Chapter 1: Me Liiiiiike
Cl-ick…BANGBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
"HOLY SHIT! When you said it would make a BANG, you could have been a little more specific, Kyuubi!"
"Sorry, kit. I didn't think it would be this loud or destructive"
Naruto Uzumaki was currently standing inside one of Konoha's deadliest training grounds.
Training Ground #44 A.K.A. The Forest of Death.
The reason he was there was quite simple really. His pathetic excuse of a sensei had yet to teach him anything since the Mission to Wave, so he had taken it upon himself to find out what weapon would suit him best. Oh, and something that Jutsu-leaching parasite of a brother couldn't copy. Kami, how he hated that prick. It's not like he had anything against the Sharingan. Oh no, no, no. In fact, he knew this cute, if somewhat stoic Uchiha girl who had these lines going down her face. She was fiiiine in his book( YAY FEMITACHI :3) It was rather, how the teme strutted around thinking he was above everyone, all because he had a severe case of pink-eye. And if the fact that he had activated it during their mission wasn't enough, that vile pink-haired banshee was practically kissing the ground he walked on, that stupid, annoying, loud, idiotic, complete waste of a life who consta-
"Calm yourself kit, you don't want to lose control in a place like this. The Hokage is always watching you, and if he sees the slightest loss of control, who knows what he will try to do."
"You're right. Thanks, Kyuubi-sensei. I really appreciate all the work you've put in to help me, I just wish there was some way I could repay you."
Naruto remembered the first time he had met Kyuubi. It was one of the worst, and weirdly best memories of his life.
Flashback no Jutsu!
"Shit, Shit, Shit! I gotta get away from these crazy villagers. If they catch me today, I'll be royally screwed!"
Naruto was running. Running for his life. What was he running from? Why, the very VILLAGE he lived in. He didn't know why, even though he had asked the old man millions of times, almost as many as who his parents were. But the old man would always give him a sympathetic look, say that it was just their stupidity and ignorance (which he didn't really understand, considering he was quite young at the time). Every time, every SINGLE time, the old man would than distract Naruto with questions of how his life was going so far, which, now that he looked back on it, was almost always crappy. It was always like this on October tenth. And you want to know what really cinched it? The very DAY that the villagers chased after him was his BIRTHDAY! Oh, the irony! Anyway, he had no idea why they were chasing him, and he really was starting to get scared, because most of the villagers chasing him look mighty intoxicated, meaning they were not going to be able to stop before they did anything drastic. The fact they were drunk was really the only reason a seven-year old was able to outrun them in the first place. He could almost tell that, if they got hold of him tonight, he might not be waking up in the morning, or a couple days later, like usual. So he ran. He was lucky. Unlike the dense villagers who had a warm, comfy house to go back to at the end of the day, Naruto had nothing but the clothes on his back. So, due to the fact that he literally lived on the streets of Konoha, he knew the village like the back of his hand. So he knew that, as soon as more villagers came at him from the opposite direction, the only place to go would be the alley between the convenience store and restaurant, so that were he ran. Suddenly, as he was running towards the light at the other end of the alleyway, a wall made of earth some five-foot thick rose out of the ground, cutting of his escape.
"Awwwwwwwwww... fuck my life!" Naruto knew what that meant. The wall that just rose above him was none other than a Doton Doryuuheki(Earth Rising Wall), which meant that there were ninja in the mob, and he definitely could not outrun ninja.
Almost immediately, they were upon him, screaming insults, beating him with sticks, brooms, and poles, stabbing him with instruments that ranged from the common kitchen knife to specialized ninja tools like kunai. All the while they were yelling at him at the top of their voices, screaming stuff that he didn't really understand.
"Die you damn demon!"
"This is for my family, you bastard!"
"You like this, huh? This is how I felt when you attacked!"
"You pathetic piece of demon trash! Die!"
"I hate you!"
"Die!"
"Die!"
"DIE!"
Why? Why did they all hate him? He never did anything that warranted this. Sure he pulled the occasional prank, but it was only on those who deserved it. Also, he was pretty sure he had never killed anyone. so why did they always blame him as though he was the cause of the deaths of their loved ones? I wasn't fair! He could feel himself fading out of consciousness, and, as always, the last thing he saw before he completely blacked out was the sneering faces of the villagers.

"Ugh…someone turn that damn tap off…my heads killlin' me…where am I?" Naruto looked around and noticed that eh was in a sewer and a pretty crappy sewer at that. He wondered what street the villagers dragged him down to come to this crappy place. The walls were crumbling as he watched, cracking and flaking at a ridiculous pace. Also, the pipes above seemed to have sprang more than just a leak. They were constantly dribbling in more than one area, and it was really starting to annoy him.
"Aw well, better start looking for a way out of this crappy sewer. Hmmmm, now that I think about, how DO you get out of a sewer?"
He didn't really have an idea where to go, so Naruto thought that a good idea would be to head towards that red glow. Exit sign glow read, right? So it wasn't that hard of a connection to make.
As he was walking through the sewer system, he could hear a faint…grumbling sound? At least, that was what it sounded like. He noticed that the glow was getting brighter. He was getting closer to the exit! Finally! It seemed like he had been walking for hours. And that grumbling sound seemed to be getting closer, and whatever was making that sound must have been huge, because it felt like it shook his entire being.
As Naruto turned around what he hoped was the last turn, he came face to face with…
"WHAT THE FUCK!"
…a giant cage.
"What the hell is Konoha hiding that we need a hundred foot cage hidden in our sewer system?" thought Naruto out loud.
"Konoha has nothing to hid in its sewer system, you baka!"
"HOLY SHIT! A TALKING CAGE! THE FUCK?"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…Umm, are you gonna talk some more mister ca-"
"I AM NOT A CAGE YOU IDIOT! BEHOLD MY ETERANAL GLORY! THE GLORY OF THE NINE-TAILED FOX!"
From inside the cave, a gigantic form seemed to take shape. Out of the darkness, the colossal outline of a fox with nine tails took shape, with to red, slitted, glowing embers where the eyes were located, and a seriously creepy grin, with teeth the size of Naruto's legs.
"FEAR ME, PUNY MORTAL!"
"N-No way…the Yondaime killed the Nine-Tailed Fox! You can't be here! What 's going on!" stuttered out Naruto, slowly backing away from the cage.
"RAAAAAAAWWWRRR! YOUR PATHETIC FATHER COULD NOT KILL ME! I AM ONE OF THE NINE, KAMI-SAMA'S ULTIMATE GUARDIANS. I AM IMMORTAL! WRAP YOUR PATHETIC BRAIN AROUND THAT! SINCE YOUR FATHER COULDN'T KILL ME, HE CHOSE THE NEXT BEST THING. HE SEALED ME INTO HIS OWN SON! YOU! YOU ARE THE SPAWN OF THE WRETCHED NINGEN THAT LOCKED ME INTO THIS ABYSMAL MIND! HONESLTY, WHO HAS THE MINDSET OF A SEWER? YOUR LIFE MUST BE PRETTY FUCKED! OH WAIT, IT IS. ANYWAY, I AM THE NINE-TAILED FOX, AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, YOU CAN ASK THAT SPINELESS PIECE OF TRASH YOU CALL YOUR HOKAGE!"
What? Naruto couldn't understand. He had the Nine-Tailed Fox sealed inside of him? The Yondaime was his father? This was all so confusing. Amidst all the questions and uncertainties that arose in Naruto's mind, there were two questions that had finally been answered. The two most important questions of his whole life. The Hokage had lied to him! He knew EXACTLY why he was hated in the village, and chances are he knew that the Fourth Hokage was his father! He would pay for this! There would be no escape for the old man once Naruto found him. He wanted to know exactly WHY he had decided to keep these two VERY important pieces of information to himself, and he better have some damn good reasons. Back to the matter at hand, that annoying(If terrifying) fox was still ranting about its awesomeness.
"-ND COMMANDER OF ALL FLAMES! BRINGER OF THE FINAL SLEEP! DEATH IN FOX FORM! KAMI-SAMA'S MOST TRUSTED SER-"
"Oi, fox! Shut your pie hole for a second would you! I'm trying to think here!" yelled Naruto.
"HAHAHAHAHA! THATS RICH! QITH ALL THE SURPRESSANT SEALS ON YOUR BODY, I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF YOU COULD ADD TWO AND TWO!" laughed out the fox.
"Suppressant seals? What are those?" Naruto questioned.
"YOU SEE THOSE TAGS LINING THE TWO WALLS UP TO THIS CAGE? THOSE ARE SUPRESSANT SEALS, YOU BAKA! AND UNLESS YOU TAKE THEM OFF, I WILL HAVE THE GREAT PLEASURE OF CALLIGN YOU BAKA FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BA-"
"Hey fox!" yelled Naruto as he was walking towards the wall. "Will-You-Shut-UP" he emphasized each word by ripping of a handful of seals. He didn't stop there, though. He continued to rip the seals off, and as he did, he could all but feel himself get smarter. Suddenly, he was able to make sense of things that escaped him before. As his intelligence grew, so did his anger, because, the smarter he got, the more unfair everything seemed. He could understand a lot more, so he understood how ridiculous the villagers were. If you seal your kunai in a scroll, as he had seen ninja store owners do (which suddenly seemed to make sense to him) do you then throw the scroll at enemy you encounter? No, because no matter how hard it might try, the scroll will never be more than just that. A scroll. He was pretty sure that the same basic principals applied here. In his anger, he failed to notice Kyuubi studying him rather intently.
"By the time I'm through with you, Naruto, you will make a fine host…among other things." thought Kyuubi as it unconsciously licked its lips.
Once Naruto had gotten all the seals of the wall, which took him longer than expected, because they seemed to be layers on top of layers of them, he had finally gotten most of the anger out of him. He turned around to face the Nine-Tailed Fox once more, but was caught off-guard when he saw it staring at him with scrutiny, and something else which he couldn't identify, but made him want to shiver for some reason. "Creepy," he thought. Never one to stay silent for to long, Naruto started to fire of questions at a rapid pace.
"Why is my mind a sewer? Do you have a different name? Why did you attack Konoha? How can this cage be holding you back (he finally noticed the slip of paper, though his new-found intelligence told that there was more to that slip of paper than met the eye)? Are you going to tr-"
"ENOUGH! I TIRE OF YOUR INCESSANT CHATTERING! WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT, AND IF YOUR LUCKY, I MIGHT DIVULGE TO YOU SOME OF THOSE ANSWERS, BUT FOR NOW, BEGONE!"
Out Naruto was launched from his mind, shocked back into consciousness, lying on a hospital bed, with the Sandiame giving him a look of deep pity.
(Flashback no Jutsu…KAI!)
He had had quite an enlightening conversation with the Hokage that day, and after that he was the proud owner of the Namikaze estates and Jutsu, although a most of the village was vehemently opposed to this. When the Hokage had made the announcement about his heritage, when he was 10, as planned, there was rioting, and general upheaval. Most of the village refused to believe that the demon spawn, the reincarnation of the Nine-Tailed Fox, was the son of their most beloved idol. But, after the Sandaime showed them a blood test, and told them to, "Pull your asses out of your heads and look at the goddamn mountain if you want more proof. He's like a chibi-Minato for Christ's sake, and if pathetic excuses for human beings can't see that, than it is a sad day Minato Namikaze chose to trust Konoha with his only living heir." It's not often that the Sandaime gets mad, but when he does, he almost always is correct from whatever point he stands. The villagers knew this, and most of them hung there heads in shame, for some of the acts they had committed against the boy were to horrible to speak of outside the T&I Department.
There were, of course, quite a few villagers who just refused to believe it, and they voiced their opinion.
"I refuse to believe that demonic spawn is the son of our beloved Yondaime-sama!" yelled one villager.
"How" he continued, "could that reincarnation of the Ni-gurghghgh…" the villagers throat was slit from somewhere among the crowd, and many looked to see the famed Sharingan Kakashi with his arm in the position one would find after they had just thrown, say, a kunai?
"You just broke the Thirds, law, and if I ever hear any of you disrespect Yondaime-sama's legacy again, I will KILL you!" 'Minato-sensei, I have failed you. I have ignored your son because of my own blind prejudices. I just hope Naruto will be able to forgive me.'
That was about a week ago, and ever since, Kakashi-sensei had been trying to make it up to Naruto, but he was having none of it. They had made their decisions, and it was too late to take back the damage they had inflicted upon Naruto when he was a child.
"Alright, that's enough reminiscing on past memories. I want you to continue to practice with you new weapon, but this time, do NOT add my chakra to the bullet, got it kit?"
"Understood, Kyuubi-sensei. How long do you think it will take me to master this…'gun' sensei?"
"Well, if you use the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, you know that you could reduce the time, but-"
"-but the noise would attract some unwanted visitors, although it does seem to scare away the wildlife. Always a plus in my book. Creepy freaking bugs."
"Well than, you're just going to have to practice the old fashion way, or try and sneak out some reinforced Kage Bunshins and tell them to get as far away as possible, and practice. That's all I can think of kit."
Thanks for the suggestions, Kyuubi. Sigh, I guess I could send out those Kage Bunshins tonight, but till then I'll just have to keep practicing with this…'pistol'. That just sounds weird, you know what I mean?"
"ENOUGH TALK! I STILL WANT YOU TO RUN YOUR LAPS AROUND KONOHA, AND THEN DO YOUR EVENING WORKOUT! NOW, WORK!"
"Alright, alright, sheesh. No need to give a headache. Hmmm, aim down to sight, line up the target, aaaaaand…"
BANG!SPLAT!
"I really hate snake guts."
END CHAPTER 1
R&R, as always. I don't know if I will continue this. I will if someone wants me to, but, until some actually makes it clear they do, than I might just stop it here. Anyway, let me know what you want to happen in this story, if you want it to be just NaruXKyuu, as you can obviously tell it will be, or do you want me to make it a harem story? Should Naruto have a bloodline? Should he be a cold-blooded killer (what I plan on doing unless anyone steps forward)? Let me know, and I'll see what I can do
