So this is my first fic, so i dont really know wheather its any good or not (depending on the readers taste) so hopefully any more experienced writers can review or PM me to give me some constuctive criticism, such as: 1) What you didn't like about certain parts 2) Anyway I can improve upon these parts3) Any ideas on a way to keep the main character from getting to full of himself or way to move the story along.
Also to those who flame (and there will be flames) please know that i'm still inexperienced as a writer and i'm trying my best.
Now on to the Disclaimer.Disclaimer: I do NOT own fate stay night or naruto those belong to their respective creators/animators ... now on to the story.
Flames ... as far as the eye could see ... the roars of the nine-tailed fox echoing behind the crackling of white hot flames, and among these flames was young boy, not even three years old, stumbled across the burning ground.
His home having been crushed by the mighty claws of the nine-tailed fox. His parents weren't home, as today was the day of his little sister's birth, September, 9th. (Ironic isn't it)
The young boy was named Naruto, he had spikey red hair and blue eyes with a noticable gold ring around the pupil, (for clothing, imagine a smaller set of clothes like shirou wore during the fuyuki fire) but currently his eyes were dull and lifeless, after a few steps Naruto collapsed onto a patch of dirt that was untouched by the fires spanning around him. He tried to get up again to keep moving but his tired arms and legs couldn't support his weight and he fell to the ground once more.
As he was about to pass out from the smoke from the fires around him, a sudden flash of yellow lit up his darkening eyes, and a splash of a water jutsu put the fires around him out.
Looking up he saw his father, Minato Namikaze kneeling in front of him with tears flowing from his eyes. "He's alive!" Minato shouted in joy. Suddenly an exact copy of Minato appeared and the original Minato told the copy to go find his mother Kushina.
Immediately the clone left and after the copy did so did Minato scoop his son up into his arms and not even after second had passed did the clone reappear, this time with a pretty redhaired women.
The woman, Kushina, was holding a bundle in her arms tears also streaming from her eyes, as she saw Naruto in Minato's arm.
They immediately rushed to the mostly undamaged hospital.
Where Naruto and the other people who weren't killed, but were injured in some shape or form, were treated and cared for. While Minato and Kushina were waiting for Naruto to wake up, Kushina had fallen asleep with Naruto's sister in her arms, also asleep, Minato on the other hand was still looking at the sleeping/recovering Naruto.
Minato look up from Naruto to gaze upon his sleeping sister (Naruto's) as he remembered the cause behind the attack by Kyuubi.
[flashback]-
"AAAAH!" Kushina who was in labor screams as, finally, Naruto's sister was born into the world. "It's a girl" (cliche i know but im a 17 year old male and i dont know what else to say in situations like this) the docter cried as she cleans the baby off.
Kushina pants as she slowly recovered her strength to finally speak. "Can ... I ... see her ..." she says between her huffs for air. "Of course!" as she slowly starts to hand her the baby.
Kushina notices a small white patch of hair on her babies head. "What should we name her Kushina?" Minato asked all the while holding a certain fox inside the seal on her belly in by keeping the seal closed.
"Illya" she responds after fully catching her breath. "After my great-grandmother." "Why?" Minato asks curious. "Because of her hair, my grandmothers hair was pure white, even when she was a child." Kushina explains before the doctor took Illya from her to get her cleaned up further.
Minato was about to fix Kushina's seal when the sound of a body hitting the ground, a sound he had gotten very familiar with during the 3rd shinobi war.
He turns to look at where the sound came from, and saw the doctor on the ground and next to her body was a man in a cloak with a yellowish-orange mask with a black flame pattern on it, and he was holding Illya in his arms.
"Step away from the Jinchuriki 4th Hokage, or this child will die at the ripe age of one minute." the man spoke in a dark and forboding voice. "A-Alright j-just stay calm" Minato said worried for the safety of his second born child. The man chuckles and says "you should take your own advice 4th hokage, I'm perfectly calm" the man then threw up Illya and tries to stab her with a kunai. "ILLYA!!!" Kushina screams in fear for her newly born daughter. Suddenly there was a flash of yellow as Minato sped to Illya at full speed to catch her. He then heard a hissing noise from Illya's blanket that she was wrapped in. Looking he saw that the man had put paper bombs on the blanket, jumping he tears the blanket from Illya and teleports to a nearby safehouse. However this cause Kushina to be alone with the masked man.
With Minato -
Minato had just finished teleporting to the safe house where inside was a crib for Illya. Gently placing her down inside, he whispered to Illya "Don't worry Illya I'll find your mom, and when I do I'll be back in a flash." He then proceeded to "Flash away" to where kushina was.
With Kushina - moments earlier
Kushina winced in pain as the masked man as he chains her to a pair of rocks using seals.
Kushina is panting from the pain she is experiencing at the moment, and she was just barely able to say "What do you want." The man chuckles and says "why my dear I believe you know what i want." At this her eyes widen, as she then yells out "Are you crazy the fox will destroy everything in its way-" she was cut off by the man "Ah, but that is exactly what I want." She looks at him in fear she was about to respond when suddenly she doubled over in pain. The reason for this was because the man had started extracting the kyuubi from her.
Inside the seal Kyuubi's eyes widened in rage as it recognizes the chakra signiture of the one trying to free it "YOU!!" it roared in rage "I refuse to be controled again" and that was the last thing the fox could say before he was taken over and his eyes changed into the shape of the sharingan and it roars in beastly fury.
At the time this happened the man spoke two simple words but they were filled with malice "Come ...KYUUBI!!!" and in a stream of red chakra as well as a heart-stopping roar, Kyuubi, the nine-tailes fox was free once more.
"W-wait!" Kushina, who was still alive due to her Uzumaki longevity, said trying to get up and stop the man and the Kyuubi from leaving. "Hmm, you Uzumaki's are really something, to have survived the extraction of a tailed beast as powerful as the nine-tails." the man said inquizitively "No matter. Now Kyuubi kill her. Kill the one who has kept you imprisoned for so long!"
With a roar the fox obeyed and sent a clawed hand/paw towards the exhausted Uzumaki. Just when the fox's claw was about an inch away from her, a yellow flash lit up the area.
Minato had grabbed her at the last second and reappeared on top of a nearby tree.
Weakly Kushina whispered to him " M-Minato i-is Illya safe?" "Yeah she's safe" Minato responds, he then glares over his shoulder, right at the masked man and the kyuubi. He then flashes back to the area where he had placed Illya, he placed Kushina next to Illya. "Illya." Kushina says in happiness as she huge her daughter to her chest lightly.
A this happens Minato feels angry, angry that the masked man had the balls to do this to his family. "He'll pay" Minato whispers quietly so Kushina couldn't hear, she heard him but she didn't say anything. Minato runs to a closet, that had his hokage cloak inside. "Minato, be safe" Kushina says. "Don't worry, I'll be back in a flash." and with that he was gone.
He reappeared on top of the Hokage Mountain, on his own head to be exact, and notices the village of konoha up in flames. Looking around for his own house, he sees it was crushed. Fearing the worst, he sent a clone to search the remains of the house for his son.
Just as that happened the Kyuubi, who had been raging in the distance, turned and noticed Minato upon his head. Minato noticed this and calmly said "noticed me already?" Kyuubi started charging up a tailed beast bomb (bijuu-bomb from now on), when it released it, the bijuu-bomb charged towards Minato.
Minato, in order to counter this, created a seal in mid-air, useing his tri-pronged kunai as a catalyst, the seal absorbed the bijuu-bomb and sent it miles away, behind him, where in explodes in a dome of blue and red chakra.
Minato suddenly felt a presence behind him and swung his arm, the one that was holding his kunai, behind him, he sees the kunai pass through the masked man, who had appeared behind him. The man grabbed on to Minato's arm. "You're mine now, 4th hokage." the man says as he tries to absorb Minato in to his pocket dimension that he created using his space/time ninjustu technique, called kamui. Keyword "tries" at the last second, Minato flashes away. "So fast." the masked man says in respect and slight awe at Minato's speed, and with those words spoken the man swirls away to find Minato. A few minutes later he found Minato and proceeded to attack him. (the fight between Minato and the masked man is the same as in the anime, sorry.)
A few minutes later - after Minato vs. Masked man
After Minato released the kyuubi from the masked man's control, the man fled the scene, but not before leaving a few ominous words. "I will be back 4th Hokage, and when I do the kyuubi will be mine once more, as will the rest of the world." and with that he swirled away, not to be seen for a very long time. "Something tells me that he wasn't joking." Minato thinks sarcasticly. With that, he flashed away to seal the kyuubi.
With 3rd hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi - a few minutes later
"I have to hurry" the old hokage thinks as he ran into the forest to where Minato, who had appeared and flashed away himself and the Kyuubi in to the forest holding both his (Minato's) wife and his newborn child on his back (Kushina) and in his arms (Illya). Knowing what Minato was going to do he rushed after him. He barely made it in time, he saw Minato about to perform the Shiki Fujin (reaper death seal), knowing he had to stop minato he pumped his leg with chakra and sped towards Minato and, just before Minato could finish the hand signs, knocked him out
Kushina was shocked when her husband suddenly collapsed to the ground unconsious. Looking up she saw the former Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi performing the same seals that Minato had just tried to do. Her eyes widened in realization as Hiruzen finished the last seal "SHIKI FUJIN" he shouts out then a figure, who radiated death, appeared behind Hiruzen.
Just then Minato to reawoke to see that Hiruzen had summoned the Shinigami (death god) in his (Minato's) place "Minato" the 3rd said " prepare to seal the rest into your daughter useing the 8 pronged seal" "... right!" Minato says with conviction and he prepares an alter for the sealing. While Minato does this, Hiruzen send the shinigami to tear off half of the Kyuubi's chakra, the yang half into Kushina to keep her alive. Now all that is left was the yin half "NOW MINATO" Hiruzen shouts out.
At the shout Minato then seals the rest of the Kyuubi, with a flash of white light, into Illya. With that the shinigami proceeds to slowly devour Hiruzens soul. Minato turns to look at the 3rd who says "I'm sorry Minato but both Naruto and your daughter need you in their life as well as this village. Had you had died I probably would have had to come out of retirement to take your place, and I would have been stuck with my arch-enemy, paperwork, once more. I would rather be eaten by Kyuubi than do all that paperwork again... hehe and now your stuck with it." Hiruzen gave a pained laugh as he said this.
Minato chuckles. Curious Hiruzen wonders why Minato was laughing, so he voiced his question "Because lord 3rd I've already figured out the secret on how to beat the enemy of all kage." Shocked Hiruzen asks how.
"Two words ... Kage Bunshin..." With the secret revealed Hiruzen stood shocked then he burst out laughing "I ... can't ...believe... I... didn't ...think of that." Hiruzen says between fits of laughter. Just as he finished his sentence the shinigami finished devouring his soul, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, the 3rd hokage, the god of shinobi callapsed to the ground with a wide smile on his face, dead to the world around him.
Right then Minato clone found Naruto and dispelled and immediately Minato flashed away to Naruto, leaving a confused Kushina to recover for a few seconds with Illya who was still sleeping soundly. A few minutes later Minato (the clone) flashed back to Kushina and explained that their house was crushed and that he (the original) sent a clone to find Naruto, and that his clone found him and that was why he left, as well as that he was a clone that Minato sent to grab her and Illya. With that the clone put his hand on kushina's shoulder and they flashed away to Naruto and Minato.
[Flashback end]
That was two days ago, and now here they were, waiting for naruto to wake up from his mini-coma, due to the trauma and some of his burns. While they were waiting Minato had ordered any and all uninjured ninja to assist in rebuilding the village. Minato was also helping, having created a few hundred clones to help rebuild. He had also sent a hundred clones to search through the remains of their house to gather all the jutsu, which were protected in an underground library under the house, as well as start to build a foundation for their new house to be built on top of the original. So far, according to one of his clones, the village, with the help of the, surpisingly large amount of, uninjured ninja and his clones the village should be rebuilt within three weeks. His new house however was to be completed within a week.
The sound of movement from Naruto caught his attention. "Nnn" Naruto lightly groaned. Naruto was starting to wake up. Minato quickly shook Kushina, as gently as possible so as not to wake up Illya. "What is it?" Kushina quietly moaned, slightly annoyed from being awoken from her slumber.
"It's Naruto, I think he's about to wake up." That caught Kushina's attention, she looked to Naruto, hopefully. Not even a moment later, Naruto woke up in a daze, until he remembered the events of two days ago (not that he new that.), and he hastily sat up and looked around, desperately, until he saw his Mom and Dad, as well as a bundle of blankets, he absently noticed, he then proceeded to launch himself at Minato and gave him a hug, mostly out of fear that this wasn't real and he was still in the fire.
A week later - newly built Namikaze/Uzumaki residence
Minato was worried for his son, for the past two days his eldest child, Naruto, had, ever since the kyuubi attack, and subsequently the fire he found Naruto in, had not left his room once it was finished, along with the house, except to eat and go to the bathroom and even then his eyes were vacant, as if his body was moving on its own.
All of this had Minato worried that his son had died in the fire and all that was left was this husk, and empty vessel so to speak, with no soul linking it to life.
Kushina noticed his distress and got up from their new couch, upon which they were both sitting on watching T.V. and stood in front of him with a small calming smile and said in a soft comforting tone " Minato, how about you go wash up Illya and yourself for dinner, and I'll go and talk to naruto."
Sighing Minato got up and grabbed Illya, gently, from her nearby crib and took her to the bathroom to get cleaned for dinner.
Sighing pleasantly Kushina walked up the stairs to her sons room and knocked on the door, she heard a faint, barely even a whisper, "come in" opening the door she saw papers covered in drawings of fire, for a three year old the drawings were quite well done, but what really got her attention was her youngest son looking up at her with dull eyes, that made her want to hug her son while break down crying.
Steeling her resolve, she motioned for her son to follow her downstairs.
He obeyed and followed her to the porch (where shirou and kiritsugu had their last talk, basically naruto's house is the same as shirou's).
Kushina sat down and motioned for naruto to sit beside her, he did as asked. "Naruto did I ever tell you why I became a ninja of konoha or how I met your father ?" Kushina asked "Mom if this is one of those "how i met your mother" situations that you and dad always watch then I don't think I should hear it." Naruto responded
(A/N: know he's got an impressive vocabulary for a three year old but I'm not going to make naruto do toddler talk ... besides when I was three I was already speaking Normal english rather fluently, so why not naruto?), to which she laughs out "No, this isn't like one of those situations." after hearing this naruto looked up at her with a small spark of curiousity forming in his dull eyes, making her grin internally at seeing some form of emotion,since the attack, in her son's eyes.
"But..." Kushina says to her son " before we go into a trip down memory lane, why don't you tell me what's wrong." she says in hopes that talking would relieve the trauma somewhat "What do you mean mom?" Naruto asks quietly
"You know what I mean Naru-chan" Kushina replies in a fake strict tone.
At the nickname Naruto twitches, and annoyance flashes in his eyes ,which Kushina caught, as he blushes. "Momma!! Don't call me that!!" Naruto yells embarassed, having never liked that nickname.
Kushina giggles in amusement. "Sorry Sorry, it's just that this is the most emotion I've seen from you in a while." Kushina the puts on a stern facial expression and says "Now back on topic. What. Is. Wrong."
Naruto looks down in thought and says in a soft tone "I barely ... feel anything anymore..."
Kushina looking confused asks "What do you mean Naru-chan"
Again Naruto twitches at the nickname but ignores it for now, and says "I mean that I don't feel happiness or any of those feelings, I just feel ..." Naruto paused to think of the right word "...Hollow."
At this Kushina's eyes widened in shock, before finally her willpower crumbles and she latched onto Naruto, and pulled him into a hug.
Naruto's eyes were wide, but still a dull blue/gold. He tried to get out of the hug, but Kushina maintained and pulled him deeper into her embrace.
Naruto could now hear her heart-beat and as he listened to it, he started to relax. He then felt something wet on his cheek. Moving his hand just enough to feel his face, he looked and he saw that he was crying. Just as he realized this he felt something within him burst. He latched onto his mother and cried, a cried that was filled with so much pain that had built up for the past week.
A little while later.
After Naruto finally calmed down, he looked up to Kushina, as she began her tale, about how she once wanted to be Hokage as well as a hero as a young girl (A/N Basically just a mix of Kushina and Kiritsugu's backstories, with Kiritsugu's childhood being used for Kushina's before she went to konoha [but no experiments on undead apostles and instead it would be kumo, kiri, and iwa attacking, and Kushina's Mother being the one who let them in, Kushina had found her mom and found out what her mother did and proceeds to kill her]) his eyes were not as dull as before as throughout their Little talk.
When she finished her story, Naruto looks down in thought. "What is it Naruto?" Kushina asks in worry. Suddenly Naruto's head jerks upright with his eyes now completely full of emotion, however only one really stood out to her, Determination. "... I've decided." he says in conviction. "Decided what Naru-chan")?" Kushina asks curious.
"To be a hero like you and dad, a hero who protects the innocent, and will keep those close to me safe, ... at any cost."
[A/N: yes they have technology in this fanfiction, because well i have a few things planned in the future, but they dont have cars or any type of vehicle (except the train and the directors vehicles which appears in the naruto naruto movie "ninja clash in the land of snow") so no ninja village with get a goddamn tank, so get off my back ya goddamn anime nazis. *glares at all the naruto fanatics rampaging about the inaccuracy of technology being in naruto* besides this is about 1000 years after the cataclysm(sp?) and magic circuts have evolved into the chakra network with everybody having the same amount of chakra coils ... well almost every body, jinchuriki will have two sets of chakra coils to use their bijuu's power to the (somewhat) fullest, but these are only activated after making contact with their bijuu's chakra. Also Naruto is a pseudo-Jinchuriki so he will have a second chakra network like any other Jinchuriki, however he will only have 27 of these secondary chakra coils and they work like magic circuts.]
See you in the next update.
