Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Bonds Of Brotherhood ❯ Prologue ( Prologue )
[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Note: this is an idea I had that wouldn't go away, but this is only the prologue, there will be more, this takes place, after the rescue of Garra from the Akatsuki, and during the chuunin exams, I'm not the best action writer so the exams wont feature to heavenly probably only the last fight, you will see why
I am also in need of a beta; as I am just a little useless with the various Japanese terms as well as being dyslexic, I'm sure I misspelled kunai, let me know if interested please
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of its characters, wish I did, but the only one I can say I own is Daichi (which I believe means First son, but don't take my word for it) and Aki (autumn, I think lol)
Bonds Of Brotherhood
Prologue
A lone figure walked out on to the small crystal clear forest lake his charka control so smooth the water barely ripples as he stands in the middle.
Looking down at his reflection the young man of 19 sighs and reaches behind him for the long blonde brade that hangs down the centre of his back
Holding it out with his left hand his right reaches down and pulls a kunai from his holster and with one swift slice, cuts the long hair leaving it loose and shoulder length
He stiffs the cut hair in a pocket and kneels down on the water as if it was a simple floor and proceeded to tidy and style his shortened hair letting the water take and hide the blond locks leaving no trace of his behind
Once done he leaned forward and dunks his head under the water to remove any stray loose bits and with anode strokes tries to tame hair that hates to be tamed when short
As he dose this he notices a small read fox poke its nose out from a bush, curious at the humans behaviour, the Vixen walks up and sits close to the edge of the water but just far enough away to not get her paws wet with her head tilted to one side
“What you looking at?” he asked the fox, she just tilted her head the other way
He threw the kunai at her, to anyone it would have seemed a bad throw as the kunai hit rounded hilt first in the water close to the fox sending a small wave to splash the fox
The fox shook the water from her fir and crouched low and growled at him as he stood tying a bandana stile forehead protector in place, the fabric completely covering his blond hair and low enough to also hide his blonde eyebrows, the plate was blank in the style of a Wandering Nin, not aligned with any village and not an exile or Missing Nin he walked to where the fox was baring teeth at him
Unafraid she stood her ground as he passed, near by was a camp and as soon as he passed the fox she tore past him and snatched a dead rabbit from where it lay beside the fire and moved away still growing
“So that's the way you want to play it” he said tossing the cut rope of hair onto the fire, “fine Aki I wont cook it for you the way you like” he taped a pot above the fire with the kunai he had recovered
The fox looked from him to the pot and back again making up her mind she picked up the rabbit and dropped it at his feet then stomped over to where a bedroll was laid out tidy and proceeded to dig it up to make herself a nest, he was clearly not forgiven
The young man laughed, and started to skin and dress the rabbit
“ Sleep now Aki as tomorrow we reach Konaha, and possibly our journeys end”
$$$
The morning arrived and the man and fox finished of the last of the rabbit stew cold and he packed up their camp
He first packed the cooking utensils then his extra weapons then his bedroll and left the flap open and the pack on the ground has he tidies and cleaned up the fire, and generally erasing all signs that he had camped there, finished he picked up his pack now a bit heavier with a vixen nested in his blankets
Gently he set the pack on his back and smiled as the fox licked at his left ear he reached a hand back to give her a scratch
“Am I forgiven now? He smiled at the leaves above him the bright sun shining though today was a good day
The fox settled her head on his shoulder, her usual travelling position and that set off
It was only 2 hours later the pair found themselves at the main gate to the village hidden in the leaves
A bored looking young ninja was manning the desk by the gate
“Reason for visiting?” he asked tiredly not even looking up as he filed in the paper
“chuunin exams” the young man answered shortly with a small smile
“Participant or spectator?”
“Participant”
“Representing which village?”
“None, I'm a wandering Nin”
How bothersome the ninja muttered to himself, “papers?”
The young man handed over a scroll, the name on the scroll changed as the Ninja tossed it onto a pile to be dealt with later though now it read Daichi Kazama the name that had originally been on the scroll was Arashi Kazama”
And with a grin at the Ninja disappeared with a flash and a rush of wind
