A Naruto X Tayuya fanfic... Enjoy the opener to season one.
"Harishima!"
"Madara!"
Two men clash weapons over a giant waterfall, the valley around them is tarnished, and a giant fox is restrained by massive wooden trees. These two men fight like God's, literally tearing the environmental landscape around them apart, Uchiha Madara outcast of the Uchiha clan, and traitor to Konoha, battles his greatest foe yet, Harishima, or the Shodai of Konoha, and it's first Hokage. Neither of them backing down from their fight, and Madara was furious, nothing he was doing was working, no matter how hard he pushed himself, and he was seething with hate, and anger. "Die, Goddamn it!" he roared launching a torrent of black flame from his eye, Harishima got caught in it, and began to burn, only to curmble into wood. "What! Where are you Harishima! Senju Harishima!" Madara called out, his eternal Mangekyo sharingan blazing a red hue. He clapped his hands together, and soon he was enveloped in ethereal armor. "Goddamn you Harishima, you and your ****ing family!" Madara spit out with venom. The fox which bared Nine tails roared trying to break free. That when Madara pointing towards a clearing, "If you don't come out, I'll blow up a small village, a village that could be great, a village that yo-ARRGHH!" Madara suddenly yelled spitting up blood, a sword stuck this his back, and he looked behind him, and saw the blazing eyes of rage inside Harishima, but at the same time sadness.
"Madara, never threaten my family... And... I'm sorry." Harishima apologized as he pulled the blade out, and Madara began to fall to the grounds. His rage, and revenge denied, his anger gone, his hate seething. Where he was standing on a branch, he now fell towards a roaring river, and as Harishima watched he turned his head, "Madara... You fool... I loved you like a brother, my son loved you..." Harishima said, as he turned away, and began to weep.
In land where hate, and war brewed. Two men vowed to make the stand. Their Name's Harishima Senju, and Uchiha Madara. However, betrayal, and jealousy led to the path of darkness that Madara followed, intent to use power to rule the lands, and acquire peace through force, as His ancestor had suggest his father, the God of all Shinobi, and in the end the Senju ancestors peace, and love was picked. Though this created a riff, many of the Uchiha, and Senju descendants tried, and tried again to amend the broken bond.
Madara kept falling into the river, and as the wound bled, he bellowed in pain. Spitting blood into the water as he was rushed into the currents. He struggled to survive, and live on. He had his pride broken, his soul broken into pieces. His Uchiha will, denied. He fought what was consider the god of their time, and lost. Like fate would have liked it, and in the end. He was now being carried on a raging current, and fighting for just a few more seconds of sweet life. His sharingan disabled, and his power drained beyond repair it would seem the end of the great Uchiha avenger was at hand.
It was said that Harishima that day killed Madara, he wept for his lost "brother", and prayed for his soul to find peace. He led the village of Konoha, from a small mercenary village, too a great power of the elemental Nations. The water he let Madara fall to drown in, to be his watery grave. No one ever found the body though, however Harishima was sure that the great Uchiha had perished in the fight. That the sword he blew through Madara with was the instrument to his weeping, and that the death of his "brother" was to accepted as fact. The fact that he'll never see his own son begin to have his child added to his sorrow, Tsunade would've loved to see her grand uncle.
Madara grabbed onto a tree branch, and tried hard, but failed to grip it. His hands flowed, and broke when they hit rocks on the river bottom. If he was broken emotionally, he was now broken physically. The white rapids, in the dark forboding sky was to be his tomb, and he knew it was over, and he kept struggling. "Got to *cough* live *cough, cough* I *cough* am not *cough, hackle, cough* going to die... Uhhhh" Uchiha Madara finally succumbed to the exhaustion, he allowed his hands to drift to his side as he flowed with the river, he for once in his life, besides Izuna's death begun to cry. 'I failed you brother, I failed to protect this world... And try to save it.' he thought as mind began to fade, and that's when his body felt the water become faster, Madara's body subconsciously got itself ready for a massive hit, and that was just the understatement.
In the years since his death, no one really knows where his remains would be, and if they are even any to recover. The Uchiha clan removed any record of the great Uchiha of ever being apart of their clan, and instead they called him a traitor, and taught their future generations as such, and in the end no one really knows if the great Uchiha ever had a family. Harishima knew better, and knew that he didn't... He once consider Harishima's son, to be his own, but betrayed his son, and the village for power, as far as Harishima was concerned his blood line was dead, and gone from the world. In the end, Uchiha Madara in their eyes was... Dead.
He fell off, and over the waterfall, the water rushing past his long hair. He let out s scream as hs body fell into the water making a huge splash. Madara was unconscious, but his body was trying it's best keep him alive, and it was failing horribly. He began to fade away, but something grabbed him, and pulled him out of the water, and there a women with blonde hair looked at the young man. She took note of the Uchiha symbol, and took note of the battered state he was in. She had a sword, and could easily finish off the man, and take his body to the Uchiha's she knew damn well who he was... Uchiha Madara, but before she could plunge the blade forward, Madara mouth began to try, and say something. That's when she made out the words "I've... Failed... Everyone... Like trash." just above an inch from his chest, the blade stopped. Her blue eyes looked at the man, and then mix feelings came. Was she to kill this demon of the Uchiha, or save him, and find out why he chose his path.
It was to be written in their history books, Madara died in the battle known as the battle at the valley of the end, and in their wake. Harishima commissioned Statues to be built of him, and Madara to mark their battle, and the point where they lost their bonds. The Irony is the valley of the end would lead to many other's loosing their bonds. War, the second Shinobi was upon them, and in that time. No one would ever know the true fate of Madara.
The women dragged his limp body to her house, she laid him on her bed, and began to treat his wounds. Her medical jutsu was powerful, healing the stab wounds in mere hours. The fatal lung injury was gone, and the blood loss was reprimanded through a transfusion of her own blood. Madara Uchiha whose eyes were supposed to have been closed for all the physical realm opened a few months later, and met with the sight of the women. His eyes having changed, what used to be black, was purple tinged with six rings growing from the pupil, though it faded back quickly. The women had him restrained to her bed, and if he made any attempt to escape, he would meet his end there. The great Uchiha accepted his fate, and began to answer her questions.
He was the one who wanted to save the world through force, and then he had lost his chance, and in the end, once, or if he was free... He would commit seppuku for his failure. His failure to protect his people, and his failure to free the world from hatred.
It is said, there are two sides to every coin, and that a story has two sides to it as well, and thus. What was one persons prospect on life, was in fact a lie, and the other side may have been truth. Madara was dead in the eyes of the Konoha warriors, he was dead, and gone forever. Yet even with the best trackers, his remains were never found, and thus it was called off, on the eve of the second world war. Little did they know, the books was wrong, and thus, it was all a lie that they lived. Uchiha Madara was alive, and very well... Though captured.
"Who are you, don't you know... I am Uchiha Madara" The Uchiha lord asked, and the women smirked. "Was Uchiha Madara, they took your name away, the cheers from Konoha that a tyrant was dead, and they celebrated Harishima by making a monument in the mountains preceding over the village." Madara looked at her confused, and then asked "How long have I been out?" and the women smirked "Nine months, nine months I took care of you so that i could find out what you failed to do, and then if i chose too, kill you." there was crawling feeling down Madara's spine at the words, but he brushed them off. "I failed to save this wretched world, I was going to stop wars from happening with the power of the tailed beasts, and in the end people misconceived the idea as me being a tyrant." he explained, the women nodded. "It was a foolish Idea Madara Uchiha, power is not the way to peace" she raised the dagger she had kept on stand by for months, and ready to finish Harishima's work. Madara just sighed, and accepted his fate. "Do it... I realized my failure, your right it was not the right idea, and I see why the sage chose the Senju, over us." he stated, closing his eyes to await the blade.
In the second shinobi war, rumors of Madara surfacing was put off as genjutsu, and madness. Many still feared the great Uchiha, and thus some used a genjutsu to showcase the use of fear, and led many on a wild goose chase, however, a few Ninja came back suffering battle wounds from said "genjutsu" and was warned to never say a word, and they complied, and told Tobirama about their failure of a mission, which he bought as a intense Genjutsu. Tsunade later in life called it Madara madness, and she could've never been more wrong. It was said that Madara WAS arrogant, selfish, cocky, and laid back. The greatest tyrant, until he was beaten by Harishima, who was supposed to have killed him.
The women once again could not bring herself to stab him, and instead just kept under restraining seals in her house, for many months. He told her of his plans, and how he had failed him, how he plans to make it all right, by surrendering himself to Harishima, or Tobirama. It was their first years together, and in the end Uchiha Madara stayed along side of her. He changed, once arrogant, and prideful he became humble, and instead devised a new way for peace. Though they never knew it, feelings began to manifest around Madara's fifth year of being inside of her house, he later learned her name, after shortly being untied, and placed in restraint seals.
It was her name that changed everything for him, having gained a friend after a year, and a half of recovery. That name belonging to the girl was Haru, Haru Aki. She was the rebirth, and the fall of the great Uchiha Madara. Madara after his fifth year decided that his time of war, and fighting was done. He took up a new name, and even dyed his hair. What was black became with streaks of golden blonde, and old armor sat in a casing. Madara became a new man over his time with Haru, and became someone new, and accepted inner peace after learning to mediate, and did so by taking a look back.
Madara hated the senju ,and it was to written in the history books, no matter what it really was, and that's was the truth for a long while, and a very long while. A man by the name Kibo even gave them the details, but little did they know, that they were being led on a false path, and too protect Madara.
Madara, and Haru fell in love after his sixth year, and he admitted he had some feelings for her, and in the end they secretly wedded. Madara taking a new name Kibo Namikaze, and began to build himself a new life. A life where at last the rage inside him died. When he found that Harishima had finally died, he mourned him, and secretly visited his grave just eight years after after his "death". Madara mourned for a entire, and his one regret is that he wished he hadn't been so blind. Though, him, and Haru were together for so long, Madara still had not gave her children, out of fear that one of his descendants may become like him.
After the twelve years, he finally gave in, and Made love to Haru, and thus Madara/Kibo would have a son, bearing his mother's looks, and his personality. They named there baby boy Minato Namikaze, and began to raise him. However, all was not well, and Haru died just a year later from illness, pregnant with his second child. Madara then realized, for all that he has come to build, and too pass. He would protect his only son, and thus to keep him safe in all possible ways sent him away to Konoha, for he too became ill with the same virus that had claimed his own saviors life. He would later pass away peacefully that night, and would be greeted by Harishima, Mito, Mino Harishima's son, and Haru.
It was said that Madara would burn in hell for all his transgressions, and in the end he did. The only thing left was Kibo, and he had died, and died a good death, resting by his lovers grave.
Thirty four years later, Naruto's birth.
"No! Goddamn it Kushina stay with me!" Minato cried, as his wife began to bleed heavy amounts of blood, and to make matters worse, Naruto too was very ill, having gotten sick the womb. Minato had the nurses take Naruto while he stayed with Kushina trying to save her, and the worst part out of all this. Kyuubi, the beast that was inside Kushina was trying to break free,
"Let me out spawn of Madara, so I burn you to cinders." the great fox roared from inside the seal, Unknown to all, only Minato, and Kushina could hear his voice, and Minato was very afraid, he knew of his heritage, and knew that if it ever got out then hell would literally break loose in Konoha, the seal was failing, and with Kushina's death soon at hand, he looked at his wife. She nodded, and the nurse brought back Naruto, he was crying, and Minato began to cry, with tears he kissed his wife one last time, but then Man wearing a mask appeared, and pushed Minato out of the way, grabbing, and teleporting Kushina away. Minato quickly followed only to his horror, that he found his wife dead, and there the Kyuubi no yoko standing all in Human form, before becoming a full sized nine tailed fox. However, the man that was in the masked smirked under it, and activated his sharingan. "Kyuubi, you are mine." he suddenly, but silently muttered, and there the Kyuubi's eyes changed color, and he was placed under the masked Man's control.
Minato had little time to mourn, as he grabbed his wife's body, and teleported back to the hospital in a golden, there he laid her beside his new born son, and turned to the other's. "Take care of them, and get Naruto ready for when i give the signal. I fear this may be my last night to see you all, Hiruzen... Please keep Naruto safe, and... Please let him know he's a hero when he's old enough to understand" Minato choked out, and then his gaze became serious. He jumped out of the hospital window, into literal hell. There in front of him the leaf village was burning. That's when the tears dried, and he looked at the Kyuubi who was forming a Bijuu Dama, and was ready to fire any moment. He warped to another seal near the Hokage monument. The place he made love to his wife, would now become his standing point against a one man, and one bijuu demon invasion. He held out his Kunai, and as the beast launched the tailed beast ball he shouted "Time space art: Flying thunder barrier." the ball became absorbed, and Minato pointed it to where it would land far outside the village, and then he felt a hand on his shoulder, and smirked. "Bad move... Let's dance" he said, as his eyes became red with three tomeo, and much to mask man's fear Minato's eyes changed again, and they formed a Mangekyo Sharingan. Very few know of his true heritage, his adoptive parents, Hiruzen. He told Kushina, but she did not believe him, and he felt sadden by it, but he loved her none the less.
His eyes bled as a torrent of black flames hit the masked man, who warped in time to dodge them, but Minato just smirked, and threw his elbow back, hitting the man's mask, cracking it. That's when he formed a glowing sphere in his hands, and the man grabbed his chains. "Die Hokage!" Minato focused on the crack he hit, and it revealed a seal, and said "Game" he warped, and slammed the Rasangan into the man's back "Over" he stated, as the man's body, or more specifically left arm began to melt off. The man gasped, and looked at him. "H-How, how do you bare the Sharingan?!" he yelled, and Minato looked at him, the smirk gone. "You... Bastard, you just took everything away from me... And now you question something so trivial." The man's eyes widen inside the mask as Minato, pointed his head up, and let out a massive fireball, giving the people holding Naruto the signal, Hiruzen was fighting to keep the nine tails at bay, and the Masked man realized that this quickly went to hell, and before he go. Minato slammed his palm into him. "Contract seal!" Minato shouted, a seal spread over the Masked man's body, and masked man struggled, but could not stop the loss of control over the most powerful Bijuu.
Minato looked towards the village, and before he warped back to it, he looked at the masked man one last time. "Though this may be the last night i see my child, be forewarned, and heed you fool... He will be much more strong than me... And when it comes time, he will know the truth, and when he comes after you, not even Kami will forestall his duty." that's when Minato warped, and appeared in front of the nine tails.
He grabbed it's fur, and warped it back to where the man, and him had fought. However, the masked man was no longer, making Minato silently curse. He did not have long to rest, soon the fox was on the offensive striking at Minato, who narrowly dodged its claws. Minato looked at it, and began to feel anger. His Sharingan once again began to shift. "Not many people see this, I guess nor did many people ever see me use the Sharingan... But... Those that did, met a good death, and you Nine tails won't meet death, but will become helper in the new world." Minato said, as he formed hand seals, the Nine tails looked at him, and tried to bite the ground he was standing on. Minato finished the hand seals, and soon his a ethereal warrior appeared behind him. "This is the Susanoo, my father's ultimate attack, I have only used it once before Nine tails, and this will be my second, and final time... Prepare yourself" 'Come Hiruzen get here, I know I am able to go toe to toe with it since it's weak, once it becomes unweakened, then I am not going to be able to use the Death reaper seal.' Minato thought in his mind.
The ethereal warrior himself had a two arms, and one Katana strapped to his back. Minato motioned with hand, and grabbed it unsheathing the ghostly blade. The Nine launched forwards only to be side stepped by Minato, and cut deeply. It yelled in pain, but the wound quickly healed. They stared each other down a few moments. Before the Kyuubi smiled, and that when Minato realized two things. The blood that had flew up in the air just then was not Kyuubi's, but his, and looked down to see Hiruzen with Naruto, and a nail sticking through his body. "H-Ho... How." He asked as he fell to his knees, and watched the fox pull the nail out.
That's when he remembered, when he went to cut the nine tails, his eye was hurting, and blinded for that brief second, just in time for the nine tails to land a mortal blow, but Minato had one more trick up his sleeve, and decided that the time was right to use it. He formed hand seals rapidly, and channels what chakra that was keeping alive into the jutsu. Hiruzen looked at the baby boy, and said "I'm sorry, forgive your father Naruto" that when he placed the battle on a altar.
The foxes eyes widen as a death god appeared, and Minato eyes became black. "Nine tails, I seal your chakra in my child!" Minato roared as he the death god sent it's arm into Minato's body, grabbing the Kyuubi, and began to pull it's chakra out. "NO!" the Kyuubi roared, as it's body was slowly dragged into the seal, it screamed, and screamed, but nothing could stop what was about to happen now. Minato, and the death god pulled hard against the chakra, and with the fox's loss of footing, it was then sucked into the boy's stomach, thus ending the reign of terror that night, but Minato... Died as soon as the sealing was complete, he looked towards Naruto, gave a slight sad smile, before his final words were "Make daddy proud" before he collapsed dead upon the ground.
It was the saddest day in Konoha, that night no one left their homes, no one was happy, that night they all wept for their Kage's death, in the end, the only thing they could blame was Naruto... His son, but they did not know it, and that's where the real story begins.
Where Uchiha Madara became Kibo Namikaze, and died a redeemed man, father.
Where Haru a women of great care, and knowledge, who died redeeming Madara.
Where they're son, Namikaze Minato saved the leaf, but died a sad death.
They all lead into one boy, and that boy's name Naruto Uchiha/Namikaze Uzumaki
Six years later, Konoha apartments.
"Hey Jiji!" A young blonde with black banes boy said, the old man simply wearing the Hokage get up smiled, and said "Hey Naruto-Chan... How's my little fireball of a grandson today?" he asked the blonde haired boy, who just gave a big smile, "I am excellent Jiji, so what else are you going to teach me today?" He asked, the Hokage smiled, but shook his head. "Nothing, not yet, but soon Naruto." 'very soon, Naruto-chan, I will teach many things...' the Hokage thought to himself, and Naruto began to make a frown, and pout. "Hey now, don't pout Naruto, besides tomorrow is your first day in the academy." The Hokage said trying to cheer is surrogate grandson up. Naruto glanced at him several times, then began to smile. "Ok, your promise Jiji?" Naruto asked with a gleaming smile, the Hokage put his hand on the boy's hair, and rubbed it. "Yes Naruto-Chan. I Promise." The Hokage looked out the window, and noted how dark it was, but he motioned his fingers. Several ANBU came, and began to stand guard over the boy's house. Contrary to popular belief of the civilian council, most ninja actually adored Naruto, his wacky personality did two things, brighten their day, and made it intresting. The funniest thing happened just that day, Naruto, his Jiji had practiced wall walking, and Naruto got it down, and decided to play a prank on the poor Ninja watching over it.
He actually stole a few buckets of red, and yellow paint. He painted the Shodai, Nidaime, and even the Sandaime. However, he skipped the Yondaime, he said "he did not feel right doing it". Normally the Hokage would've been mad, but in this occasion, and much to ANBU ire. He joined in, and even leaving a special surprise for the clean up crew, something Naruto had thought of, and the Hokage did. Exploding tags filled with black paint. The clean up crew were very... Unhappy... And they demanded extra pay, because they knew the Hokage did it, come on who ever heard of a six year old protege in sealing, no? Well then you got your answer, and the Hokage simply let slide, and gave into the clean up crew, each getting paid a thousand ryo, and free dinner at the Hokage's cost, however the old man really didn't care, he was... As guy would put... Living with the flames of youth, which was Naruto, the number Hyper active knuckle head, soon in about four years to be Ninja.
Naruto himself wanted to be the greatest ninja of all time, stronger than many of the people the old man bragged about. Like the first, second, and even Madara. There was nothing standing in his way, that's the way he saw it, and that's the way he felt. Each day for Naruto was just another day, and he took it with pride, even if he didn't have many other friends besides his Jiji, or Iruka.
The funny story between him, and Iruka is that fact on how they met. Iruka was Chuunin assigned to watch over Naruto, although at first hateful in mind to the boy, he warmed up to him. He watched Naruto stand up to some bullies bullying a Hyuuga girl, although in Iruka's opinion Naruto got his ass handed to him, the blonde haired maniac was up and at'em not even three minutes after getting a hell of a beating. However, that same day, when Naruto came across the same bullies that same day after a few hours, it wasn't Naruto on the receiving end. Because, Iruka taught him some basic blocks which Naruto got on quickly, and where the bullies had no training Naruto at age six had some taijutsu basics down.
Iruka noted his courage as well, those bullies had even picked on clan head kids, and they had training. So Naruto had balls to go against them, and all for girl that was getting bullied. Iruka never shout up either about it, even too this day he teases Naruto. With common antics such as "The Bright Yellow, and Black ninja to save the his girl", or even "Is that your girlfriend" this also got Naruto to blush, and though he found it annoying Iruka found it quite enjoyable. Though the civilians hated him for being the container of the fox, Naruto loved them, and even played, well tried with some of the civilian kids only to have their parents rush them away.
What the best quality of Naruto was though, was his will, and to overcome adversity. He will be a good ninja one day, and that day may come soon, or sooner than most might think, but for now, the Hokage lays Naruto to bed, and leaves the sleeping lad, dreaming the usual dream. Hokage Naruto.
