The Uzumaki And Kurogane Clan - Chapter 3

Kira was right. Just this morning while going to buy food for Naruto and himself, he managed to hear people discussing the Uchiha massacre.

It seems that the only survivor of the clan was a little kid, and was now resting in the hospital.

When Kira confirmed that there were no differences in what he knew of the ‘future’ he finally was relieved. After all, he needed Sasuke Uchiha alive and alone.

After experimenting a little with his Keikkei Genkai, he came to understand that he could absorb Chakra. So a bold idea popped in his mind.

If Naruto was Ashura, wouldn’t it be the best if he became Indra?.

That was also his selfishness since having Indra Chakra will not only make him able to awaken the Sharingan, that was another cheat. Yeah, this world was full of overpowered things than break the balance.

Afterward, it will also help to evolve the Doujutsu to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan without the problems that the Uchiha’s face.

Not having to kill a family member or taking the eyes of a direct blood relative. With Indra’s Chakra, he and his descendants will be able to just make it through training and effort.

Also, a factor in this is that he never really liked the young Uchiha, yeah, he was the only survivor of his clan and the brother that he always admired became his worst enemy. But in the end, he was just problem after problem in the story as his arrogance caused various complications to Naruto and the others in the anime.

Because of these benefits, he started to prepare, for he was going to enter the Uchiha compound when Sasuke was released from medical care and take Indra’s Chakra. He was sure it was going to be easy as at this point it is still dormant so it will not be capable of resisting.

After making his plans, Kira decided that it should be time to talk to Naruto about the Bijū inside of him and prepare to leave the village.

When he reached home, he took Naruto to the small table where they ate and started talking about what they had inside, for what were they called ‘Demons’ and treated like that until now.

‘What?” Said Naruto in shock, learning that inside of them was sealed a ‘Monster’ was not something he would have never imagined.

“That’s right Naruto, the reason why we are hated by the villagers is that we contain the nine-tailed Bijū, inside you is the yang half of it while the yin part is inside me,” Said Kira to the confused boy

“Then, are we truly demons? after all, we have a monster inside of us.” Naruto said dejectedly, after all, the only thing he knew about the Bijū’s is that they were called monsters by everyone.

“No Naruto, you’re wrong we aren’t demons,” said Kira as he was nearly shouting the words that have been trapped inside of him many years now. “The demons are all those people that attacked us just because they feared us, they feared what was inside of us, but they didn’t want to look weak, because of that they only showed their hate, because it’s easier to hate something that you couldn’t understand”

While watching Naruto as he processed all of his words, Kira continued “Naruto, we have never harmed anyone, even when they beat us we didn’t retaliate” it was true, before Kira reincarnated, the young boys were just too weak to do anything against their aggressors, and after that Kira and Naruto used almost all the time they had to train, so the villagers didn’t have that many opportunities to attack them.

“Naruto, we are just the scroll that seals the kunai” Kira used an analogy so that the young boy could finally understand the truth.

“I understand Kira,” said Naruto as he finished processing the new information he just got.

“Naruto. I want to leave the village, I don’t feel safe here, I can’t call this place my home” Kira finally took the opportunity to say his true feelings.

“Where would you go” asked Naruto, and Kira answered, “I have heard that the Jinchūriki of Kumogakure isn’t treated like here, because of that I decided to go there.” As far as he can remember, Kumo never treated their Jinchūriki badly, so he decided that it would be the best place to go.

“Jinchūriki?” Naruto asked as it was the first time he heard the word, and he also wanted to know what does the treatment a Jinchūriki had in another village relates to them. “That’s what we are Naruto, a Jinchūriki is a person that has sealed a Bijū on them”

“So there are more like us,” asked Naruto with hope, he was already grateful that he wasn’t alone in his condition as he had Kira with him, but it would be even better if there were more people like them.

This feeling was born from the fact that the ‘normal people’ always treated the two of them as ‘another species’, even if Naruto didn’t like it, all the years of harsh treatment have created a division line between himself and Kira with the rest of the world. At least the world that he knew that only amounted to the village.

“Yes Naruto, there exist nine Bijūs, from the one-tailed to the nine-tailed who is the strongest of them all, but because we have half and half of the nine-tails, now there are ten Bijūs” sais Kira.

“Wow, so we are the strongest,” said Naruto with glee. it was always a good thing to be strong, more so in this world where ‘might is right’.

“Yes, but we have to meet our Bijūs and gain their approval so that they help us,” said Kira as he also wanted to meet his own Bijū.

“How do we gain their approval,” asked Naruto and Kira said “Just try to become their friend, Naruto, you need to understand that the Bijūs hate humans, so it will be hard to gain their help if they don’t trust you”

“Why do they hate humans?”

“Easy, because the Humans were the ones that hunted the Bijūs and afterward sealed them, taking away their freedom and making them weapons without a choice, they are now slaves to the whims of the ones controlling them” said Kira, he was angry to be treated like a ‘Demon’ all this time, but he couldn’t blame Kurama, after all, aside from the attack to the village, he never attacked humans on own initiative. Hell even if he wasn’t controlled to destroy the village years ago, Kira wouldn’t blame Kurama if he did it anyway, after all, more than once had he dėsɨrėd to just destroy everything.

Naruto could more or less understand what Kira said, he had been treated like a demon all his life, just because he was something he didn’t have a choice. So he could understand a little of what they feel.

“Because of that you need to be honest with them, try to become their friend by being yourself” said Kira as he knew that in the ‘original story’ Naruto managed to befriend Kurama, maybe there where some forced things just for the sake of story, but in the end it was because Naruto didn’t saw Kurama as a monster like others, instead he saw him as a companion and afterward as a friend.

“Okay Kira, I will do it, I will become the friend of the Kyūbi Dattebayo,” said Naruto with confidence, even finishing with his typical smile.

“Naruto, would you come with me to Kumo” at the question of Kira, Naruto lost his smile and started to speak “But the village” before he could continue, Kira instead said “This village and its people will never treat us as people, they will even fear us more the stronger we became, someday someone will try to kill us because they aren’t capable of controlling us”

After thinking a little, Naruto said that he will go with Kira, after all, if he had to choose between his brother and the village, he would always choose the former.

“Okey Naruto, we will leave the village after I gather somethings that will make sure we are accepted in Kumo” Kira knew that even if they could be accepted just because they were Jinchūrikis it didn’t hurt to make themselves more valuable and start the relationship with some gifts.

After Kira finished with what he wanted to talk, he told Naruto to continue training in their hideout in the Forest of Death, and act as if nothing happened.

While Naruto started trying to talk to Kurama, Kira prepared for what was to come.

It has been some days since Kira and Naruto had their talk, and today Sasuke was finally released from the hospital and was now living all alone in the Uchiha Compound.

These days Kira roughly measured his and Naruto strength and came to understand that while they may have the capabilities of a certain stage, their lack of real-life and death battles makes them weaker than others at the same level of strength with real experience.

So while he may be theoretically a peak Genin, he may only be able to beat a mid-level one. While Naruto who was better at close-quarters combat should be able to beat a newly appointed Chunin was only at the level of peak Genin.

This difference was born from the fact that Naruto was better at Taijutsu, while Kira who was better at Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, had bȧrėly some of them.

Also, Kira didn’t forget to practice with Kunais and Shurikens, thanks to using Shadow Clones he had become pretty much a master in the usage of said weapons.

When night finally came, he was standing at a safe distance from the Uchiha Compound, more exactly, the house where Sasuke was resting. While he noticed that there were some ANBU’s watching over the place, they were not doing a very good job, he could spot many ways of bypassing their security without them knowing someone was ever here.

This is the problem that the victories of the wars left behind, the people of Konoha started to grew arrogant, they believe that they are unmatched. This was the case even in the ninjas, as they instinctively relaxed too much inside their walls.

Well, this also benefited Kira, as he usually used Shadow Clones to replace themselves while going outside to train, and after years of doing this, nobody has discovered the two kids.

After bypassing the security and entering the house Kira found Sasuke training heavily, he is practicing with kunais on a training dummy, if his ragged breathing and sweating appearance could be trusted, he has been doing this for a long time.

“Water release- Dark Fog” muttered Kira, and as the vision of Sasuke was beginning to dim because of the fog, he took the chance and struck in the back of his neck knocking him out cleanly.

Without wasting any time, he started his Kekkei Genkai and searched inside the young Uchiha for some seconds, finally, he found what he has dėsɨrėd for years, and started striping Sasuke of the incredible boost he didn’t know he had.

As Indra’s Chakra was dormant, it was pretty easy to transport it inside his body, after some minutes he was all done. Seeing that Sasuke started awakening he rapidly left the house and disappeared in the darkness of the night.

“How strange,” said Sasuke after waking up, as he didn’t notice another person the whole time, he came to the conclusion that the training tired him too much, which caused him to pass out. This conclusion only served to infuriate him, as if mocking him of his weakness, just a little bit of training and he couldn’t do it.

The rage leads him to forget all and just continue training harder than before.
