Revelations

 

 

 

“Kakashi, how much time left?” The red-eyed king asked, anxiety already flooding through his veins. They had arrived at the gates and Itachi was getting impatient.

 

“Itachi-sama, sometimes you must have patience to achieve your goals or desires. Everything takes its tim…” The white haired man was surprised by feeling a kunai cutting softly his throat's skin, only a thin streak of blood trailing his neck. He didn't even saw Itachi coming to him.

 

“Kakashi, don't try to lecture me. When I ask a question, I will expect only an answer going directly to the point. Is that clear?” Cold hard blood eyes gazed into `bored' silver ones. Itachi smirked. “That's the only reason that I still keep you alive.” He lowered his arm and put his kunai away. Stepping from his initial position from behind Kakashi, his baritone voice made almost Kakashi's stomach contract. “I'll ask you again. How much time left for the Kyuubi to arrive?”

 

“Your Majesty, as I am informed, I would say not much - less than half an hour.” The right hand of the king bowed lightly and dashed to the tower near the gates.

 

A creepy smile marred Itachi's face. If someone had seen it, their guts would clench painfully and they would say the Apocalypse was near.

 

Itachi was excited.

`Almost there' Naruto thought. The small fox gave him directions where to go. He didn't know why, but he had a dread feeling. You know that feeling when something bad is going to happen, well, Naruto was having it right now, and it wasn't just a little, his heart accelerated with every step he made, the road taking him to Sharingan's Kingdom.

 

He had to admit to himself that he missed Sharingan, even though he was never welcome there. Yet, he missed the beauty of the kingdom and the warmth between the families there, even if none of that warmth was directed at him. The only `warmth' he felt from the village was the heated glares.

 

Naruto glanced at the fox kit in his arms. It was sleeping soundlessly. `It's kinda cute when it sleeps.' He thought. `Yoshi, the faster I get there and leave the better.'

 

He was almost flying, his feet grazing only slightly the earth. After an hour, he would reach the gates.

 

 

 

*************-----------------**************************--------- --------***************

 

 

 

Itachi was a patient man. He truly was. Yet, thirty-four minutes already flew by and still no sign from the demon fox. His head turned upwards and frowned. The sky was painted in many colors - light pink, orange, yellow and red - a sign that it was already sunset. He almost grinned in anticipation when he heard a scream from the tower's guard.

 

“I-It's here!!! Your Majesty, you should t-take shelter for your own sa…” A kunai zoomed past his ear. The guard shrieked in surprise and looked in awe at his king. He gulped. The king wasn't happy.

 

“Shut up” The voice made the guard gulp again. “Why take shelter? To miss the fun?” Itachi put on his most devilish smirk. The guard gulped again and retreated himself.

 

“I apologize profoundly, my king.” He bowed until his nose touched the ground and dashed to his post.

 

“Humph. Idiots.” Itachi sighed. He needed braver guards. What if there was a war and he wasn't in the country? The kingdom would fall to ruins. He added `incompetents' under his breath.

 

He heard the sound of the kingdom's siren, alerting danger. The villagers took shelter in their homes and some started praying for their king's safety. They knew he was powerful, the most powerful king the village ever had, yet, they still feared for their great king's health.

 

Nine red gigantic tails, red fur and sharp fangs could be seen approaching the gates at a fast rate. A loud snarl could be heard, making many guards and men retreat some steps back from fear.

 

Itachi grinned. “Let the fun begin.” The fox's voice made fear wash all over Sharingan.

 

“I came here in search for our lord. If you want me to spare some of your lives, then bring him over here.” Its red eyes scanned the area looking for his lord, yet, when he didn't saw him and no one made no move to bring him, he was furious. It knew how humans treated demons, they killed them, out of fear, even when they were just babies and harmless. It just hated humans, and he was going to kill them all.

 

“Very well, it was your choice. Prepare to die, humans.” As this said, it dashed at incredible speed, rage-blinded, killing every guard that was in its way.

 

It torn apart one by one, leaving only body parts and blood scattered everywhere. Its eyes picked every movement from the humans, yet, he saw a man standing, not doing anything. It was at least, surprised, because human behavior, it knew too well.

 

It advanced to Itachi, who in his turn was still grinning like there was no day tomorrow. No one knew, yet, Itachi wasn't king by blood, no.

 

Mikoto and Fugaku, in the past, had tried many times to give a heir to their kingdom, yet, after many tries, Fugaku started to believe his wife was impotent of pregnancy. So, he did what he thought it was the best for everyone - he searched for a baby boy closer to the family's aspects (black hair, pale skin). That was then he found Itachi. He was overjoyed to find a baby that resembled so well the Uchiha royal family. The only problem was his family. They didn't want to give Itachi, because, they being poor, wanted to sold him to a slave auction. With his good traits, they were sure he would grow into a handsome man and give them a fortune.

 

Fugaku could buy the boy, yet it would arise too many suspicions - the family demanded too much money, and the kingdom would notice the economic gap - so he decided to send to kill the family, by his most faithful guards. After all, who would notice the lack of a poor `gutter' family?

 

After the murderer, the baby was in his arms and no one ever suspected anything. His wife had been a little reluctant at first, yet she accepted the murderer and the baby.

 

After quite some time, 5 years exactly, the boy grew to be a prodigy, even in his early age. He had been gifted in all areas - swordsmanship, horse riding, etiquette, gracefulness, looks, etc. Fugaku and Mikoto were at least, prideful of their `son'. It was then that the most unexpected happened - Mikoto was pregnant of Sasuke.

 

Fugaku had been overjoyed to have a son of his own, yet, he couldn't name Sasuke as the king seeing that Itachi was already well known in the whole kingdom. If he killed the boy or `abandoned' him, it would have brought many questions, and Itachi was perfect for the next king, so they kept him as the heir, and Sasuke as the prince. They were even more surprised by how Sasuke looked as Itachi - everything was going smoothly for them. No one would ever doubt about anything - the Uchihas' royal family was perfect.

 

Yet, after Itachi's 9 years old, the boy discovered about his past when he heard his `parents' talk about the murderer of his real family. They were celebrating with champagne about their well done job. It seemed that that was the day when Itachi's parents were killed and he was brought in the royal family.

 

Feeling hurt and betrayed by his own family and his `adoptive' one, he decided to still take the throne and take revenge on kingdom.

 

That's why, currently, Itachi was looking in the demon's blood red eyes as his and felt no fear. This was the perfect opportunity to take his revenge on the kingdom. For him, it was more enjoyable to see death than making it. The blood is hard to wash away from your hands.

 

“I like your eyes, human.” The fox said. It couldn't smell fear, neither courage. Nothing. The human smelt like nothing. That amused it. After all, it never saw such human in his life, so he decided to let this one live. Maybe he was some psycho and kill humans. That was something to its advantage.

 

“Aren't you going to stop me? After all, you're their king.” Even if the human didn't smell anything, his aura was enough to see that he was the most powerful between the humans in his kingdom.

 

“Hn. Why? Miss the fun of watching them die and hear their pained screams?” A chilly smirk appeared on his face. “They deserve to die.”

 

“Very well. Don't be surprised to not see even one living human.”

“I won't. After all, that's what I want.”

 

With that, the fox gave him a sharp grin and left to `play'.

 

*************-----------------**************************--------- --------***************

 

 

Naruto's stomach started to hurt. He didn't know why, yet it clenched painfully inside. His head became heavier and he just wanted to make the feeling stop. He was near the gates. “Just a bit more and we're there, kitsune-chan.”

 

The fox glared playfully at him and yawned loudly. His ears perked up and his eyes widened.

“Human, move faster.”

 

Ignoring being called `human' and obeying the little fox a bit indignantly, he dashed towards the gates. When he arrived, the sight greeting him was something unimaginable - a gigantic demon fox was at the gates, snarling and swooshing its tails to the endless attacking guards. Awkwardly, Naruto almost felt that it was having fun and was just playing with the `humans'.

 

He looked again at the fox in interrogation and, almost as sensing him, the fox answered.

“He's my father. You humans are in deep trouble. He is always hot blooded and he simply destroys every human village across his path.”

 

“What do you mean by that?! Will Sharingan be destroyed?!” He just couldn't stand knowing that his `home' was going to be destroyed.

 

“Yes.”

 

“Why is he here?!”

“Well, I could say it's most of my fault. He was looking for me. Yet, we were already crossing paths with your land, human.” Naruto fummed. How could the fox say that so calmly? Millions of lives were going to be destroyed.

 

“Look here, it's my home, so no one's gonna destroy it.” The fox shrugged, bored. “Would you like to see your own home destroyed, along with your family? Would you just sit there and watch it?”

 

The fox seemed to think about it, when suddenly, a huge tree was flying in their direction.

Naruto's animalistic reflexes acted on their own. Grabbing the fox, he jumped high and evaded the tree that would probably squash them like bugs if they would have standed in the same place some seconds ago.

 

“Can't you ask your father to stop this?” He pleaded “Please?”

 

“Sorry. When my father's like that, he won't hear anyone. Anyone fool enough to cross his path now, will be utterly destroyed. Demon foxes are like that.”

 

“Then, why aren't you like that?”

 

“I'm still growing. When my demon blood will achieve a mature state, I will be just like father.” The fox's gaze directed to his father, who currently destroyed the front gates. You could see guards running madly for their lives. All but one. The fox squinted its eyes. Who was that fool? Nevertheless, he was sat on a pile of bodies, smiling. He could only distinguish blood-red eyes and black long hair. It mentally shrugged. It wasn't his problem. Even if he had a softer spot than the other foxes for humans, he had already seen many of them dying by his father's claws. One less wouldn't make a difference.

 

“Fine, fox. Be it like that. But I won't stand here and watch my land being destroyed.”

Naruto dashed to the town square, where the fox was still engorged in a battle with Itachi. Even though Naruto didn't knew that the man's name's Itachi and that he was the king, he thought the man was a fool. How are you supposed to win against a demon? He shook his head. You can't win against a demon. That's for sure, especially as the one attacking his home.

 

`I won't allow it. I hate death and destruction.'

Naruto had an idea. If you can't tame a beast, sooth it. He hated war, so he always thought that `talking' was the best way to avoid war and disasters.

 

When he arrived at the town square, he grimaced at the sight - pile of bodies everywhere, and what was left of them. He almost felt like crying, yet he ignored the painful clenching feeling in his chest.

 

He never noticed the inhuman blood-red eyes fixed on him.

 

His blue eyes darted to where the fox was, it seemed chewing on something or someone. Just imagining it almost made Naruto throw up. With shaky legs, he went to confront the demon face to face.

 

The fox spat what it had on its mouth and looked at Naruto with red blood eyes, a small grin reappearing on its face, yet this grin had nothing to do with happiness. Nope, it was something akin to you'll-be-my-next-meal. Naruto gulped.

 

“Ningen. I will give you ten seconds to say your last words. You get the privilege because you were actually fool enough to cross my path.” Naruto gulped again.

 

He was scared. Yet, his blood was hot in his veins, his head now highlighted and his body lighter. He didn't know what could have caused it, yet, he deduced it was adrenaline, from what, he didn't knew neither cared.

 

He would protect his home…

Difficulty - 4

 

Q: Why do you think that Naruto is treated as 'Naruto-sama' in the forest?

 

A: Many of you were close to it and few were the ones that got the jack point. Naruto is addressed as `sama' because his biological mother was a demon and his father was only human. That makes him a hanyou (half human, half demon). The power to talk to Nature and animals is related to it, because, having half blood of a demon, and a demon being an animal, logically, he still could talk to animals. Even though Naruto is a hanyou, he is still strong. Some of the best hanyous are even stronger than full blood demons, due to the combination of the two powers - human and demon. The ex-caretaker of Naruto told him that his parents were killed because they were not meant to be, yet Arashi didn't want to let go of his husband, neither his son. The reason of Naruto living in the forest was due to Arashi, wanting to protect his son from being killed.
