What If Naruto Hates Kushina And His Sister || Naruto Epic Revenge With His Family ||

hey guys how are you all welcome back to my Channel today we will see what if narut hates kha and his sister if you enjoy then please like share and do comments manado namazi sat in his office practically pulling out his hair the greatest of the nine beu was getting closer to konaha with every second shobi dying to stall it and he sat here without a solution how to stop it the only thing he found out was that it was impossible to kill a beu there had been millions of tries but not a sing Le success sealing was possible and ironically it was his own specialty but sealing of beu got exponentially harder the higher up the hierarchy it was and the caoi stood at the very top there had been a few notes about Jin shariki and beu but the only thing he got on the caoi was that it had never been sealed before and that it was female thank you very much [ __ ] knowing the gender really helps in getting rid of it what was he supposed to do offer free sweets shoes and clothing if it left then he found something in the Forbidden section it was a ritual that summoned the Shinigami himself who then ripped the soul out of your enemy marking you and devouring both your and the enemy's Souls a last ditch effort but what was the point in marking the user if he died along with his victim unless it was a ceiling manado delved into his research with new Vigor and after confirming that it was indeed a ceiling ceremony he started to make adjustments since it was a ceiling it should be possible to control where exactly the target was to be sealed he knew that if he sealed the caoi into an object it wouldn't take a week and the Beast was free once more being far too strong to be locked in a teapot like the shukaku if an animal was used the caoi would take control before you could say oh [ __ ] since no animal had the willpower or mentality required to keep it at Bay the only possibility was a human ideally he would seal it in himself then drag them both to hell but he wasn't sure if the Ubi had a trick that would allow it to escape the shinigami's clutches any other adult was out too seeing that an adults even a child's chakra network was already too solidified to handle the sudden influx of chakra the only thing that could adapt was an infant manato felt a new height of Despair he would not have hesitated for a second to sacrifice his own life but to drag an innocent life into this especially since he knew that only two babies would be born in time for the ceiling his own sha was pregnant with twins and her water had broke a few minutes ago he was going to have a son and a daughter and he would have to seal the caou in one of them even if another mother gave birth early manado knew that he couldn't ask anyone to give up their child if he was not willing to give up his so the only bitter question was which one to seal it in he weighed his options and eventually came to the conclusion that sealing it in his daughter would be the best option sealing a being of one into a being of the other was always risky as it kept host and prisoner from properly bonding something Kumo had learned when they sealed the nibby into a man who during his life not only had little contact with his beju and never got Beyond using a bit of rot chakra that was useless for any kind of Jutsu but had miserable chakra control altogether as the different chakras violently disrupted each other on the 40th anniversary of the ceiling the man had spontaneously combusted the explosion taking out almost a tenth of Kumo the suddenly free nibby smashing another fifth before it was caught and resealed this time into a girl no it was better to seal a female into another female the nibby had destroyed a tenth of Kumo manado had no interest in finding out how big of a boom the caoi would make he spent the next 3 hours designing the seal that would hold the caoi before heading to kha his heart heavy kha held her babies in her arms smiling at both of them Naruto looked just like his father while natsuki was her fting image they were crying and honestly she couldn't blame them as she could feel the ca's chakra the Beast most likely approaching the gates at this moment Shish it's okay don't worry Daddy will find a way to save the day that's what your daddy does best Naruto natsuki it'll be fine sunade who had returned to konaha to help her friend kha through what has been called the most painful time in a woman's life was not so sure and she could see that kash's confidence in her husband was not absolute either speak of the devil there he came with an expression appropriate for a funeral this did not look good manado looked at his wife knowing this would be the last time he'd ever see her he forced himself to smile hello kha how are you doing are the children all right kosha gave him a weak smile natsuki and Naruto are just fine and according to sunade I'm out of the woods what about you did you find something manato nodded I searched and found out that while it's impossible to destroy the caoi I can seal it away I know the Jutsu and I've already designed the aray Kash smiled relieved that's wonderful darling why do you look so down manato wished he could keep quiet but he knew that would not only betraying kashen but that it simply wouldn't work still how do you tell your wife that you will die sealing a monster into her child well sunade looked at him there's a catch isn't there she had always been sharp and as a medic reading people was Child's Play yes there are two kha looked at him what are they manato guled for the ceiling to work I I need to sacrifice my life Ken's eyes widened no she whispered tell me it's not true manato glanced at her I can't to seal the caubi I need to summon the Shinigami kashina sobbed it's not fair after all we've been through after all we've lost after the war now that we finally came this far it just ends like this now that we finally have children they will never know their father it's just not fair sunade looked at him her eyes sympathizing yet sharp was that the other catch manato couldn't look her or kha in the eyes no he finally whispered his voice sounding as if he had fought down a sob kha was not really paying attention after this news what could be worse sunade asked what is manado stared at the floor his voice trembling the only thing that can hold that could hope to keep the caoi at Bay is he paused having to gather all his strength not to break down in tears is an infant kashen stared at him white eyed then she pulled her children closer to her chest no she stated her Panic voice steadily increasing in volume no you can't not them no I won't let you not our children no manado slammed his fist into the wall tears now running down his face as well do you think I want to do this he shouted before taking a deep breath kha I've looked through every possible Source I've searched everywhere if I seal the fox in an object the object will break if I seal it in an animal the fox will take over if I try to take it down with me it may Escape me as it and I would have no time for our souls to connect so I'd have no hold and nobody with said chakra coils could possibly survive the ceiling there is nobody else kha he grew quiet small sobs escaping his lips there is nobody else sunade hesitantly patted his back this once again showed her that the title of Hokage was more of a burden and a curse than anything else here stood a man a loving husband and fresh father who had to not only sacrifice his life in his best years but Dam his own child to house a demon the job sucked and that was it after nearly an hour manado left the room with mitsuki in a broken heart he knew that he had to do it but that didn't make him feel any better about it if anything it made him feel worse manato stood on gab's head staring at the fox who destroyed his happiness he sighed you ready gabun the large toad snorted humorlessly nobody is ever ready to face that one but I'll buy you as much time as I can thanks tell jiah to get you a large bottle of sake my treat manato stated the toad nodded well then letun go with that the toad charged the possibly most dangerous beast on the planet using his sword to deflect a tail his entire tactic was based on hop around slash it when you see an opening don't get hit so far it was working manado had already drawn the seals on his daughter's stomach and was flashing trough the last hand signs as gamabunta took a hit not enough to dispel him but it would leave a scar over his eye hurry I can't keep her busy much longer the toad called but manado had already finished the Shinigami was floating behind him he looked at the fox and calmly spoke the words that would end his life Shiki fuin he felt like his chest was encased in ice as the shinigami's arm shot out of his stomach grabbing the caoi desperately struggling while gabun kept it from escaping before disappearing with a poof and somehow transforming it into Red Mist that it placed in natsuki's stomach the seal manato had inscribed gloe before fading away it was over manato slowly turned around and looked at the Shinigami who was also looking down to him are you prepared the deity asked manato opened his mouth I images began to flash before his eyes his village his wife his son his daughter I the images change he saw his hopes for the future first he saw his village blistering proudly in the sunlight he saw Kos smiling at him in front of their compound he saw his children growing up first his children then young teens he saw himself and kha giving them advice on the Shinobi life he saw them now older at their weddings he saw himself hand the H KAG had to his children he saw his grandchildren sit on his lap while he told stories of long past Wars he finally saw himself now as old as Sarat Toby laying in a bed surrounded by his precious people peacefully closing his eyes I unlike many Shinobi monado's ideal death had never been to die in a brilliant display fighting an equal if not Superior foe like the show Dam or facing unbeatable odds to buy his comrades time like the nidam he wouldn't mind going that way mind you but his dream had always been to die peacefully of old age with a smile surrounded by his loved ones it wasn't fair to have everything stolen from him just when life had finally started to look up he could stay tough but facing a God manado knowing it would make no difference chose honesty I I'm not ready this statement while seemingly so easy to make was the hardest thing manado had ever done including choosing to use his children he gave up his ego his pride His Image as The Fearless confident leader and revealed his true self a man who was afraid to die with so much left undone where was his courage his resolve to offer his life as the Hokage the Iron Will and passionate love for his village that made him running into more than one hopeless situation with guaranteed death where was that passion that had driven him in the library to search for a solution no matter the cost to himself gone vanished under the cold gaze of a God that stripped all falseness that could not be deceived the Shinigami looked at him his inhuman face betraying no emotion then very well manato blinked it couldn't really be that easy could it what the deity looked at him I am death everything dies it makes no difference if I take you now or in a 100 years eventually you will die and as are packed your soul will be mine I am patient I can wait with that he vanished leaving a baffled slack J manado behind manato then looked at his daughter and smiled the Shinigami would eventually get his soul and he didn't care he was given a chance to watch his children grow up that was all he needed he picked up natsuki and headed towards the hospital he would take care of the villagers in a minute right now he headed for his family the Union had been shocking and heartwarming lasting nearly an hour before manato decided he couldn't leave his villagers in the dark any longer he took his daughter in his arms and smiled she looked exactly like her mother with the exception of the six whisker marks on her cheeks Naruto on the other hand was clearly his clone or rather his reflection in the fountain of youth he stood on the tower looking down on the masses Gathering below cheering for his victory he smiled people of konaha we have won thanks to our many Brave Shinobi I have managed to find a way to defeat the caubi it will no longer be a Scourge on these lands the Roars were deafening manato raised his voice but not I alone am the true hero the heroes are all those who bravely faced The caubi Roaring approval then manado spoke again nor am I the savior of konaha the true savior is right here he lifted natsuki up so that everyone could see her the caoi was so powerful because it is Immortal and nothing can and kill it however this girl is keeping it locked away where it can never cause harm again she is the Jailer for the most powerful beu and she will make sure that we can live without fear I present you the savior of konaha my daughter natsuki Uzumaki namazi there was a moment of silence then the Applause and cheering Rose to new their beloved leader the yandi had stated that the girl his daughter no less was a hero who kept caoi imprisoned forever so it had to be true the few yelling something about killing were swiftly pulled into dark Corners where the truth was beaten into their heads manato felt wonderful his family was complete he was alive and his daughter was seen as the hero that she was and for a moment he had been worried that they would be unable to tell the difference between the Jailer and the Prisoner he should never have doubted his people and even though revealing both his marriage and status as a parent maybe slightly risky matato was not worried he had stared both caoi and the Shinigami himself in the face and had somehow managed to make it out what human did he have to fear Ewa and Kumo would be too worried that if they attacked the children their parents would retaliate and bring repeats of the humiliating defeats the war had brought them in their countries in fact it was more likely that new alliances would Sprout like mushrooms he would have to deflect the proposals to his children but somehow that didn't really seem all that threatening compared to what he had been through no the future of his family was very bright it's fascinating how a man can at the same time be so right and yet so wrong Kash looked at the two babies that were peacefully sleeping finally they were incredibly tiring as much as she loved those two her husband was currently busy organizing the rebuilding of konaha so looking after the kids felt completely to her she was thanking God that at least Naruto was a quiet child who only cried when he really needed something as natsuki was a bundle of energy that could be let unsupervised for even a single second she permanently crawled around never remaining in the same spot and she cried more often in 10 minutes than Naruto did in a normal week kha suspected the caoi was at least partially responsible for the exhausting amounts of energy natsuki possessed still her life was going well she had survived giving birth her husband had survived something nobody was supposed to survive and their children were healthy what more could a mother ask for well maybe that he children got along a little better they were eight months old and seemed to get along fairly well although natsuki was clearly the more dominant one of the two except for the odd night it had happened twice so far that she had woken up to Naruto's whimpering only to find that the only thing out of the ordinary was that natsuki was clutching onto him she had thought it cute but Naruto seemed really uncomfortable maybe natsuki was grabbing too hard Naruto was just over four years old when he first understood that there was a difference between him and his sister of course there were differences he was a boy and she was a girl they had different likes and dislikes like to play with different toys stuff like that but while natsuki had never been sick a day in her life his health was a bit more frail and beside getting sick from time to time narut had noticed that three to four times he woke up feeling absolutely miserable without knowing why in the last year it usually only lasted a few days but it was still odd their father had of course explained that natsuki had the mighty caoi sealed inside of her and that it gave her increased healing and Better Health that made it all the more puzzling for Naruto why natsuki screamed as if tortured whenever she scraped her knee Naruto usually tried not to cry when it happened to him and just went to his parents most of the time mommy something she seemed happy about since she always called him a big boy but only now that they had left the compound together as a family for the first time did Naruto really understand that there was a large difference between him and his sister now that Naruto thought about it as long as he could remember he and atsuki had never been out of the compound at the same time so when he had been outside before people had smiled at him and he had thought they'd do the same for his sister and he was right what he didn't expect was that they completely overlooked him while his sister was there nobody seemed to notice he existed anymore as everyone rushed to get a look at his sister Naruto didn't really mind not been goed at by strangers and actually had a bit of sympathy for his sister that was caught in the center of this human melstrom until someone in his hurry to get a look at the savior of konaha ran into him actually sending him flying with a surprised shout the muddy ground prevented any serious injuries but his formerly orange yucata now had large patches of brown he sniffed he had liked that Yukata manado noticed that the tug on his leg had vanished and looked down only to find that Naruto was not there but a good four away rubbing his head while unhappily looking at his ruined yucata he saw the man that had run him down his Shinobi instincts having ensured that he recalled the face of a man who had rushed by him a little too close he spotted said civilian Merchant elbowing his way through the crowd and pulled him back by the collar hey what's the big oh hokagay Sama what can I do for you the merchant had turned Ashen when he realized he' shouted at the leader of his village manato was annoyed well for one thing you can apologize for knocking my son into the dirt and pay for the cleaning of his yucata the Merchant's eyes darted around until he saw Naruto covered in dirt Lord in heaven he had ran the son of the yandi over he wouldn't be able to sell a thing for the next week I'm sorry I was elsewhere with my thoughts of course I will take responsibility for this the cleaning is on me if there is anything else I can do manato gave him a cold look and the merchant shrank away you will will get the bill in the next days and that was an expensive Yukata if the stains don't go out you're replacing it of course the talk between the Hokage and the merchant had attracted attention and kashina and natsuki now noticed Naruto was still sitting in the dirt natsuki blinked pointed at her brother and laughed it wasn't really any bad intention he just looked so funny Naruto stared at his sister then at his own clothing and even though he didn't think it was that funny he had to laugh too cu shook her head shoted her children back to the compound to get changed while manado headed to a bakery to get something sweet that his family could eat together to cheer up his son after that unfortunate event a few months later the family sat together at dinner kha cooked the family's favorite meal Ramen natsuki gobbled down the ramen faster than one could blink while manato and kashina while eating more civilized were only slightly slower in their decimation of the meal only Naruto ate slower savoring each bite before swallowing it that was also the reason he had just finished his first bowl while all others were at least on Bowl four mom can I please have a narut started only to be interrupted by natsuki Mom refill she shouted happily kashina sighed young lady how many times do I have to tell you not to shout still she took the pot and poured more into natsuki's Bowl before looking into the pot with a frown on her face well that was the last of it narut blinked it wasn't fair he loved Ramen just as much as anybody else in his family did natsuki was eating her undeserved ninth filling he had just finished his first and she got the last bowl whenever Naruto interrupted somebody his mother told him that that was rude why was it okay for his sister narut calmed himself it was to be expected narut was unusually smart for his age and he had already noticed that his parents seemed to love natsuki a little more than they loved him he wasn't beaten or hated it was just subtle things that gave it away they just always cared a little more for natsuki than for him he knew that parents sometimes had favorites amongst their children and that natsuki was important because she carried the caoi but couldn't at least one of his parents love him more kha looked at him what were you saying Naruto narut blinked nothing he stood up pushed his chair in placed his bowl in the sink and left kha looked at manado who gave her a helpless shrug natsuki was busy with her Bowl ignorant to the rest of the world Naruto opened his eyes and immediately felt miserable the glance down was just a formality for him to know that natsuki had sneaked into his bed during the storm last night so he probably had a few hours before it got really bad then he noticed the door to his room was open and his parents were looking at them doubtlessly finding it incredibly cute fortunately natsuki woke up saw her parents and rushed out of of the room narut looked at his mother mom can't you tell her to stop it his mother blinked why it's cute and I like seeing that my children care for each other this much most children climb into their parents bed when they're scared not their brothers I'm almost jealous quote Naruto grimaced you shouldn't be Mom it hurts every time she sleeps here I wake up feeling awful kha frowned he always said that and there was nothing wrong with him she had even gone to a doctor the first times he claimed it hurt and the man had told her that nothing was wrong aside from a cold you know I can understand that you think it makes you look less manly sleeping with your sister but that's no reason to make up stories as punishment for telling lies you weed the garden she knew it wasn't that much of a punishment as Naruto enjoyed working in the garden narut opened his mouth in protest but Ma kashina stopped him before he could say more Naruto Uzumaki namaki I suggest you be quiet before you make your punishment worse than it has to be Naruto closed his mouth got dressed and marched towards the garden past a smug looking natsuki the storm had not completely passed and Naruto spent the last quarter of his time in the garden soaking in icy cold rain determined to finish the task no matter how unfair it was to be punished for telling the truth he spent the next days in bed with a high fever it was Naruto's and natsuki's fifth birthday normally they visited all the different Clans that day spending time and getting presents with each one before moving on taking the children and those adults who wanted with them until they finally reached the festival that was held annually to celebrate the defeat of caubi at midnight they launched fireworks that lasted over an hour with all children being excused from school the next day so that they could watch them but because Naruto had just recovered from a heavy fever kha and manado decided that it might be better if they asked the guests to come to their house instead so that narut would only travel to the festival and back to not completely exhaust himself narut smiled happily as he took congratulations from all sides and even got to Cut the Cake he gave his sister an extra large piece with three strawberries on top as it was her favorite kind of cake although the congratulating masses didn't leave any time for the twins to actually exchange words Naruto opened his pile of presents being happy for each one and not at all jealous of his sister he knew that his sister would get more presents than him as everyone in the village seemed to want to send her a present he was happy with what he got from his father a blunt set of Kai and shuriken next to a big bag of sweets while his mother gave him a shiny wooden sword for training as they would start with Shinobi training after their birthday which really was the biggest present he could ask for well aside from the free meal coupon ichiraku Ramen had sent him natsuki got the same gifts plus a few more and was loudly cheering in happiness after the gifting and the meal it was decided that manato would activate the Security Seals to keep uninvited guests out and over enthusiastic kids in before the two age groups separated the adults stayed in the house talking boring grown-up talks while the children got to play in the yard and training grounds after they had made sure there were no forgotten pointy things laying around it was a warm sunny day so the children were only too happy to oblige after the adults had left nitsu suddenly clapped her hands pulling the attention to her I just wanted to say something thanks for coming the children cheered but natsuki wasn't done wait wait the second thing is because naruni said something mean about me I'm not going to play with anyone who plays with him silence rained after that declaration The Children looked at each other natsuki was definitely the more fun one of the two always cheery and filled with energy unlike her rather quiet brother so the decision with whom of the two they wanted to play was an easy one also most of their parents had told them how important natsuki was and that being friends with her was a good thing slowly all the children headed over to natsuki some having the decency to give him apologetic looks although the general opinion was that Naruto deserved what he got if he was being mean leaving Naruto standing alone gaping like a fish he could not believe his sister had just done that he knew she wasn't happy that he said that her crawling into his bed hurt him but it was true the next two three hours Naruto made multiple attempts to play with the other kids but they sent him away he tried to talk to natsuki but his sister ignored him completely eventually narut just gave up sitting alone in front of the small shallow pond on the grounds flipping rocks over its surface when the parents came to take their kids to the festival Naruto said he was tired and didn't want to go his parents assumed that it was because of his fever and allowed him to go to bed leaving him some medicine and tea he later poured down the drain while the rest of the children headed off to the festival nits sui being the only one who felt a slight twinge of guilt from her brother's absence before the festival washed those thoughts away she spent the evening at different stalls playing games and winning toys with her friends falling asleep at the end of the fireworks and being carried home narut had long since cried himself to sleep at that point a few weeks later Naruto was sitting in the living room drawing a picture he wasn't really good at it but he had decided to just try it with his parents gone and natsuki being nowhere to be found he didn't have anything better to do and discovered he liked drawing just as much as gardening his first picture was simple it was a picture of his family him to the very right holding his father's hand who was holding mom in his other hand who in turn was holding natsuki's hand he had worked on it for the last two hours and it was finally done the resemblance was very crude but it was there and narut was proud that he had also thought of drawing grass the sky and a house looking like their home only without the surrounding wall he was about to put the drawing stuff away when he heard a hissing he left the house to investigate and found that a cat had apparently sneaked in it was a tiger striped cat with a ribbon on one ear Naruto tilted his head come on Kitty I'm not going to hurt you you're not supposed to be here I'll show you the way out the cat hissed at him but it followed ready to pounce or flee at the slightest indication of Deceit Naruto however simply opened the small hatch that could be used to look at who's at the door before actually opening it it had seals on it that prevented anything from going into the property but it didn't have anything preventing going out of the property as long as it fitted the cat jumped on his back when he leaned forward then on his shoulder before jumping through the hatch and out of the compound it had been unable to leave Naruto on the other hand heard his parents voices and realized they must have come back while he had been busy with the cat when he came in his father smiled at him ah narut nice to see you how was your day Nar smiled shilly because of monado's Duties as Hokage he didn't get to spend as much time with his family as he would have liked so Naruto always seemed a bit unsure about him I'm fine then his mother showed up smiling Naruto natsuki drew a great picture Naruto blinked she too well that would explain why narut hadn't found her really kha nodded here it is she showed it manado smiled that's impressive it really looks just like us Naruto's jaw had dropped that was his picture the one he had spent the whole day drawing natsuki had taken it while narut was busy with the cat and in her shaky writing had named it hers writing me in the uncolored spot narut had left above her head kha was titled mom manato with dad while she had written naruni above His Image I made that cuz his smile faded narut I told you before that it's not nice to lie but I'm not lying Naruto defended himself Kush gave him a stern look narut I saw natsuki finishing the picture if it was yours where were you Naruto tried to explain there was a cat in the yard so I manado joined the conversation so you were playing outside with a cat that's fine so why do you insist on claiming your sister's work if you're jealous just draw something yourself what you're doing can be called stealing and you know our opinion on that Naruto tried not to look too upset but that's not how it kha sighed Nar stop making excuses and just apologize for lying but I wasn't Nar started kha gave him a stern look narut go to your room you won't be coming to eat chiraku with us today I didn't want to do this but you brought this over yourself it will give you time to think about if the punishment is worth telling his obvious lies Naruto blinked why was he being punished he was telling the truth natsuki stole his picture lied to Mom and Dad and as a reward she gets to go to eat chiraku while he had to stay in his room that was like a thief stealing a painting and being given the insurance money of the painting as a reward he ran up to his room slamming all doors that he could sliding or solid on the way up the stairs he looked back one last time and saw natsuki stretching her tongue out to him that was the first time narut truly hated his sister narut grunted as he was slammed against the ground he quickly pushed himself on all fours and kicked his left leg behind him a huff told him he hit the target he jumped to his feet but his attacker had already recovered Naruto blocked five punches and sent three back before a knee to the gut forced him on his knees that's enough both of you monado's voice rang Out natsuki jumped back while Naruto struggled a bit before getting up good job you too especially you natsuki I'm surprised most girls are weaker than boys natsuki puffed her chest while Naruto growled well most girls don't have a demon in them that make them stronger manato gave him a look Naro what it's true the blonde lady with the diamond on her forehead said so herself remember manado couldn't argue with that he had asked if sunade could come over and check the children to make sure there were no complications that could interfere with the the beginning of their Shinobi training there had been nothing a few unusual spots in Naruto but nothing really troubling however sunade had discovered that the ca's chakra minuscule amounts of it seeping into natsuki was strengthening her bones and muscles making her stronger and tougher than the average boy her age she had said that while narut and natsuki had been present although honestly speaking only Naruto had paid attention to her yes it's true but that doesn't mean you should rub it in manato admitted Naruto nodded yes it does otherwise she'll treat it like a personal accomplishment dad be honest if natsuki was a normal girl Heck if she was a normal boy who would have won manato side you Naruto and don't swear natsuki your brother has a point in the entire Spar you never once dodged or blocked a single attack you just took them and kept on striking quickly forcing Naruto who did Dodge and block into the defensive natsuki blinked so it didn't hurt and I still won manato looked at her that's true but this was a bare-handed spar in real Combat against experienced enemies you'll almost always be fighting someone with a weapon if only a canai and if you fight them the way you fought your brother you'll be cut to Ribbons before you can inflict any damage even the caubi can't heal you if you have a knife in your chest or lost your head your strategy is just dashing out hits and relying on the fox to fix anything that happens to you well that is okay now it has to change your mother says that in Sword training Naruto beats you every time natsuki was insulted only because mom always calls the matches before anything happens manado frowned no she calls the matches when one side gets a hit that would either [ __ ] or kill them if you were using real swords Naruto just uses openings to hit those places natsuki shook her head nah she called matches when narut hid my shin or arm manato looked at her well you can't fight without arms and feet can you natsuki pouted before finally admitting no manato ruffled her hair see was that so hard natsuki's face clearly stated yes but manato didn't notice now let's move on to Jutsu practice natsuki's face brightened while Naruto grimaced natsuki loved learning and using new Jutsu which she did incredibly fast while Naruto always took longer The Secret of natsuki ESS of course once again lay in the fact that simply because the caubi was sealed inside of her natsuki had unnaturally large chakra reserves she could go on when Naruto had to take breaks and more importantly she could afford to use five times the chakra needed to get the Jutsu to work while Naro had to work on his control to get it to work of course that also meant that narut could stand and carefully move on liquid surfaces by now while natsuki was incapable of merely walking up a tree while natsuki was upset when she saw her brother walk over water or just walk up vertical surfaces to avoid her she saw no need to better her control as she had no problems doing the Jutsu they were taught any attempts of Naruto to State otherwise were perceived as bullying and his parents didn't take his side in those arguments either going with the old line any problem that I can safely ignore is not a problem meaning that as long as natsuki could do the Jutsu they were happy to their parents' defense he and his sister were five but Naruto still couldn't see what was wrong at pointing out a problem before it became a habit and even harder to correct what Naruto loved were Jen Jutsu he discovered that with his good control which he regularly practiced and his very creative mind they just came naturally to him kosha had taught them the basics but with natsuki unable to dispel even the most basic ones and endlessly complaining she had much to Naruto's Chagrin decided to drop Jen Jutsu until they were a bit older and in natsuki's case more mature Naruto had been upset with the sudden loss of his passion as a lesson and wandered the village for a few hours by coincident he had met a member of the Kurama Clan who were known for their skills with Jen Jutsu and asked him for pointers he had to invite the older boy to Dango something his savings still hadn't completely recovered from but he had gotten his tip in fact that tip would be one of the biggest impacts in young Naruto's life Jen Jutsu the the Kurama had said is different from any other Jutsu no matter if Tai Jutsu Ninjutsu kenjutsu or fuen Jutsu you see with all of those you can easily learn from a master and with Talent you may even surpass him using what he taught you you may become a taijutsu master using only Tai Jutsu you were taught by others just as you can easily become an Ninjutsu Master using only JSU that others created as long as you have sufficient chakra Talent affinity and of course determin ation Jen Jutsu however is fundamentally different no matter how hard you work or how talented you are you will never surpass your master using what he has taught you narut had looked at him why not the man had smiled simple Jen Jutsu is a JSU that relies on one's imagination to work the hand signs are something used by beginners to Upper mid class and they only serve the purpose of helping you focus but those hand signs are something you use they're unique to you well person who knows what the Jan Jutsu is supposed to do can cast them with the hand signs they in fact reduce the power of the Jan Jutsu as they distract from the true Source your imagination true Masters can cast a Jutsu with a single finger a sound a gesture or even without any indication basically the genjutsu that work best for you that are the most impressive and the hardest to break are those that you yourself created to put it bloodly a beginner who designed his own Jutsu May and has cast a better Jen Jutsu than a master who uses something made by another if you really want success with Jen Jutsu don't ask for hand signs or how to do the Jutsu ask for what it does and then work until you made one that does it it requires more work but the results are well worth the effort Naruto blinked this went against almost everything his mother had told him but aren't hand signs vital because they control the flow of chakra so a genjutsu shouldn't work without precise chakra work right the Kuran had laughed indeed and that is why those who work in the art of genjutsu need very good chakra control the hand signs are only needed if your control is not good enough to move the chakra on your own that's also why people with miserable control are unable to break Jen Jutsu on their own they have to disrupt their flow of chakra although the higher level genjutsu can resist that and those people don't have enough control to cause such a disruption within themselves and you don't need hand signs any Focus will do in fact we have a girl in our clan the most talented one we've seen in a very long time and she uses pictures she draws as a focus instead of hand signs initially you may need a focus but what that focus is really doesn't matter in Jutsu for Ninjutsu it is important because the hand signs are also connected with certain elements of nature and help you tune in better but that's a different story so Naruto had started working on creating his own genjutsu testing them on animals and the harmless ones on random p pedestrians he had also started drawing again although after natsuki again took one of his pictures a rough sketch of konaha while he wasn't looking and claimed it was hers he had started to burn them as soon they were finished there was another thing that fascinated narut although that was even more difficult to learn while alone in the house Naruto had walked into his father's Library while manado had installed seals that ensured nobody he didn't authorize could pull a scroll out of the drawer and that nobody could remove a scroll from the Library he also had the bad habit of leaving things laying around Naruto discovered that seals while immensely complex were actually fairly simple in concept there were certain rules and guidelines for seal work which could be bended to a certain degree but not broken without dire consequences and as long as you followed these you actually had a lot of freedom in what you do of course Naruto would need a deep understanding of seals before he could do anything that was even a 50th as complicated as his father's here but the most basic things narut quickly learned to do the entire concept of ceiling somehow making complete sense to him all in all Naruto was by far superior in Jen Jutsu fuinjutsu and chakra control to natsuki while having a slight Edge over her in kenjutsu due to the fact that he actually dodged and blocked she was better in taijutsu although simply stronger and faster would be more accurate and also Superior in Ninjutsu thanks to cao's increased Reserve nerves her problems with control were avoided and when it became clear that the way things were going natsuki would never be able to use a bunchin that decided to teach her the cage bunin a Jutsu perfect for people with high chakra and demons stopping information overload natsuki had taken to it like a fish to water while Naruto had nearly killed himself when in a fit of jealousy he had tried the Jutsu in his room managing three clones which dispelled themselves to give Naruto back his chakra as untary dispelled clones return everything excluding exhaustion to their creators Naruto had learned his limit in the cage bunch in secret there and then and never created more than two clones tops usually one who then trained chakra control or read available Scrolls and books while he focused on Jen Jutsu fuen Jutsu and physical fitness in that order Naruto had actually taken the cage bunch in no Jutsu apart figured out what gave them their independent minds and abilities to send information and combined the sensient mind with a type of bunchin that had no physical body but didn't dispel when hit creating a new Jutsu with drastically reduced chakra costs his jenzo bunchin had the cost of A lowd ranked Jutsu and took no more control than one needed to stick to a wall yet nobody took him seriously when he presented it they explained that it wouldn't do any good against an experienced Shinobi despite the fact that Naruto explained he had intended it to be for Shinobi beginning their career to which it would have been a very useful Jutsu since the Clones were transparent to the Caster an unintended side effect Naruto had even created another Jutsu based on his first one a c ranked Jutsu requiring a water walking level of control the jenzo bunch in no yoy but the only thing that narut got when he tried to present his work was the order to not use Ninjutsu in a taijutsu match although his father seemed happy that Naruto had started crafting Jutsu even if they currently were useless ones in his opinion mitsuki spent most of the time she didn't train with her many friends while Naruto who after that story natsuki had told on their birthday had become something of an outcast in his age group something that natsuki had started to actively encourage spent most of his free time either perfecting his chakra control coming up with SEALS or working on Jen Jutsu while the simple ones narut could quickly recreate he was working on one that would be much more complex what he didn't know was how soon he would need it it was a cold day in February Naruto and natsuki were now six and a certain Rhythm had settled in their lives on weekdays they would get up get dressed brush their teeth and begin their exercises before they were tutored by their mother after lunch at 1: p.m. they had free time until 700 p.m. when dinner was served then their father would be home and they would go through one and a half more hours of training before the day was done and the siblings would wash spend time with the family and go to bed on weekends they had free and could decide whether they wanted to train study play or just hang around manato worked Saturdays in parts of Sunday while kha spent every second weekend with friends leaving the children unsupervised on one particular Saturday Naruto and natsuki were alone in the house having just returned from shopping kha going back because she had forgot to buy an important dinner ingredient when it happened Naruto and natsuki were in the kitchen unpacking the shopping bags when they heard a swooshing sound both spending enough time throwing canai to recognize the sound of one cutting through the air they both jumped off the chairs they had used to reach the higher drawers two canai embedded themselves in the wall where their necks had been only seconds before they turned around only to see a man wearing a headband with rocks carved into it natsuki summoned a small army of clones confident that would be enough only to stare in shock as the man made short work of them that shock cost her as she froze and only Naruto pulling on her arm to get her to run turned the third Throne canai into a grazing shot instead of a kill Naruto knew they only had as long as it would take the man to destroy the rest of the Clones which would probably be in roughly 20 seconds if the regular puff sounding out of the kitchen were any indication a nice part of the cage bunchin was that the Clones known what they were were a lot braver than the originals and had no problem starting kamakazi attacks which bought them a little time Naruto's goal was to reach the front door then the gate and then they would almost be out of the woods as there was always some Shinobi on the road usually more than one and every chunin knew Jutsu that served to call for backup he actually managed to leave the house before the E and N caught up with them natsuki who had been little more than dead weighed the entire Escape cried out in pain when a shuriken sank into her calf she noticed that her surroundings were getting blurry she wondered if she was poisoned Naruto knew there was no way he'd make it even if he left his sister behind he formed a few hand signs and prayed to every deity that might be listening for this to work then he saw that the Ean nin had drawn a Tonto and was swinging it down Naruto's eyes widened in horror he knew he wouldn't be able to Dodge in time Jin nadare John and of Ewa and former member of its Hunter n saw the boy beginning hand signs and decided that whatever he was planning he was not going to finish it he drew his Tonto and swung it downward it cut through flesh and Bone leaving a deep d diagonal gash from left collarbone to right hip the boy didn't look like he was in pain it was more disbelieving shock even though Jen hated the Yi with a passion the man killing his father mother and three older siblings he couldn't help but feel a twinge of pity for this kid who probably couldn't understand what was happening nothing personal kid this aims for your father the pain will end in a second with that he slashed the boy's throat the blonde kid collapsing in a gurgling Heap the the girl had tried to open the gate but jyn's Tonto pierced her heart before she managed to pull it open jyn removed the blade and just to be sure slashed her head off with a single strike he was blown back by a chakra wave that burned on the skin but apart from that he was fine he opened the gate and began to run knowing he had only seconds until the burst of chakra would alarm somebody getting out of konaha was fairly easy as the commotion had left every Shinobi on duty confused however 10 minutes into his Escape he realized that he had pursuers they had come faster than he would have liked but realistically speaking he had more Head Start than he himself had expected and he had prepared traps the entire route back to Ewa ranging from exploding tagaras to camouflaged seals that would fire poisoned sbon at those tracking him not to mention a few safe hiding places maybe 20 minutes had passed and the Kahan nin had been steadily gaining on him by now he could actually see FL es of them there was no hyuga which was a huge relief because it meant he could use 20 hiding places that a hyuga would have immediately spotted him in the inua and abam were worrisome and jyn had gained multiple cuts and grazes from projectiles aimed him he didn't give up though because he knew they were nearing the first trap a simple array of 10 exploding tags it would be triggered in just a few boom such a satisfying sound especially when accompanied by the screams of the dying even DEA would not have been able to beat that while he wasn't stupid enough to go look what he hit a rough head count did show that only 15 of the former 40e headed Squad were still on his Trail while his route lead him towards cusa the traps slowly dwindled his pursuers numbers although they had gotten more careful after that first explosion when he put his biggest plan into motion he had gained more ground with maybe seven followers left he reached the river and started to run over it suddenly making an 80 GRE turned to the right jumping into a prepared hole in the muddy Shore and closing it seconds before his pursuers reached the river and ran across there was a short pause while The Trackers searched for his scent until they started running off in the opposite direction jyn had walked that route a 100 times to make sure his s was on the trail it lead to a clearing where a rain of poisoned s Bond would go down on them he had left a communicator there so he could hear when they reached the clearing determined he would not crawl out until they had reached it then the relieving rustling of feet ran through his headset and Jen bolted running on the river for a few seconds before running towards tacki to reach Ewa the hunt had gone on for 2 days now and jyn was starting to use chakra pills and concentrated caffeine tablets to keep moving he listened to the voices in the communicator smiling at what he heard at first only angry calls then surprised cries when the senbon fired one particular piece of information made him grin and gulp at the the same time Kash Sama damn it she's down where are the Medics they went down in that first explosion damn it you too bring Kash Sama to sunade Sama at once you too come with me we're going to get that [ __ ] bastard for this inuzuka do you still got his Trail I think he tricked us the tracks are not as fresh as they should be he lost us at the river jyn kicked into a higher gear Kushina Uzumaki the Red Death usu's in Whirlpool had been hunting him his Escape was a miracle however she was hit by the sbond and from the way it sounded a lot of senbon each of them dipped in a poison that killed in less than an hour they would never make it back to konaha in time getting rid of the last three had been comparably simple he had lead them into a trap that while not fatal covered them in a substance similar to Fresh skunk juice they would never be able to track him now meaning that with the last few traps and Maneuvers to lose he was free as a bird he headed straight for Ewa reaching it 4 days after he had left konaha his welcome was a national heroes the Suchi KAG a firm hater of konaha welcomed him in all honors shortly after IA received the news that kashina Uzumaki had passed away and that the yandi had committed suicide after the loss of his entire family and the ecstatic leader named jyn his successor while beaming with pride the greatest reward was the Adoration of the female gender after a hot night with three gorgeous women jyn finally fell into well-deserved Slumber Kaho was in an uproar how had this happened a as salent from Ewa had sneaked into the namazi compound while the adults were absent and attacked the children namazi compound how did he even get in a dog masked enu asked while looking at the two unmoving bodies of the children the bastard had got them good a tiger masked rookie spoke up Hokage sama suspected that he sneaked in when Kash Sama left the compound to get the groceries she forgot he immediately changed the seals but the damage is done enu nodded so what happened to him tus Shrugged while the children started to stir a highclass Jan Jutsu iiki had a bit of trouble getting him out of it he said the man actually fought to stay in it must have been some dream not that I blame him I want to stay any place where I'm not II's new toy kha spoke up so who put him under it manato Shrugged that's the big question isn't it the Kurama Clan stated that as much as they'd like to take credit none of their members were outside of their compound at the time in question and while we have some who are good in Jutsu Itachi here being one of the first to come to mind they all say they had nothing to do with it nor do they have any idea of what was used it was either forgotten customized or self-made kash's eyes wandered to Naruto and natsuki you don't think one of them Itachi seemed thought it's possible but if so then we have a genjutsu prodigy on our hands enu seemed more hesitant I don't know of course Geniuses like Itachi here exist but they usually get noticed a genjutsu prodigy especially as they have to try their jutu out on people in contrast to Ninjutsu or Tai Jutsu prodigies who can train Alone with nobody watching Itachi nodded true genjutsu users need to practice on others but that doesn't necessarily mean they get noticed if the Jutsu is subtle enough the person may not even know he's under a Jan Jutsu the attacker who is the Insignia of a Janan would have been able to free himself from the Jan Jutsu the Jutsu must have been so subtle he didn't notice he was put under it working with his logic to make sure that he didn't realize he was caught and pleasant enough for him not to try and dispel it out of sheer desperation also some minor injuries must have been ingrained as he has a few wounds that would have dispelled a genjutsu that shows the mind no reason to why there is an injury the Jutsu would have to be at least a b rank maybe a rank to have all these effects Kash shook her head but neither one received such training I taught one really low ranked Jutsu that I had to stop because natsuki was getting more and more upset because she couldn't do it narut did learn it fairly quickly but there are only few Scrolls about Jen Jutsu in the compound and those are never pulled out neither Naruto nor natsuki had any Source on Jen Jutsu so couldn't have been them enu looked at natsuki do you think it could have been the fox manato thought about it well kits sooner known as tricksters and masters of Illusion of course we never heard of caubi having any Jen Jutsu skills but it could be that the fox simply never found itself in a situation where it would need to use them that seems to be the only explanation Itachi was not convinced wouldn't that mean that there should be at least some traces Yuki residue for one there are sections in konaha that we still can't even approach because the stuff still lingering in said sections is so dense and aggressive to living beings like us 5% of konaha have been deemed uninhabitable after the attack and they still are after all these years and you're telling me the fresher Trails vanished in minutes do you have a different explanation kosha asked none so far Itachi admitted still I can't help but think that something we don't know happened here manato Shrugged and I agree but if what you said is true even the E andn won't be able to help us with that as he would not know at which point his memories are a Jan Jutsu Naruto was seething in Anger he had worked months on that one Jen Jutsu making sure it worked just the way he wanted to so that he could finally show something unique to him that his parents could be proud of and now that he had actually activated zeku Sakai driving himself to chakra exhaustion while doing so his sister of all people got the credit it was not fair and of course natsuki didn't deny anything granted she didn't know better but now she walked around with her head even more bloated actually threatening him to put him under her super awesome Jen Jutsu if he didn't do what she wanted narut had laughed her in the face only to be punished when his sister started crying and telling kha he was making fun of her why did NS sui get the credit for everything he worked for all the time while he was being called jealous whenever he tried to set things straight even worse natsuki had found out that their parents and the teachers in the Ninja Academy they had recently started to visit didn't trust Naruto when his and her words stood against each other especially if she had Witnesses so she had started to play pranks and blamed him and of course the other children took her side claiming they saw Naruto do it some other pranksters like kba and isuka had started to do the same thing meaning that narut was slowly gaining a reputation as a troublemaker despite not doing anything wrong it went so far that Naruto considered actually playing a prank on somebody only so that their parents would just for a change yell at him for something he actually did he was sick of hearing why can't you be more like your sister resulting in him once yelling back because I don't want to blame others for what I did or take credit for their actions which had resulted in a week of house arrest really life sucked what Naruto didn't know was that life was about to take another uturn on his seventh birthday and not for the better manado and kha were peacefully sleeping in their bed an actual Western bed instead of a mere futon when their Instinct woke them telling them they were no longer alone the worry was instantly gone when they recognized natsuki's steps before she jumped on them both oof manato called exaggerating the pain natsuki caused when he opened his eyes he saw she was already completely dressed in clothes and thick jacket as winter had come early this year the only thing she wasn't wearing were her shoes as it was not allowed to wear those in the house she smiled at him in Kina and jumped up and down on the bed come on wake up it's almost 9 I want to see my friends let's go let's go let's go let's go let's go manato laughed okay okay we're getting up kha looked at her daughter don't you want to open your presents first mitsuki shook her head newah I can open them later they don't go anywhere I want to see my friends manado and kashina Shrugged and got dressed natsuki jumping around like a rubber ball on a sugar Rush speaking without a single pause urging her parents to hurry up before literally dragging The Laughing adults outside still speaking without Break Meanwhile Naruto blinked as he stood up he had really gone overboard last night he had read through a number of Scrolls that the blonde woman with the diamond on her forehead had forgotten there with a dictionary and an encyclopedia for some of the more complicated words and found a few things that had brought him to put down the basis for two new Jen Jutsu that would be as good or even better better as zeku Sakai it would probably take months until they were done but his first self-made Jen Jutsu had given him a feeling for how it worked and what he had to do so he was confident that he could finish these new ones faster after he had those ideas somewhat worked out he had worked on some seals before falling asleep at 3:00 in the morning then all he would have to do was get his reserves up to a level or performing them would not be a gamble that always left him unconscious and only worked once every five tries Nar had wisely decided to try his genjutsu one more time just to be sure and was disgruntled to learn that he didn't have enough chakra for it and that the first time had probably been a fluke caused by adrenaline increasing the amount of chakra in his body to beyond what was normal and safe of course by now he could do it without fainting but it was extremely draining plus the entire Affair had practically been forgotten already still he was proud with himself and that he kept pushing his limits to surpass them seemed to be working he knew he should have taken it a bit easier on the day before his birthday but it had been so fascinating and it seemed he was still the first one up as he couldn't hear any sound not counting the chirping of birds the swooshing of leaves in the trees the slamming of the front door the wait what Naruto looked out his window and his heart achd at the sight he saw his parents happily laughing with natsuki who was holding their hands and using them as a Swain laughing and talking without rest at that moment Naruto was no longer the Jan Jutsu and fuen Jutsu Prodigy he was no longer the genius that had outmaneuvered a Janan he was simply a recently seven-year-old child that had seen his parents go away without him he didn't even get the idea to open the window and call out to them instead he jumped out of the bed and ran Barefoot and only in his thin pajamas down the stairs in the opposite end of the building into the front door the gate to the compound slamming shut the moment he opened the door Naruto ran as fast fast as he could intending to beat on the door to gain his parents attention he stretched out his left hand to catch the speed and absorbed the impact so that he didn't slam face first into the door the other hand balled to a fist and ready to Slam against the gate however luck was not on Naruto's side today in fact Naruto's luck had taken the day off while Misfortune was working double shifts to catch up with the workload the moment Naruto's left hand touched the gate happened to be the exact moment manado activated the seals in the gate the first seals went up without a problem including the sound blocking seal which ensured that nobody outside could hear what happened inside that seal had been placed there back when Naruto and natsuki had been babies and Ladder had regularly cried the whole neighborhood awake manado had added them to ensure that at least the neighbors got some sleep however as bad luck would have it Naruto's fingers were touching a number of powerful yet for the naked eye invisible seals that should not be connected Ed those seals used Naruto's chakra Pathways apparently believing them to be mere extensions of the array however the influx came from all sides and was simply more than the human body was designed to take blood splashed hitting doorway and ceiling as Naruto's skin ripped open in multiple places he screamed as he felt the pulse of chakra destroy his muscles and crushed the bones in his hand then he was blasted backwards landing on the lawn his arm little more than a bag of flesh bone fragments and unfortunately for Naruto pain receptors through some evil Miracle those had remained relatively intact and were sending Naruto's brain the information that he was in agony manato glanced at his gate with a frown what's wrong honey his wife asked manato looked at her I thought I felt a surge from the gate I'll have to check the seals when we get back I don't want them malfunctioning when we need them the most kosha nodded before natsuki called the attention back to her later dad now we're going to hanas manato nodded of course we are natsuki the gates not going anywhere with that He Turned and Left still a bit concerned about that surge then his wife kissed him and he forgot everything natsuki gagged earning her a playful smack to the back of the head every twitch the slightest movement everything sent waves of unbearable pain through his body Naruto had tried to stay as still as possible while calling for help but after a minute minute of shouting and whimpering he realized that he was wasting his breath as he recalled that there were silencing seals on the walls and gate nobody would hear him he looked at his arm and immediately looked away it looked bad and it was still bleeding profoundly Naruto knew he'd be in trouble if he didn't stop the bleeding so he tried to stand up it took three tries but with inhuman willpower he fought himself to his feet and turned to the house going for the bandages the door was closed Naruto cursed as he tried to open it but the door stayed stubborn what Naruto couldn't have known was that when the gate was sealed shut the house automatically went into lock down all doors and windows closed and were impossible to open until the gate was opened unless they were opened from the inside Naruto had left the door open in his rush to reach his parents and now that it shut there was nobody in the house to let him back in which meant no bandages no medicine no food and what would get a problem later no warm clothing Naruto wasted another 15 minutes circling the house looking for any opening that would Grant him access after finally accepting he was locked out Naruto decided to improvise u a r g he cried as he took off his shirt his arm sending Agony through his body every time the shirt even so much as grazed it the left sleeve had been obliterated when his arm burst so Naruto bit into the right shoulder and tore off the sleeve before with cries of pain tied it tight ly around his arm like a rope to restrict the blood flow in that area then he with great suffering tightly wrapped the rest of the shirt around the bleeding arm as a makeshift bandage the scroll he had read yesterday had said that these measures should be taken as soon as possible and that they had saved lives in the past also it had said something about limbs falling asleep with restricted blood flow meaning that he would no longer feel the limb in question which was good as right now Naruto really didn't want to feel his arm Naruto shivered without his shirt he really felt how cold the day really was but if he stayed in the sun he'd be fine all he had to do was wait just a little time then his parents would be there to save him everything would be fine manato side he had been looking forward to a fairly quiet day chatting with old friends about this and that and sipping on some drinks but it was not to be the tuning exams were coming up and manado had failed to see the consequences for the clan compounds the outside was being used for training and the entire ground was covered with Kai shuriken and the odd senbon meaning that the children had to stay and play inside as in where they were manato and the other parents had to permanently keep an eye on their children and with every compound the group progressed it was getting more hectic in fact things were so hectic that it was by sheer coincident that he had met back up with his wife she gave him a strange smile they're quite a handful aren't they I can't remember any time in the war when I was this stressed she said manato laughed before frowning me neither but I can't shake this odd feeling I'm having like I've forgotten something important kha nodded you too it's on the tip of my tongue but I just can't Nuki Uzumaki namazi put that down this instant said girl pouted but she obediently placed the jar with the powdered adlers back on the Shelf where she got them kha followed her while manado turned to his old friend and current host shikaku Nara I'm really sorry she's too hyper shikaku waved him off don't worry about it all the delicate and expensive stuff is sealed where they can't find it manato nodded and went in the opposite direction his wife had headed there were already six children running around including shukaku's own child who was being dragged by a blonde Eno yamanaka natsuki's presence had to be sealed in a scroll by now when not used and manado really wished for a break the first thing he'd do when they were finally at the actual festival and everyone looked over the kids was getting dead drunk still the odd feeling never left him but manado was kept busy by the steadily growing horde of kids so he shoved the feeling aside accrediting it to the surge in his gate opting to take a look when they were back the bitter irony was that he was partially right Naruto whimpered the sun had traveled further and out of the sun coldness crept forwards within the Shadows he could fade ly see his own breath and that was bad he again fought himself to his feet and gracelessly stumbled to the South Wall using his right hand to support himself on the wall despite the inconvenience he felt miserable for some reason the wounds were still bleeding as the torn shirt on his arm still hadn't dried even worse his arm refused to fall asleep sending Agony with every motion but all moaning wouldn't help him get warm so he stubbornly set one foot in front of the other before leaning against the South wall and slowly sliding to the ground for a while he distracted himself by going over calculations for Jen Jutsu and seals but the more time passed the harder it became to focus he realized he might be in trouble when he noticed that he had to concentrate to multiply 5 m and 7 m to get the area of effect for rectangular fourpoint barrier in M squ he understood that the loss of blood was slowly becoming a problem his first aid being meant is exactly that first aid to prepare for the actual Medics to do their magic and was slowly failing in keeping him up his vision had also started to become slightly blurry Naruto's mind slowly shut down the higher brain functions slowly ceasing to conserve energy he had crawled to the West Wall so that when his parents came in a few minutes at most they would see him more easily and while his mind dimmed more and more one thought went through Naruto's mind again and again it was the same thought that had kept him alive and awake up till now now Mom and Dad will be here soon they'll come for you narut you just have to hang in there for just a little bit longer he didn't even notice when the sun vanished behind the Horizon and a light snow began to fall manato side even directly after the caoi attack when seven meetings a day had been considered little work he had not been so stressed out these kids had sheer Limitless energy and with every house they visited it only got worse the horde of children grew while the adult opted to stay at home reuniting with their offspring at the caubi festival to which they were currently heading he already knew what he would do when he finally could take his eyes off that small army of chaos namely getting [ __ ] drunk he suspected that having to watch all those children alone was some sick punishment the clan heads were subjecting him to because they were unhappy with certain decisions with the council although he couldn't think of one that would warrant such Draconian measures finally the many stands of the festival came into view the setting sun shining through a hole in the clouds letting the falling snow glow in a magical light it was a sight that really lifted the spirits with its beauty he put an arm around kha both smiling until the sound of gagging reminded him of the little plagues he looked at them well what are you waiting for go have fun they were gone before the words had faded away in the noise of the slowly growing crowd manato pumped his fist Freedom suake here we come kha shook her head but she followed him to the stand where a few of their friends were already waving at them the rest of the evening belonged strictly to the adults and nothing that even faintly involved someone below 15 would be mentioned unless the person in question was a stranger to most or a Shinobi that could be embarrassed with stories about old times life was good the entire world had become nothing but a dark blur the silence was deafening only his weak breathing cutting through the absolute quiet everything was so cold Naruto couldn't see it but the snow falling on him had gradually stopped melting his legs and shoulders now looking whitish while a white cap seemed to have formed on his head his body was already too weak and exhausted to shiver and still one thought kept Naro clinging to life even as his body was slowly shutting down they'll be here shortly hang on just a little bit longer natsuki was sitting on her father's lap rocking back and forth she had had a lot of fun at the festival so far playing the games like like ring tossing which was completely different from her shuriken training or catching goldfish she could then keep as pets and the food was great of course nothing beat ichiraku but the cotton candy sugar roasted almonds and all the other sweets had come close now they were sitting under umbrellas waiting for the real highlight the fireworks the festival was great but seeing the sky illuminated by a thousand colors was always the best thing if only she weren't so tired it was long past her bed time but since the academy was nice enough to get the day after the festival off as well the children could stay up and watch the fireworks without being zombies in the class the following morning natsuki smiled as she chatted with her friends who were sitting around them with their respective parents her dad smelled a little like sake but it was okay she looked at him Dad how long until the fireworks how long how long how long how long manado smiled in 54 the entire crowd had started to join the 3 2 1 Boom the fireworks had begun exactly at the time manado had sealed the Beast midnight everyone laughed cheered and congratulated each other everyone except for one the booming and the sudden eruptions of color in the blur of Naruto's Vision had pulled Naruto out of his trance although he could not see the fireworks blooming in the sky like giant flowers his mind instinctively knew what it was it was midnight his birthday was over his body shivered snow falling off his weakly twitching Head and Shoulders he was much too weak to laugh but hollowed Chuckles escaped his lips as he understood they forgot me they forgot I existed he knew that his parents had occasionally forgotten about him for moments when stressed probably because narut had somehow had gained the ability to merge with the background and become invisible not to mention that natsuki hogged and hoarded all available attention like a miser hoarded money but he had never thought it was this bad for the first time since he woke up narut cried the fireworks had lasted almost half an hour but now they were over manato looked at his daughter well natsuki time to leave his daughter pouted do we have to she caught her mother's look and quickly added just asking suddenly a poof rang through the air and a giant toad appeared a white- AED man writing it j i r a y a the toad sage has arrived he called and the parents quickly Sheed the weapon they had instinctively drawn Uncle jariah natsuki shouted jumping at the man who sometimes visited and always told her funny stories manato smiled you're back in town Sensei looks like I have to reinforce the guards around the hot springs so how long have you been here Jah laughed just arrived I couldn't very well just pass konah without giving natsuki here her birthday present natsuki looked up with sparkling eyes you have something for me he ruffled her hair of course I do who do you think I am an uncorrectable pervert kha answered jariah clutched his chest in mocked pain you wound me kashina however since I smell the alcohol on you both I'll let it slide natsuki was impatiently pulling on his leg so what's my present jariah puffed his chest well your parents told me that you have incredible chakra reserves so I will grant you the honor the once in a lifetime opportunity to sign the toad contract natsuki's eyes widened then she jumped up and down in Joy yay I get to be just like Daddy jariah shook his head summoned the toad that held the contract and unrolled it now natsuki a Summoning contract is special you have to sign your name yes your full name with your blood and then leave a handprint in blood then you get to summon toads just like me and your father mitsuki had frowned when she heard she had the sign with her own blood but she quickly got over it and open her hand to write in blood once she finished she looked at jariah how do I summon jariah smirked now that is for your father to tell you he'll decide when you're ready for it natsuki pouted no fair she shouted but she ran off to brag to her friends jariah laughed again before looking around well mitsuki got her present so where is the other one the quiet little blonde all color drained from kha and vado's faces Naruto kha wh whispered we left him at home he probably destroyed the house by now manado tried to joke but his face told of his shock jariah blinked what do you mean you left him alone I heard that he seems to be a troublemaker but don't you think it's a little cruel to punish him on his birthday kha shook her head we didn't punish him we forgot jariah blinked he didn't believe his ears you forgot your own son on his birthday manato seemed completely disturbed by himself I we when we woke up nits sui so much chaos had to look everywhere at once there was never a moment's quiet a [ __ ] he turned towards the compound kashina having retrieved nsuk in the meantime and together they ran to the namazi compound manado had somewhat regained his cool by then he looked at kosha well what will we give as an excuse Kash smiled weakly he probably won't forgive us this until he graduates we have to make it up to him some manato chuckled although it sounded a bit strange how about we don't punish for demolishing the house which he has likely done by now kosha sent him a stern look I'm serious manado he's going to be terribly upset and he has every right to be how could we forget him now manato sobered I don't know we woke up still half asleep and natsuki practically dragged us out the front door into her friends the most exhausting because hyper once first we never had a real Moment's Peace until the festival and at that point we wanted and did knowly forget the fact that children even existed it's not really an excuse but nobody else mentioned him before jariah kha frowned Naruto acts so shy he always stays in the background even though he's there he doesn't act like he's there I don't think he has many friends none of the children even ask where Naruto was doesn't that make you worry manato nodded he was about to say more but they had reached the gate manato looked at it slightly worried his instincts told him that he didn't want to see what was behind that gate he had had that feeling before and the room he had entered then had been plastered with exploding notes jiah noticed his hesitation what's wrong stealing yourself for the sight of the ruins of your house or are you worried that he might have booby trapped the gate manado shook his head no well that too but I'm getting a bad Vibe and I just remembered that there seemed to have been a slight surge in the gate when I closed it this morning but letun go in Kai the seals blowed and manato got a short report no windows or doors were opened during the duration of lockdown apparently Naruto had decided to let out his anger indoors he opened the gate and fell into Panic before he even looked inside jiah had smelled the breeze the moment the compound was no longer hermetically sealed and immediately rendered mitsuki unconscious something was very wrong if the coppery smell of blood was any indication and he didn't think natsuki should see whatever it was Kushina gagged at the smell before rushing through the gate it took all her effort not to scream there were bloody handprints just the size of a seven-year-olds hands going from the front door which seemed to have a number of scratches where someone had apparently tried to open it the prince made a trail on the wall leading around the compound kashina rushed off while manado stared in shock no door opened no window opened they all closed and locked down and can't be opened from the outside the gate can't be opened period but where did all the blood come from jiah looked around he noticed the scratches on the inside of the main gate and he saw the splatters of Blood on the frame manato look at this there's blood on the frame even the ceiling you said there was a surge on the gate could it be he touched the seals when you activated them manato looked at his former teacher his mind apparently still unable to puzzle together what was going on I but it's possible but then a heartbreaking scream interrupted them coming from the left side of the house manado and jiah dashed the latter taking note that the ground beneath the oddly reddish brown snow was sticky kha was holding her child which she had found leaning on the west wall of the compound he had according to the blood on the wall including larger stains where he had rested apparently gone with the sunlight to stay warm while that was an admirable show of strength when when she had found him Naruto had been draped in a thin sheet of white his eyes were dull and unfocused tears leading their marks on the inhumanly pale skin kha wailed holding her son rocking back and forth when her husband arrived she looked up nameless Terror was etched on his face Cammy in heaven have mercy he whispered jariah looked between the two of them before loudly clapping his hands what are you two doing we have to get him to sunade now jiah himself was the most upset one of them all admittedly his contact with the boy now that he thought about it had been non-existent but he could honestly say that he had no fault in what happened to the boy he had been the one and shamefully for all Clans that were visited the first and only one to ask about nut's whereabouts although if he was honest he only remembered when he had let natsuki sign the contract not wanting to look like he preferred a sibling to the other when they arrived at the hospital where sunade always resided in such situations because there was always someone usually a two to three digited number of someones who drank more than they could stomach said blonde dropped a glass she had been holding letting it shatter on the floor what the hell did you do with the kid she asked enraged she glared at jariah if you had anything to do with this said man quickly raised his hands in defense I had no part in it I just got here 10 minutes ago kha still clutching her lifeless son looked at Tsunade I beg you save my son sunade looked at her I want an explanation later she moved a chakra covered hand to Naruto's head then to his chest after prying him out of kash's arms and putting him on a stretcher with attached mobile table don't ask me how but he's still alive she tore open the jacket wrapped around Naruto's arm not that it could be identified as such and her eyes widened dear Camy she muttered before her eyes widened his heartbeats fading we're losing him she placed her hand hands on the boy's chest sending weak bursts of lightning chakra to keep the heart going before looking at the nearest doctor prep me a room ASAP he won't last much longer the man nodded and ran sunade and a squad of Medics attracted by the commotion rolling Naruto after him his parents and jiah were not allowed beyond the reception after nearly 10 hours of surgery both Shinobi style and old-fashioned sunade returned to the waiting parents jariah had gone and parked natsuki and at the yamanaka household stating that a private emergency made it impossible for natsuki to stay at the namazi compound for a day or two that was actually true and he had left before any questions could be asked kashena jumped up and rushed to the blonde woman how is he please sunade tell me he's okay sunade snorted he's far from okay but fine I'll fill you in on the details before I demand my explanation about what happened she took a deep breath he was heavily injured to be precise his left arm was nearly bled dry and suffering from hypothermia to a ridiculous extent in his limbs the body temperature was just barely above freezing the surface temperature of his skin in some cases even below freezing by All rights and every medical text in the history of mankind the boy should be dead but we've stabilized him what was one of the reasons for his heavy blood loss was that some foreign chakra was stuck in the wounds and prevented the blood from clotting the boy will live and surprisingly there is no damage to his brain that's where the good news ends manato who had slumped together in relief looked at her why there is no mental damage as you say and knowing you he'll make a full recovery you fixed worse sunade shook her head no I haven't and I said there was no brain damage there will probably be tons of mental damage the wounds had been open for hours as far as I could tell and the boy must have been conscious to cling to life for that long so I can honestly say he'll never be the same again kha bit her lip can't we remove the traumatizing memory sunade shook her head not without altering his entire mind this will leave physical changes and looking at those will make him wonder where he got them which will destroy any block we put up in short time unless you want to alter every memory in his head to make him think he's always been like that it's useless and even then there's no guarantee it'll actually hold as we can't delete memories only suppress them manato looked at her what physical changes sunade let out a deep sigh his career as a Shinobi is almost certainly over jariah looked up why sunade looked at him had you brought the boy in immediately or at least one or two hours ago I probably would have been able to get him back to almost completely functioning condition but when you brought him I had to chose between saving his arm and saving his life manado paled what do you mean sunade gave him a stern look whatever happened to his arm it was bad the bones in his hand up to the Elbow are completely shattered all muscles are shredded most blood vessels heavily damaged also since the boy restricted the blood circulation to that arm something that saved his life a lot of tissue has simply died what the boy did was obviously only supposed to last for a few minutes an hour at most all in all that arm is little more than grinded meat with splinters the skin had multiple large tears so the arm lost Mass all that I can probably fix in a week or so however the real damage was done to his chakra coils jariah looked at her no shred of his usual cheerfulness in his eyes damage to the coils was always bad those were the lifeline of a Shinobi and if there was something wrong especially in such a vital area as the hand the Shinobi in question was a Sitting Duck unable to use any Jutsu requiring hand signs how bad is it sunade looked away they're completely shattered all the way up to the shoulder those can't be fixed and even if by some miracle they do regrow it will be severely crippled his left arm will never again mold chakra also the nerves responsible for movement were also damaged it is almost certain that he will never again be able to move his left arm properly she gave a stern look to all three who shrank under her glare whatever you did it left Naruto a [ __ ] sunade was sitting in her office kha and Jah sitting before her all terrible nervous because of the twitch on tsunade's brow so let me see if I got this straight when you two woke up last morning natsuki was hopping around on your bed rushing you to hurry up so that she could see her friends in your drowsy State of Mind you got dressed and left with her completely forgetting that Naruto was sleeping only a few feet away has something like this ever happened before he occasionally forgetting your quiet son in favor of your loud daughter on the list of things you do or did you just pick a lousy time to try something new sarcasm was dripping from her voice kha sobbed but nodded it may have happened once or twice Naruto is just so quiet you completely forget he's there especially with natsuki around that part sunade couldn't deny as she herself had once taken 5 minutes to notice narut was there when the namazi family had come to her for a checkup anyways you sealed the compound when you left to ensure that no assassin sneaks in while you're away and hides to kill you in your sleep like that man from eway a few months ago while sealing the gate manato you noticed a surge in the chakra flow you didn't investigate why manato looked uncomfortable a Spiker surge in a seal aray is usually the first warning that one of the seals is fading either because the surface it was applied on is wearing down or because the ink is fading off however it is not necessarily a cause for alarm especially not when there have been no prior surges as it is merely a warning that one of the seals is not in perfect condition when the first surge comes that is a sign that you should check the array out in the next few months or something might fail I had planned to thoroughly inspect the seals on my free day tomorrow also the surge was weak and gone as soon as it came which indicates only a minor defect when I made a rudimentary analysis the flow was just how it was supposed to be so I figured that the damage must have been minor at worst also not only the gates but the walls in my entire house are connected through that array which means there are almost 10.00 individual seals that I would have to carefully analyze to find the damaged seal as The Surge was weak and didn't give any indication of where I would have to look to find the problem which means that it would have taken hours to find the problem which at the moment I really didn't want to spend crawling into all dusty corners of the compound to check the seals while my wife enjoyed the day alone and after the incident with the e then I added a second array of Security Seals working independently from the main array anyone not keyed into the system who would enter the compound would have been knocked out and kept unconscious and paralyzed until I woke him up for interrogation and I activated that system before leaving and it was working perfectly so I didn't see a danger in leaving the surge alone for a day Jah nodded that is how it works a surge would suggest that one looks over his arrays but if it is the first time it happens you generally have around half a year until any real problems show narut should be grateful then that you didn't decide to camp out for a few months and manato did you at least remember to key narut into that system or did you forget him too while you worked on the seals sunade asked in a sneer now manato was offended of course he is keyed in sunade SED anyways you then visited a dozen or so compounds and because all the children running around there you didn't have time to think of Naruto even when you visit the yamanaka their blonde hair did not remind anyone that you had a son with the same hair color correct and nobody in any of the compounds asked where Naruto was either or even had a present for him is that right slow nods answered her she took a deep breath and then you went to the festival where practically the entire Village welcomed you and again nobody thought of Naruto you let the kids run around and when you had your free and calm moment you all decided to get shitfaced and pretend children did not exist is that right and jiah who I know has been in the country for at least 3 days decided he'd rather go peep on women in the hot springs rather than visit his God children meanwhile Naruto got his arm shredded by your aray because he touched the gate his family had closed in front of his face and spent his entire birthday bleeding into the yard and let's not forget the only present he got that day the ones locked up in your compound don't count was a crippling injury in the end of his career as a Shinobi long before it officially began again is that about sum it up all three looked at each other it sounded horrible when Tsunade said it like that but they couldn't really say anything because that was essentially what happened so they slowly nodded sunade looked ready to explode but with inhuman effort she managed to rain her temper in she took a deep calming breath name one reason why I should not pick up this desk and whack you all with it until you look like triplets she pinched her nose before turning to the door shison I don't don't care what you think about it I need sake right now as it turned out shizun had been eavesdropping and for once actually agreed with sunade when [ __ ] like this happened alcohol was a good friend to lean on she brought a bottle and two cups one for sunade and one for herself she wasn't a heavy drinker but you don't spend years with Tsunade without learning how to hold your liquor sunade finished her first cup in one go before looking at the downcast parents plus Godfather you've caused a wonderful mess now you deal with it you three decide which one of you gets to explain to narut that he'll never be Shinobi and especially why with that she stood up and left silence rained in the room after the door closed slowly Naruto opened his eyes the ceiling was unfamiliar but somehow he didn't really care he felt hollow inside he tried to sit up but dropped back into the cushions realizing that it was feudal he felt weak horribly weak had natsuki crawled into his bed again no he was alone also this wasn't his room so he couldn't be in his bed why was he here then it slowly came back to him he remembered seeing his parents laughing happily while accompanying natsuki outside without even thinking about him he remembered running to the gate then pain unbearable pain in his arm the rest was a blur but one more thing he did remember he remembered how colors had erupted in his field of vision breaking through Darkness a loud booms broke the silence that rained for what seemed like an eternity he had laid there on the ground and for the entire day for his entire birthday and nobody had come for him his parents had just let him lay there and bleed out that natsuki didn't say anything even if she remembered wouldn't surprise Naruto she was becoming unbearable still a part of him could not believe what had happened that part was dying off quicker than his blutt and of a sister could devour a bowl of ramen but a part of him had still held this believe of the parents that would always be there when you really needed them and that part was crushed narut looked down on his right arm it was in a cast well he had suspected that bones were broken when his wrist and fingers had bent backwards the second time he sat down to rest in the sun good thing that for all his genjutsu but zeku Sakai he no longer needed hand signs well he needed eye contact concentration and some obvious gesture to get it to work and they were only low ranking ones but a success was was a success even more so since Naruto was now on his own while he knew that his parents who had to have brought him here as they were the only ones who could open the gate would probably not discard him from this point on the only person Naruto would trust and rely on was Naruto never again would he give anyone a chance to betray him like his parents had in speak of the devil the door opened and two patches of yellow and red with two people attached to them entered Naruto's field of vision strangely the s of his parents filled Naruto with no more emotion than he had before if anything his emotions seemed to fade away manato and Kina entered the room to their surprise narut was awake something sunade had said she was not sure if it would happen within the year depending on how long Naruto's mind would need to get over the shock was his almost immediate Awakening a good sign for his recovery or was it bad that it only took a few hours to get over the feeling of being effectively abandoned by his parents in his greatest hour of need manato gulped hi Naruto the boy didn't answer he simply laid in the bed sunade had said that the boy would probably feel extremely weak because of the amounts of blood he had lost so it was unlikely he'd be sitting up if he woke up earlier than the day after tomorrow but the silence was unnerving kha tried again how are you feeling Naruto's brow raised a fraction of an inch kha cursed herself it was a stupid question narut looked at her with those strangely empty eyes how long he finally asked kha blinked how long until what until my arm is healed Naruto replied kosha and manato exchanged a glance each not wanting to be the bearer of the news manato grimaced before slowly replying it'll take time a lot of time I'm afraid for now you may want to learn how to operate with one arm Naruto slowly nodded if his suspicion was correct the bones in his arm were probably little more than splinters and he had a feeling that a number of those splinters had left his arm with the blood fixing all that would probably take weeks and then he had to go through Rehabilitation all in all months would probably pass before he was back to normal kosha fidgeted Naruto sweetie please speak with us she pleaded this silence was more than she could take narut looked at her fine where were you last night kha looked as if she had just been slapped a i Naruto gave both her and his father a cold look I waited but you did not come the fireworks went off and you still weren't there with that he closed his eyes and let himself fall into the darkness the conversation finished from his point of view kha was pale as a ghost her lips moved but no sound escaped them narut had really stayed conscious the entire time until midnight suffering through what Tsunade had said could only have been living hell waiting for them manato equally pale took his wife's shoulder he tried to speak but his mouth was so dry it took him three tries I I don't think he wants to see us right now kha nodded and they left that night neither of them slept 3 Days Later Naruto was cleared by sunade to go home with clear instructions of taking it easy not doing any strenuous activity for longer than 5 minutes putting absolutely no pressure on the arm and not try and channel chakra with it narut nodded understanding the need of leaving the arm alone to heal of course that didn't mean he would just sit back and watch his muscles degenerate he would do bits of light exercise and continue with his genjutsu he would not Channel any chakra into his left arm the doctor didn't say such things without a reason after all but the rest of his body was fair game and seals were something he could work on without putting strain on his body good thing he was right-handed his calligraphy would not be impaired by this circumstance and he could still draw and paint he had started latter recently and it had taken him a while to figure out how to mix colors and create a picture without making a mess out of both himself and the canvas and he needed more practice but nobody could say he had no Hobbies outside of ninja work it was also a perfect disguise as artists were some of the few people who wandered everywhere and roused no suspicion when looking around or checking out places in detail during the next week he improved on both his art although those did not last as he managed to make a for his standards complicated array that summoned the paint back into their jars when Naruto was done giving him both the opportunity to practice without wasting paint or canvases thus saving money and doing so in secrecy as whenever manado and kha entered all they saw was a blank canvas or remain of something that Naruto so they believed once planned to start but never really did it also kept Everything clean which was another plus still his arm was a bother right now it didn't hurt but it was a handicap that barred him from a few things he wanted to do not only unarmed combat but swordsmanship and what left a bitter taste in his mouth despite not really expecting anything from his parents anymore Jutsu lessons with only one hand he couldn't form the hand signs needed for new Jutsu meaning that Suki was slowly starting to get ahead of him in those aspects especially now that his parents could completely focus on her during those lessons and correct her mistakes remembering when he had come for the usual lessons only to be sent away still upset Naruto not that he showed it to anyone flashback he had been about enter the dojo but his mother stood before him looking regretful I'm sorry narut but right now you're in no condition for Sword Play narut was upset why not kha side narut I'm not trying to be mean but you're not in a condition to fight your left side is a obvious weakness you can't defend you can't even correctly hold a sword please understand it's just not possible Naruto's expression turned emotionless and whose fault is that he asked bitterly Ken's lips moved but whatever she had wanted to say got stuck in her throat Naruto turned away never mind he muttered I understand perfectly he walked away somehow he was not very surprised when a few hours later his father stopped him when he moved to Jutsu practice saying because of his arm he couldn't participate although it filled him with an even deeper bitterness as one-handed hand signs existed and narut knew manato knew they existed although manato had no idea that Naruto knew he had spat out something similar to what he' said to kashina and left manato and kosha met up in the evening and knowing that Naruto that Naruto was upset they tried to gather the courage to tell him the truth that his arm would never really heal and that he couldn't be a Shinobi that they had canceled his lessons to prevent him from going on a rampage or run off to live as a ronin or something like that was something they didn't even admit to themselves although they were both worried without any real ability or skill they knew that Naruto would be less likely to run off and get himself killed as he was smart still neither could shake a bad feeling end of flashback but that was not to say that manato and kashin didn't look out for narut quite the opposite after he returned home there was constantly at least one of them around him unless it was time for the now solely devoted to natsuki training or Shinobi duties looking out for him and offering assistance wherever he may need it well a week ago that would have been the Fulfillment of Naruto's Wildest Dreams things had changed and now Naruto was getting annoyed by them buzzing around him because of their guilty conscience honestly he began wishing they would just act like they had before and leave him alone to spend time with his sister as he really didn't want to see their faces that's not to say he didn't use opportunities when they arose as on the first day home he had asked his father for written permission to use the library and got it the man had been on such a guilt trip when seeing his son dragging his body into the house the left arm little more than a club-shaped mess of bandages that he probably would have even signed his own execution narut had used that permission as a reason to spend as much time as possible out of the house most of it in the library but he also simply wandered through konaha it gave him some much needed relief from his family although the Anu were getting annoying speaking of his family natsuki was slowly getting unbearable she was smart enough not to do anything but send dirty looks while her parents were in earshot but when alone she was getting really nasty while she couldn't blame any pranks on him right now she kept taking shots at his injury and kept bragging that she could still take lessons something that actually got under his skin however there was something going on that he didn't know about the first indication was when narut had been walking around and accidentally stumbled upon a training ground where a group of the main branch of the hyuga clan were currently practic practicing their techniques he had paused to look at the display it was after all the greatest of all Tai Jutsu of konaha assuming one compared the damage they could cause on a specific level of proficiency with the style no other ta Jutsu style allowed its user to cause the same degree of damage at little training of course after standing there for a few minutes one of the hyuga had looked his way at first he seemed angry but after looking at him closely his eyes filled with something that could almost be described as pity and he and all others just went on with their training ignoring him what Naruto didn't know was that the news of the hokage's son being permanently crippled and was now unable to become a Shinobi since he was unable to even mold chakra correctly had spread throughout the village although nobody talked of it often and the children had no idea and as is usual with rumors this one like many others before it spiraled out of control until everyone believed Naruto was unable to produce chakra or even feel his arm so the hyuga and all others he would observe in the next week saw him not as someone spying on their training but as a broken figure that out of a masochistic craving watched others practice what was forever out of his reach just so that he could feel some connection to the Shinobi life ironically the harshest Clans the hyuga and the ucha were the most tolerant of his existence both pitying him for the loss of what they considered the most precious gift the ability to properly move one's body and the ability to use chakra and leaving him alone as long as he didn't bother anyone after all what harm could one boy do they didn't teach him any secrets he could spill not that it was likely he would even if they did as he was the son of the hokagay what could it hurt to let him watch Naruto didn't understand what was going on but he would not look a gift horse in the mouth as he observed other Shinobi training in their art as an artist and a Jan Jutsu Prodigy even if unacknowledged he had an eye for details and a sharp mind that could analyze almost anything so as he watched the Shinobi fight he learned he saw how they moved in combat how they used their bodies to put maximum power into their attacks how they aimed for the points that would do the most damage how they held themselves when they threw different weapons how they held and moved their swords and what basic principles allowed the different techniques to work he also memorized hand signs picking the Jutsu apart to see how they worked just because he intended to be a genjutsu and seal Master didn't mean he had to be helpless if he for whatever reason was not able to use either however with his careful observation he was slowly gaining another ability that he himself did not know about but would perfect in the following months and years from looking how people moved how they held themselves into a certain degree how their chakra flowed his ability as a sensor was weak but it was there he would eventually be able to evaluate a person's Talent determining what training would be best for minutes of observation but that would not come until after he left konaha but even though he did did so much he neither neglected his seal workor nor his Jutsu it was amazing just how much knowledge the library contained and even though little of it was actual techniques it turned out that non-clan Shinobi and even a few Clan Shinobi had left Scrolls about different theories and rules on all types of Jutsu including a few Scrolls on the finer workings of Fu and Jutsu written by manado namazi himself in the library for public viewing of course Naruto was not foolish enough to take anything he read at face value and always made sure he was not working with some absurd Theory before incorporating it into his work his understanding of seals was now on a level where even manato and Jah themselves would be pressed to find a rule that Naruto didn't know of course when it came to practical application in the creation of seals they were light years ahead of Naruto but he now knew enough that he could soon start with seal crafting and although he knew enough to start with small low power seals to avoid blowing himself up on accident he had a few ideas that he had developed when he was crippled his first idea would be basic but if it worked it could revolutionize the ninja world it would be 12 seals located on basically random locations on the body what made them special were that they would be the equal to the 12 hand signs meaning that a Shinobi simply had to charge the seals he wanted to with chakra and he could use any Jutsu while having both hands free to fight enemies and give them no warning he was about to blast them with something the second idea was built on the first one if it was possible to use seals as hand signs and Naruto was sure it was possible then why not put an entire seal sequence into a seal allowing the user to activate a Jutsu with just sending the necessary amount of chakra into the seal which would take less than a second compared to maybe even 20 depending on the length of the sequence and the skill and speed of the Caster perhaps even some additional seals to hide the sequence seal when not used so that someone knowledgeable with seals could not read the Jutsu by simply seeing the seal when inactive on the field of Jen Jutsu Naruto had managed to complete and sealess activate it it was not as strong or draining as zeku Sakai nor was it as intricate with the hallucinations it caused but it wasn't supposed to be meura was not designed to be flashy or give its victim a false world to live in it had one simple purpose the user would not be noticed when used all others simply didn't realize he was there they would subconsciously walk around him to avoid bumping into him but they would not realize why they did it or even that they did it even better not only was the user unnoticeable but so were indications that he was there to give an example they wouldn't just overlook him but Footprints made by him on a muddy Road of course it wasn't perfect assuming he activated a security system that raised an alarm the people would notice the alarm and realize there was something wrong although they would not directly see him at that point they would assume there was a gen Jud and dispel it also if he slapped someone they would feel it and again know he was there even if they couldn't immediately locate him so it couldn't be used for assassination or at least he'd needed different trick to escape the crime scene still it was invaluable when walking around the village without the anoo on his heels although he didn't dare enter Clan compounds or the hokage's Tower with it his efforts to cast Jen Jutsu using a catalyst other than side were currently not going so well but he knew it would take time by now his bones had healed thanks to the blonde woman with the big chest that regularly checked on him in the hospital but to his frustration the nerves had apparently been damaged and he could barely move his arm from the elbow down nor could he Channel any chakra through it though on the bright side he had made a few friends on his wanderings through the village granted they were a bit unusual but he preferred their company to that of other humans he was slowly getting sick of all the pitiful looks flashback it was one of Naruto's first walks few days before he'd stumble onto the training ground he didn't really have any said destination as he didn't feel like going to the library today so he more or less just walked where his feet led him simply wanting to get as far away from his family as he currently could eventually when he walked into a dead end he decided it was time for a break he looked around and finding a bakery he bought himself a small loaf of bread it wasn't much but Naruto had not taken his wallet and was limited to a bit of have spared change in his pocket and that bread was not only the cheapest thing it was really the only thing he could currently afford so he sat down on a crate that was placed nearby right at the entrance of that dead end he had walked into a few minutes earlier nibbling on the sweetened bread while going over different ideas for his genjutsu and fuen Jutsu his train of thought was interrupted by a squeaking noise coming from his right from the dead end alarmed he looked but there was nothing there he was just about to try and cancel a gen Jutsu when he heard another squeak he looked down and found a rat gray with a white spot between its eyes looking at him more precisely the bread in his hand nose twitching Naruto tilted his head unlike many others he wasn't afraid of rats or spiders or cockroaches for that matter he didn't understand why his family's faces scrunched in disgust when they saw the brown insects or why Nuki would start screaming when she saw one they were insects or arachnids but that was beside the point they were harmless most of them anyways and there was no reason to panic and how come people screamed at cockroaches but went all oo and awe when they spotted a butterfly a ladybug or a firefly and why was a rat gross but a mouse was cute there wasn't that much of a difference narut turned to the rat it quickly ran backwards but after a minute it carefully peaked out of its hiding spot and inched towards him twitching nose ahead narut smiled somehow he felt a bit related to that rodent he was in the family but he was not really a part of it just like this rat was there in the great family of konaha as the villagers sometimes had the G to call it yet it was not really wanted an odd sense of comrad ship Rose in Naruto something he had never felt before maybe it was because this rat was not a human there were no expectations so there was no way to be betrayed Naruto looked at the rat then at his bread before holding on to it with his teeth needing his only good hand to hold the in place while he tore a piece out he set the bread on his lap took the piece in his hand and held it to the rat here the rat seemed like all wild animals distrusting at first but eventually hunger went out and it started gnawing on the bread Naruto letting it go to ensure his fingers wouldn't accidentally become part of the menu after it and Naruto had finished the rat ran away however when Naruto wandered the streets the next day even though he walked a completely different route when sat down with a bit of food to take a break there was a rat with a white spot between the eyes looking at him this time with two others Naruto's sweat dropped seriously okay shirou he decided to call the rat that because of its White Spot let's make this clear okay I don't mind if I share food with you and a few friend of yours but I'm not going to become your family's main food supplier are we clear he knew just how fast a rat population could grow the rat didn't react still looking at the food although if narut Didn't Know Better he'd say it was trying to look cute Nar sighed and tossed him his share it went on like this Naruto eventually resorting to taking food out of the compound with him to share with his new friends at least the rat seemed to somewhat understand him as while the numbers of rats changed every day there were never more than seven however it seemed he was attracting other omnivores as after the first weeks he had fallen into a routine of reading in the library or watching training sharing lunch with his new friends then doing the thing he had not done before lunch either the library or observation depending on what day it was and who was training went when he walked to a quiet place where he and the Rats could eat in peace not only did four rats crawl out of the bushes but three crows or maybe they were Ravens landed in front of his feet Naruto blinked what was this about but the rats didn't seem to mind as shirou and the others had barely looked up when they came Naruto looked at what he brought this time slight pces of apple he looked at the animals I have no idea what's going on here and I don't really care but I don't want to be caught in any fighting so you split your share between yourselves peacefully in the back of his mind he was starting to wonder if his brain had taken any damage when he got zapped here he was sitting on a rock in the outskirts of the forest surrounding the training ground talking to animals while putting a plastic plate he had bought for that purpose full of fruit on the ground and watching them tear into it Naruto had shrug rugged it off and just accepted that he'd be feeding the birds together with the rodents from now on it wasn't that surprising that when a new and easy source of food made itself available the Scavengers would come flocking although he decided to draw a line if straight cats and dogs started following him thankfully though that didn't happen and Naruto found that he actually relaxed in the company of his furry and Feathered Friends end of flashback Naruto eventually realized that he liked his lunches with the animals more than his dinners with the family those had been extremely awkward as both manato and kha had tried to start a conversation with him only to realize they had nothing to really talk about as they knew nothing of his Hobbies of what he liked to do they knew he spent time reading and recently heard he seemed to be getting along with birds but there were few topics of discussion they could share with him to make matters worse natsuki was being a worse Brad than usual so manado and kha had little choice but to focus more and more attention on her to keep her out of trouble than on their son who apparently didn't want it and spent more time outside than with them so within two to 3 months things had slowly returned to how they'd been before Naruto's meura helping a bit although he used it very sparsely on his parents natsuki had been under it practically non-stop since the day narut had completed it manado and kosha did give him more attention than before and tried to make up with him at least three times a week and although Naruto didn't like it he felt that he was slowly getting he couldn't call it forgiving but he was more tolerant of them a part of him apparently still wanting to trust his parents who really did make an effort narut had gone to bed in a good mood his arms seemed to be getting better as he had managed to grab a plastic cup with it and drink granted the entire thing took almost half a minute but narut saw it as a good sign he had known that progress would be slow admittedly he hadn't thought it' take this long and any progress was better than no progress as it showed he was on the road to recovery looking back this entire mess had not only been bad for Naruto as without it not only would he be not even close to his current level with seals as the library's knowledge would have been beyond his grasp but he would also never have thought of a number of ideas he had come up with that would make things easier for those who had lost lims whether arms hands or just fingers granted he hadn't managed to actually complete those ideas but he had a concept which meant by his still childlike logic that the Lion Share of the world was done he didn't know that manato had needed four years after coming up with the concept of the hiran to work out all the details and actually complet it but still narut fell asleep with a Content smile dreaming of what he would do once he was finally back to normal he had no idea that what would follow his next Awakening would change his life forever finally guys this is over if you enjoy it then please like share and do comments
