Hey Guys and Girls here is a new ongoing story that takes place at the end of original Naruto series. The Plot quite simple..after retrieving Sasuke from their fight at the valley of the end Naruto come back home to angry Sakura with a blow to the head the original Dumb but lovable Naruto is gone in his place well.....even he doesn't know...
The Main pairing? I haven't a clue....right now
He screwed up....even though he succeeded with his promise to bring his teammate back but at the cost of his health nearly, he laid in a Hospital Bed in Konoha general, thinking back to the valley of the end. The last blow, Chidori vs Rasegan under the waterfall if it wasn't for the fact the Mayuri, The Nine-tailed Fox yelling at him to change course at the last minute Sasuke...he didn't want to think about what could've have happened. It was all a moot point they survived regardless, Sasuke just had a nice deep spiral scar but he'll survive and the village will continue to praise him as a hero and most likely blame him for hurting the precious Uchiha. Closing his eyes for a moment he tries to rest when the door opens and he sees Sakura walk in with Kakashi right behind her...
"Hey Guys" Naruto said as he opens his eyes
"How are you Naruto?" Kakashi asked his student as they both turned to Sakura to see her looking at the window
"Hey Sakura how is Sasuke?" Naruto asked as he looked at her only to be met with an Icy cold glare
"Why do you care?" she said with an Ice cold demeanor that matched her eyes
"What do you mean? Is he okay?" he asked again
"You nearly killed him Naruto, what were you thinking" she asked as she looked at him
"I was thinking I had to bring him back, he used the Chidori on me, If I had not used the Rasengan he would have killed me" he said as she walked over
"BAKA! Don't lie to me" she said as Tsunade came into the room right when Sakura punched him in the head, only to see Naruto eyes go blank and keel over
"I know you did it on purpose, I know you wanted Sasuke out of the way so maybe I would forget about" she said as Kakashi cut her off
"That's enough Sakura" he said in a commanding voice as she huffed and looked out the window, slowly looking back at Naruto. Noticing he wasn't moving
"Wake up gaki she's not gonna hit you anymore" Tsunade said as she looked at Naruto and saw he wasn't moving, grabbing his head she sees his eyes glazed over with a far off look on his face "Naruto!" she said, no response she said it again, still no response until he blinked and looked at Tsunade "Don't scare me like that Naruto" she said as he looked at her for a moment as if he didn't recognize her
"Naruto? Who's that" he said, not in his normal hyperactive tone of voice but his normal not so loud voice, Noticing the change Sakura looks at him again
"Drop the act BAKA, quit playing around" she said as she was still mad at him for what he did to Sasuke when he looked at her with those same I don't know you eyes
"First it's Naruto then it's BAKA, I don't know if it's my nickname or what but I don't recognize either one of those" he said in the same tone of voice, when it finally sunk in Tsunade feared the worst
"Do you know who I am?" she asked Naruto to which he shook his head at her then she pointed at Kakashi "What about him?" once again receiving a no from Naruto but when she got to Sakura she walked back over to Naruto with her fist cocked back with the intention of hitting him again
"I can jog his memory" she said as reamed back, Naruto looked at her and saw her fist and his mind flashed Danger as he hopped out of bed, darted straight for the corner, curled into a ball and yelled "DON'T HURT ME, DON'T HURT ME, I'M SORRY I'LL BE GOOD PLEASE DON'T HURT ME" he repeated it a number of times as Kakashi was reminded all those times when a mob of stupid villagers when after Naruto for what the Kyuubi did to their loved ones
"Sakura leave" Kakashi said as he walked towards Naruto when Sakura cut in with
"Oh please the BAKA is just-"
"Sakura Haruno outside now" Tsunade said as Sakura grumbled while she left the room, Tsunade then turned to Kakashi and Naruto
"Naruto, no one's gonna hurt you" Kakashi said as Naruto responded with
"I DON'T KNOW WHO NARUTO IS ALRIGHT?" still curled in the corner as Tsunade came next to Kakashi
"Do you know your name?" she asked to which he shook his head but then answered with
"I guess it's Naruto since that's what you guys been calling me all this time, but I'm not sure" she said as he uncurled a little bit
It's just as I thought, little Ms. Fan girl's blow to the head, caused enough trauma to cause amnesia since his head was still kinda soft from his mission Tsunade thought as she looked at his eyes as he connected with hers "Naruto can you get back on the bed for me please" she asked as he looked at her, nodding his head he gets back into the bed still a little apprehensive as she speaks again "Naruto, My name is Tsunade"
Naruto nodded as Kakashi looked at him "And I'm Kakashi" he said with a eye smile to which Naruto relaxed a little bit before asking
"Are you guys..." he swallowed whatever was in his throat "gonna hurt me" he asked as they both slightly tensed up as he asked that question
"No no of course not Naruto, we're here to help so relax for me okay?" Tsunade said with a warm motherly tone of voice to which he nodded his head and laid down on the bed
I don't know why but I feel like I know her, she feels like a mom to me or something Naruto thought as he laid on the bed looking up at the ceiling
"Me and Kakashi are going to step outside for a minute okay Naruto?" Tsunade said as Naruto nodded his head while they started to leave the room
"What's going on with Naruto Lady Tsunade?" Kakashi asked as he and the Hokage left the room only to see Sakura standing across the room
"Your Genin's blow to the head has caused as near as I can tell a case of acute blunt force trauma to the head, causing a case of amnesia" she responded while looking at Sakura, causing her look of utter unbelievability to change to shock and guilt
"I didn't even hit him that hard" she said to herself as the other caught it
"Normally it wouldn't have a been a problem if wasn't dropped on his head from the top of the valley in a piledriver position by Uchiha" she responded to Sakura which made her eyes go wide and blurt out in defense of Sasuke
"He wouldn't do that!" Sakura covered her mouth after being able to catch it leaving her mouth when her Sensei and The Hokage both looked at her
"Sakura!" Kakashi scolded as he's never seen her act like this before, never so delusional about Sasuke but then again he was guilty of that too to a certain degree
"Too bad for you that I have his x-rays to back it up Sakura, you have no idea what you've just done" Tsunade said with anger and a little bit of KI dripping from her as she spoke but calmed down as she went back in his room, only to notice he had drifted off to sleep
-_Seal Realm_-
Mayuri looked out into the fields of her realm, looking for Naruto as she knew he was here and that his memories are not here but the realm of his mind and seal was still intact so a part of him was here
"Naruto?" she called out as she began to walk around the peaceful valley that was his mind until she saw him, resting under a tree. Noticing thisshe looks towards the sky and then at Naruto before she takes his hand and concentrates her chakra on him
-Real World-
The Red chakra absorbed him as Tsunade came back into the room to check on Naruto, immediately upon seeing it she stiffens when she sees Naruto sits up and looks at her but not with those blue pools but the red slitted ones she heard about, getting into a defensive stance she readies herself for anything, anything but this...
"Relax Tsunade, I'm not here to make a repeat of what happened all those years ago, although I should but I'm not" the feminine voice that came out of Naruto said
"Ky-Kyuubi?!?" Tsunade said as she was caught off guard by the voice coming out of the boy
"Yes.....and before you ask no I couldn't do this before this is only possible because of that pink haired excuse of a kunoichi's blow to the head" she said with a little of anger in her voice at the end
"I have to agree with you with that last part of the statement, now what can you tell me about Naruto's state of mind in there?" Tsunade asked, seeing how this would be the best opportunity to get some insight from inside his body
"His memories are gone" she said simply to which Tsunade sadly shook her head "So there's no way to jump start him?" Tsunade asked
"None that I can see but his mind scape is intact, which gives us some hope" Mayuri said as Tsunade gave her an eyebrow raise for her trouble
"How so?"
"I can't access his memories at all but that seems to be the conscious mind's doing as his subconscious is still intact which would be the reason why his mind scape is still the way it is"
Mayuri seemed to paused for a mind while thinking something over before speaking again
"but maybe we can use this opportunity to do things the right way for him, before this happened I was trying to get him open up a little bit to me, of course with what he was told he naturally skeptical of me and he always kept me at arms length. Understand Tsunade I feel horrible for what he went through, going through, so maybe Lady Hokage we can right what has been wronged" she finished while looking at Tsunade for a reaction
"What do you mean we?" she said while keeping the same eyebrow raised
"I mean me for being the reason all those years for his anguish and turmoil and you for abandoning your kit because of the deception and lies of this Kami forsaken village" she said while looking Tsunade right in her eyes to which the Lady Hokage's eyes seemed to widen slightly then sharpen at Kyuubi
"How did you know?" Tsunade asked to which Kyuubi merely answered
"You scent, I can smell him on you and don't say it's because you been around him all this time. The scent I can smell off of you is that of a birth mother, the scent I had........" she trailed off as she looked away to which Tsunade noted in her mind to investigate further about the Kyuubi attack on Konoha before she began to speak again
"Kami knows I should have come back sooner I should have fought for him but there's nothing I can do about that know" she started only to be cut off by Kyuubi
"You can start again, we both can. I will begin to to let Naruto know something about his life, maybe with that we can establish new memories for him, I will tell him about you so be prepared Tsunade for your kit to awaken" she said as she laid Naruto's head down as Tsunade walked over
"Thank you Kyuubi-san" she said as the tears came down softly as she saw the red chakra fade back into her son's body, overcome with happiness at the fox's idea she almost forgot why she came in here, preforming the hand signs for the Diagnostic Jutsu her hands began to glow with an eerie green as she walked over to her son, holding his head with both hands she sees that he hand is still undamaged but something was odd, one of his blood vessel was larger, but not mutated just bigger as if a obstruction had been cleared. Opening his eyes she looked at Naruto for a moment before canceling the Jutsu and calling over a nurse
"Hai Hokage-sama?" the nurse said as she came into the room, noticing the room she was in she merely smiled a little bit, not everyone hated Naruto in the village, some understood the difference between prison and prisoner and saw to it that he was treated well for his sacrifice
"Can you bring me Naruto Uzumaki's file from the records" she ordered softly as the nurse stopped then turned back around
"Which part of the file?" she said timidly as she noticed the questioning look on the Hokage's face "He has a file with all recorded injuries from the civilian mob attacks or his pre and post mission physicals" she concluded noticing the look of disgust and righteous anger on her Hokage's face
"The Mission Physicals please" Tsunade said as she was shocked that there was a file for those attacks, which also set in the fact that she had much to atone for, letting the council deceive her was something she'd never let go of and now she had even more venom to shoot at those bastards for what did to her family. The nurse swiftly returned with the file in her hands, giving the lady Hokage the file of his last couple of physicals before and after the missions...
-_Seal Realm_-
Mayuri looked at Naruto as he continued to rest for a moment taking in his appearance she smiled a little, he was wearing what would be considered the male equivalent of her clothing, which consisted of a deep crimson Kimono with a lighter if not considered ghostly lighter red image of the her true form at the bottom which looked to be in the crouching/predatory position with a black sash to hold it in place and a black over coat with a similar red fox at the bottom. Mayuri's version is a little more scantily clad that his since she didn't have the overcoat nor the mesh undershirt and the area in which her generous bust supposed to be covered was open way more that it should be but she rationed since Naruto would be the only one who would see it and she honestly didn't mind in the first place she had no problem with it.
Naruto groaned awake as he looked around he noticed he wasn't in the hospital anymore he noticed that he was outside in a field, looking back he didn't see any buildings anywhere so he scanned the area until he saw this beautiful girl looking at him, she looked worried like the other lady in the hospital but unlike the lady in the hospital she remained quiet as she looked at him it took a couple of moments before he had the decency to blush from her gaze before looking away
"Ano.....Ms....where am I?" he asked as he continued to look away from her at the grass which for some reason is very entertaining at the moment
"You're inside your head Naru-kun" she said simply as she observed him while wondering why he came looking this way, she didn't wonder why he blushed she knew she was a good looking female even in her true nine-tailed fox form she was quite attractive for fox standards.
"Ah that would explain the change of scenery" he didn't know why but for some reason he knew what she said to be true it was something about it that felt correct.
"I'm Mayuri by the way...." she said the first part easily but when she reached the next thing to say she couldn't get it out until Naruto blurted out the rest
"...The Kyuubi no Kitsune, the apparent ruiner of lives and what not yes?" he said as he was shocked himself as the words flowed out of him easily, even though a moment ago the words nor the thoughts were not even there, Mayuri looked down and sadly as she slowly nodded her head
"Hai.....I am the Kyuubi, Queen of Bijuu and Hai the ruiner of lives..." she sounded defeated as she spoke the words she had hoped that she could ease into this but it seems his mind was already fixing his mind faster than she hoped it would.
"Ano...Mayuri-chan? I have no still have no real memories, the only reason I knew who you were was the fact that it came to me as you stopped talked like a fill in the blank question" he said as he proved his point by filling in what she was thinking, giving her hope to achieve her plan. It was easier in here than it was in the real world since there was no one trying to hit him over the head or yelling at him not only that but the answer to the questions were easier to get.
Mayuri on the other hand was curious as the event unfolded, first his appearance upon arrival is anything but what he was wearing in the hospital bed, in fact if she had to guess it was very compatible to what she was wearing, one could jump to conclusion that they husband and wife. The thought of them standing side by side for a clan photo made her smile, sure she was a thousands year old fox demon and he was merely a teenager but that didn't matter to her as far as mate selections go Naruto had everything a female of any race should be looking for in a mate, if not for the village's foolish treatment of the boy he would be just as beloved as that Uchiha boy as far as girl and women seeking his attention.
That aside she continued to look at the fact in the real world he couldn't answer much but in here he could fire off answers to question easily even if he didn't know the answer, which she contributed to the subconscious mind working it's "back up files" so to speak, into his conscious mind. But if that was the case then why did his appearance change in here? She started to consider that maybe his minds were fighting on some things, maybe subconsciously he wanted to embrace Mayuri and not keep her at arms length, she knew for a fact that the boy was smarter than he let on, she had laid dormant in the sewer that was his mind over the years and sifted through his memories for fun when she did awaken, finding numerous of passages of ninjutsu theory and practice as well as several scrolls of techniques of stealth and even genjutsu scrolls that he perused at the library on the days he could get in and read a little before the librarian kicked him out. Seeing that he was still looking at her she decided to get a better picture on what exactly was going on with him.
"Naru-kun do you know how I got...." she let the question hang as it seemed to be the way to get him to answer questions, Mayuri looked closer now to see how the thought process was occurring
Naruto seemed to think for a moment before his mouth began to work almost on his own as his mind seemed to catch up to it "You were sealed in here by the 4th Hokage, my father, to save Konoha from your wrath for killing your kits" he said as his mind finally caught his words in the relay race they seemed to be playing with his memories.
Seeing the process with a critical eye she figured his subconscious mind was using his mouth to recall the memory and spew it out as to fill the void of the question lingering as his mind catches up "Ah that is good you know but how do you feel about it?" she decided to get an answer directly from Naruto as to see how his mind reacts to this.
Naruto thinks about it for a moment before he answers "I'm fine with it, I mean you were trying to find your family's murderer, any sane being would do the same May-chan" he said simply as he decided to get up and look around more throughly.
Naruto looked around and noticed this place in his head was serene, was it because he lost his memory or was it something else? Could it have been he remodeled the place after talking to May-chan for so long? Wait where did that come from? He thought as he noticed that he recalled a memory without the blank to fill in left by May-chan. He continued to look around at the forest and noticed the riverbank and then the house suddenly he felt his hand being grabbed and him being pulled when he looked and saw Mayuri pulling him towards the house
The home itself wasn't a mansion by any means but it had everything she needed to fake some semblance of a life, a bed, bathroom, a kitchen and a study complete with desk with plenty of paper and ink to write. They sat down at the table, with her on the opposite side leering at him but not in a seductive way but more in a curious way "So as far as I can tell your mind is rebuilding itself Naru-kun, slowly but surely all your memories will be back but I'm hoping not all of them" she said as she looked at him for a response.
"Well that's.....kinda good, but it seems to ruin your plans May-chan" he responded as she just noticed the nickname they both were using, she smiled at the fact that he gave her a nickname and he didn't mind Naru-kun. She waved his statement off before she spoke again "It's ok I just wanted to maybe help you better than just healing wounds, I offered this before but I guess you weren't too trusting seeing you were going off of the stupid villagers and what everyone else said about me instead of trusting me" she said rather sadly
"I guess I don't have a problem helping since it doesn't seem like many people do want to help me save only a couple of handfuls of people, so I accept your help May-chan as long as it doesn't hurt anyone in the process" he said with a grin, not the trademarked foxy grin he's known for but a shadow of it which made smile with her own version of the foxy grin "Well that's good for us then it'll make things for us easier since it's me and you against the world" she said with the same grin, noticing his grin hasn't left yet which is good to see on his face.
This was the start of something beautiful.....and deadly...
O.o To Be Continued o.O
That's right.....Kushina who? yea....and before you ask yes Minato knocked boots with our busty Sannin....but we'll get to that next time
