shock.
Tsunade nod's her head tapping her fingers on her desk "This is not good, we must inform the council immediately."
"I'll summon them." Answered Shizune "Do you think we can reclaim Naruto-kun?" she asked
Tsunade shakes her head sadly "No, we don't know where the fire nation is and they never gave us any ideas. It's pointless he's lost to us." She said sadly "But we will see him again I just hope he doesn't come to take revenge."
"But, my lady this is Naruto-kun we're talking about is he really capable of such hatred?" Asked Shizune
Tsunade waves her hand" I do not know Shizune. I do know we will have a hell of a fight should he come back with hatred against us." She added 'And every bit of it is well deserved.' She thought sadly walking out of her office and toward the council chambers.
A few moments later
"Lady Tsunade, why have you called us here?" Asked Shikaku Nara, current head of the Nara clan.
"Settle down!" Yelled the busty Kage "I've received troubling news, our Anbu came into contact with fire nation troops." She said watching the room go silent. "The only Anbu we sent out was the two escorting Naruto to prison." It wasn't a question more like a statement from Shikaku.
'Damn Nara's always so quick to put things into place.' Mused Tsunade before nodding her head "Yes, evidently the Anbu were attacking Naruto since he couldn't fight back and drew the attention of the fire lord's daughter, Princess Azula and an unknown woman who came to the gaki's aid." She said.
Danzo stood to his feet "This is unacceptable! We must reclaim our weapon now!" He shouted 'no other nation can learn we lost the kyuubi.' He thought.
Inoichi, Ino's father stood "Hokage-Sama we must go after him." He paused inwardly fighting a battle "We can't let their son leave the village." He added his blue eyes locking with hers.
"I understand what you mean but our hands are tied. By now they've already left this country and if the fire lord favors her the way rumor says then we have a war ahead of us."
"Impossible. We can't lose to them, you can't be serious." Hissed Hiashi Hyuuga.
Flickering her eyes to land on pearl white ones "Yes, lord Hyuuga I'm serious. The one we all scorned is the legacy of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze and his mother is Kushina Uzumaki." She said 'may as well get this out of the way now to.' She thought to herself watching as the room exploded into shouting match of what to do.
Finally, having enough she channels chakra into her foot before slamming it down cracking it and shutting up those who were shouting. "Enough!" She bellowed "We have to make a choice one that could alter our nation's history or doom us to damnation." She said her voice cold as steel.
Meanwhile in the ocean nearing the fire nation
"Ugh where am I?" Muttered the blonde. Sitting up from the soft bed, he opened his eyes to look around the metal room, only to see a red flag with a flame symbol on it above his head. "Fire?" He asked not expecting an answer.
"You're on my ship." Came Azula's voice "Care to tell me why they had you bound and about your injuries!" She asked golden eyes observing him
Naruto tilts his head to look at her." And why should I trust you!" He said before opening his eye's "When you carry their flag!" He hissed looking at the red flag with a black flame symbol
Azula follows his gaze "Ah you mean my nation's flag." She asked standing up" We're currently at sea and closing in toward home." She said before tapping her chin 'I wonder if the fox was lying.' She thought decided she turns "Forgive me I must make sure." She said
"Make sur.-" dodging a blue fireball skidding out of bed *BOOOM*
"You have good reflexes." She commented off handily "Now fight back." She ordered a smirk coming to her face.
"Why?" Asked Naruto scowling "Did you save me to use as a weapon for another country?" He hissed his thrusting his hand forward as black flames come to life on his arms
'It is true.' Thought the fire princess dodging his attacks before holding her hands up "Alright enough." She said her eye's watching as his arms fell to his side's the fire still engulfing his arms 'He shouldn't have been able to move like that.' She thought
'She's a soldier her eyes are watching for any sudden movement.' He thought before looking down "Huh. It doesn't burn like I thought it would." He mumbled checking his body for any injury's "You seem pretty relaxed for someone who just attacked you." He heard her say, smirking he shrugs "I've been betrayed by my own people scorned since the day I was born. If you wanted to kill me you would have done so when I was knocked out." He said finally looking back at her "Why am I here?" He asked crossing his arms
Azula snorts 'this peasant dares speak to me like that, the nerve.' She thought angrily "I'm princess Azula of the Fire Nation. I'm taking you to see my father, the fire lord." She answered setting down and crossing her legs.
Nodding his head he seats down on the bed noticing his blood torn cloths "They did a number on me this time." He snorted getting a raised eyebrow from the Princess
"What do you mean this time?" She inquired "has this happened before?" She pressed only to see his mood darken and his eyes flash a deeper Crimson 'Scary.'
"Yes." He answers simply before closing his eyes 'Maybe this is a dream.' He thought before deciding to get some answers. "Why are you going to sleep its midday?" She asked watching him
'Maybe not.' He mentally sighed rubbing his nose "Ask what you want and be quick about it I have some things to do." He spoke upset at being annoyed.
"What's your name and why were you in those chains? I've seen those before, they stop you from bending." She asked watching as his eyes slowly open thou she would never admit it, she liked the color of his eyes.
"My name is Naruto, as for why I was in chains my village betrayed me and let me shipped off for something I did not do." He answered before closing his eyes.
"What did you do?" She asked generally wanting to know 'can't be that bad, a murder perhaps?' She thought.
"I was framed for murder of a few shinobi I've never meet." He paused clearly fighting back something
"And what you can tell me I won't speak a word to anyone else about it." Said Azula now that he had her full attention.
"Well to understand you must listen to the beginning okay?" He asked getting a nod he inhales "Our village was invaded I played a major factor in saving in I got nothing but ignored and when I was matched up in the chuunin exams.-" he was interrupted by Azula.
"What are these chuunin exams?" She asked remembering her uncle speak of it when she was a kid
"Don't interrupt me." snapped Naruto "the chuunin exam is a substitute for war between the leaf stone cloud and sand village's." He answered her question "Now where was I oh yea. The sand invaded with the sound village, Gaara went into his transformation stage and I fought him and by sheer luck won changing his views on people but I failed were it mattered most old man hokage died in the invasion he was the closet person I had to family he raised me." He snorts at the memory "But after the funeral I was sent with Pervy Sage to find the next hokage, being Tsunade Senju a distant cousin and a mother figure for me after a small fight we brought her back she's the reason I'm here she wouldn't believe me when I told her I didn't do it." He snorted again
"So you're in exile?" She asked after listing to his rant ' Would mean he was going to be shipped to a prison lucky we docked there.' She thought.
"No worse I'm a soldier with no home no family nothing to fight for but myself." He said 'that sounds like Gaara used to be.' He thought shuddering at the thought of being insane
Hearing those words Azula frowns "Is that all, where was your mother or father?" She asked watching him flinch at those words
"I'm an orphan my parents died the night I was born nobody told me there names or anything about them, I only wanted to know I was loved not hated. Do you know how that feels?" He asked. Opening his eyes
"..." Azula said nothing shocked by his speech 'the fox spirit wasn't lying he's like me!' She thought shocked.
"It's okay, I don't want pity I want to avenge myself." He said after a moment of silence
"Don't worry, I know how you feel. I only have my father, I don't experience the love of my mother. My father taught me everything I know and you have a home as long as you like with the Fire Nation." She said standing up and walking toward the door "I'll have a servant bring food and tea for you." She said before leaving the room.
Watching the door close "Okay now to get some answers." He said before entering a meditation to go into his mindscape.
(With Azula)
Walking around the corner "You can come out Mai." She said. Mai steps out from her room "How did it go?" She asked spinning a knife "Do we kill him?" She asked. Azula shakes her head "No we will not harm him, he is the black flame bender, and he will help us win the war." She replied walking toward the command deck Mai behind her. "What happened earlier you said you would explain" She asked walking beside Azula. "I meet a fox spirit that is sealed inside him. We made a deal we both will benefit from after he comes to terms." She answered smirking. 'Oh yes a great deal.' She thought.
/ FLASH BACK/
"I want you to mend his heart. I've seen the curse of hatred before, it will spread and destroy everything. When he reaches that point Azula-san, you will decided the fate of the world. It was once said a boy would come who would reshape the world or plunge it into damnation." Said the fox.
"WHY ME?!" Shouted Azula "I have no love to give anyone, they're all afraid of me!" She roared clenching her fists.
The fox's red slits narrowed in annoyance "I don't care child, you hold that choice no one else. Besides, that brat wouldn't be afraid of you." She said her voice softer then before "Once again he had a spark of life in his eyes when he came to." She added.
"You're a woman!" Shouted Azula pointing a finger at the fox's nod " But why, me?" She asked again.
"Yes, is that a problem?" She asked glaring at the princess "I've seen his life he knows nothing of love and affection he never had a girlfriend or a date." She said before grinning "Until now. You will set up an arranged marriage with your father and I'll help you."
"You're trying to play Cupid?" She yelled only to gulp when the smile widening
"Of course, if you don't like that I could devour you and let you think it over inside my stomach for a few months?" Offers the fox opening her jaws her tongue licking the teeth "Been awhile since I eat anything or anyone." She said 'Foolish girl.'
"I agree." Mutters Azula "At least he will be a strong husband." She said a small smile came to her face.
Kurama smirks 'Looks like it wasn't that hard.' She thought "Alright, all you need to do to break him out of this cycle is to shock his body." She said only to see Azula smile turn into a smirk as lightning built up around her fingers
/ FLASH BACK END/
"And that's how I woke him up." She said glancing at her best friend "Any other questions?" Asked Azula. Mai shakes her head "None. It's hard to believe we found him." She commented a small smile across her face "I never knew you took an interest in him shame Ty Lee will be sad when she sees he's taken." She said smirking as Azula's hands twitch slightly.
"She will live." Spoke Azula keeping her voice calm "He will be arranged into a marriage with me when I turn sixteen." She said.
"Will your father approve of this? I mean your only fourteen now and we are still at war." Asked Mai.
"Yes he will approve you know how he always watches me so he will accept. We will keep the black flame bender in the Royal family." She answered turning to look out the window to see the volcano's that made up most of the Fire Nation "We're almost home." She said getting a nod from Mai.
