From Uzumaki to Uchiha

Chapter 1

Yo! This is a little idea of mine that I thought would be interesting to write. This is a minor story while I focus on my others: Reincarnation Fun and Edo Tensei: Resurrecting Gods so it may not be updated as often.

Quick note. The Indra and Asura transmigration doesn't exist here, It just wouldn't work with what Naruto's personality and goals are going to be(in the far off future I hope. I want proper character development).

I apologise in advance for bad grammar

I hope you enjoy.

It was certainly a cliché setting... That all bad and dark events happen in an ominous and creepy place.

The Forest of Death could be described as such a place. The giant trees whose branches spread so far that shielded the sky from view, only allowing small strings of light breaking through

The inhabitants of the giant forest; many species including giant centipedes, tigers, bears and leaches.

There were many things that made the forest ominous, but the atmosphere, the air itself made the forest the most foreboding

Or...

Perhaps it was the fact that the unfortunate genins of Konoha, Suna, Oto, Taki, Ame and Kusa were inside of the forest. Stuck and vulnerable. Until they acquired both a Heaven and Earth scroll and succeeded to reach the tower that was located in the center of the forest, The 5 days that were given to accomplish the aforementioned task ran out or... they died. Either by the efforts of a fellow human or by the inhabitants of the forest.

The situation that faced Team 7 of Konoha - which consisted of Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto - was none of the above. In fact, Team 7 had gotten themselves into one of the worst situations imaginable.

The one in a thousand chance that they - As fresh genin with only one serious mission under their belt- had happened to participate in this particular Chunin exam.

This chunin exam where there were many plots to be had. The biggest and the most threatening to Team 7 at this moment would be the fact that one of Konohagakure's most dangerous Missing-nin -Orochimaru of the Sannin- happened to be in Konoha. With several plans in mind.

One... To Invade and destroy Konohagakure no Sato,

Two... To kill his former sensei - Sarutobi Hiruzen, Sandaime Hokage.

Three... To acquire the living body of one Uchiha Sasuke. Last Uchiha remaining in Konoha, for his bloodline.

The Sharingan or Copy wheel eye. The bloodline of the Ancient clan of the Uchiha, it was said to originate from the Rikudo Sennin, Sage of the six paths. But this was not known to be actually true or not.

But, the common belief that Young Sasuke is the last of the Uchiha remaining in Konoha wasn't necessarily true.

There was, in fact, one other, that shared the coveted blood of the Uchiha. However, the blood ties were thin. Diluted by the blood of a minor clan, then the blood of a sister clan to the Uchiha's most hated enemy.

The minor clan: The Namikaze. A now extinct clan, they originated in Fire Country and remained a minor clan during the Warring clan days, they died out just after the forming of the Hidden villages.

The sister clan: The Uzumaki Clan of Whirlpool. Also mostly extinct, few Uzumaki escaped the massacre of Uzushiogakure and now wander the lands as vagabonds or settle in obscure villages to hide from the forces of Iwa, Kumo and Kiri who seek to exterminate the remains of the clan. A continuation of their attack many years ago.

The enemy: The Senju Clan of Konoha, formerly of the Forest. The Senju clan also seem to be gone with time. Only one Senju remains in the world. Senju Tsunade, granddaughter of Senju Hashirama -Shodai Hokage of Konoha.- Tsunade was a former Konoha Kunoichi, A member of the Sannin and a sad woman who now wanders the nations, Gambling her money away in grief.

Normally, this Uchiha would have never awakened his Sharingan and would have remained in obscurity, growing up as an Uzumaki and a Jinchuriki of the most powerful Bijū, Kyūbi no Yoko or as known to some: Kurama.

Well, normal doesn't apply to Fuinjutsu, an obscure art not very known to many as out was a difficult path to master, also the secrets and most complex seals were lost with the destruction of the Uzumaki and Namikaze clans. Both who specialized in the area.

Also the fact that a mere apprentice - to Uzumaki standards - messed with, what is and forever will be, the most complex seal on the planet.

Orochimaru never knew what he had done to the seal. After all, you never know what could happen when you mess with a seal made by the combined efforts of the Uzumaki and the Namikaze, never mind that it was touched by the Shinigami soon after it came into effect.

The possibilities were endless, As chakra touched by the fabled god of death could bring great change... Or...

...The end of the world as we know it...

Four stood in the branches of the massive trees that populated the forest, a tension heavy silence and killing intent hung in the air, suffocating those not accustomed to the feeling. Only one in the group could.

For a matter of fact, only three stood. One was suspended in the air by a tongue that wrapped around his stomach.

"He he. So the Kyūbi brat is still alive.." Orochimaru said, somehow managing to speak clearly with his tongue sticking out.

"When your emotions are heightened the power of the Kyūbi overflows... Interesting..

Oh my... The seal is visible" the snake summoner continued, his hands in a strange seal.

Orochimaru drew back his right hand, the fingertips catching ablaze with eerie purple fire also, faintly glowing kanji were visible in the purple blaze each finger holding a different element. The left hand held the other, stabilizing it.

"Gogyō Fūin!(Five Elements Seal)"

The snake man lunged forward, slamming his fiery hand upon the visible seal on Naruto's stomach.

"Sasuke-Kun! Naruto is!..." Sakura trailed off as the pressure pressing down on her increased, making her fall into silence.

Naruto screamed in pain, his face torn in a terrified and shocked expression. Soon his slitted eyes returned to their normal state and the enlarged whisker marks shrunk until the were simple lines once again. He slumped in Orochimaru's hold In near unconsciousness, faintly aware of the scroll he fought hard to obtain being ripped from his grasp.

Naruto was thrown aside, his path of flight aiming him into a tree.

Sakura panicked again, hastily throwing a kunai at the flying blonde, successfully managing to pin Naruto to the tree... Somehow.

The last thing the boy heard before falling into complete unconsciousness was the unmistakable voice of his crush screaming at something. But he could not bring himself to aid her. The pain was too much...

Meanwhile in the seal

The seal would normally resemble a sewer type place, with water running on the floor and great stone walls rising to meet the high ceiling.

There would be two pipes running along the walls, one large pipe glowing an eerie red while the other would glow a bright blue colour.

Lights would run along the high ceiling, casting their light upon the darkened halls.

It didn't look like that now.

The water was turbulent, the normally shallow river had now deepened, the clear water stained a disgusting purple. The walls were covered in cracks, small shards and fragments falling here and there as the walls crumbled and fell.

The pipes were shuddering and moving, the two normally far apart were now closing in on each other. The normal pipe looked the same but if you looked closer your would see that the bright blue had darkened some.

The large Red pipe however was going through a drastic change, from the endless darkness that was the end of the corridor, a very deep blue, almost black liquid looking substance was overtaking the red rapidly. The last remains of the red were retreating to the lighter side of the corridor where a great cage stood in an even greater room.

The room was also in shambles, the normal golden shine of the cage doors were now rusted and falling apart, but they were barely held together with sickly purple chains and a slip of paper which also looked degraded.

Behind the cage doors lay a colossal creature. It had bright red/orange fur, large bunny-like ears and a mostly vulpine appearance, the only difference was a fairly human looking torso and opposable thumbs.

Nine menacing tails waved being the fox, giving him its title of Kyūbi no Kitsune; Nine-Tailed Fox.

The red eyed fox was glaring down at the rising water, specifically at the only dry spot in the room.

A wide circle of the floor lay dry, the space was empty but not for long as something formed from the shadows, taking shape in the dry area. The form was one of the main reasons he was glaring. But the fox consolidated himself with the knowledge that he was going to be free, while his enemy would be trapped here until his host died. Mwahahahha! revenge!

Ahem. Moving on.

The room was continuing to degrade at a rapid pace. Most of the structure was about to collapse, which would reveal the new area made from the destruction.

The figure had finished forming. Revealing a relatively young looking man who had waist length black spiky hair, fair skin and black as coal eyes.

The man was clad in samurai-like crimson armour with numerous metal plates, forming protective guards along his chest, waist, shoulders and thighs.

There were also two weapons on the mans back; a beige and brown Gunbai which had a long black chain running up it. The other end of the chain was connected to the end of a kama.

The man looked stoically at the glaring Kyūbi his eyes often flicking about the room, taking in the deteriorated state of the room. The man concluded that it was a seal, considering that his pet was caged behind the bars. He last saw it in his last battle with Hashirama, when it was sealed into the mans Uzumaki wife...Mito, wasn't it?

"Kyūbi. We meet once more" Madara drawled

"Madara" Kyūbi snarled in response, his tails waving more agitatedly.

"What is wrong with this seal? It should not look like this, Uzumaki work was always looked like it was a work of art."

Kyūbi scowled before deigning to respond to the Uchiha.

"A man by the name Orochimaru I think it was, placed a seal on my host that aimed to cut my chakra off from the boy, it seemed to have worked too well"

"What do you mean?"

"In a few minutes, I will leave the boy and join my other half in the stomach of the Shinigami, Rejoice! Flesh bag. You will remain here as a substitute so the boy doesn't die, funny huh?"

"KYŪBI!..." Madara stepped forward his hand reaching back to draw his Gunbai

"Should I mention that the boy is your grandson?"

Madara stopped his advance and looked at the fox with narrowed eyes.

"My son died long ago, he was only 5 at the time, impossible for him to bear an offspring"

"Ah ah! Don't be hasty Ma-Da-Ra-Chan, your son actually had a sealing accident and managed to throw himself forward in time. He lost all his memories of you and lived a simple life in Konoha before settling down with his Uzumaki wife and becoming the Yondaime Hokage."

Madara was stunned. His son had become a Hokage?

"Interesting"

"Indeed. Listen I don't have much time but would you do me a favour?. One last thing?"

"Hn"

"Break your grandson out of his tree hugger habits, he reminds me too much of that wood using bastard, always cheery and trying to deal with everything using peace talks... Disgusting. There is also a... Thing... He has a childish crush on. How I which I could kill the pink thing but alas, I cannot. As much as I despise you and your clan, you are a worthy ninja. Make your grandson the same. He is not worth much at the moment"

"Hn. I would be doing so anyway. Any other comments?"

"Yes actually, your clan is all but dead, only two brothers remain. Thought I would let you know. Ciao!"

And with that, the giant fox dematerialized into a red blob which disappeared.

The room finally collapsed in upon itself, revealing a moon lit clearing which was located in an endless forest.

In the clearing sat a boulder. It was a strange boulder with one high platform and a lower platform. On the back of the boulder was the Uchiha symbol painted in vivid red and white.

"Dead huh?"

Madara recognised the place as the place he was named clan head, back when the villages didn't exist and it was just good old war with the Senju, in a dance to the death.

The moon was illuminated a vivid red, casting its glow everywhere, it had a ring that had one tomoe circling around it upon the front.

Madara looked up at the moon with a mourning gaze. Izuna... Minato...

His gaze was drawn back to the ground when he heard a gentle thump.

An unconscious blond lay on the soft grass, his face set in restful slumber while his chubby whiskered cheeks twitched here and there.

The boy wore an atrocious orange and blue jumpsuit which clashed horribly with his bright golden hair. Other than that, the boy wore normal ninja attire.

Madara walked over to the boulder and sat up on the higher ledge, watching his grandson with a close eye just in case something happened.

A few hours later the boy began to wake, his eyes fluttering before snapping open revealing bright blue eyes which had a thick ring of black around the edge.

The boy sat up sluggishly, his hand coming up slowly to rub the sleep out of his eyes. He yawned before taking a good look around and noticing Madara sitting on the rocks.

Naruto jumped up and retreated several meters, a kunai materialising in his hand.

"Who are you? Where are we? What the hell is going on?" Naruto fired question after question at the silent man, forgetting tact.

"Who am I?" The man looked up at the red moon, which prompted Naruto to do the same. Naruto's eyes widened when he got a good look at the moon. It was just like Sasuke-temes eyes!

"I am Uchiha Madara"

Naruto looked at Madara with a strange look. "Uchiha? I thought teme and his brother were the last?"

"And they are. I was dead."

"Then how-"

"No more questions child. You still have ones I need to answer"

Naruto fell silent, his head turned in an embarrassed blush.

"Where are we? We are in your mind" Madara continued

Naruto looked like he was about to speak out but he fell silent just before he opened his mouth, remembering the raven haired man's words.

Madara nodded at the boy in approval, the boy learned quickly

"What is going on?" Madara looked back at the red moon, his own eyes changing to match the colour.

"I have no idea"
