Chapter 1 – Thank You.
'And shepherds we shall be, for thee my lord for thee. Power hath descended forth from thy hand so our feet may swiftly carry out thy command. And we shall flow a river forth to thee and teeming with souls shall it ever be.'
"Damn it." The small six year old blonde boy looked at the deep cut that ran from his right elbow to the begging of his wrist. "Not again." He cursed as he tried to untie the rope that bound his feet together. If he could get the damn rope off he could make it to the Hokage's office where the Old-Man would call in an ANBU Med-nin to heal him. That way he wouldn't have to worry about some ignorant fool at the hospital trying to kill him when the Old-Man left to go back to work.
Looking around the blonde boy found that he was in an alleyway with dumpsters to his sides so he had no way to tell where he was in the village and no one could see him from the streets. Not that it mattered, only some ANBU and the Old-Man himself would help him and the chance of him being found in the next hour was slim to none.
He could scream to try to get an ANBU's attention, they were usually pretty quick to find who was screaming at night but there was huge chance that some villager would find him and proceed to beat the shit out of him, and then call some of their friends over to help. But he really had no other choice. It was either sit here and possibly bleed out or yell and hope to god that the villager that found him would be in a giving mood or a tourist that doesn't know who he is.
So coming to a decision the small boy threw his head back and let out a loud "HELP!" that echoed threw the alley way. He craned his neck to try and listen some sign that some one was coming. He wasn't disappointed as he heard a single set of foot steps walking towards him from his left side. He closed his eyes and prayed to Kami that this person wouldn't hurt him anymore then he already was. The footsteps got closer and closer causing the boys heartbeat to increase. Soon the footsteps came to a stop and the person let out a small gasp causing the boy to tense. Either they were surprised that a small boy was tied up and hurt or they were surprised to find the 'demon child.'
"Dear Kami, what happened to you?" A feminine voice asked in a concerned voice. The boy opened his eyes to find a brown haired girl with purple rectangle tattoos on each cheek. She wore simple black pants with a loose purple v necked shirt with a pink apron thing around her waist. She looked to be aroudn eighteen years old. What surprised the boy the most was the look of compassion that he found in her eyes. He had only been given that look by the Old-Man after he was attacked by another villager.
"I was attacked." The boy answered as the women pulled a kunai from her pouch and cut the ropes that bound his feet. She had noticed the look of terror on the boys face when he saw the blade but it soon turned to shock when she freed him instead of hurting him. 'What has happened to make you so untrustworthy of the people around you.'
"Whats your name?" She asked kindly as she started to inspect his arm.
"Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki." The boy barely whispered in fear of what she would do when she learned his name.
The woman's eyes widened when she recognized the name. 'How did I not recognize him. His an exact replica of sensie only smaller and with whisker marks.'
"That's a nice name." She smiled trying to calm her sensie's son down so she could help him. 'If I could I would take him with me. Away from this damn village.'
"Naruto-kun I am going to use a special medical jutsu that will heal your arm." Naruto gave her a short nod. She smiled at him before her right hand was covered in a green chakra that she began to move over his wound. Naruto felt the pain begin to dull and the cut begin to heal slowly.
"I never asked you what your name was?" The blonde said after he realized that he didn't know her name.
She smiled warmly at him. "My name is Rin Inuzuka." Taking a quick look around that alleyway and finding no one she decided to tell Naruto about the women that had helped her learn most of her medical skills and help her get over the death of her teammate. "I was the student of both your parents." Naruto's head snapped up to look at her with wide eyes.
"Yo-You know who my parents are?" His voice was filled with hope.
She nodded once before pulling her hands away from the now healed wound. "I can't tell you about your father because it would put you in danger but I can tell you about your mother." The boy seemed sad that he didn't get to hear about his father but he was still happy to learn about his mom. "Her name was Kushina Uzumaki. She was a beautiful women with striking red hair and deep violet eyes. She was feared by many as the Red Pepper but she was also known as one of the best Medic-nins ever known in this world. She was my teacher after the third shinobi war. She was like a mother to me." Rin eyes glazed over as she ran her hand threw the boy's hair. "Your mother brought so much joy to people either by healing them or just being around."
Naruto stared absentmindedly at his now healed arm. Tears ran down his cheeks in streams. He felt like a great wait had been lifted off his back now that he knew about one of his parents. It was good to know that his mom was a healer that helped many people. He wanted to be like her. He wanted to bring people joy and peace. Maybe if he became a Medic-nin like his mother the villagers would begin to accept him.
But there was still one question that ran threw the boys head. "What happened to her?" He asked as he looked up at the brown eyed girl.
Rins eyes dropped slightly as she remembered the day both Kushina and Minato-sensie died. "Your Mother and Father died protecting you from the Kyubi."
"So it was my fault that they died?" Naruto's head was dropped causing his hair to cover most of his face. He tensed when the girl pulled him into her arms and began to hug the boy. The hug brought warmth to Naruto and it caused him to looses full control of his emotions as he began to cry freely.
"Never think that Naruto-kun." She whispered to him. "They both loved you with all their hearts and they were glad to give their lives if it meant that you would get to grow up. They wanted you to get to experience life. Both of them thought that you would become one of the strongest shinobi to ever be in this world."
Naruto wiped a way a few tears and began to sniffle lightly. "Really?"
"They talked about you all the time. Your father wanted to teach you about sealing and all of the jutsu's he knew. While your mother wanted to teach you about Medical Jutsu and her own special jutsu that she believed was a Bloodline." Naruto's eyes shot up in surprise.
"I have a bloodline?" He asked quickly. He had heard about all the bloodlines of Konoha from the Old-Man and now he finds out that he has one to.
"Yep." She nodded. "She was the first to have and she called it Chakra Chains. She was able to control chains made from her own chakra that were unbreakable. She was even able to hold the Kyubi back with them." The boy was staring at her in awe. My bloodline is strong enough to hold back the Kyubi. A large smile spread across his face for the first time that night. That is AWESOME. He yelled in his mind.
"Do you know how I control it?" He asked, his voice filled with excitement.
"I don't know everything about it but from what your mother told me. In order to do it you have to near perfect chakra control, which you need with Medical Jutsu to, then you just need will your chakra to form into chains that you should be able to control."
"Did she use them to fight?"
"No she usually only used them to hold someone down after they were defeated. I don't thin she really ever tried to fight with them before." Rin thought back to all the times Kushina ever used the chains but she could never remember a time that the red head had used them to fight someone. But really thinking about it the chains could be a great weapon if controlled correctly.
"Then its decided." Naruto said as he stood up from her grasp. "I'm going to be a Medic-nin just like my mom." He said as he held up his right arm. Rin smiled at his declaration before looking at the watch on her left wrist. She had been with him for almost twenty minutes. She would need to leave soon in order to get away from the village before Kakashi came to try and find her.
"Go talk to Hokage-sama I'm sure he would be glad to help you." Rin hugged the small boy one more time before she stood and began to walk away. "I'm leaving the village for awhile. Maybe one day when your stronger and you have become a great Medic-nin we will meet again. Until then work hard Naruto-kun and be safe." With out looking back Rin left the alleyway and took off towards the gates. She would need to get as far away from Konoha as possible before they find out that she is gone and Kakashi tries to find her. Applying a quick Henge, she walked out the village gates and began to run. Taking one last look towards the village she had one thought go threw her head. 'Good luck Naruto-kun. Your going to need it.'
(The Hokage's Office)
The Sandaime sat at his desk watching the conversation Rin and Naruto had from his spy ball. He knew that Rin was going to leave the village tonight but he couldn't bring himself to stop her. After the Inuzuka had kicked her out from her clan and her Mother and Father figures had died it wasn't surprising that she would leave. The only reason she had stayed this long was to make sure Kakashi wouldn't do something drastic after the death of Minato. But now that he was getting better and spending more time with his friends she had no reason to stay.
He placed the ball back into his desk and waited for Naruto to burst into his office with in the next few minutes. He would of rather not told the young boy about his mother yet but at least Rin was smart enough to not tell him about Minato. This could actually be a good thing. If Naruto does become a Medic he would be able to change the hearts of a lot of people and hopefully find some friends. And if he does unlock the Chakra Chain bloodline he would be a great asset to the village.
The Sandaime felt the boys Chakra signal come into the building so he quickly moved to the seal hidden behind Minato's portrait and unsealed the medic scrolls that Kushina had left for Naruto before she died. Sitting back down and placing the scrolls on the desk he packed his pipe and lit it with a quick Fire Jutsu right as the door was thrown open and the small blonde ran in. He opened his mouth to say something but the Sandaime raised his hand to silence the boy, then motioned him to take a sit which he did.
"I know what Rin told you and even though I would love to tell you all about your parents I can't until you are strong enough to protect yourself and your friends from yours and your parents enemies, and they had many enemies." Naruto nodded before he went to say something again but the Sandaime cut him off again. "I know you want to become a Medic-nin so I got some of the Medic-nin scrolls your mother left you before she died. She also left a letter and a few other things but I can't give them to you yet because it would reveal who are father was." Naruto frowned slightly but that changed into a smile when his eyes landed on the Medic scrolls that lay on the desk. There was only three of them but it would be nice to have something that belonged to his mother and that would help him become more like her.
"Now I only gave you the begging scrolls. There are another four scrolls locked away that hold some more advance medical jutsu and information so when you have mastered the first three I will give you the rest." Naruto nodded before he picked up the three scrolls and placed them into his pocket. His left hand covered them protectivily as if he was afraid that someone would try to steal them from him. Which knowing how the villagers treated him the Sandaime wouldn't be surprised if some of them tried to.
"Like Rin said, you are going to need incredible chakra control in order to do Medical jutsu and your mothers bloodline so you should start out with the chakra control exercises that are in one of those scrolls and when you have them mastered so you can do each without fault come to me and I will give you a few more." Naruto nodded before he gave the Old-Man a deep bow, which surprised the Sandaime. Naruto had never showed him respect in his entire life.
"Thank you." Naruto said as he tried to wipe some of the tears away.
"Your welcome Naruto." He smiled kindly at the young boy. "Now you should go home its late and you need to get some rest. Its been a long day." Naruto nodded before he turned and ran back out of the office and towards his home. He would need to get a good nights sleep before he started to study his mothers scrolls.
The Sandaime wanted a few more minutes before pressing a button on the under side of his desk. Almost instantly an ANBU appeared kneeling in front of his desk.
"Bring me Kakashi." The ANBU disappeared in a small cloud of smoke that cleared quickly. Rin had a good twenty minute head start and she has always been faster then Kakashi. She would get away if she didn't stop before she reached the Fire Country border. 'Good luck Rin.'
And its done... See I told you it was short.
The next chapter will be a little about his training and the story of how he gets the name The Cursed Medic of Konoha.
I want to right a Naruto Puppett Master story. With Sasori as Kushina's brother. Sasori will take and train Naruto to become a new puppet master in order to kill Akatsuki, and yes that includes Sasori. Naruto's dream is to acquire puppets with unique elemental affinity's, which gives him the nickname Elemental of Konoha.
What do you people think of that. Although truthfully I don't really give a shit about what you guys think, I'm going to start the story anyway but I figured I would ask anyway in order to give you guys the feeling that I actually care about you.
