Chapter 4: Truths Revealed

 

Let's Begin Shall We

 

The Hokage sighed and pulled out his pipe and lit it. He took a deep puff and looked at the two boy in front of him. Naruto was looking at him intently wanting desperately to know why so many people hated him. Alucard was looking at him with an indifferent stare, as if nothing he said would affect him in any way. He wondered why this boy seemed so cold and distant, like a trained shinobi, like a killer. He took another puff from his pipe and said,

 

“This is something that I do not take lightly, if you tell anyone what you here today I will kill you without hesitation. There are things that many people don't know and I want it to stay that way for as long as possible. You are not from this village so I do not know if you can be trusted. However, you saved Naruto from that mob and rescued the Hyuuga heiress from being kidnaped. For those reasons I will tell you what you want to know, and let Naruto know why he is hated so unfairly.”

 

Alucard just nodded his head at this and continued to look at the Hokage indifferently. He then said,

 

“Hokage-sama I swear on my life that I will not share any of the information shared here today with anyone. However, the same also applies to you, if I find that you leaked anything that I tell you here today I will not hesitate to kill you. The things I am going to tell you are never to be recorded in a physical way. You are not to write anything down or make a recording of this conversation. When my tale is done you may decide if I may stay or not, if not I will leave and you will never see me again. If you allow me to stay, just add me as an orphan whose parents were killed before I arrived here.”

 

The Hokage just looked at the child before him and nodded his head in agreement. He also wondered if this boy could carry out his threat of killing him. He doubted it but he had no information on him at all. He then said,

 

“Do you know of the Kyuubi no Kitsune?”

 

“Yes the nine tailed fox demon that attacked this village five years ago on October 10th.”

 

“That is correct. Do you know how the battled ended as well?”

 

“Yes it was said that the Fourth Hokage gave up his life to kill the beast and saved the village.”

 

“That is also correct but, that is not the whole truth as to what happened. The Fourth did indeed I've up his life to defeat the Kyuubi. However, the Kyuubi is an immortal being that cannot be killed by a mortal. He would merely reform if his physical body is destroyed. He can only be defeated if he sealed into something. This something cannot be an object as the Kyuubi would merely break free. It also can't be an adult human as the beast chakra would kill them and release him as well. The only thing that it can be sealed into is a newborn child whose chakra pathways have not yet developed and therefore they can take the chakra the fox gives off.”

 

After he said this he saw Alucard had raised an eyebrow and had a strange glint in his eyes. He looked the Hokage straight in the eyes with complete confidence and said,

 

“The Fourth used a sealing method that cost him his life and sealed the fox into a newborn child then? Well if that's the case then I know who he used already.”

 

He turned to Naruto and said,

 

“Do you know who was used?”

 

“I have no idea.” Naruto responded.

 

“When is your birthday Naruto?”

 

“It's October 10th... the same day that the Kyuubi was sealed. So does that mean...?”

 

The Hokage then spoke in a soft voice,

 

“Yes Naruto you were the child that the Kyuubi was sealed into you on the day you were born. I'm sorry I never told you before now but it was a request of the Fourth that you not be told until you were ready. When the people found out they wanted to kill you immediately, so I was forced to make a law that made it illegal to speak of it. I hoped to prevent the hate from reaching the younger generation.”

 

Naruto had his head down so that you could not see his face and soft sobbing could be heard. When he picked up his head there were tears in his eyes as he looked at the hokage. When he spoke his voice held an unbelievable amount of sadness in them,

 

“So they were right, I am a demon?”

 

“No you are not a demon; if you were then you would have already killed this entire village. You are just an innocent that was caught up in the stupidity and hatred of this village.” replied Alucard surprising the Hokage.

 

He looked at the young man in curiosity as he seemed to have become very angry after Naruto's secret was revealed, like it affected him as well. He knew that some of the other villages also had Jinkurichi but he did not know if that village had one. He looked at Alucard an asked,

 

“You seem to know something about the life a Jinkurichi leads, can you explain this?”

 

Alucard looked at the Hokage with a sad smile on his face and nodded. The creature on he neck gave a small mewl and rubbed its head against his cheek. He smiled a genuine and happy smile when it did this. He scratched its head and said,

 

“I guess that it's time to start my story. You know that the Kyuubi no Kitsune is the strongest of all the Biju correct?”

 

The Hokage nodded and remained silent.

 

“While that is true, it is not true that the Biju are the most powerful beings on the planet. There are other beings that are far older and more powerful than them in every way. They existed before this planet even came into existence, and after time they came here seeking peace. They were constantly at war with others in the universe and desired to just have peace. So they came to this planet in hopes that the others would not follow. They were right and they had the peace they had desired for so long.”

 

“That is until the people who founded my village discovered them. All they saw was a weapon that was to be used to rule the world. They founded a village next to the cave where they resided and became know as the “Yamigakure” (1). For almost 100 years they tried to figure out a way to control the creatures. During this time they came to realize that there were two leaders of this “colony” as they called it. A King and a Queen, which were the most powerful of these creatures.”

 

“They figure if they could control one of these two they could control the entire species. So they went about attracting the King into the village with offerings and sacrifices. Eventually it worked and they trapped the creature in a jutsu that could not be broken even by them. This caused the other creatures to go berserk and attack the village. When this happened they decided to seal the King into a new born child, and then raise the child as a weapon for their own purposes. I'll give you one guess who that child was.”

 

The Hokages eyes widened at the implication of what this boy was saying. He was claiming to hold an ancient being more powerful than the Kyuubi no Kitsune. He could not begin to imagine how strong these beings must be. He actually believed this young man for some reason he could not understand, perhaps it was how his eyes showed deep sadness when he told them this.

 

“You were this child?”

“That is correct Hokage-sama, I am the container of the “Kokuoo no Shin-en.”(2)

 

The Hokage merely nodded his head his suspicion confirmed. Naruto however was staring at the boy next to him, wondering if the boy had a life similar to his own. Alucard saw the look that Naruto was giving him and said,

 

“Naruto my life was possibly harder than your own while you are beaten you at least have the Hokage to help you. The person who caused me the most pain in my village was the Yamikage. On the day they sealed the King into me he ordered that everyone in the village be mad aware of it. Form that day forth I was hated like no other in the village I was kept safe until I turned two, after that I was released into the village to fend for myself. On the first day I was released I was attacked by a mob of more than forty people, all of them wanted to kill me. They beat me for seven hours straight but could not kill me. After awhile they left me alone saying I “was not worth their time.” after that day I incurred daily beatings and was forced to find my own food.”

 

The Hokage had his mouth hanging open in shock.

 

`What this boy has gone through no one should have survived. He should be dead now but here he is alive today. And for some reason I believe him.'

 

Naruto was just looking at him with sympathy in his eyes.

 

`He has gon though the same things as I have, or worse. He has survived to become incredibly strong. I wonder will I ever be as strong as he is?'

 

“However after one of these beatings I found myself near the entrance to the cave in which the creatures lived. I knew of the burden that I carried within me, I was told as soon as I could understand what it meant. So I stood and walked towards the cavern but stopped at the entrance listening for any sound at all. I heard a soft noise like feet across stone. The sound had come from above me so I looked up, and when I did I came face to face with the Queen. She was massive, at least 20 stories tall, and she was hanging from the wall in front of the cave like she weighed nothing.”

 

“She simply looked down at me from her perch as if looking into my soul. After about twenty minutes she spoke. Her voice was soft and calming, and it stilled my fear of her. She told me she knew of what I contained and that she did not hate me for it. She knew that it was not my choice to have her mate sealed within me and she knew how I was treated by the village. It angered her greatly that an innocent child was treated in such a way and she promised to help me however he could. I thanked her and she disappeared back into the cave and a few moments later a smaller one returned.”

 

“This one carried a scroll on its back. It approached me and took the scroll of its back, placed it on the ground before me and opened it. It pointed to the first spot on the scroll and said “Sign this and you shall always have our protection.” I signed the scroll and the creature showed me the hand seals. After the creature left I turned to the village and went back no longer afraid to be hurt knowing that I would survive and get my revenge on the stupid villagers.”

“About a year ago however things changed, I met two people who knew what I was and were still kind to me and they helped me. They were always kind and came to my defense when I was attacked by the other villagers. They were both Jounin and they taught me the way of the ninja to defend myself. They were a couple that could not have any children since they were both sterile. So they adopted me as their child if only in spirit. They treated me like another human, for the first time in my life I was truly happy.”

 

“This ended when the Yamikage found out about them. When I left the village to explore the cave system around it like I usually did to avoid the villagers, seeing as how even the ninja would not follow me into them. When I was gone he captured both of them and brought them to the center of the village. When I came back I was escorted to the center of the village by five Jounin. When we arrived there were two objects covered by cloth in the middle of a large ring of people. I would like to show you what happened next with a jutsu that I know.”

 

The Hokage and Naruto both just nodded, completely astounded by what Alucard had gone through. They both wanted to see what happened to the people who were kind to him.

 

Alucard just sighed and brought his hands together and went through hand seals at a rapid rate. When he got to the last one he called out “Yamiton: Kage no Kako”(3)

 

Alucard's shadow shot out from underneath him and connected to the shadows of Naruto and the Hokage. The room darkened and faded away and when the lights came back up the Hokage was still in his chair but he was now sitting in between Alucard and Naruto. They were sitting in the middle of a large stone clearing with hundreds if not thousands of people in it. They were all staring with hatred on their faces they also had maniacal grins on their face even the children.

 

The people were standing on what looked like stone balconies carved into the walls of a cliff. Behind them you could see massive building also carved into the cliff side. The crowd was all dressed in black like for a funeral and they said nothing they were completely quiet.

 

The Hokage and Naruto then looked directly in front of them and saw Alucard surrounded by five Jounin. He looked to be slightly smaller but still had the same hair cut, his clothes on the other hand were nothing but rags and tatters. He had several chains attached to him that looked like they were made of shadows. He was looking at two sheet covered object that were about twenty feet in front of him with worry on his face.

 

A man stepped between the two objects and it was obvious who he was by his robes. He was the Yamikage. He was a tall man of about 6 and a half feet in height and with a well muscled build. He had pale skin and dark red eyes that were almost black, they were the eyes of a killer and a madman. His hair was short and a silver grey color. He looked at the boy in front of him like he was nothing more than a possession that he owned.

 

Then he spoke talking to the entire crowd,

 

“People of Yamigakure I have recently discovered some very interesting news. There were people treating this thing kindly and they helped it survive. I have captured them and hope to set an example so that this never happens again.”

 

He then reached forward and ripped the sheets off the object they were covering. The entire crowd cheered for what they saw, the Hokage and Naruto gasped. The Alucard in the chair did nothing. The Alucard that was being held in place began to cry,

 

“Kaa-san! Tou-san! No!”

 

In front of them there were two poles and tied to the poles were two people. One was a man and one was a woman and it was obvious that the woman had been raped repeatedly. They were covered in bruises and cuts to the point they were almost unrecognizable but Alucard knew instantly who they were. They were the people who were kind to him and helped him whenever he needed it. And because of him they had suffered, it was all his fault that his had happened.

 

They were both still alive and breathing if only barely. The male raised his head and saw the young boy in front of him and felt sad that the boy was in so much pain. He spoke even though it caused him great agony,

 

“Alucard this is not your fault. We knew that this might happen, but we cared for you anyway. Don't blame yourself for this; it's not your fault. It is the fault of this village and their thirst for power; they only see you as a weapon to use and then when your purpose has been served thrown away. But that is not what you are; you are merely an unfortunate child who they decided to seal an ancient being into for their own purposes. You have to remember that no matter what I and my wife both love you and we will never stop.”

 

After he finished the Yamikage just stared to laugh. Then he pulled a sword out of his robes. The younger Alucard knew that sword as it was his surrogate fathers. The Yamikage just continued to laugh as he walked in front of the two people tied to the poles and slit their throats. He then turned to Alucard and drove the sword into the ground directly in front of him. Alucard was looking at the ground with tears coming out of his eyes. He was sad but more than that he was angry, angry at the village and all those in it. He hated them so much but he did not have the power to stop them.

 

Time seemed to stop for some reason and then Alucard heard a voice one that was similar to the Queen when she had spoken to him,

 

“What if you had the power to take your revenge would, you use it?”

 

Alucard blacked out after that awoke he was in a large tunnel like the ones he explored around the village. There was a dim light in front of him so he headed that way. As he continued to walk a noise became apparent. It was the sound of something breathing.

 

Suddenly the tunnel opened up into a huge cavern, so large that the ceiling was not visible. The cave was lit with torches all around the cave. In the center of the cave was a massive creature that was wrapped in chains that prevented all movement. It was larger then even the queen its size dwarfing everything in the cave. It looked at the young child in front of him and was saddened by what he saw. He saw a being with no purpose in life no reason to continue living. One who had witnessed and experienced more pain and hatred than almost any other person that has ever lived. He saw a broken spirit that will soon drift away if something is not done.

 

“Child do you wish to take revenge against those who have wronged you? Do you wish to make them regret the unjust hatred they fell towards you?”

 

Alucard merely nods his head yes, so sad and angry that he couldn't even speak. He looks up at the gargantuan creature and sees that it has a sad look on its face. He can tell since he has spent so much time with its children. He then smiles softly at the great beast and speaks in a very soft voice so light the creature can barley hear it,

 

“Thank you. And I do not blame you for what has happened.”

 

The King was stunned at the kindness the young boy showed even after all that he had been through he did not blame the one who was the cause of his suffering. The King realized the he could never be released from this boy without killing bout of them and he was saddened by this. However, he realized that this boy would make a perfect replacement for him as the leader of his people. He smiles softly at the boy in front of him and says,

 

“If you want your revenge then all you have to do is remove the seal that binds me here. I promise that I will not try to escape. Even if I did try I would only kill both of us seeing as our souls are now bound together. If you release this seal I will give you my power whenever you need it. However, I will need you to do some things for me.”

 

“What are they?”

 

“I need you to lead my people in my place seeing as this I will never escape this place. Also I will change the inner appearance of your mind so that it is more comfortable for me. Do you agree to these terms?”

 

“Yes. However I want you to protect the bodies of the two people who cared for me.”

 

After he said this he approaches the King and sees a lock holding all the chains together on the front of the lock is a sheet of paper with the kanji for “seal” on it. He grabs and rips it off of the lock. The chains fall from the king and he stands to his full height. He looks at the boy in front of him and nods to the child. Alucard closes his eyes as the King touches his forehead with one of his massive claws. He feels a rush of energy and notices that it has become slightly lighter behind his eyelids.

 

His eyes snapped open to see the ground that he was looking at when he went into his mind. He also realized that no time had passed since he met with the King and made the deal. He felt an absolute power flowing through him that even the Yamikage could not match. His eyes still towards the ground he spoke in a soft voice,

“Juuryoku Manipyureito”(4)

 

The ground around him cracked as it was put under massive pressure. The five ninja who were holding him in place were instantly crushed as the gravity around the boy in a fifteen foot circle increased hundreds of times over. The Yamikage turned around and gasped at the sheer amount of Killing Intent the boy was putting out, it was greater than anything he had felt since they had sealed the King. Alucard stood up but kept his head towards the ground and the KI he was giving off froze every single villager in place in absolute terror. When he speaks it is not his normal voice it is one that holds far more power,

 

“People of Yamigakure you have treated me as a monster my entire life, while I never once fought back. You beat me daily and left me to die, you even raped me! You thought that I was the prisoner and not the prison and for that you would have been forgiven. However, you denied me any happiness at all you took away anything that brought me any joy and stopped the sadness for a while. YOU KILLED THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT EVER CARED FOR ME SIMPLY SO THAT I WOULD NOT DEVELOP FEELINGS! Your live were forfeit the second their throats were slit!”

 

He took a deep breath and began a long chain of hand seals that lasted for several minutes and none of the villager could move from the sheer pressure of the KI he was putting out. As he formed the last hand sign three tendrils shot out of his shadow and attached to those of his foster parents and his father's sword. He thrust one hand into the air, then shouted the name of the jutsu to the heavens,

 

“Shin-enton Kinjutsu: Kage no Bookyaku!”(5)

 

All the shadows in the area began to move toward his hand and started to form a sphere above his palm. The sphere continued to grow in size until it was at least twice his size, and the ground around him began to shatter and fly into the sphere and disintegrate. He then raised his head and the entire village, the Hokage and Naruto saw that his eyes had become pure black and reflected back all that they saw, he spoke one last time,

 

“NOW REAP WHAT YOU HAVE SOWN!”

 

With that he slammed his the sphere into the ground in front of him and it exploded outward reaching the crowd in an instant and turning them to nothingness in an instant, leaving nothing behind not even ash. The jutsu lasted for about ten second and then disappeared leaving nothing but a crater the size of the village. The people, the buildings, even the wall of the crevice itself were simply gone with nothing to suggest that they had ever been there to begin with. The only things left in the massive crater were three people and the sword. Two of the people were dead and one was looking at their corpses sadly.

 

Alucard looked at the bodies of his foster parents and began to cry again. He then proceeded to dig their graves at the center of the crater. He gave them a proper burial and then carved into a stone he put at the head of the graves a single word, “Remember.” After he had finished he looked towards the cave where the creatures lived and saw thousands of them pouring out of the entrance and began to surround him. He picked up the sword of his father and attached it to his back using a small amount of chakra. He looked at the being he had come to see as family with a soft small smile on his face and wiped away the tears. He looked at them and said,

 

“I hope you can understand but I have to leave now. I can't stay here any longer as this place holds too many unpleasant memories. I will try to find us a new home and when I do I will send for you to come to live with me. You may follow if you wish but I would ask that only a few of you come with me so that you are not detected. I am glad that I met you as you are now my family and I hope to see you in the near future at our new home.”

 

As he finished twelve of the creatures came forward and bowed. He understood that these were the ones that wished to come with him as his guards and his friends. Two tiny blurs shot out of the group towards him and he soon had two of the little creatures wrapped around his neck. He smiled again and turned toward the entrance to the valley he had spent his entire life in.

 

The world began to fade again and soon the Hokage and Naruto found themselves back in the Hokage's office. They both were staring at Alucard as though they expected to see him crying and they did but it was only a single tear running down his face. Then Naruto passed out from exhaustion. The Hokage got up and moved Naruto over to a couch in the office and laid him down. He noticed that the sun had risen and realized that at least seven hours had passed since the meeting had started. He looked at Alucard with a sad expression on his face and said,

 

“You may stay in this village. After all that you have been through I can't turn you away. I do have two questions though if you don't mind.”

 

Alucard merely nodded his head.

 

“First what was that technique; I have never seen anything like it before? And second where have you been the last few months?”

 

Alucard sighed knowing the Hokage was going to ask those questions but was slightly surprise that he did not ask more.

 

“The technique you saw m use is one that the King uses. It was his personal jutsu and I am the only human that will ever be able to perform it. It is also a very dangerous technique to use. I do not want to use it ever again if I can avoid it. The technique is meant to destroy armies but the way it does it is horrible. You saw how there was nothing left not even ashes correct?”

 

The Hokage nodded.

 

“The technique destroys everything about whatever it touches that is not protected by the user. It even destroys the soul. There is nothing that can stop that technique and if it is used it can not be dispelled by any means other that feeding it a soul. To answer your other question I have simply been wandering around looking for a place to live and to bring my “family.”“

 

The Hokage was shocked. A jutsu that destroys the very soul. That is a technique that should never be used even against the foulest of opponents. He looked at the boy to see that he had not lied about never wanting to use that technique ever again.

 

Alucard looks at the Hokage and asks,

 

“Hokage-sama are there any buildings for sale in the city? Preferably one that is quite large and built on solid bedrock.”

 

The Hokage thinks for a moment and nods his head,

 

“There is an abandoned apartment building that fits those qualifications.”

 

“That is great I would like to purchase it if I may.”

 

“You can all I have to do is sign the paper work and you can have it for free. Nobody else wants to deal with the cost of having it repaired. It also has large stone walls surrounding the entire property.”

 

Alucard just grins slightly and nods his head.

 

“I will sign the paperwork now, welcome to the village of Konohagakure (6) Alucard.”
