What If Minato ABANDONED Naruto For Menma?

Yo, can't wait for the ending. Parts three and four are already live on my booie. Plus, I dropped the uncensored, brutal director's cut of today's story that YouTube won't let me show. All for just $1. Link in description. Picture a perfect world. A timeline where the fourth Hokag never died. Where Kusha is alive baking cookies every morning. Ideally, this should be paradise, right? wrong. Because in this timeline, twins were born. Menma, the loud, strong ninetailes gingeri, the chosen one, and Naruto, the quiet kid with low chakra reserves. The failure. The parents made a choice. They poured all their love into the savior and turned the second son into a ghost in his own home. But they made a fatal mistake. They thought strength only comes from a tailed beast. They didn't know that a real monster wasn't growing in a cage. He was growing in the silence of an empty room upstairs. And today, that monster wakes up to burn their perfect world to the ground. Let's get into it. Chapter 1. The forgotten birthday. October 10th. The Hokag mansion is lit up like a Christmas tree. The entire elite of Kohaa is here popping bottles for men and namikes. He's turning seven. Manato gives him a custom flying rajin kunai. Kusha is hugging him, calling him her little hero. The third Hokag is patting his back. But where is Nar? He's in the backyard in the freezing rain sitting on a swing watching his family celebrate through a fogged up window. Dot. There's a cold dinner on his desk upstairs. They literally forgot him again. Happy birthday to me, Naruto whispers. His eyes aren't sad, they're empty. In seven years, he has learned that tears are useless. Dot. He hops off the swing. He's not crying. He's bored. He heads deep into the forest and pulls out a rusty canai he found in a dumpster. Thwack thwack thwack point 10 out of 10 bullse eyes. Blindfolded, Nar isn't weak. He just doesn't have massive chakra batteries like his brother. So he mastered perfect absolute control. Suddenly a twig snaps. Naruto spins around throwing a canai instantly. Eep. A little girl with white eyes steps out freezing as the blade hits the tree right next to her ear. Hinata Huga. She ran away from the party because her dad called her weak in front of everyone. You almost killed me, she whispers, shaking. I missed on purpose. Nar replies coldly. What is the Huga princess doing in the mud? They don't like me either, she admits, looking down. My father says I'm a failure. Naruto looks at her. Game recognizes Game. Want to see a magic trick? He concentrates chakra on his fingertip. The wind starts to spin, creating a tiny razor-sharp vortex. Your dad calls you weak. Mine doesn't even see me. Let's make a packed. Huga. Let's see who becomes stronger. Chapter 2. The academy shadow. Time skip. 5 years later. The academy is buzzing. Mename is the main character. He's loud, arrogant, and gets all the girls. Iraka sensei gives him A+es just for breathing because he's the hoag's son. Naruto. He's the NPC in the back row wearing a black turtleneck that covers his mouth. sleeping through class. During sparring, he always takes a dive. Winner ka shouts. Nar, you fell after one hit. Stop embarrassing your father. Pathetic. Men sneers as he walks by, kicking dust on Naruto. I wish you didn't exist. You make me look bad. But after school, deep in the forest of death, zone 44, where kids aren't allowed, Naruto is hanging upside down from a branch, reading a forbidden scroll he borrowed from the library. "You're late," he says without looking up. Hinata lands next to him. "She isn't the shy girl anymore. Her posture is lethal." "Sorry, Naruto. Father made me spar with Niji. Who won?" "I broke his ribs," she says. calmly. But I made it look like an accident. The medics think he tripped. Niji suspects nothing. Naruto smirks. Good. Keep hiding your power. Let them think we're trash. The surprise will be sweeter. While Minato was teaching Mena the raising, Nar found the second Hokag's archives. He couldn't make a thousand clones, so he learned flying raing on his own. He became a few injsu ceiling genius like his ancestors. Chapter 3. The exam flex. Graduation exam day. The big moment. Menato and Kushina are actually there, but only to watch Mema flex. Menma steps up. Shadow clone jutsu. Poof. 50 perfect clones appear. The whole class claps. Kusha is screaming. That's my baby. That's the future Hokag. Manato is beaming with pride. Next, Naruto Namikes. Ayra sigh, checking his watch. The room goes silent. Manato pretends to read paperwork to avoid eye contact. Sasuke Aiha snickers. Just give up, loser. Nar steps up. He looks at his parents. Nothing. No wave. No smile. Create three clones. Araka says boldly. Naruto weaves one sign. It's not a clone sign. The air pressure in the room drops. The windows start rattling. Clones are for kids who are scared to fight alone. Naruto whispers. Dot. He points a finger at the open window. Wine style vacuum bullets. Bang. Invisible air bullets shoot out the window. Travel 100 m and slice the top off a massive oak tree outside. Crash. The tree falls. Dead silence. Do I jaw hits the floor? Cusha drops her water bottle. Minato snaps his head up, eyes wide. That was ambu level chakra control. Nar turns to his dad. Deadpan face. Did I pass? H how? Minato stammers sweating. Who taught you that? Not you. Nar replies. Dot. He walks back to his seat. Hinata touches his hand under the desk. Your turn, Huga. Hinata steps up. Be a cooking. Instead of just activating the eyes, she palm strikes the air. Eight trigrams vacuum palm. The shockwave flips the teacher's desk over and embeds it in the wall. "Oops, too much force," she says innocently, staring at her shocked father, Hayashi, in the corner. "The losers just declared war on the entire village. Chapter 4. The ultimatum. That night at the Hokag's house, tension is high. Minato walks into the kitchen. He looks shook. Naruto, that power, it's dangerous. Where did you learn it? Books? Naruto says, eating instant ramen. The ones you keep in your study but never read. Minato size. I've made a decision. I'm putting you on team seven with Menma. Kakashi will train you. You can be a support for your brother, his shield. Nar stops eating. Support? He laughs. It's a dry, cold laugh. You still don't get it. I'm not a shield for your golden boy. Don't be rude. Kusha snaps. Your brother is a ginuriki. He carries the burden of the village. He needs it more. He needs a pacifier. Naruto stands up. I refuse. It's an order. Minato barks. You are a genon of the leaf. Naruto walks up to his dad face to face. Then I'll become a rogue ninja right now. Try me. Minato freezes. He sees the look in his son's eyes. Absolute zero. He realizes Nar isn't bluffing. Fine. Minato sigh, defeated. I won't force you. I'll put you on team 13, but be warned. Your sensei will be Danzo Shimura. Naruto smiles. A real creepy smile. Danzo, the head of Root. Perfect. Finally, a real teacher who doesn't sugarcoat things. He walks out, leaving his parents terrified. They thought they were punishing him. They just gave him the keys to the kingdom. Chapter 5. Welcome to hell. Kenoha's underground. In Root, there are no names. Danzo rasps, tapping his cane. Only missions. Nar looks at Danzo's bandage arm. I'm not here for your philosophy, old man. Naruto says, "I'm here for the Uzumaki sealing jutzu that Kenoha stole from my mother's clan. Teach me and I'll be your weapon." Danzo is impressed. This kid is empty inside. A perfect vessel. Prove your worth. Danzo snaps his fingers. Five root amb. You jump out with swords. Kill them or die. Naruto doesn't flinch. Sigh. Watch my back. Hinata, shut down their chakra points. The fight lasts 30 seconds. Sai binds them with ink beasts. Hinata strikes their hearts. Nar uses wind style to speed blitz the captain holding a cannite to his throat. "Do we pass?" Nar asks, pressing the blade until blood draws. Danzo slow claps. "Welcome to team 13. You will be my blade." Chapter 6. The wave arc disaster. 3 months later, team 7, Menma, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi is getting absolutely wrecked in the land of waves. Sabuza has Kakashi trapped in a water prison. Haku has Sasuke turned into a Pinkushin in the ice mirrors. Menma is raging out, leaking Ninetailes chakra, screaming, "I'll kill you." But missing every attack because he has zero skill, just rage. Suddenly, the mist gets colder. The temperature drops. Three figures walk out of the fog wearing gray cloaks. Naruto steps forward, lowering his hood. You guys are behind schedule, he says casually. Root is taking over this mission. It's now Srank. Nar, Kakashi yells. Run. Zabuza is an elite Jonan. You can't handle him. Nar ignores him. Zabuza Mimochi. 30 million Rio bounty. Nice. Another brat. Zabuza laughs, swinging his massive executioner's blade. I'll chop you in half. Chapter 7. The Sigma moment. Menma watches in shock as his weak brother steps up to the demon of the mist. Zabuza swings. Nar doesn't dodge. He weaves a sign Uzumaki style. Adamant ceiling chains. Clank point. Two golden chains burst from Naruto's back, catching the massive sword in midair. W what? Zabuza panics. Uzumaki chains. Only cushion should have these. Naruto forms a raisin gan, but it's gray infused with wind nature. You rely on brute strength. Skill issue crack. Naruto smashes the wind raising into the blade, shattering the legendary sword into pieces and blasting Zabuza across the water. Meanwhile, Hinata steps into the ice mirrors. Haku tries to speed blitz her rotation. She spins, releasing needles of chakra crash. The mirrors shatter instantly. Team 7 is stunned. Menma is shaking, not from fear, but jealousy. How? Menma whispers, tears in his eyes. You're nobody. I'm the chosen one. Naruto walks past him spotless. While you played Hero and ate mommy's cooking, I survived Danzo's hell. We are not the same brother. Chapter 8, the tunein exams. Back in Kenoha, Minato bans Naruto from the tunein exams because he is too ruthless. But Naruto doesn't care. He enters anyway, disguised as Uri, the ghost from the hidden rain village that he crushes the preliminaries. He destroys the forest of death. He even makes a deal with Orochimaru. Don't attack me and I'll let you destroy the leaf. I want to see my father despair. The finals do it comes down to two fighters. Mema versus Yuri. The stadium is packed. Manado, the Kazak oro Chimaru, and the Fuda lords are watching. Mema flexes for the crowd. Take off the mask. I don't fight nameless trash. I'm the future Hokag. You talk too much. The masked figure says, "Come at me." Chapter nine. Brother versus brother. Menma spams shadow clones. Take this zoom. A yellow flash. Uri disappears and reappears behind Menma holding a cannide to his kidney. Flying Raene level two. Minato stands up in the VIP box. Impossible. That's my technique. Mena panics. He loses it. He goes three tales mode. Red chakra explodes. The crowd screams, "Die!" Mena charges, tearing up the ground, destroying the arena walls. Uuri weaves a sign. Adam Maddin chains suppression. Five golden chains erupt from the ground, piercing Menma's limbs and slamming him into the dirt. The fox chakra is instantly suppressed and sucked away. Menma is pinned helpless like a bug. W who are you? Menma screams. Stop it. Chapter 10. The reveal. Yuri walks up to him. You asked who I am. Click. The mask falls off. Blonde hair, blue eyes, cold stare. The stadium gasps. Manato drops his pipe. Kusha covers her mouth, sobbing. It's him, Kakashi whispers. The one we abandoned. Nar looks up at the VIP box. You celebrated the hero. You prayed to Menma. You threw me away like trash because I had no chakra. Naruto steps on Menma's chest. And here is your hero lying in the dirt. Defeated by the failure. Without the fox, he is nothing. But me, I built myself. I, Naruto Namices, declare myself the winner, and I resign as a shinobi of this rotten village. Chapter 11. The betrayal. Suddenly, boom. Orochimaru launches the invasion. Giant snakes break the walls. Danzo appears with his root squad. Good job, Naruto. Danzo yells. Now kill Menma. Take the Ninetales. We will rule Kenoha together. Naruto looks at Danzo, then at Mena. Minato screams from the barrier. Eno Nar, he's your brother. Nar raises his canai and stabs Danzo in the heart. The old man coughs blood. You traitor, I told you. Nar whispers into his dying ear. I'm not your weapon. I use you for your resources. Your jutzu, your bases, your money. They're mine now. Thanks for the training. Naruto drops the body. He looks at Menma. Live, brother. Live. Knowing I spared you because you aren't even worth killing. The invasion ends. Kohaa is in ruins. Danzo is dead. The Hokag is humiliated. Nar and Hinata stand at the village gates. Jeriah tries to stop them. Come back, kid. We can fix this. Your parents love you. Naruto doesn't turn around. Fix it. You can't fix 13 years of loneliness. Pervy sage. I don't hate you guys. I just don't care anymore. Where will you go west? Naruto says looking at the sunset. To the ruins of Yushio. I'll build a home where strength is earned, not given. He takes Hinata's hand and they vanish into the forest, leaving the burning leaf village behind.
