《Neglected ANBU》1
Advertisement
Naruto darted across the streets, avoiding angry mobs of villagers. The citizens of Konoha were going to stop at nothing to kill the jinchuuriki of Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox. And Naruto was 2 years old.
The civilians cornered Naruto inside an alleyway, whips, knives, and clubs in hand.
'Nowhere to run now, demon brat?' The man in the lead said.
'Tou-san!' Naruto said.
Minato Namikaze, the Yondaime Hokage, stood in the corner. The Hokage shot an icy glare at Naruto.
'Good thing they aren't beating Menma and Mito. Bye, DEMON.'
Minato walked away, humming a song. He was the hero of Konoha, and the father of Menma, Mito, and the forgotten Naruto. Menma, Mito, Kushina, his wife, and himself were hailed as the village heroes for defeating the Kyuubi. Minato smiled, as the villagers began to pummel the poor child.
Kurama's tails slashed at Konohagakure shinobi. Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Konoha jounin battled the fox, launching attacks at the tailed beast.
'I'll seal Kyuubi.' Hiruzen said.
Minato grinned. He wouldn't have to die.
'Hai!' Minato said happily.
Hiruzen lunged at the fox. Using his staff to propel him, the Sandaime Hokage weaved quick handseals.
'Dead Demon Consuming Seal!'
The Shinigami appeared, ready to consume souls.
'Minato..... You will become the next Hokage.'
'Seal the beast into my son!' Kushina said, after giving birth to Naruto Uzumaki.
The Shinigami dragged Kurama into the young baby, Naruto, as Hiruzen's soul disappeared part by part.
'I wish..... for Naruto.... to be treated as... an equal.' Hiruzen collapsed, his lifeless corpse toppling to the ground.
Minato cheered.
'The Kyuubi is defeated!!' Minato announced.
The shinobi roared in delight.
'Minato, I have two twins, hail them as the heroes. I don't care about this demon anymore.' Kushina whispered.

'Same here.' Minato whispered back.
The couple hated Naruto for being Kyuubi. Kushina had first wanted Naruto to save the world when she brought him out, but when she realized that Naruto had become a jinchuuriki, she spat at Naruto in disgust.
'I, Minato Namikaze, along with Kushina Uzumaki, and our children Menma and Mito Namikaze, have saved the world! Unfortunately, Hiruzen Sarutobi here has fallen at the hands of Kyuubi. This is Naruto.' Minato declared.
The Yondaime Hokage threw Naruto on the ground, spitting at him.
'This boy is the Nine-Tails.'
The shinobi gasped.
'From now on, I will be the Hokage.' Minato said, gleeful.
From that point on, Naruto (he refused to call himself the last name of the parents that had thrown him to sleep in the attic) had been beaten up and bullied, as well as neglected by his parents. Naruto burst into tears.
'Wahhhh!!'
**Timeskip, 3 years later**
Naruto sat on the blanket he had been given as a bed. Minato and Kushina had locked him in while they celebrated Menma and Mito's birthday. Naruto's room had almost nothing, only a single blanket as his bed and a plank of wood as his desk. Naruto despised his mean parents. Naruto had longed to be a ninja so he could become acknowledged by everyone as a hero. A year ago, Naruto had found Kurama, who had started teaching him. Naruto now knew the basics, along with some D and C-Rank Fire Release, Water Release, Earth Release, Lightning Release, and Wind Release, his affinity.
'Naruto?' Kushina said coldly as she opened the door. 'Come down. It's your turn to give Menma and Mito their birthday presents.'
Naruto walked down slowly. His siblings had just started learning ninjutsu for their birthday present, he had seen them in the yard.

'Pathetic.' Naruto thought at the time.
'Our birthday present is pummeling you!' Menma grinned.
The whole Namikaze family joined in, punching Naruto.
'And disowning you! See ya!' Mito cackled.
Soon, Naruto, age 5, was sitting outside the Namikaze mansion. He had been banished.
'Kurama! I'm sad!' Wailed Naruto.
'Do not fear.' A man wearing a white robe descended into Naruto's landscape, along with 3 others. 'You have been chosen as the Child of the Prophecy, unlike your spoilt siblings. I am Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the Sage of the Six Paths.'
Naruto gasped. He had saw his name in the scrolls. Naruto had done his homework, he knew all about the ninja world, history, geography, and shinobi.
'We will grant you a power.' Asura Otsutsuki said. 'My host has been Hashirama Senju. We all will give you our chakra.'
'And gift a Kekkei Genkai to you. My host has been Madara of the Uchiha. My gift is the Sharingan, the Mangekyo Sharingan, the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and the Rinnesharingan.' Indra said.
'Mine is Hashirama's Wood Release.' Asura said.
'You shall have the Byakugan.' Hamura Otsutsuki said.
'And my gift to you is the Tailed Beast Chakra.' Hagoromo said.
Kurama said cheerfully.
'Thank you. You know him?' Naruto asked.
'Yes, I created the tailed beasts along with my brother Hamura.' Hagoromo said.
'I and my brother shall leave Hashirama and Madara here to train you.' Indra said.
'Indra is right. But as of now, you need a home. Find a clan that accepts you. And, your dojutsu will only activate if you want it to. We are gifting these gifts to you because you need them. Good Luck.' Asura said.
With a poof, the Otsutsuki disappeared.
Naruto smiled. He had been gifted power beyond what he had imagined.
'Kurama, shall we lodge in an alleyway where we shall train?' Naruto asked.
Kurama grinned.

Dungeon Scholar
Girl meets dungeon. What could go right? A story of a good-hearted Scholar driven by her compassion and curiosity. She might be a little combat averse, but um, isn't that only logical? Love me a good grimdark, but sometimes I want to read feel-good fiction that isn't pure action, romance, or comedy. The plot and characters of Dungeon Scholar won't be all happy and fluffy, and the world will be more dungeons and monsters than rainbows and puppies, but overall the sweet moments should overshadow the bitter. Let's say three dollops of sugar for every pinch of salt, with lemon slices left on the saucers? Enjoy. Note: This is NOT a typical dungeon story. If you are here for the dungeon aspect, then fair warning this will seem incredibly slow-burn to you. The dungeon will eventually become the most important 'character,' arguably, or the second-most important narratively, but you might jump out the window in frustration long before that happens. At its heart, the story's core remains 'girl meets dungeon,' not 'dungeon meets world.' (To be clear, this does or will have a plot! It's just the more conventional story-like elements contribute to Rowena Loress's greater story, not the other way around; no conflict takes center stage until it becomes personally significant to her. Meanwhile, have some Slice of Life.) Updates every Friday Cover made using Waifulabs Written using 4thewords (referral code: UZJRY55368)
