Prologue

Welcome everybody! Welcome to this new story called 'A Story Written in Blood'. If you had followed me for a while now, you probably know that I am a big fan of LoL. And recently I had been playing a lot with Yasuo, and I made my first pentakill with him. Now, because of that I want to make a story dedicated to this character that has a great story behind him. Some important things before we start:

Naruto personality will be somewhat like Yasuo, I will borrow some of his quotes.

There will be no Uchiha Massacre.

The pairing I think will be multiple but no harem. What do I mean with this? That like in real life, he will have a lover or girlfriend, but for x reasons, they will end it.

And that's all, so we can begin.

"Talking."

'Thinking...'

Prologue: Dishonor

"So, you want me to train you?" Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of Konoha, asked the young boy in front of him. It was a blond boy, not older than 5 with blue-ocean eyes.

The kid nodded shyly "Yes. People says that you are really strong and I want to be strong too." was his simple explanation and Hiruzen nodded.

"Oh. And why don't you ask your father? He is strong also."

"Dad and mom are busy with Subaru. I don't want to annoy them. I know how important it is for him to control the Kyubi." The kid said and Hiruzen chuckled.

"I see. Well, I don't see why I couldn't have another apprentice at this age." Hiruzen said standing up and looking at the child directly to the eye "But have this in mind; I won't go easy on you, Naruto."

Naruto Namikaze, eldest son of the Fourth Hokage, grinned as he nodded "Yes sensei!"

*1 Month Later*

"Naruto, please come here a second." Hiruzern said to his apprentice as he was sitting down on the soft grass.

Naruto opened his eyes as he stood up from the lake he was meditating. He jumped in front of his sensei "Yes sensei?"

Hiruzen smiled warmly to the 4-year old and patted the ground next to him "Sit down my boy, I want to give you something."

Naruto raised an eyebrow "Is this a trick?"

Hiruzen chuckled "Not at all my dear boy. Now sit down, that I have something you might enjoy."

Naruto nodded slowly as he sat down next to the man that has been teaching for a month now. What started like pure torture, he adapted as his training. His body and mind are stronger and he knows the basic and advanced chakra control exercises. "What is it sensei?"

Hiruzen took out a scroll from his robes and opened it. A cloud of smoke was formed and when it dispersed, a sword longer than Naruto appeared on Hiruzen's hand.

Naruto watched with awe the gigantic sword in front of him. He turned to his sensei with the same expression "What is that sensei?"

"This, is your sword, Naruto." Hiruzen said handing the sword to him "I believe that you can use it to help people, to protect those important to you. To keep the Will of Fire alive. Keep it with you, and you will always be safe."

Naruto nodded as he stumbled with the weight of the weapon. "It is heavy."

Hiruzen smiled "Don't worry, you will get used to it with time. Now, I think I know some special techniques that you can learn."

*1 Year Later*

"Are you sure about this Hiruzen?" Minato Namikaze asked to his predecessor. Today he came with a request that Minato wasn't too keen of.

Hiruzen nodded "I am. I believe that Naruto is prepared to become a genin now."

Minato sighed "I don't know Hiruzen. Don't you think he has to enjoy his childhood? I mean, he is only five."

Hiruzen nodded with a stern face "That might be true. But Kakashi was the same age when he graduated."

"That is a different situation. This is my son we are talking about."

Hiruzen opened his eyes and looked at Minato "Minato, you and Kushina trusted me the training of Naruto, and as his sensei, I believe he is ready." Minato opened his mouth but Hiruzen talked first "And if you don't trust my word, then have hope in your son."

Minato looked down, thinking about it. If this is Naruto wants, he can give it to him. He never asks for much so this one thing should be allowed.

"Okay Hiruzen. I will allow it. The exams are tomorrow, I'll leave you to find him a team and a sensei."

Hiruzen bowed with a smile "Thank you for your comprehension, Minato." he then shunshined to tell his apprentice the good news.

*Namikaze Residence*

"WOW! You are so cool, Big Bro!" Subaru Namikaze praised his older brother as he sheathed his sword. Subaru had red hair just like his mother, purple eyes, and white skin with three whiskers like marks on his face.

Naruto smirked at his brother "Thanks, Subaru. But I still need to train more."

"Really!? Why!?"

Naruto shrugged "To be strong and protect you of course. What's the point then?"

Subaru eyes shined, knowing that his brother is strong for him. "Bro, I want to be strong as you..."

Naruto smiled as he ruffled his hair "One day. But you are strong too. You have the nine tails power, remember?"

Subaru looked down "Yeah, but I still don't know how to channel it and my control sucks."

Naruto scratched his chin "That's bad." He raised his finger as he got an idea "Hey! Why don't I help you?"

Subaru grinned "Really!?"

Naruto smirked with a nod "Really."

"Am I interrupting something?" Hiruzen asked as he appeared behind the boys. Naruto saw him and bowed.

"Hello sensei."

Subaru grinned seeing the former hokage "Hey Old Man! Hey, guess what!? My bro is going to teach me to be like him! Isn't he the coolest!?"

Hiruzen chuckled "That's good, Subaru. I hope you become strong under his teachings." He turned to Naruto "Naruto; I talked with your father and he agreed on letting you take the exam earlier."

Naruto grinned as he stabbed his sword to the ground "Thank you sensei! I promise I won't let you down!"

Subaru looked confused by what just happened "What exam are you taking Big Bro?"

Naruto smiled at his brother "Well, tomorrow I will be taking the genin exam." he informed him and Subaru eyes widened.

"WHAT! But we aren't in the academy yet!"

Naruto shrugged "Guess I am that good."

Hiruzen chuckled seeing how the ego of his student grew by every word of praise that Subaru gave him. He will make sure to talk about his arrogance. But for now, he should be celebrating for this.

*One Week Later*

"I don't know sensei..."

"Now, Now Jiraya, it isn't such a big deal." Hiruzen told to his student that scratched the back of his head.

"It is, kind of. You are asking me to take another student when you know I was going to train Subaru."

Hiruzen nodded "You can train him once he is done in the academy Jiraya. But for now, I believe that you training Naruto would be beneficial for you two."

"How so?" Asked Jiraya confused and Hiruzen chuckled.

"You can bond with your godson, and at the same time, you can make him humbler."

"Why? Is he arrogant or something?" Jiraya asked and Hiruzen nodded slowly.

"He is way more advanced than anyone of his generation. He had the second spot in the class they graduated, only behind Itachi Uchiha."

Jiraya eyes widened "Wow. You sure trained him well."

Hiruzen nodded "I tried my best. So, will you accept?"

Jiraya grinned and gave him a thumb up "You can count on the great Jiraya-sama! Besides, I am curious to see how strong he really is."

Hiruzen smiled at him "You'll be surprised."

*Later That Day, Academy*

"Iruka, can you calm down? You had been sweating all day." Naruto said to this kid he met during the exam, Iruka Umino.

"I can't help it. I barely passed and I hope that my new sensei doesn't judge me from that."

Naruto smirked "Don't worry. You're great! And if your new sensei can't see that, then he is an idiot."

Iruka smiled to the younger kid "Thanks Naruto. But... are you allowed to say that?"

Naruto gave him a dry look "Who are you? My mom?"

"Okay class! It is time for team assignments!" The sensei screamed as she took out a notebook.

"First is an apprenticeship. For Naruto Namikaze. Your new sensei will be..." Her eyes widened reading the name "Jiraya of the Sannin!?"

After saying that, a cloud of smoke took over the class. Once it dispersed Jiraya appeared sitting down on top of a red toad that was in front of the class. He had his eyes closed with a smirk on his face "Did somebody say my name?"

Naruto passed a hand across his face knowing the man "Oh kami..."

*Training Ground 3*

"So, Naruto..." Jiraya said in front of his new student that was looking between bored and annoyed.

"What now, Pervy-sensei?"

Jiraya flinched at the name "Okay! First rule! You can't put names on your sensei!"

"Sure, Pervy-sensei."

Jiraya growled before smirking "Well, now for your real test..." He said waiting for Naruto to say something but nothing came. He looked at his bored/annoyed face. "What? No reaction?"

Naruto shrugged "Sarutobi-Sensei already told me about the 'real test'. So, what is it about?"

Jiraya smirked as he stood up. "Simple kid. For the next ten minutes, we are going to fight. If you impress me, you pass. If you don't..."

Naruto rolled his eyes for the cliché it sounds "I don't. I get it Pervy-sensei." He stood up and grabbed the handle of his sword "Ready when you are."

Jiraya smirk didn't flatter "Heh, you will see soon what I am about boy."

*10 Minutes Later*

Jiraya was holding his broken nose and flinched when he moved due to the multiple cuts in his body. "Okay! Guess we learned a lot of each other."

Naruto, still on the ground glared at his new sensei "What exactly? How to beat little kids?"

Jiraya grumbled "No. But how much my new student is going to annoy me."

Naruto smirked "Then it means that..."

Jiraya grinned "That's right! From now on you are the new student of the great Jiraya!"

Naruto smirked as he laid his head on the grass. 'I wonder how proud will Subaru be now...'

*Months Later*

Minato was sat in front of the jonins that had teams. "Now, who wants to nominate their team for the chunin exams held in Suna?"

Jiraya smirked as he raised his arm "I want to nominate Naruto Namikaze."

"You mean the little kid? Isn't that to dangerous?" A random jonin asked and Jiraya scoffed.

"If it was dangerous for him, I wouldn't nominate him. Besides, if it is alright with you Minato, he can participate. Right?" Jiraya said to his student that nodded.

"If the jonin sensei believes that his students are ready, then I will approve it." Minato said. In the end, Naruto was the only nominated to go to Suna.

All the jonins left, with the exception of Jiraya, due to Minato wanting to say something to him. "Do you really believe he is ready, sensei?"

Jiraya grinned "Like I said before; I wouldn't nominated him if I didn't believe in him. And kami knows how much the brat believes in himself."

Minato chuckled "I imagine. Subaru talks really highly of him. He says that when he grows up, he wants to be like him. Even though their age difference are only 5 minutes." He laughed at the end and gave his sensei one last look. "Please, make sure he comes back."

Jiraya gave him the thumbs up. "Don't worry Minato! Leave it to the great Jiraya-sama!"

*2 Months Later*

"BRO! You were so cool!" Subaru said while stuffing food into his mouth. Naruto smirked as he adjusted his new chunin vest.

"What can I say; I am a prodigy." He bragged and Jiraya smirked.

"What can you expect when you trained under the best?"

Naruto smirked back at him "You mean Sarutobi-sensei?"

Jiraya glared at his student "Why you brat..."

"Enough of arguing! We are here to celebrate Naru-chan's victory!" Kushina proclaimed as she entered the dining room with a cake that said 'Congratulations! Chunin Namikaze!'

Naruto and Subaru both eyed the cake with hungry eyes. Kushina made a gesture for them to dig in and they did.

She watched as one of her baby boys became a strong man. A man that she could be proud of.

Minato was sharing the same feeling, watching his sons interact as the great friends they are, while Jiraya bragged about how well he trained him and Sarutobi chuckling at the antics of those three.

He just wishes that he could be the one that train him to this point.

*6 Years Later*

"Jonin Naruto Namikaze reporting for duty." Naruto said as he entered the Hokage office. Minato looked at him with a smile.

"Good to see you Naruto. Now, we have an important mission for you to take."

Naruto nodded "Sure, what is it about?"

"You have to escort an important client back to the fire capital." Naruto face fell with that information.

"So, this 'important mission' is a C-rank?" He asked and Minato sighed.

"It might be seen as a C-Rank but this is highly important Naruto. The client is a close friend to the Daimyo and he requested you personally to escort him."

"Why me exactly?" Naruto asked suspiciously and Minato raised his hand to calm him down.

"I had my doubts first too, but he just wanted to see Konoha power from a younger generation. He wanted either you or Itachi."

Naruto nodded "He wants to see how are the prodigies of Konoha, huh?"

Minato nodded "Pretty much."

Naruto groaned as he walked out "Fine pops. But I won't like it!" Minato chuckled at the words of his son and checked the mission report. The client has 4 elite guards and one shinobi guard with Naruto. He will be traveling in a carriage with the 4 guards surrounding it and Naruto would go in the back. The client also has a bodyguard of an unknown name but that he trusts with his life.

What could go wrong?

*Somedays Later*

The mission was an utter and complete failure.

They were ambushed by some missing nins that beat them in the number games. Naruto managed to fight them back but the guards were killed. When the last one of them was killed he went into the carriage to see if the client was okay.

When he opened the door, he saw that both, him and the bodyguard were dead.

Now, Minato has his son bowed in front of him, waiting for his punishment for failing an important mission like this.

In any other case, this would be a suspension or no getting paid, but this wasn't any other case. The Daimyo has been asking for heads for the dead of his close friend. The elders had agreed with the Daimyo requests but Minato didn't.

He just can't kill his son.

The one that he and Kushina are so proud of.

The one that Subaru idolatrizes.

A prodigy of this village.

So, Minato had an idea that might hurt his son pride but that will save his life.

He will strip him of his rank and status as shinobi of this village.

Naruto, when he heard that, he looked with eyes full of emotions. First, surprise, then, sadness, then, anger and finally betrayal. Minato took the headband of his son head. The same headband that he had been wearing proudly since he was five. He took off his flak jacket, leaving him only with a blue kimono and grey baggy pants.

When Minato dismissed him, Naruto turned around and simple said: "I am going to hunt down the killer. And when I found him, I will come back. No sooner, no later."

He left leaving Minato confused and saw his son shunshin away. Minato, worried that the arrogance and pride of his son, would make him do something stupid, followed him.

He flashed to his home and Kushina stopped him "Minato; why doesn't Naruto has his jacket or headband? Is everything okay?"

"Where is he now?" Minato asked and Kushina pointed to the stairs.

"He arrived and went to his room. Why?"

Minato didn't answer, he just went upstairs to see what was his son planning. He was about to open his door, when Naruto did it first as he was carrying a small brown bag. "Naruto, what's that?"

"Some clothes and weapons that I will be needed." He said as he passed through him and downstairs. He rushed down to see Naruto saying goodbye to Kushina as she teared up. She turned to Minato.

"Minato! Do something! Stop him!" She begged as Minato took a deep breath. This is what he hates of being Hokage.

To choose between the village and family.

"Naruto Namikze; if you find the culprit of the murder, you will be forgiven. But until then, you won't get your rank back. Is that clear?"

Naruto bowed his head "As water, Lord Hokage." Naruto said as he left the house and Kushina begged him to stay.

He opened the door to see Suabru looking at him with a big grin. "Hey bro; going out again?" he asked and then noticed his clothes "And your stuff? Did you lose it?"

Naruto didn't say anything. He just looked at his dear little brother. The one that he loves more than anything. he ruffled his hair and simply said.

"Take care and grow strong."

With that said, he left the village for years to come.

And done! Man, that was the longest prologue I ever written. But I hope it was good and that you enjoyed it. I just want to say, that there will be no bashings in this story. If you feel that I bash Minato here, then I have to say that wasn't my intention. And that's all! Remember to leave a Review that it helps my motivation, PM me for any question or suggestion, follow and favorite me and the story.

Till Next Time.
