Time of Bane

Chapter 1

Time of Bane

Summary: Naruto made a chance discovery as young child, rising to become a powerful and respected figure… one who would be known throughout the lands, he would become a bane to all who opposed him, becoming a legend.

Helltanz's notes: Yeah I need to turn off my story generator in my mind, eh whatever, here's my Magical Naruto story, unlike most magical Naruto stories that I have encountered, course the last one I read was a year and a half ago at least, Naruto will still use Ninja abilities.

Naruto has a bloodline, you should be able to figure it out I use it in almost all my stories, do not expect him to use though, I am just telling you, though the speech should pretty much hint of its existence, also Kakashi and Naruto aren't on good terms, so this might evolve into bashing of Kakashi, Sakura, and Sasuke.

In that regards I think the only story I have planned is March of Strife that doesn't seriously rip Sasuke a new one every few paragraphs.

EDIT: May 25, 2009 under rewrite

Chapter begin

Hi no Kuni, Konohagakure no Sato

Uzumaki Naruto was not your average child.

No: indeed most certainly not, most children did not have a nine tail fox that was several stories' high sealed in the navel of their belly. Nor were many children supposed to be regarded as the savior of the village hidden in the Leaves, Fire Country's premiere ninja village.

Admittedly this wish was ignored by most individuals, though no beatings had occurred, well not for a while, the last person to try had been received by his only family, a pet parakeet, in plastic bag filled with the man's ashes. Mainly this was because the boy had become strangely elusive after his fourth birthday.

Some had hypothesized, these were the same who were instantly laughed at if they brought it up or carted off to the mental ward, that without Naruto's calming influence Itachi had massacred the Uchiha clan, or some other ridiculous notion.

Mizuki sneered. 'This was to easy.' The traitorous chunin had just stolen the infamous scroll of forbidden jutsu. 'Oh shit.' The chunin slid to a halt. 'An ANBU black ops returning from a mission, maybe.' Wondered the chunin. Surveying the approaching figure. 'Hmm, maybe not.' Thought Mizuki noting the lack of ANBU mask. 'Of course the guy does have a katana strapped to his back, so he could have just taken the mask off, maybe the things didn't breathe well.' Pondered Mizuki concerning the chances of such and encounter.

Naruto noticed an approaching figure, running away from the village seemed more likely, at least to Naruto's mind. Deciding the village's problem did not concern him at the moment, meaning the man was not his enemy unless the person chose to make that decision.

Naruto leaped to the next tree proceeding to his destination, his home outside the walls of the Village of the leaves.

Mizuki realized he had been spotted and somebody was coming from behind, but if this was an off duty ANBU, he wouldn't stand a chance, and well he couldn't afford to be delayed either. 'I need to come up with a plan.'

Unfortunately it was too late as Umino Iruka had already arrived, and was blocking Mizuki's intended escape route.

'Shit'

The other academy instructor really didn't look happy to see his coworker, pissed might have been an apt description. "Stop right there Mizuki hand over the forbidden scroll you traitor."
Mizuki growled unleashing his Fuuma Shuriken. Iruka managed to evade in time, however the Shuriken headed right for the approaching figure.

Naruto glanced unconcerned at the incoming blade; raising his hand he caught the blade in the exact method he had been instructed. Naruto sniffed disapprovingly such large Shuriken weren't practical. Naruto vanished increasing his speed from leisurely pace to anti jonin level attack.

The arts of the ninja were something he had of course received education in, though the tutoring had come from two different sources. Personally the arts of combat were useful but they did have their flaws.

Mizuki muttered a quiet: "Shit." Watching the approaching figure vanish in a blur and begin his approach. The traitorous chunin's face twisted into a grimace as tried to figure out what to do.

Iruka wondered what Mizuki was concerned, in response the dry leaves of the forest floor crunched igniting into a hellish firestorm.

On a branch stood, one Iruka to assumed was a fellow ninja, Naruto. The blond glanced at the two chunin.

Mizuki panicked hurling his remaining large Shuriken at the stoic blonde staring down at the two.

Naruto raised his hand and with a thought counterattacked. A blast of white fire erupted from his palm. The flare missile spell, upper journeyman level fire element easily melted the cheap steel of the shuriken.

His techniques were different than ninjutsu, and both ultimately held their own advantages and ultimately in a fight it mattered who was stronger.

"Hmm, weakling." Naruto made a gesture and Mizuki was blasted backwards hitting the back of his skull on a tree, sending the traitor into a blissful state of unconsciousness.

Hi no Kuni, Konohagakure no Sato, Hokage Tower, office of the Hokage, the following morning

Officially in the bingo books, mainly Rock, and Mist village, Uzumaki Naruto, not that his name was listed, more promentintly known simply as the Goryo was labeled as an S class ninja Hijutsu and Kinjutsu specialist.

It was suspected to wield multiple summoning contracts, actually Naruto did not have a summoning contract at all, nor had he signed a summoning contract, but he did now how to summon creatures none the less.

Also listed was that he was not aligned, or atleast known to be aligned, with any major ninja village, or any one else for that matter, at least in a permanent fashion. All the information was rather vague some said he was a ghost, or a demon, a remant of a long dead Shinobi from the great wars. Descriptions varied in every tale as did the origins of this strange person.

The one thing that was known to hold true that he was a rival to Kages. Of course truth be told the current ninja village Kages were, while powerful there were jonin capable of defeating them.

Only the leaders of Fire and Lighting countries premier ninja villages truly deserved the infamous rank Kage, and even then the Hokage of Fire country's Premier ninja village was getting on in years.

As it stood the information recorded in the bingo books of the countries were for the most part incorrect, at least in regard to some information. Like that stupid piece in Mists bingo book that said he was part of some insect user clan, or Rock's implications of him holding the contract of Carrion Birds.

The aging Sarutobi clan head and the leader of the strongest of the five hidden villages greeted the blond as he entered his office.

"You summoned me Hokage-sama." Uzumaki Naruto was tall for his age comparable to Uchiha Itachi's height at his age and his techniques of course were known for their odd effects on the body.

Sarutobi nodded, "Yes thank you for coming my boy," It really did bother the old man to call on the fourth's legacy like this but there really wasn't much choice. "I am sure you were looking forward to staying in your own residence for a few days. However as you know the accademy graduation exams recently occurred, and after that event the scroll of forbidden jutsus was stolen, I believe you are familiar with it?"

"I have glanced over it Hokage-sama."

"Yes senior Chunin Iruka, one of the accademy instructors, identified you as the one who defeated Mizuki the one who recently stole the scroll of Forbiden jutsus from this tower. Is this correct?"

A senior chunin was the highest quality of Chunin and one who had served for a number of years, it varied by village, and generally were more powerful then regular chunin who made up the standing forces of shinobi villages or fresh chunin.
Naruto nodded. "I responded in self defense to an attack by one of this 'Mizuki's' Fuuma Shuriken." Shuriken were cheap disposable weapons employed by ninja or at least that was what they were meant as, typically they were made of cheap low quality steel.

"Yes Naruto I am sure your actions were quite justified. Mizuki was aprehended with nothing but a minor concusion."
The blond shrugged he really didn't think killing Mizuki would have been good for his relations with the village he lived next to, "I believed this was a shinobi matter of the Leaf village so I chose to forego a lethal blow." Acknowledged Naruto.

"Yes," Responded the aging village leader reasurringly. "Naruto your actions are not in question I am merely confirming the situation of last night."

He nodded, confirming the events of last night was a sound move in regards to the security of the village, "I understand this."
"This most recent graduating class is what concerns me."

Naruto produced a small paper fan waving it lightly rather than vocalizing his point it wouldn't do for some one to be listening in.

"Yes, young Sasuke, it is for this reason and others indeed, I would ask that you lend your strength to the village of the leaf."

A brief moment passed where Naruto's eyes darkened, "I have no experience teaching Hokage-sama, however my blade is yours, your enemies are my enemies, those who oppose you will know hell's embrace." Stated the blond, after all he did greatly appreciate the Sandaime.

"Uh, thank you Naruto." Stated the sandaime, it was most unlike the blond to make such a declaration.

Naruto's face had remained impassive at the hokage's somewhat surprised response, as it had been for several years now. It was of course the hokage Naruto appreciated not the village, but the village was who Naruto was on 'bad terms' with.

The Hokage was still somewhat depressed over the cause of change but it was in the past and nothing could change it. "Thank you from coming, Naruto, you are correct Young Sasuke is a pressing matter," Stated Sarutobi confirming what Naruto already supsected was the case. "the civilian council is highly adamant he receive, that he be trained, in this matter they quite forceful about assigning Hatake Kakashi, the copy ninja, to train the last Uchiha scion loyal to the leaf village."

"He has never passesd a team," Naruto remarked, of course the Hokage already knew this piece of information. "though this aside the reason for his selection is that he is the only Konoha Shinobi who wields a sharignan eye."

"Yes however it is likely that Kakashi will focus on Uchiha Sasuke more so than the boy's other team mates, something the council would I am afraid would approve of, as such actions would favor Sasuke. His teamates are Haruno Sakura she graduated with top marks, however she lacking in practical skills."

"As you say and the other."
"Another from a civilain family Tojo Aida, he excels at taijutsu, however his chakra reserves are not as substantial as young Sasuke, they are superior to the almost nonexistent reserve of young Haruno Sakura." Sarutobi commented, "While I believe Tojo may make a perhaps useful shinobi he and his teamates do not seem likely to particpate well together. I fear it is a diaster in the making."

"Hmm, you are likely correct Hokage-sama." Naruto stated accepting the dossiers from the accademy that the aging village leader had passed over.
"It is also likely the council will push for Kakashi's new team, as it is very likely they will be passed regardless of whether they deserve it, to be given additional privliges, though I doubt most will be little more than a C rank mission, it would still pose a risk he being as you said the last remaining Konoha Uchiha."

"Your bird knows the location of my home, should you require my assistance do not hesitate to ask." Naruto vanished in flash of light.

Hi no Kuni, Konohagakure no Sato, The Tower of Harbinger

The building known as 'The Tower of Harbinger' was something of an urban legend, it was invisible the majority of the time, it had earned its name when it had appeared when the Kyubi had been on the war path, and then vanished.

In truth it wasn't actually a tower but rather a buried structure that only the central spire peirced still into the air, the structure was intact, completely preserved.

The structure was not accesible from underground, well not safely accesible, powerful defense protected the structure from would be intruders.

Amongst the more tangible defenses were metal automatons, similar yet much more sophisticated, and indeed capable of carrying out orders on their own, than the puppets utilisized by Sunagakure's ninja.

This was the residence of Uzumaki Naruto, he resided in in the central spire. The spire's corridors were decorated with many weapons, swords, spears, bows, amongst many others, indeed as well were many books and scrolls detailing varying powers and techniques, and the powerful spells Naruto often made use of, though these objects were nothing incomparision to those found with in the library, armory, or Naruto's personal bedchamber.

Naruto examined the tome, indeed it would appear his suspicion had been indeed correct certain Ninjutsu were based off magic or at least developed along side one another, the school of Illusion and Genjutsu were very much similar, and most Ninjusu were either alteration or destruction inspired, though summoning of the ninja arts could be equated to some degeneration of the school of conjuration, the whole issue had been brought up by the use of a lightning jutsu the blond had encountered on his return home, which was almost identical to one of Naruto's journeyman level School of Destruction Lightning oriented spells.

Unfortunately magic had its flaws just like ninjutsu, ninjutsu of course being slightly easier to learn so long as you had access to Chakra, magic on the other hand required patently larger reserves.

Naruto turned to his next task continuing the restoration of the city, the process was slow mainly due to the intermittent, at best, prescence of the structure's new master.

As it was unlikely the team of Kakashi would particpate in anything warranting the precence of the blond, Naruto foresaw the next week would be extremely tedious as he busied himself to repair the structure.

Chapter conclusion

Helltanz's notes: Yeah, I have this habit of not going over boring details like training, as you note in most my stories, the only one I would have perhaps had the patience to write the events before the main stories beginning would have been I will Strive or the I will Strive AU March of Strife. But anyway that was chapter 1, on the matter of I will Strive it will differ from canon after the Tsunade retrieval arc ends, though it is certain things will be quite different from canon in this story besides Naruto and the other Konoha ninja, ah you'll see. Anyway comments?

Helltanz's suggested read: I urge everyone to read Till Eternity's End by the-Silent-Muse.
