Huntsman's Mimicry

I was going to save this for later but I don't have time to write big stuff for a little bit. This was going to be split into small segments throughout a few chapters to show Naruto's past, like I had with some previous chapters. By no mean is this very descriptive but it gets the job done, so to speak. Anyway I hope you enjoy this small chapter

Vongola Ninja: I believe Neo would plan more than just kill Cinder for the "play dates", you'll just have to wait for that. I don't think the fantasy lemon would really work but it's an interesting concept, don't think Neo would appreciate Naruto being attracted to another.

Guest(1): Naruto's fox traits are red eyes with slit pupils like the nine tails. Similar to Tukson, Naruto has retractable claws and larger canines so he can look pretty human like Blake if he wants to. There is a lot of thing Jacques would be brought down for, one thing he is good at is hiding the evidence

Guest(2): I don't see how he is always getting beaten. Naruto has beaten team Rwby without getting a scratch, practically beat Blake without a weapon, fought evenly with Pyrrha despite wearing a lot of metal and needed Nora and Weiss to help, even in the omake at age 13 was keeping up with Winter using only a weapon he had no experience with. The other two proper fights, Nora in the 1v1 where he had to hold back for cover while with Mercury, he was really drunk.

"Mom, Dad, Hel-" a large smack echoed across Naruto's face.

"Silence, animal" a deep soulless voice ordered.

"Le-" another hard smack struck Naruto's face. Energy leaving him, Naruto slumped forward. The restrictions on his limbs kept him on the chair, preventing him from fully collapsing.

"Lord Danzo, the boy is ready for communication" the individual raised its voice.

A tapping of a cane made Naruto raise his head, shakily. "Naruto Uzumaki" Danzo moved directly in front of the blond, with only a couple of feet between them. "Tell me, what do you want? Power… Skill… Freedom… tell me, what you want".

"M-mom… a-and dad" Naruto cowered at the masked individual next to him.

"Your parents, eh?" Danzo put a comforting hand on Naruto's shoulder. The blond shook noticing the cold steel look the man was giving him. "Don't worry boy… I will help you find your parents… you just have to do what I say without resisting, got it?" Naruto nodded desperately. "That's a boy… Inu begin shock and burn treatment" Danzo left with his usual coldness as the masked individual pulled out a blowtorch from his belt.

"N-no, no… please" Naruto begged until screams were all that could be heard

"Argh" a brown haired boy flew backwards, skidding across the ground. A grey aura shattering as the boy fell unconscious.

"Again" a loud echo came from above.

"Yes, Lord Danzo" a ten year old blond, bowed towards the voice. He wore a sleeveless black, skin tight body suit with a grey flak jacket on top. He also donned metal bracers, knee guards and protective boots.

"Hebi, you will fight Mutt" the blond turned to a duck haired boy that step passed him. "Kurama, I need to speak. Follow. Inu monitor the sparring" Danzo tapped his cane as he walked away. Darting after the man, the blond stopped a meter away before walking behind Danzo. The two remained silent as they walked down the dim corridor. Danzo grunted before a small beep pinged, as the wall shifted to the side like a hidden door. "You have performed well over these past couple of years, you have shown great skill and adaptability… an exceptional participant of Root".

"Thank you, Lord Danzo" Kurama gazed at his master with a dead stare.

Danzo stopped in front of secure metal door. "Kurama, I wish to indulge you in your success by making you captain of the third division" Kurama remained silent. "But first, a final test in your mentality" Danzo opened the door and motioned Kurama to enter first.

Stepping into the poorly lighted room, Kurama was hit by the sound of panting. He turned to the sound of clambering as a scarred naked woman crawled to him and latched herself onto his leg. Unfazed by his lack of emotions, Kurama glanced down at the woman before back at Danzo. "What is the test, sir?" he ignored the woman, who began humping his leg.

"Do you not recognise her, Kurama?" Danzo clicked a switch, increasing the brightness of the room. "A shame… looks like he doesn't recognise you, Kushina" he mocked.

Kurama stared down at the woman, noticing the red hair and fox tail. However, everything else looked very different. Once smooth cream skin, was now burned, cut and full of rashes. Her eyes had paled like the clouds, showing blindness. None of her original beauty remained. "Nawarcho" Kurama froze as he could see the lack of her tongue. He shoved her back in shock, knocking her on her back.

"Kurama, discard Kushina, your mother, your past behind" Danzo tapped his cane. "Cut down Naruto, and become the root of Kurama, once and for all" he held out his hand, in his palm was a plain handgun.

Grabbing the handgun, Kurama pointed the gun directly against her forehead. "Nawarcho…" Kushina mumbled out, causing his hand to twitch. It didn't stop his finger however, as he clicked the trigger, the shot piercing her head. Kushina collapsed backwards, her hair dying a new shade of red.

Kurama felt his hand shaking as his pupils dilated while he lowered the gun to his side. "Naruto~" Kurama twitched as her voiced echoed inside his head. "Naruto, my boy" Minato's voice echoed as well. "Naru-Chan" he froze at Kushina's joking voice.

"Perfect, little emotional reaction… you will make the perfect soldier" Danzo bragged, not noticing the tenseness growing in Kurama. "Come Kurama, there is much to discuss".

"I am Naruto…" Kurama mumbled.

"What did you say?" Danzo ordered.

Before the old man could react, Kurama shifted the gun to Danzo's face. "I. AM. NARUTO" he open fired on the man's face. Unlike Kushina, Danzo managed to protect himself a couple of times using aura but the bullets quickly found their way into his head. Emptying the clip, Naruto tossed the gun to the side and unsheathed his combat knife. Jumping on the man's body, he jammed the knife into Danzo's chest multiple times, blood splattering all over both of them. Naruto fell back, clutching his head to block out the noise of the silent room.

Naruto stepped out into the corridor with the only sound being his own breathing. Blood soaked his frame as blood dripped from his stained combat knife. Slowly cranking his head right and left, glancing at the emptiness. He turned left and shifted his feet, the grip on the knife always held tight.

"Kurama!" a high pitched, resounding voice came towards him. Naruto stopped walking silently as a root member with smooth blonde hair walked towards him. "Flower, reporting in… has the mission Lord Danzo set been completed" Naruto stepped closer to her, wordlessly. Flower stared unwavering with her training, proving to be her downfall as Naruto swung his hand just short of her. She grabbed her neck as her windpipe was halved by the knife in his hand. Flower stumbled, falling on her back as Naruto walked to her. Naruto stared down coldly before raising his foot and stomping on her head, repeating the process as the crunches vibrated in his ears.

Naruto stepped back from the head crushed corpse and continued walking. 'Death… Destruction… Dominate' his eyes glowed redder. Naruto let a low growl rumble from his throat as the three words repeated in his head.

"Stop him!" Naruto twitched at the voice. "Lavender, bring reinforcements" the blond turned to see three root members his age stopped in front of him. "Knight, stop him in his tracks"

"Shadow Paralysis" Knight monotoned as his shadow extended forward. Naruto glanced down, just watching as the shadow connected to his while he pointed to Lavender. "I got him, Butterfly, crush him".

"Mind Transfer" Naruto mumbled before his head slumped.

"Watch out, Kurama has copied Flower's semblance… urk!" Knight assessed before Lavender punched him across the face.

"Knight!" Butterfly's fist grew in size but Lavender charged at him quickly. Her gloved fists began glowing blue dust as she struck at him consecutively with her palms. Lavender continued striking until she counted to 128, by then Butterfly's body was bruised and bloody with likely internal bleeding.

Naruto's eyes sprung open wide as he lost control over Lavender but regained his own body again. He shifted his gaze to them again as Lavender turned her gaze to him. Knight never seemed to notice as his shadow reached hers. "Wait!" Lavender ordered but the shadows crawled up her body, restraining her. "Not… under… control…" Knight turned his head to Naruto, only to instead see a knife piercing him. Lavender fell to her knees after the shadows disappeared but before she knew it, her vision turned dark as well.

"Inu, order all forces to stand down" Orochimaru chuckled.

"Sir?"

"There is no point wasting more root trying to stop one troublesome child, open the doors to the exit and allow him to leave" he smirked.

"As you wish"

"I can't wait to see how you grow, Kuruma… Naruto Uzumaki, Ku, Ku, Ku" Orochimaru grinned as he watched to blond shamble through the corridors.
