The Purple Flash of Kumo Chapter 2 (Family)
🕑 Added 2022-12-15 19:53:56 +0000 UTCWhen he had decided that Naruto would be his son, he hadn't expected this. A knew from everyone that babies, in general, were troublesome creatures that enjoyed annoying people for some reason.
But A felt that went double for a kid like Naruto once he ended his conversation with his father. A had been quick to find his brother, who was doing some annoying poses that no one would understand or find funny, yet, his brother kept saying that his rap was simply misunderstood and that people were too idiots to understand.
Misunderstood my ass, A had thought back then; once they arrived at their home, which was more like a mansion, A had wasted no time introducing Bee to Naruto, his brother had smiled brightly at the sight of the young boy, but he immediately asked something that put him in a bit of high alert.
"He's not your son, isn't he?" Bee questioned, currently looking at the laughing Naruto, who was playing with his big fingers.
A grumbled slightly, his brother had seen right through him, and he really didn't like that it was way too obvious. "He's not. I found him in Konoha-" A went and explained everything that happened on his mission, arriving and finding a dying Kushina who told him to protect her son.
After hearing the whole story, Bee stood silent for an entire minute, the only sound in the room was Naruto, but even he was extra quiet as if he could somehow read the gloomy mood.
After one minute, Bee released a deep breath from his throat. "Kushina-san is dead!" Bee spoke with a tone as if he couldn't believe his brother.
Looking down at a suddenly sleeping Naruto, he could see the signs. They were as clear as day; he had taken a lot after his father. Bee had known Kushina, they fought seven times, and in all of them, she won despite him using Full Bijuu mode against her; after the fight ended, they would act like good friends, despite being at her mercy seven times, not once Kushina tried to kill him for what Kumo tried to do to her.
"My village valued Family, Honor, and Duty above everything. To me, Minato is that family. To you is A. I don't forget what your village tried to do, but I won't make my own life less enjoyable because I want to seek vengeance,"
Kushina had once told him from that day, Bee had gained a huge amount of respect for the woman; her abilities with her Uzumaki Sword were a sight to see.
"Does anyone else knows that he has Kyuubi?" Bee questioned; he didn't need his brother telling him that the moment they got close to the mansion, Gyūki had been quick to warn him that he could feel Kyuubi nearby.
"No, besides father and the team that was accompanying me," A answered quickly, understanding why his brother was concerned about that.
"Good, this should be kept secret; besides our family, Naruto and Yugito, no one else should know if I see people glaring at Naruto. I will rip out their eyes," Bee warned seriously. He knew the blonde girl was lonely, and she needed friends in the future. Naruto could be that friend.
A was taken aback by his words but relieved at the same time, fearing that his brother would perhaps not welcome Naruto into their family.
"I already thought about it, but what about telling Naruto about Kyuubi?" A question; his brother would know about this kind of business better than anyone else.
Bee looked deep in thought before answering. "At seven years, that's the perfect age. We can start doing light training at five," Bee explained before rubbing his hands together, a grin that A feared formed on Bee's face.
"I can't wait to teach my nephew my amazing Sing-AAHHHH," his words interrupted when A slammed a fist on top of his head.
"You will do no such thing; you won't infect Naruto with your craziness," A said, glaring down at Bee, who was wiping away fake tears and murmuring that the world wasn't fair.
Now, back to the present, it had been three years since Naruto joined their family, his father had quickly gotten used to the role of the angry grandfather who never smiles, but A was sure he would often smile in front of Naruto when he thought no one would notice it.
But having a baby in their family had proven challenging in so many ways he hadn't seen coming, one of them being his food. Naruto drank milk like he was starving every time; once he grew old enough for other types of food, he ate almost as much as Bee, and second, he was way too energetic for his age.
The moment he started crawling, he went on and explored every corner of the house, soon trying to sneak outside with the help of Bee, who would happily help his nephew to sneak outside, with the excuse that it was good for everyone to go outside and let the sun hit their skin.
That said, A was now searching for Naruto; he quickly noticed he wasn't home. A grumble escaped his throat; walking outside, he checked every place he knew. Bee and Naruto frequently spent time together.
Checking every place, he felt dread settling in; he was half convinced to go to his father when he noticed a huge crowd of people around the ramen restaurant of Kumo.
A quirked an eyebrow; the restaurant often had many consumers, but not a sea of people in front of it; suddenly, he heard the voice of someone he knew way too well...
"Come on, nephew, d-don't slack off; face your opponents with no mercy!" Bee said while rapping; A let out a loud grumble; it seemed he found his son, walking through the crowd of people, many steeped away the moment they recognized him; after walking through what seemed like a hundred people, he reached the front of the restaurant.
He saw his brother still encouraging Naruto to keep going and not give up while Naruto was busy eating a bowl full of ramen, but A's eyes widened like plates when he noticed what looked like a mountain of empty bowls in the bar near Naruto.
A's jaw almost hit the floor; it had taken everything for him not to gasp when Naruto emptied his bowl.
"One more!" He requested the chef, who quickly brought him another one with a broad smile.
"Here you have him, ladies and gentlemen, is the hundredth bowl. Will my brother break the record, or will he shame our family," Bee suddenly announced for everyone to hear as if this was some kind of show, and it got even worse when the crowd let out a loud 'YAY' for Naruto, who was taking several deep breaths, preparing to eat the last one.
A noticed that Bee hadn't seen him yet, he knew he should perhaps stop this nonsense, but his curiosity got the better of him. Again!
Taking a deep breath, Naruto shoved the bowl in his face, eating like a maniac; silence fell over the crowd of now one thousand people, all of them holding their breaths as Naruto was slowly eating the last one; even Bee was quiet, which was a tricky thing to achieve, A simply stared blankly at his son.
One minute later, he slammed the empty bowl into the bar, which was soon followed by the whole crowd cheering. "Congratulations, Naruto,"
A winced slightly at the loud noises around him, suppressing a smile; seeing that his son was done, he walked forward.
Bee threw a pouch of money at the chef, who told them they could return it whenever they wanted. The said chef wrote Naruto's name on top of a board.
Bee and Naruto turned around only to be met with the cold eyes of A, who looked down on them as if they were kids. Well, one of them was...
"F-Father, what are you doing here?" Naruto asked nervously, rubbing the back of his head. Bee, on the other hand, tried to sneak away when A put his hand on his shoulder, stopping him.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Later
"AHHHHHAHHHHH," Bee and Naruto moaned in pain as A brought them back to the mansion, lifting them by their ears.
Soon they reached the mansion, letting go of both of them. Naruto landed on his butt; his right ear had turned red, and he was rubbing it, but he still didn't cry, like many three years olds would do in his situation.
"What was that about? We were both having fun?" Bee asked, standing up, looking at him, and waving his hands around like an idiot.
A briefly glanced at his son, who was no longer rubbing his ear, but instead paying attention to them. "I don't need the whole Village talking about my son who can eat ramen like a monster, the word might spread too far, and some people might hear about it," A said with a blank tone; Naruto raised an eyebrow when he noticed his uncle's face twitch a little.
"What do you mean, father?" Naruto questioned, tilting his head to the side; the silence and the sudden cold air around them was uncomfortable, not counting the sudden panic feeling his uncle had for a split second.
Why would my uncle feel panic? Naruto wondered, scratching his temples.
"Nothing, my son, don't worry about it. Now, how about we train?" A suggested, his blank face quickly turning into a smiling one. Naruto's face brightened up like a candle.
"Yes, this time I will do more push-ups than you," The blonde announced, jumping up in the air, rushing inside, quickly followed by the other two, who were talking in hushed tones as they walked inside.
A felt proud; his son was doing twenty push-ups, and despite his age, he showed talent already, something A felt incredibly proud of; Bee was busy encouraging Naruto with his stupid rapping.
"And Twenty-Five!" Naruto exclaimed, his body going limp as he crushed down against the floor, his face sweating like crazy.
"Well, done, little nephew, continue like this, and you will be ready to unlock your chakra in no time," his uncle said, lifting him. Naruto beamed at the words; he knew he was already ready to unlock his Chakra. Still, for some reason, his father and grandfather kept telling him to train his body first before unlocking Chakra, saying it would be easier and faster to do so and would take less time to adapt to the newly added strength in his body since every person would get stronger if their chakra were unlocked.
"Yes, and we will become the most awesome Ninja duo in The World!" Naruto announced, raising his fist in the air, and so did Bee, who smiled brightly.
"You got that right little brother. We will be twice as awesome as your old man!" Bee said in his rapping way; Naruto laughed out loud, while A groaned loudly; his brother was definitely a bad influence on his son.
After ten more minutes of craziness, Naruto rested his head against a pillow, but he already felt well rested, something that made him somehow confused; he had noticed several times that his body would be full of energy within minutes, which wasn't really unusual apparently, he had seen kids train twice of his age. Apparently, it took hours to rest instead of minutes fully!
Naruto scratched the top of his head, feeling as if he was somehow missing something. He thought of perhaps asking his father, but he knew finding out on his own was much more enjoyable. Dismissing the thought, for now, he closed his eyes, wanting to sleep.
"Where am I?" A voice spoke in darkness, his voice hoarse from the lack of use. He felt something covering half of his face, including his eyes; he tried to lift his hand when his body shuddered; pain spread through his body like a violent river; only the years of fighting and pain had prepared him to control himself, and not scream out in pain, he felt himself getting dizzy when he heard a soft voice.
"Please stand down; your body is still healing," it was a woman, no doubt, her hand touching his naked chest, covering it with some kind of oil; he almost winced in pain, almost biting his tongue at the sharp pain across his chest, it was unbearable, his heart beating on his chest, he was surprised that the whole damn room couldn't hear it.
"W-where am I?" He asked; his throat felt dry, dryer than it had felt when he had been in Suna.
"In Tea Village, I found your body in the river. I was prepared to bury you when you gasped; for a moment, I thought the dead were coming back to life, considering your open chest," the woman spoke softly. He thought her voice was sweet, reminding him a bit of Mito when she was in a good mood, which rarely happened. For a moment, he wondered what she meant by his chest being open.
"What's your name?" He asked after a short pause; his tongue felt like a brick, wanting to know the name of his savior, even if he didn't survive this.
"My name is Yanara; what's your name?" She questioned; he managed a weak smile, his consciousness slipping away, hearing the lady calling him.
Naruto opened his eyes, feeling a headache; he yanked the sheet away; the sun rising outside was the only light source inside his bedroom. The window was closed, the light going inside through the window, illuminating the room like a warm blanket.
What was that all about? Naruto thought, not the first time he had dreamed these types of dreams, but not this long. Usually, they were a couple of seconds long; he dreamed he was fighting a duo with Kumo clothes. He once dreamed of a strange man with long hair and red armor!
Naruto hadn't told anyone yet, but he doubted they were important; dreams, in general, loved to be weird and cryptic; sometimes, he simply dreamed he was a bird flying high in the air, seeing the five great Shinobi villages. It was the best type of dream.
Seeing that his sleep had disappeared, he decided to try and secretly unlock his chakra; he had found a book in the house that explained Chakra and whatnot a few weeks ago. This would be an excellent opportunity to try and surprise his family.
After reading the book, Naruto thought that it was too easy, and right now, he was the only one awake in the house; no one would see him going out; he just needed to simply go outside, unlock his chakra, and then go back inside, no one will notice it, Naruto thought with a devilish smirk on his face.
Naruto soon walked outside; his house had an enormous courtyard, enough space to build two other houses and still have a place for their own courtyard. From outside, he could see the Twin Mountains of Kumo, the two highest mountains of the entire Continent. Due to their height, their peak could penetrate the lower clouds passing by; his grandfather told him that he had once climbed to the top without using chakra when he had been ten years old; the blonde wondered if the old man was exaggerating a little but considering his strength, perhaps he wasn't.
Soon he reached a perfect place to unlock his chakra.
There was a waterfall running over the far wall into a pond in front of him. In the center of that pond was a little island of land. There was actually green grass on the ground and another, smaller body of water at the island's center. Bushes bordered the back of the land, and some sort of wooden archway stood at the back also.
Naruto sat on the little island, where he thought it was alright in a mediating position, sitting in the grass with his legs crossed and his arms and hands resting in his lap.
Naruto could feel the grass softly touching his legs whenever the wind came around. He closed his eyes and started focusing on finding the feeling that the book was talking about.
After a few minutes, Naruto felt a very warm feeling on his chest, like embers, a fire kindling; from his chest to his feet, a gentle breeze flew past him.
Soon the water's flow around him increased, creating small waves; the wind passed by, and the wind vane on top of the house started spinning wildly, almost flying away.
Naruto couldn't feel any of it; reaching deep inside, he wanted to unlock his chakra, not noticing the closer he got, the more violent the weather got.
The moment he grabbed the warm feeling, his chakra exploded, purple electricity started coming out from Naruto like thunderbolts, and the water on the lake was floating two meters in the air, creating a ball of water as big as a small house. His chakra was spreading beyond his home.
Opening his eyes, the wind and everything turned back to normal; he looked around, confused; black spots on the grass from the lightning bolts, the grass had burned to a crisp, and the ball of water fell back down. He stood up, but as soon as he tried to take a step forward, his legs gave up and falling to his knees, Naruto felt exhausted. His breathing rapid, he desperately tried to catch his breath, but it seemed to get harder by the second.
Suddenly he heard the sound of clapping, sweat rolling down his cheeks. He used all his strength left to look up to see his grandfather clapping with a broad smile on his face.
"Jiji?" He asked slowly, wondering what had gotten him so happy and hoping he wasn't in any trouble.
"You don't know what you just did, do you?" His grandfather questioned, stepping closer.
Naruto looked confused; he had simply unlocked his chakra, and it wasn't really a big deal. "I unlocked my chakra," he said as if it was the most obvious answer.
Ay laughed loudly at his expression before grabbing him in his arms and carrying him inside. "Right now, sleep, you're exhausted, and we will talk once you wake up," Ay said.
Naruto looked ready to say something, but he did feel exhausted, he had read that unlocking Chakra was exhausting, but he felt as if he had just run a marathon. Resting on the arms of his Jiji, he closed his eyes to sleep.
It was a faint sound. But it seemed to grow louder in his ears as he focused on it. It was rhythmic...
Drip Drip Drip
He closed his eyes to focus harder... the sound grew louder still.
It started to sound like it was right next to him when he opened his eyes and found himself somewhere unfamiliar.
It was an enormous and very dark hall. The floor was only slightly flooded, but the water came up above his knees since he was so small.
He pressed his lips together, feeling afraid. Only slightly, though.
He began to walk, his curiosity growing as he did so. He recognized that he was not alone here.
He walked till he came to an enormous gate that was locked tight. The type of which he thought was supposed to keep him out until he heard a raspy breath from within the darkness.
Then it seemed more likely it was to keep something from getting out. The blonde peered into the darkness behind bars looking for the source of the breathing.
Two enormous red eyes slowly appeared from the darkness, looking down at him. The eyes were red and slit like that of a cat.
"What are you?" Naruto questioned, his voice almost a whisper.
The creature grinned, showing his sharp teeth, each larger than Naruto.
"It seems my warden has honored me with his presence. I'm Kyūbi no Yōko,"
