The rise of NightFox

Chapter 1: mother meets son

Konoha, outskirts

As the moon shines throughout the night sky a four year old boy wearing a white T-shirt with green shorts runs through the forest all the tired from exhaustion but kept running only one thought in mind. "I'm leaving this village and never coming back. I'm tired of being treated like I'm a nobody". The boy said as he stoped.

This boy is Naruto Uzumaki and he just ran away from the orphanage after a huge fire broke out. The reason for this is because for the last four years of his life the people of konoha have treated him poorly. Some glared at him, some pushed him away with out reason. Kids often made fun of him, throw rocks and dirt at him. He tried to make friends with kids his age but parents told them to stay away from him.

As Naruto catches his breath he can't help but think about the few people who has shown him kindness. The Third Hokage, the ramen shop owners, and the nuns at the orphanage. He sometimes wish he could live with them heck to live with anyone who was kind to him. But no one would adopt him. He asked the nuns why and there response was. "You just aren't what they're looking for".

He feels there's something they weren't telling him but he was too busy looking where he stopped. He looked around to see he was in a small village market with people walking around seeing what catches their attention.

"Oh great now I'm lost wish I had somewhere to go".

but he didn't he only had this way or to go back to where he saw fire.

"Why did those guy start that fire start anyway?" He said to himself with a confused look remembering how to started.

Flashback: Konoha orphanage

During the afternoon he came back in after doing chores outside. One of the nuns noticed him and and called out to him.

"Oh Naruto there you are have you finish all your chores?"

"Yes sister I have."

"Okay the food's not quite ready so relax with the other children, and also try to stay out of trouble." The nun told him knowing he doesn't get along well with the others

Naruto sighed. "I'll try, Although I can't make any promises." He usually keeps to himself but every now and then some of the other kids make fun of him for not getting adopted. This would lead to a few fights which the nuns had to break up.

As he sat in the other room away from the other children his mine was wandering off somewhere. "I wonder what it would be like to live outside this village to have a real family to have real friends."

Everything was quite until suddenly a blast of fire came through the walls. The other children were all in a panic until the caretakers came.

"All of you stay calm and follow us out the back! I REPEAT EVERY ONE FOLLOW US OUT!" The main caretaker said trying to get their attention to lead them out.

Naruto being the farthest away was about to go with them until he saw an open window on the left side of the orphanage he new was closest to the nearby forest. He looked at both his exits if he want off the back with everyone else he would be safe but he would still have to live with the Villagers mistreatment of him, but if he went out through the window he probably find somewhere else to go another Village perhaps and never have to deal with the mistreatment ever again either way he had to make a choice right now as the fire was spreading. He then heard a calm voice that said. 'Run there, they'll trap you on other side."

As if his feet were on autopilot he ran straight for the window and jumped out and quickly sprint towards the forest and hid behind the scrubs. As he was catching his breath he heard people talking from the front of the orphanage.

"That should smoke out the demon but just to be sure lets go around the back to cut him off." He heard a man say.

"We need to make this quick before any anbu show up." Another one said.

"Don't worry lord danzo said we have time, we just need to make sure to capture the uzumaki kid." A third man said. Naruto eyes widen at what he just heard before he continued running.

Flashback end

Small Village Market

"I don't know why they would do that but I should keep going." Naruto said as he started walking. As he continues he sees a wagon cart with horses at the front ready to pull when orderd.

As Naruto look's inside he notice a lot of food and water. His stomach begin to grumble then he remembers the fire started before dinner.

"I'm so hungry I didn't get a chance to eat yet." He mutters before he climbs in the back of the cart.

As this was happening a beautiful woman was heading from a market stand with a bag in each hand. She an average height woman with long blue hair, blue eyes and fair white skin with pointed ears. She wore a purple dress with a choker around her neck and had on black heeled shoes.

She puts her bag's in the back of the cart without noticing the boy that crawled in there. She heads to the front seat and begins to mush the horses to start moving. As wagon started moving she remembers how she's to this point in life.

To most people she an ordinary woman that live in a civilian city. ( The horses are just rented out for people to travel the countryside because cars aren't allowed). But her name is medea the former princess of colchis, daughter of king Aeetes, ex-wife of Jason.

Medea gripped her hands remembering the man who lead her down a path of darkness. How he made her betray her father, her brother, and her country. All thank to a spell cast on her by goddess aphrodite.

When she become a spirit she dreamed one day being summoned into a grail war and be granted a wish. To be able to return to her homeland that or to be a great wife and mother. Those were two things she would ever want.

But ever since she reappeared in this world there was no grail war and she was just here for some unknown reason. Taking advantage of this she started to rebuild her life the best way she knew how. Using magical abilities for fortune telling and opening a charm shop. Its her wayof making amends for the atrocities she was forced to do.

Medea pulls up to the cottage she had owned for the time being. She can wait to take the train back to the city. The ninja village like to keep themselves separate from modern cities in fear of illegal contraband of modern weapons that are forbidden in ninja territory.

As she move her bag's from the cart to the cottage. She notice a sleeping Naruto in the back.

"Where did this child come form?" Medea said as she look at the boy.

"By the look's of it he must have been hungry and climbed in to get something to eat and dozed off." She analyzed the situation.

"Well I can't just leave him out here in the cold." She then picks up the boy and takes him inside.

Once inside she put him on the couch. She quickly grabs a blanket to put over him. Once this was done she went to get the rest of the bag's and started cooking.

About a moment later Naruto wakes up to find himself wrapped in a blanket. He tries to get up until he heard someone call out to him.

"You can lay down a few more minutes the foods almost ready." Said Medea as she sets the table.

Naruto looks scared and confused but does what he's told and lays back on the couch. Looking around the room he see that its a plain old cottage.

A few more minutes pass by and he hears the woman call out to him again.

"The foods all done you can come in now but make sure to wash your hands." Medea said with a smile.

Naruto get up and head to the kitchen to see she prepared shrimp fried rice and baked pork chops. His stomach growls at the sight of it.

He quickly washes his hands then sits at the table where the mysterious lady fixed his plate and put it in front of him.

He wastes no time in eating enjoying every bite of it. "She's an amazing cook." He said unknowingly out loud.

Medea sit down and begins to eat as well. While eating she looks at Naruto happy that he enjoys her cooking.

While she was making dinner she used her magic to look inside Naruto's head. She found out why he was in her wagon cart.

She couldn't help but feel sympathy for the child. Seeing how the people of konoha treated him. "I'll have to talk about it with him after we're done eating." She makes a mental note.

After dinner Naruto offers to help clean up. But she told him that it's fine and that he can go into the living room and play on her phone. She had many games on her phone from Angry Birds, Candy Crush, too bowling games.

When Medea finished she went to the living room and sat next to Naruto. "How far have you gotten." She asked seeing him playing Candy Crush.

"It's too hard what's the trick to beating this game?" Naruto asked agitated.

"You just need to bring them in the right place then all of it comes together." She help him by showing him a good move.

"Wow they all just explode one after another. Your really good at this game you know." Naruto said in excitement.

"Oh I wouldn't say that I'm just good at putting things in the right order." She chuckles.

They both start laughing enjoying this moment until Medea begins to speak again.

"So any reason why I found you in the back of my wagon." She asked already knowing the answer but wanted to hear it from him.

Naruto grows nervous but begin to tell her what happened at the orphanage, about the fire and how he was hungry. When he was finished he waited what she would do.

Medea though of it for a bit and there is no way she can send him back to that village if she could help it.

Then an idea pop into her head "but will he want to stay with me." That was the real question.

"Naruto." She began. "What would you say if I decided to adopt you." She implied.

Naruto's eyes widen in shock after hearing her request. This women wants to adopt him this was too good to be true. This was something he always wanted to have someone take him in, to be someone's son.

"Are you serious." Naruto's eyes begin to tear up. "Are you sure you want someone like me."

"Only if your okay with having me for a mother." She says opening her arms inviting him to a hug.

Unable to hold back the tears. Naruto jumps into her arms crying tear of joy as hugs the women that is now his mother.

Medea can't help but silently cry as she holds her son knowing his answer.

After a few moments she break the hug to tell him that they will leave for the train tomorrow and head to her hometown Twilight city. There she can file the paperwork to make him her son. For now she tells him its time for bed.

"Mom is it alright if I sleep with you tonight." He asked nervously.

"Of course." Medea chuckled as she pets his head.

They both went to bed, with Naruto having the best night sleep he ever had in his young life.

Cottage, Morning

That morning they had breakfast and were getting ready to leave for the train station.

"Hey mom what's Twilight City I've never heard of it?"

"Its a city in America. America is a country outside of this Vale Nation."

"Vale Nation what are thoses?" He asked this literally being the first time he's heard of this.

"Vale Nations are country's hidden on the other side of vale gates which helps connect them together, we can talk about them later just know that the train station we're going to leads through these gateways." Medea told him, and with that they left for the train station.

Twilight City

As they're trained reached the city Naruto notice the beautiful landscape. "Wow this place looks way bigger than the leaf Village."

"City's like these often are." Medea informed him.

When they finally reached their destination they took a cab to madea's house. As the driver pulled up to the driveway Medea paid him and brought Naruto to the front porch. With a smile on her face she looks to Naruto. "Welcome home Naruto."

Naruto responds with the biggest smile on his face. "There's no place like home."
