Chapter One - Encounter

Chapter List





Naruto felt the cleansing touch of warmth shudder throughout his skin as it caressed his face, gently nudging him awake from his lucid dreams. ‘Who knew death would feel so warm.’thought the blonde.

Naruto slowly opened his eyes, squinting as a bright light filled his vision. Eh, he hoped heaven sold sunglasses otherwise he’d go blind within a week.

The blonde covered his face with an arm as he slowly rose, his bright blue orbs slowly adjusting to the harsh light. However, a sharp object suddenly found itself lodged near his neck, a slight tap away from piercing through his throat.

“If I were you, I’d lay down.” came a calm, cool, familiar voice. “Ka-kakashi-sensei?” questioned Naruto as the blurry figure ahead of him became focused, revealing itself to be his sensei. “Woah, I’m not dead. Yata! How’d you find me Kakashi-sensei?!”

“I have to hand it to you,” began the man praised as the Copy Ninja, completely ignoring the blonde’s question,” this is a pretty impressive Henge, but I think your intel is a little exaggerated.”

“Henge? What are-“ the blonde was cut off by Kakashi as he suddenly flicked the kunai across his neck, drawing a thin blood red line across Naruto’s neck.

“Ow! What the heck was that for, sensei?!” roared the blonde. “Hmm, even after taking injury the Henge doesn’t disappear. Very impressive, still, just give up the act and tell me, which village do you work for? Or are you a rogue hired by a private client? A former Konoha shinobi with a grudge maybe?”

“Wh-what are you talking about Kakashi-sensei!? It’s me, Naruto!”

“Not too bright in the acting department are you?” stated the silver-haired Jounin with a slight chuckle.

“But Ka-“

“Enough with this charade, you either tell me what your mission is and who you work for, or I’ll retrieve that information myself.”

“I am who I say I am! I’m Naruto Uzumaki Kakashi-sensei. What the heck are you talking about? I’m no imperso-“

“Demonic Illusion! Truth Redemption Technique!” chanted the Jounin as he locked the blonde under a genjutsu, causing Naruto to fall into a comatose state. “Let’s see how you hold up after a few minutes under my jutsu.”

o.o.o.o.o​

A mess of black and crimson filled the skies above him, clouds swirling into an almost cyclonic shape. The earth was dry and cracked with the fires of hell itself rising from craters and rifts. The tangy smell of blood drifted along the air, combined with the odour of sulphur, it was enough to make even a shinobi hurl.

Naruto sprinted across the demonic landscape, making sure to avoid the many lava pits that dotted the area. The heat around him was intense, burning at him like the very rage of a God. He was sure that after a few minutes he’d be feeling the symptoms of dehydration.

No, he couldn’t allow himself to fall for something like this, not after everything he'd been through. It was a genjutsu! Naruto screeched to a halt and promptly collapsed onto the ground, crossing his legs into a meditative stance and applying every ounce of mental energy available to him on breaking out of Kakashi’s jutsu.

A few minutes into it and Naruto released his breath not having realised he was holding it in the first place. Rivulets of sparkling sweat dripped down his skin, staining his shirt. It was hopeless. The blonde had never been competent when it came to genjutsu, in both casting and breaking out of them. His situation seemed hopeless.

Leave this to me Naruto…..’ came an oddly familiar voice from seemingly nowhere. ‘I-it couldn’t be…’ thought the blonde with stunned surprise.
A second later and Naruto found himself lying once again in soft, grassy earth, a cool breeze buffeting his face whilst Kakashi calmly gazed back at him.

“You broke out of my jutsu in under a second……impressive. Every move you make betrays your lie, the Naruto I know could have never broken out of a genjutsu, especially one as layered as mine.” stated Kakashi calmly, his voice leaking killing intent.

“It wasn’t me that broke out of it Kakashi-sensei! You know that Kurama can break me out of any genjutsu! What’s happening, why’re you treating me like I’m the enemy! It’s me, Kakashi-sensei, Naruto Uzumaki!”

“You really are a one trick pony aren’t you? Well, if you aren’t susceptible to my genjutsu, I’ll just have to deliver you to Ibiki. I’m sure he has ways of dealing with your type, besides, I don’t have the time to fool around.”

“Ibi-?“

Naruto heard the blow before he felt it, the sound of bone cracking and muscle tearing as Kakashi jabbed his chakra-imbued fist onto the blonde’s chest, knocking him out instantly.

B…ut…..I’m…a..he-…..ro…….’ thought the blonde as the fabric of darkness clouded his thoughts and he fell into a forced coma.

o.o.o.o.o​

An expansive blue sky filled his vision for as far as the eye could see, a radiant yellow sun drifting in between shimmering white clouds as it dreamily moved towards the horizon. The sounds of frolic and laughter could be heard all around him as children played on every patch of open grass.

Spring time was often filled with such merry sights and sounds, people wandering around aimlessly caught up in the peace around them, heh, it sickened him.

Fools, oblivious to the hatred in every shadow, every crevice, he hated them with a passion. He wasn’t like them; he was aware, fully aware of what the world truly was, of the pitiless, merciless home they lived in. He was no fool, he was an avenger. And he would receive his reward for a life of hatred by killing that man.

The avenger stalked alone through the streets of Konoha, uncaring of the pitying and worried glances thrown at him by the townsfolk of Konoha. ‘The Last Uchiha’ was what they had titled him, hmph, he wasn’t the last. Not until he had killed his brother.

Sasuke scowled as a group of kunoichi winked and gestured at him to join them. Idiots, he hadn’t the time or the want to waste on foolish notions such as love or emotion, not when he could just as easily use that time to greater his strength. Strength was what he desperately needed right now, there were too many people in the world stronger than him. He had to close that gap.

The Uchiha entered the dirt-ridden field at a leisurely pace, happy to find out that it was empty. It only meant that there were fewer annoyances to pester him.

Placing down his knapsack and removing his shirt to reveal a black under-shirt with the Uchiha crest on the back, Sasuke entered into a battle-ready stance, calming his mind and body before rapidly releasing a series of kicks and punches. He would get stronger, no matter the cost.

o.o.o.o.o​

Sakura smiled with glee as she viewed the new skirt that she had bought on sale. It was so adorable, and a real bargain at only half the original price.
I’m so lucky! Even fate is on my side!’ cooed the pinkette mentally as she viewed herself wearing the skirt.

It was to be this day; this was the day that she would finally get her beloved Sasuke-kun to acknowledge his unending love for her! She’d get him to accept her, no matter the stakes! True love conquers all obstacles!

The pinkette confidently sprinted out her front door as she did every day knowing exactly where the object of her affections would be. The fact that she had been miracoulously grouped into the same team as him over that stupid Ino-pig must surely mean something after all.

Sure, she really hadn’t gotten him to open up much during the few D-rank missions her team had endured over the past few weeks but still, she refused to give up hope.

After all! She was Sakura Haruno, the cutest kunoichi in all of Konoha, who could deny her? And so with that thought in mind, the love-struck pinkette rushed towards the training field, ready to declare her undying love for a certain Uchiha.

o.o.o.o.o​

A twelve year old Naruto growled as he glared at his reflection. Who did grand-pa Hokage think he was, sending him on so many lame-ass E and D-rank missions these past few weeks?

He was Naruto Uzumaki, future Hokage of Konoha, and no Hokage of his right mind would endure such mockery without complaint. Naruto scowled at the face that glared back at him through the mirror, his was the face of a Kage!

“That’s right! A Kage, that’s what I’m meant to be, dattebayo!” roared the blonde as mouthed his trade-mark catchphrase at his reflection. No longer would he endure the torment. Being on the same team as Sasuke-teme was bad enough, but now this! No! They might as well take away his ramen......no.....that would be going too far.

“Watch out oji-san! Naruto Uzumaki is coming at you!” roared the hyped up blonde as he rushed out of his cramped little apartment to bury the elder Hokage under a mountain of complaint. Elsewhere, Hiruzen gazed at the roof of his Hokage Mansion and cringed with prophetic pain.

o.o.o.o.o​

Kakashi entered the room at the kind of leisurely pace only a shinobi of his calibre could assume around the kind of people he currently surrounded himself with. “Yo, Ibiki. How’s the gift I brought you?” asked the silver haired Jounin casually.

“Hard to un-wrap.” shortly replied the Torture and Interrogation Squad senior, Ibiki Morino.

“Oh, sorry, I assumed someone of your calibre would find this assignment easy.” stated Kakashi with a smile, well, an eye-smile.

“Don’t mock me Hatake, you obviously didn’t inspect your ‘gift’ before sending him, did you?”

“Well-“ began Kakashi with a nervous chuckle before being interrupted by Ibiki.

“I thought so. You obviously took off every weapon he had on him but this boy is so much more than external force. Despite the fact that he’s unconscious and that we’ve poked and prodded at him with every kind of blade we have, his Henge refuses to disperse. And if that weren’t enough, every wound we inflict on him heals within a few minutes, not even poisons work on the boy. And the genjutsu barriers he has around his mind, it's impenetrable. Even Inoichi-san can’t break them.”

The Copy Ninja marvelled at the revelation. It was widely known that Inoichi Yamanaka was an unparalleled expert when it came to cracking through genjutsu barriers. However, this boy seemingly had a seal on him that even Inoichi couldn’t break, how interesting.

“Furthermore, according to Inoichi-san, the barrier preventing him from proceeding had the same behavioral and chakra characteristics of a living being, it kept repulsing him with excessive amounts of energy but never truly harming him. Inoichi-san managed to procure a sample of the energy that’s been blocking him. Along with the DNA test results, we’ll have a full load-out on who this boy is within a few hours."

“Hmm, well, sorry to keep you from your work then Ibiki, I have to report to Hokage-sama so I’ll be off. Oh, also, I think this ‘gift’ of mine makes us equal on that whole money situation that I owed you.” stated Kakashi with a chatty tone.

“Yeah, yeah, su- eh, what. No, Kaka-“

However, before the scarred shinobi could fully respond the Kakashi clone had already dispersed, much to Ibiki’s annoyance. “That bastard…..”
