Prologue: End and Beginning
The sun was setting in the Village Hidden in the Leaves, one of the five great shinobi villages in the Elemental Nations. It was founded by Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, two of the strongest shinobis during the Warring State. The village known for its sea of trees surrounding the village, their Sannin's, the various clans living within its walls, their teamwork on their shinobi forces and being victorious in three Shinobi World Wars. And on its cliff were the four faces of the Hokage's. Hashirama Senju the first Hokage, Tobirama Senju the second Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen the third Hokage and finally Minato Namikaze the current along with fourth Hokage.
However seven years ago the Kyuubi-no-Kitsune attacked the village. Causing major collateral damage and killing many shinobies and civilians. Unknown too many its second warden, Kushina Uzumaki was kidnapped after birthing her twin children Naruto and Natsumi. Said assailant forcefully extracted the beast from her, it was due to her Uzumaki genes that she barely survived. But thankfully the Yondaime, Minato Namikaze her husband was able to take the beast away from the village. And was planning on sealing the beast into his new born daughter and wife by sacrificing his life. However it was the Sandaime, Hiruzen Sarutobi who did the sealing on putting the beast into the baby girl and former container.
Now we find a young seven year old boy with spiky sunkissed blond hair and blue eyes sitting at the edge of the Hokage Monument. He wore a black sleeveless shirt underneath a gray jacket with a red Uzumaki swirl in between the shoulder blade, he also had a pair of black pants and shinobi sandals. This young boy is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, the son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, twin brother of Natsumi Uzumaki, the forgotten son and the villager's punching bag.
Yeah, his father in his infinite wisdom, decided to make him the scapegoat. Simply so that his mother and sister could be seen as hero's instead of monsters. Saying that they only had the chakra while he had the fox's soul. That was a load of lies for they each had half of the Kyuubi's soul. Thankfully the villagers didn't do anything for three years since he was still cared by his parents. But when they began to neglect him at the age of four, the villagers took that as a sign to harm him.
Since that day the villagers beat him to the inch of his life. The reason he wasn't fully dead was because of fear of the Kyuubi escaping. And like always he was left there to tend his wounds, thankfully his Uzumaki gene allowed him to heal any minor wounds at an abnormal rate. But gaining some scars from his more lethal injuries. His father and sister didn't care about the wound he received. And his mother simply scolded him for lying.
In secret he trained in chakra control with leaf balancing, tree walking, water walking and chakra shaping. The last one was something his father created for the purpose of creating the Rasengan. However he found his father's unique chakra control exercise as a way to be a multi-weapons and objects. Naruto wanted to tell his family about how well he was doing in training by his own. However an event that occurred when he was five prevented him from doing so.
-Flashback-
A young six year old Naruto headed over to his parents who were in the living room. Sitting in the sofa was his mother a woman well known for her beauty. She had a slender, but feminine build, fair skin, violet eyes, and the common Uzumaki red hair. It reached her ankles (waist in the anime) with shoulder-length strands that framed both sides of her face and a black clip that parts her hair to the left. Generally, she wore a high-collared, sleeveless blouse under a long, loose-fitting dress with a wristband on her left wrist and standard shinobi sandals. While her style of clothing normally consisted of this, she has been seen wearing it in varying colors. This was his mother Kushina Uzumaki.
While on the recliner was his father he looked like an older replica of himself; same colored eyes and style along with hair color. He wore a blue long sleeved shirt with red Uzumaki swirls on the biceps, black pants and blue sandals. This was his father Minato Namikaze.
"Mom, Dad! Come with me to the courtyard! I want to show you something!" Naruto said with excitement in his voice. His parents looked at one another and shrugged. Following the boy to the training courtyard. The two parents stood on the edge watching on what their son was going to do.
Naruto got some ten kunais with five on each hand. Taking a deep breath he soon threw one kunai at a time at the five targets in front of him. Each throw it had speed, power and precision. The result leading to each dummy having one kunai in the bullseye located on the chest and one in between the eyes. "Did you see! I practice by what you showed Natsumi-nee. Did I do go-" he was unable to finish as he was slapped him in the face. His eyes looked up to see his that it was his father who did it, and his mother showing disapproval in his face.
"You little brat! We told you that we will train you when you are ready! And you dare disobey me! Go to your room you are grounded!" he shouted as he moved to the side so that he would back inside the house.
Naruto walked towards the house with his head down. He looked at his mother who. But this proves that she is like his father and sister. Not caring about him, only themselves. He silently went up to the room and locked himself up, wondering if he was mistake.
-Flashback end-
Since then he had trained in secret, hidden from the eyes of both civilian and shinobi. Not wanting his family to forbid him from growing stronger to protect himself or becoming a ninja. For he wants to step out of his parent's and sister's shadow.
In a few hours they were going to throw a party for his sister. Even though it was supposed to be his as well. But like how the beatings began so did his parents neglect towards him, while his sister was pampered to a snobbish princess. He was glad to not be spoiled to not act like the 'Princess of Konoha'.
That also goes with the 'Konoha festival' which celebrates the defeat of the Kyuubi and remembering the Sandaime's sacrifice to protect them. But it was also the annual 'Fox Hunt' where his beating goes to the extreme. The civilians and shinobies get more violent during this time of the year.
Wanting to have the rest to handle the upcoming events. So he headed back home and locked himself in his room. And let his body to a soundless sleep.
-Later that night, Namikaze Mansion-
Naruto stood in the corner watching as his sister was getting present from civilian, shinobi and noble party quest. His sister looked like a younger image of their mother, only with her hair being in a pigtail. She wore an elegant violet kimono with red uzumaki swirls on the shoulder and back. Natsumi was also friends with all of the kids their age of the different clans residing in Konoha. He can bet that their parents told the males to do this to be in their sister's good grace. So that possibly one day she would marry one of them.
"May I have your attention everyone?" Minato spoke up, soon the entire quest quitted down. "As you all know today is my daughters seventh birthday. And with it I will announce her as heiress to both the Uzumaki and Namikaze household. Congratulation my beloved daughter." He said and soon all of the children applauded her for being an heiress of two households. While everyone where distracted Naruto ran out of the house.
However one woman was able to see the boy leave with tears in his eyes. She is a fair-skinned woman with long, straight black hair with bangs hanging on either side of her face to roughly frame her cheeks and black eyes. She wore black kimono with a white sash around the waist and the Uchiha clan symbol on her back. This woman is Mikoto Uchiha, mother of Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha along with wife of Fugaku Uchiha. Mikoto felt bad for him and enraged for her friend action toward her son.
In the years she had helped Naruto threw the shadows. Helping make the mob go another direction, taking to the hospital and giving him some gift he find in his room on the night of his birthday. Thankfully her years of Anbu kept Fugaku out of the loop. The woman soon walked up to Kushina.
"Kushina-san can I speak with you, in private." Said Mikoto to the Uzumaki head. The red-haired woman soon followed her friend. The two headed to the studies of the mansion. The ravenet soon turned around and glared at her childhood friend. "What are you thinking!"
"What do you mean?"
"What do I mean? WHAT DO I MEAN? DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A CLANS HEIR RIGHTS ARE TAKEN!" Mikoto shouted.
"Well obviously. He would not be one and be a normal clan member. That is what we would do in Uzushio." Said Kushina not seeing what was wrong.
"Kushina you are wrong. Konoha is not like Uzushio." The female Uchiha said forming a fist with her free hand. "You see in the Konoha charter. When a clan heir is stripped of their rights to lead the clan. They exiled from the clan and can never make contact with them again. Making them a normal civilian with no last name."
Kushina looked shocked at what her friend said. "W-What! But why didn't Minato tell me about this! If I had known that I would have never let it happen." shouted the red-haired Uzumaki. She followed her clans main rule 'family above all'.
"But you did! Now the villagers have free rein on harming him! And not have any form of punishment!" Mikoto roared while pushing Kushina to the wall.
"What do you mean harm him? The village never…" Kushina stayed quiet and recalled an old memory.
-Flashback-
Kushina was in the kitchen preparing the dinner for her family. It was her special ramen recipe that she based out of Ichiraku's. Soon enough the door opened up. The Uzumaki matriarch lowered the temperature of the food and headed to greet who came in. However what she saw was her son covered in cuts and bruises.
"Naruto what happened?!" she went to his side to attend his injuries. After a few minutes she tended the wound on his body and was now focused on the one located on his face.
"I went today to the library wanting to learn more about the elemental nation. Since I might need to know where I am going once I become a shinobi." He winced in pain as his mom took care of the wounded area. "But when I got out the villagers began to chase after me. Then when I turned to an alley with a dead end they attacked me."
Kushina stopped tending her son's wounds and looked down at him with accusing eyes. No shinobi or civilian would dare attack the children of their hokage. "Naruto you better tell me the truth."
"But I am! The villagers and some shinobis attacked me!"
Kushina soon hits her son on the head and glares at him. "Naruto the villagers will never harm you. And for lying to me on how you got them no desert tonight. Also you are grounded till further notice."
-Flashback end-
After recalling that moment Kushina felt like a fool. She didn't believe her son and he may have gotten hurt after that day. How many times was he attacked? And why didn't her husband do anything about it? He was the Hokage so his rule and order is law.
"Do you want to know the ironic part?" said Mikoto glaring at her old teammate. "The reason they are even hurting him is because of your husband. He has told the village that he hold the Kyuubi-no-Kitsune soul. While you and Natsumi had the chakra, but we know that you two each half of the soul. And they didn't attack him until you and Minato began to favor Natsumi." Mikoto words stabbed Kushina in the heart as listened to the truth. "And you Kushina became the one thing we hated in our academy days, a fangirl. Blindly following the same boy who saved you like a knight in shining armor. Hope you are happy with what you have done. Because from now on Natsumi is your only child." Mikoto said as she left the room. Leaving Kushina behind to recollect on what was told.
The older Uzumaki fell to her knees and began to cry. She wanted to deny everything. That nothing her friend said was true. But they weren't. She behaved like a forsaken fangirl to her husband. Obeying him like a faithful dog. Listening to his advice on training Natsumi while ignoring Naruto. And now her lack of action made her son most likely hates her. 'Naruto, my baby boy. I am so sorry.' She cried in the studies for the loss of her son.
-Konoha Street-
The ex-heir of the Namikaze and Uzumaki clan felt rage and betrayal towards his parents. Rage for naming her heir to both households for simply being trained by them. And betrayal because they had kicked him out of the clan. Not paying attention to where he was running he arrived to the main road of the village. And the villagers are in full swing of the 'Kyuubi Festival'.
'Shit!' he thought as the villagers soon caught eye of him.
"Their he is!" shouted one of the villagers. "The fox has arrived! Time for the annual fox hunt!" soon they all got some makeshift weapons along with real ones.
Not wanting to be their he began to run. With the villagers right behind him. The young blond ran for his life jumping through booths, over some stands and then going into the alleyways. His blue eyes looked to see a fence in his way, focusing chakra to his feat he ran on the wall to the other side. Naruto looked back to see that the shinobi of the mobs were now on his tail. The blond sees a fenced in front of him and a hole right underneath it, sliding through the gap he continues running.
The Shinobies pursuing them stopped from their chase. "No way am I going in there." Said one of them looking at the fence sign showing the number '44'. "Let's head back. Who knows the demon might be dead from one of those beasts the forest hold." The other nodded and headed back to the more crowded part of the village.
-Area 44-
Naruto continued running in the thick tall forest. His adrenaline was making him continue going forward even after knowing the shinobies stopped chasing after him. After maybe a few minutes he reaches an open clearing. All the energy he had was wasted so he sits down and leans on a tree taking in a few breaths.
'Great I'm exhausted in one of the many training grounds. I may have thirty minutes max before they come with maybe more of their friends. What is could go wrong?' the boy thought as he soon heard a loud growl from the other side of the clearing. Their before him was a fifteen foot tall tiger, he had many scars on its body including one on its left eye. Its only good eye was locked on him with a hungry look in it. '…Well fuck you too kami.' Naruto thought at the divine force who decided to make his situation bad again.
The tiger rushed towards him in a speed he never thought a beast its size would have. On instinct Naruto was able to dodge however the tiger was able to slash him in the back with its claw. The boy held back a cry of pain from the attack. Focusing on chakra to his hand he gave a solid punch to the beast blind side making it skid to the ring of the edge of the clearing. Outraged the beast roared in anger and charged at him, pouncing with both front paws outstretched and claws ready to shred him. The young blond raised his arms focusing his chakra to them to strengthen the skin. The tiger claws grazed the skin, but then swatted him towards the tree. The force of impact made him scream in pain for his wound now had splinters inside. His eyes looked at the tiger coming in for the kill. 'Is this how I am going to die?'
He recalled the good part of his life, the very small few. Then recalled everything in his life going downhill. Naruto didn't cared anymore on living. Accepting his death he closed his eyes and waited for it to come. But he felt no pain. Instead he heard the tiger yowl in pain. Opening his eyes he sees a figure standing in front of him, a man most likely due to his figure. He wore a single black leather hooded coat with the hood covering the face completely, adorned with a silver zipper and seemingly pointless silver beaded pull strings for the hood that forms a semi circle in the center. Along with a pair of black pants, knee high silver trimmed boots, short black leather gloves that ends at the wrist. From his hand was emitting a red beam with a white interior.
The boy looked at the tiger to see a new slash mark where its blind spot was. Did this man saved him from the massive feline. If so why? No one has ever protected him from being furthered harm. Hell the Anbus of the village gives the villagers and fellow shinobies a blinds eye on what they do to him. So to see someone actually protecting him was kind of nice.
-Minutes prior, Coat figure P.O.V.-
The Wild Sector also known as the 'Forbidden Sector'. A cluster of worlds that are known for their violence. No one with a right mind would dare travel to this place. For unlike the Tame Sectors that are full of light, these worlds are full of darkness. Thus are the perfect breading grounds for powerful Heartless along with Nobodies. It was the reason why I came here. To collect Nobodies to command in the near future.
Opening a door I find myself in a thick dark forest. This place is one of the strongest with the concentration of Heartless. However they appear to hide in the shadows and not appear unless they feel a strong light. The nobodies of this world however soon appeared upon my arrival. Their before me were 40 samurais, 15 Dragoons, 50 Assassins, 10 Dancers, 20 Gamblers, 10 Berserkers, 6 Snipers and 28 Sorcerers. A larger batch of High-Ranking Nobodies, one that can't be found in the Tame Sector. But there was also 200 Dusks and 350 Creepers, Low-Ranking Nobodies. Once more I open the Door to Darkness and all of the Nobodies entered heading to my world base.
As I was about to enter the door I heard a roar of a beast. Planning on ignoring it I continued walking. However something inside me told me to turn around and investigate. It was odd for me to experience such thing. So I decided to listen to my instinct and went towards the clearing. And find out the source of what called me. I soon see a young boy about to be killed by a large tiger. Soon summoning my weapon I attacked the tiger from harming the boy and got ready to finish it.
-Third person P.O.V./ present time-
The tiger now furious on the human attacking him rushed at him with primal fury. The man swung the energy blade on the beast chest sending it upward. Soon a second energy beam appeared on his other hand. The cloaked man hit the beast on the neck, sides, shoulders, back leg then spins in the air to hit it in the spine. Each movement was fluent, not wasting a strike to the enemy. It was like a deadly dance that makes you want to see more. Soon the massive tiger crash into the ground. As it was about to stand the man came down and stabbed it in the heart. With one finale roar the beast dies.
The hooded man soon walked up to Naruto. He then began to remove his hood to reveal his face. He has orange eyes, tanned skin and long messy spiky silver hair that reached his mid-back with some bangs falling on his shoulder. The man didn't show any hostility towards the boy, but interest in the child. "Are you the one to call me here?"
The boy was unable to answer as he soon fell unconscious from all of the pain he felt. The man caught the boy before he fell to the floor. However he can tell the boy is special. His very being was screaming that the boy has potential to be great. Putting the boy over his left shoulder. With his right arm he created a black portal to his base. Soon the two went into the portal and closed behind them. And for the next nine years no one will know the wear about of Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze.
