The Crimson Uchiha

**Naruto's POV.** It's been two months now. And these two months were real hell. Day after day all I did was perform various physical activities and exercises. My whole body just hurt. And Yuji, like a real Sadist, continued my training, sometimes increasing it tenfold. And when I said that I was ready and could fight with him, all he did was say that I was weak and incapable of anything. This made me angry. It made me very angry. As for me, Yuji is just some weak old man with the habits of a Sadist. I also found out that he is 48 years old. And how he told me he was two or six years older than a certain Fugaku, I don’t remember. I only remember that this Fugaku is also over forty. But this is not important now, but the important thing is that I could only rest for 4 hours. And instead of giving me a normal rest, he started giving me all sorts of books and forcing me to read. And he went into the kitchen and poured himself something. Yes, he was also an avid drunk. But in his defense, we can say that I only saw him drunk a couple of times, and then I met him by chance on the street. Usually he got drunk about 4 times a week, but he drank a lot only when visiting his drinking buddies or in a bar, and he basically never went home drunk. And it’s possible that he’ll go drinking today too. And this means that I will have the whole night ahead. But it’s just that I have so little strength left that as soon as I lie down on the bed, I instantly fall asleep. By the way, I live in my own room, which was many times better than my last apartment. This room was located on the second floor. And to my great regret, even in my sleep I cannot rest properly. Because as soon as I fall asleep, I immediately end up in the sewer with a fox, where he usually yells at me and threatens me. But as for me. The worst thing is when he just stands on his paws and silently watches you with his pupils. And it does something to you that makes you feel like someone is behind you and intends to kill you. From which even closing your eyes you cannot escape from fear. True, for the first two weeks there was really panic fear and then I just got used to it. I’m used to the fact that the fox just yells and threatens, or he’s wedged and he’s silent, watching me. In my subconscious, I basically tried to do everything that I couldn’t do in a awake state. True, in a huge and dark puddle of water there are very few prospects for realizing your plans. Why, instead of dreams, I end up in this sewer, I don’t know. I even asked the fox a couple of times, to which he only began to yell even more. I knew for sure that the fox and I would not get along for a long time. And here I am again standing at Yuji’s private training ground, and waiting for new orders from Yuji. - So little one. Today I'm kind, so run only 10 kilometers, and then call me. Well, I’m going to the kitchen for a while. So when you're done, call me and I'll give you new orders. - Yuji said, already thinking about how he would taste his new Martini. But I had no choice but to obey and start running the hellish number of 10,000 meters. I started running and surprisingly after the first kilometer. I am not tired. Still, Yuji’s training is making itself felt. But now, after three kilometers, I felt very tired. And already at the seventh kilometer, I ran as hard as I could. Overcoming acute and severe pain in the legs. I was often struck by the thought that it would be better if I stayed to live alone. But I immediately threw these thoughts out of my head. After all, Yuji, unlike everyone except some people, accepted me for who I am, and for two months, he gave me warmth that I never had, I continued to run, thinking about how in a couple of years I will become very powerful Shinobi. And I will defeat entire armies, but all these dreams were destroyed by pain, which said so, not in this life. And so, having run all 10 kilometers, I, powerless and tired, fell on the grass and began to lie along the way, greedily inhaling the air. And after lying there for about another hour, I got up and headed towards the house. Having entered it, I headed to the kitchen to say about my success. “Have you finished Naruto yet?” Yuji asked me a question. “Yes,” I answered without hesitation. “Well then, now push-ups 50 times, then squats 150 times and......” before he could finish, I interrupted him. - Yuji-san. Can I please start training like a Ninja? I want to throw Shurikens and create cool techniques. “I asked Yuji, looking pitifully into his eyes. And Yuji, unable to resist me, agreed. - Okay Naruto, then go to the training ground and I'll go get the iron. - Yuuji said. — Maybe it’s better if we go to the clan training ground? - I asked Yuji. - Why do you want it? - Yuji asked me. “Because Toneri usually trains at the clan training ground,” I answered Yuji’s question, simultaneously hoping for a positive answer. - Hah, that's how it is. Well, if you want to train with your friend, then let's go. — Heading towards the exit he said **Flashback to Naruto.** I was walking around the Uchiha quarter as usual. Looking for your Guardian. I understood well that if I didn’t stop my Guardian from drinking in time Alcohol, then the next day he will grumble as usual because of the pain in his head. And when I found it, I realized that I was late. Yuuji was already completely drunk. Which means it was useless to tell him anything. And there was no point. All the same, the hangover will take its toll and defeat the unfortunate drunk. I decided that it would be better to just take a walk around the evening quarter. There were surprisingly few people. Usually at this time the Uchihas often walked or went somewhere. I just sat down on the bench and began to look at the moon. And after 17 minutes of watching, a boy my age approached me. He had jet black eyes and black brown hair. He was wearing a white T-shirt that had different patterns on the shoulders. He also wore blue shorts with several pockets, and he was wearing standard blue Shinobi sandals. - What is your name? - asked this boy. To which I replied. “My name is Naruto,” I said my name. “What clan are you from?” He asked, looking into my eyes. . - I am from the Uchiha clan. Can't you see it from me? — I answered, simultaneously showing the coat of arms of the Uchiha clan that was painted on my back. - It's strange. You have yellow hair with blue eyes while the Uchihas have black or brown hair. And the eyes are black. “He asked me a question again, to which I quickly answered. - some of my parents were Uzumaki and some were Uchiha. That's why I have these colors. “I answered, noticeably saddened. - Maybe we should leave Shuriken? “He asked me, taking out from his pocket several Shuriken, whose tips were hidden by some pads. - I don't know how to throw them. — I answered without a drop of emotion. “Honestly, I don’t know how to throw them either, that’s why I came here to learn how to throw Shuriken,” he answered. - Well, okay, let's try. What is your name anyway? — I asked my question looking at my interlocutor. - My name is Toneri Uchiha. - He will answer. To which he extended his hand to him and said - nice to meet you - to which he also extended his hand and shook my hand. And he answered the same. After which we went to the Uchiha training ground and began throwing Shurikens. And after 3 hours we parted ways, simultaneously agreeing to meet here in a week. **End of Flashback.** I walked around the block, already imagining how I would skillfully throw Shuriken. And Yuji followed me thinking about something. And when we arrived at the training ground, Toneri was already there. I grabbed the small bag from Yuuji's hands and ran towards Toneri. After which I greeted him and began to take out Shurikens from the bag and in addition to them there were also Simbons and Kunai. I picked up Shurikens and Toneri began throwing Shurikens. But we weren't very good at it. And Yuji just said in his thoughts - Idiots - “You are throwing them completely wrong.” Yuji stated, taking 3 Shuriken from me, after which he pressed them between his fingers and began to show us the correct movements and what position the hand should be in for the Shuriken to fly straight and fast. After which he threw them and all 3 Shuriken flew at the target at very high speed and all 3 Shuriken successfully hit right into the center, simultaneously breaking through the target. Toneri and I's impressions were excellent. Yuji has turned into a very cool ninja in our eyes. Then we started repeating after him and after a couple of hours of misses we were already making accurate shots at the target. True, we only managed to get into area 3. After another 2 hours of throwing Shurikens. I said goodbye to Toneri and then headed home with Yuji. I decided that I needed to do something with the fox, otherwise he would go crazy for the rest of my life. And I decided to turn to Yuji. - Yuji-san, what should you do if you want to live in peace with one person, but he constantly yells at you? - I asked Yuji without mentioning the fox. - Hm. Honestly, I’m not an expert in this matter, but when I was still a Shinobi, I persuaded my commanders in the following way. Either I started talking to them often on various topics in order to understand each other better, and just know how to calm my commander down, or just send them to hell if you understand that talking with them is useless.” Yuji answered me. We started walking more in silence, but judging by Yuji's satisfied grin. Then he remembered that today is Thursday. This means that according to his alcoholic calendar, he will get drunk like a pig in some bar or with his drinking buddies, and will fight in an unequal battle with a hangover. We had already reached the house, after which Yuddy handed me some kind of book and made me read it. To which I muttered to myself, took the book and went to my room and began to read it. After 5 hours, I read 1/3 and went to bed, already preparing to talk with the fox. I lay down on the bed and instantly fell asleep and ended up in the sewer. And as it turned out, the fox jammed again and he silently watched me. I just headed towards him and, getting as close as possible, began to speak. - Hello. What is your name? How are you doing? Are you going to talk to me? — I tried to get the fox to talk about it, but he didn’t want to talk at all, after which I decided to go to the bank. - Tell me something if you're glad I came. - I asked him. —...................... - The fox was silent - If you respect me and consider me a strong ninja, then don’t say anything. - said again -........................ - The fox was silent. “I’m glad that we understood each other,” I said, and to my surprise the fox said. - GET OUT! - the fox roared. - Why are you so angry? I didn't do anything to you. “I asked the fox, who was clearly not happy with my premonition. -Are you still asking? And I’m here for you now! You people caught me and all my brothers and sisters and turned them into weapons. You took away our freedom and your ancestors forever became my jailers. And after that you ask why am I angry!?? “The fox screamed and tried to pierce me with his claws. But they seemed to hit an invisible wall. - Listen, I didn’t want it to live in me. I would prefer not to be a Jinchuriki, but no one asked me when I was born. Just like no one asked you if you wanted to be a weapon. Just like you, ordinary people consider me a monster, but for Konoha I am most likely just like you as a weapon. Maybe we should stop biting each other and start at least stopping fighting with each other and start talking to each other. Or maybe be friends. “I said everything I wanted, simultaneously looking at the fox’s face, which was changing greatly with every second. I just decided to check if I could improve my relationship with the fox and created a Shogi board along with its figures, and invited the fox to play. To which he extended his claw and moved the figure, thereby making his move. I also didn’t hesitate and rearranged my piece and in the end we started playing with the fox. While talking at the same time. - Hey fox. And how old are you? — I asked a question that interested me. “I’m already over a thousand.” As do my brothers and sisters. - said the fox - By the way, you said that you have brothers and sisters, does this mean that there are even more huge Foxes like you? — I asked the fox looking at his face. - No. They are not foxes. There are 9 of us in total and I am the strongest among them. After all, I have 9 tails. And the weakest is the one-tailed raccoon. He's also an idiot and arrogant like I don't know who. - said the fox grinning. - Wow. So I am the strongest Jinchuriki. - I was happy. - No. You are a weakling, the strongest Jinchuriki is the one who is stronger than each of the other 9 Jinchuriki. And now you may be the weakest among them all. - The fox answered. Instantly destroying all my pride. - Hey fox. Do you even have a name?— I asked another question. At first the fox didn’t change his face at all, but after 3 seconds he was very surprised and again pierced me with his gaze. “What did you say now?” the fox asked syllable by syllable, to which I immediately asked his name. The fox was even more surprised and clearly shocked. But I will still return to my former appearance, he replied. “My name is Kurama,” the fox answered with a very thoughtful look. And we continued to play. **the next day** Naruto woke up around 9 am. The mood was great, because today he finally spent his night normally, and perhaps even managed to make friends with Kurama. Well, next night I’ll talk a lot with him and play cards, I think, but now I’ll have to wash my face, then have breakfast and go to train. And then you will need to go to the store and buy brine. Otherwise, Yuji-san will again grumble all day about his hangover. Inadvertently, I remembered how about a month ago I met a drunken Yuji on the street. I started asking him why he got so drunk and he answered me that it was a very difficult battle with a hangover. And that when he gets drunk, he trains his body in order to one day defeat the Hangover once and for all. Along the way, he also talked all sorts of nonsense. For example, in 16 years a white creature with a red eye in its forehead and horns will descend to earth. Or that Konoha will be attacked by a psycho with piercings. And then he generally stated that my great-grandfather was a one-eyed, offended man with a white face on his chest. Naturally, I didn’t want to believe this nonsense. But it was still worth remembering so that you could tell these stories and laugh later. And I think I already know what I’ll be talking about with Kurama. But now I wash my face and go to breakfast. But unfortunately, due to the fact that Yuji was still sleeping, there was no breakfast. So Naruto decided to use the emergency supply, which was a hiding place that was located under the floor, and there was a table above it. This cache contained about 10 packs of ramen. I took one of them in my hands, opened the package with ramen and then poured boiling water over it, and began to wait 5 minutes. And after waiting, I removed the wrapper and began to eat. Then I got up and went to train. My plan was to run 10 laps and then start throwing Kunai. And I started running. While running, I couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. All the time it seemed to me that someone was closely watching me, my instincts were screaming about danger. I often looked at everything in a circle, trying to find at least some sign of surveillance. And then I heard a roar in my head. It was Kurama screaming. He screamed and said that they are bastards, I’ll kill you. And then, quite by chance, I noticed some strange object among the foliage and, looking closer, I was horrified. It was a mask black mask with ten yellow stripes. What came from his one right eye. These stripes looked like tails. I stood rooted to the spot and looked at him with fear. He didn't move at all. And he looked straight at me with his completely empty gaze. And then a red flash appeared in his hole. And looking closer, I saw that it was the Sharingan. And then this mask began to be sucked into the hole. And then my mother disappeared. But the feeling of danger never went away. I decided to run into the house as soon as possible to call Yuji. But I was stopped by the fact that out of nowhere in front of me, a Masker appeared in the funnel, looking at me with an absolutely indifferent look. I remembered advice from some book on advice for waging war. Which said that the best defense tactic is attack. After which I took a kunai and threw it at Masochnik, but I caught it with my hand without any problems. I ran, planning to throw Kunaemi and Shuriken at him. Along the way, he picked up a very heavy stone and put it in his pocket. The mask man just stood there, and then disappeared into the funnel again, and I, already anticipating what would happen next, took the Shuriken in my hands and threw the Kunai in all directions. And lo and behold, I heard a quiet hissing. And looking in the direction of the sound, I saw the Masker in whose leg a Kunai was sticking out. But he still didn’t say anything, and didn’t even begin to pull out the Kunai. Most likely to prevent excessive blood loss. I continued to run while looking back, waiting for him to disappear, simultaneously screaming and calling for help. But apparently Yuji was not at home. And then the Masker disappeared into the funnel again and I threw a lot of Kunai in all directions, but they all flew past. I began to look for the Masker and looking at the top I saw the Masker who was looking at me with the same indifferent look. And then he started sucking me into the funnel and I couldn't do anything about it. I felt like my body was being stretched greatly, the feeling was not only not pleasant, but rather unusual. Any attempts I made to get out were countless. The only right idea came to my mind. I took the stone I had picked up in my hand and hit myself on the head with all my might. After which I passed out. And I found myself already in the sewer and looking at Kurama. “Kurama, I urgently need your help!” What should I do? If I don’t do something urgently, I’ll be sucked into God knows where! “I screamed, unable to calm down. - Naruto, now you urgently need to slightly tear the seal that is on my cage. Looking for this, a very strong surge of chakra will occur. This person will most likely be very much adored. And also all the strong Shinobi, including the Hokage, will feel a surge of chakra and think that I am starting to get out and they will come running here and then you can be saved. - Kurama said to which I agreed and quickly ran up to the seal but it was too high but the fox helped me rise with your tail, and when my hand was raised at the level of this seal, I took its tip and was about to tear it, when suddenly an unknown hand grabbed my hand, I turned towards the hand and I was horrified. It was the same Masochnik. He offered his hand to his mask. And showing his index finger, he began to move it left and right together with his hand, thereby saying “aya yay” “you can’t” “that’s not good” after which he swung his fist and hit me in the face. And I flew several meters away. The Fox growled at the Masker. And he looked at him with his Sharingan. And judging by the surprised eye, he failed to subjugate Kurama. - Hah, what Uchiha carrion. Don't have enough chakra to subdue me? It’s not surprising, because now I’m in prison and not free.” The fox bared his teeth, feeling his superiority. The Masochnik himself, without saying anything in response to the fox, cast his gaze at me and began to slowly approach me. “Naruto, your mind is a sewer, you can change it as you please, but it’s not easy.” Now you need to really concentrate and imagine something to defeat him. Otherwise you will die. - Kurama said, clearly worried about me. I understood Kurama's idea, but I couldn't implement it. I knew that I had to break the seal with anything valuable. But first I need to either defeat or bypass the Masochnik. I began to run in order to get around the Masochnik, but he instantly moved in the funnel towards me and dealt a strong blow to my stomach, and then hit my face with his knee. I tried to dodge or strike, but everything was even. I really lacked speed. And the Masker continued and continued to beat me, I remembered the day when those Shinobi beat me. I remembered how helpless I was. And now nothing has changed. I started to get really angry with myself. Because he is not capable of anything. Fury got the better of me and I, putting all my anger and fury into my fist, hit the Maslyanik and lo and behold, this blow turned out to be extremely strong because the Maslyanik flew several tens of meters away. - Well done Naruto. Keep getting angry and hitting him. - Kurama shouted. I pushed my sleeves back. He began to slowly walk towards the Masker. Yes, and he himself started walking towards me. After which we ran at each other, I swung at him and my fist went through him, and when I returned my fist to its original Soviet state, the Masochnik dealt his blow to my face, which made me stagger badly. Then the mask man dealt another blow which hit me in the stomach. And I hit him again, but my fist missed again. And he already kicked me, and I flew several meters back. I got up a lot and attacked him again. He just brought his fist into Masochnik’s stomach and he brought his fist into my face. And so I received a strong blow to the face which caused me severe pain, but my fist, which was aimed at the Masochnik’s stomach, did not go through but hit him in the stomach and he flew several meters back. Hah, I finally understand how his technique works. I got up and ran towards the Masochnik again, and he again just stood there. I had already come up with my plan and began to implement it. I jumped on the Butter Man and, as planned, walked through him and after waiting for him to turn to me, I turned sharply in the air and kicked the Masl Man in the head with my foot and then punched him in the stomach with my fist and then punched him in the face, causing him to fly back a good 100 meters. And then I ran to Kurama and jumping on his tail, I instantly tore the seal, or rather, tore it quite a bit, when someone grabbed my hand again and on reflex hit him, or rather her in the face. The one I hit was clearly stunned, but answered me and with her palm gave me a strong slap in the face, so strong that I flew 5 meters away. I stood up and, not paying attention to her, ran back to the seal. But she stopped me by grabbing me and first turning me around, then twisting my arm. I just started screaming and asking her to let me go. - What are you doing, boy? Why are you trying so hard to free this fox? — She was indignant. I just prepared my fists again and looked at the red-haired girl with some pieces of paper on which some symbols were written and the pieces of paper themselves were on a small thread and she was tying this girl’s hair and at the same time looking at the Masker. And the red-haired girl grimaced with dissatisfaction because I was about to hit her again. But she also drew attention to the Masker who approached me, looking at this girl. And the girl, apparently understanding something, began to draw various symbols from her chakra, and then the space, along with the seal, and me and the red-haired girl, was surrounded by a transparent wall with a blue tint. And the Masochnik, seeing this, began to hit this wall. - So let's start from the beginning. What are you doing? And who is this person? - She asked me while looking at the Masker, who had already begun to set the wall on fire with a black flame. “I am Naruto Uchiha and I am Kurama’s jinchuuriki, I want to break the seal to save my life in the real world.” And for one thing, attract the attention of the entire Konoha army. And this man came for me and now, no matter how strange it may sound, he is sucking me in, and when he sucks me in, I will clearly not have a bright future. - I answered. - Well, I’ll let you tear it, but know that this can greatly harm you. “She answered, after which I walked up to Kurama’s tail and, climbing on it, he lifted me up to the seal and then I tore the seal, and immediately returned to the real world. A very strong chakra began to come out of me, which immediately began to burn the Masochnik’s entire body, which is why he stopped sucking me in. And I, filled with energy, immediately pounced on him and hit him. But my blow in the real world was not as strong as in my mind. I just needed to buy time. I knew that the Hokage was already coming here. I continued to run away from the Masochnik, but then something happened that made me very tense, namely, the Masochnik got into a fighting stance. Which meant he was serious now. And he already started throwing Kunai and shuriken at me. And the kunai that was sticking out in his leg was already in his hand and he threw it at my leg. But I somehow dodged, but the next ones hit me. Mainly in the legs and arms. And I fell to the ground writhing in pain. The mask man began to slowly approach me but was stopped by Yuji who appeared. Yuddy stood in a fighting stance and when he saw me, his face did not change in any way, but obvious anger was visible in his eyes. After which he turned towards the Masochnik and began to approach him. “For what you did to my student, I won’t leave a living place behind you.” - Yuji said, activating his Mangeko Sharingan. - Yuji-san, he is capable of becoming intangible, disappearing into a whirlpool and being sucked into a whirlpool. Yuji began to approach the Masker and he ran towards Yuji. Yuji brought his blow to Masachnik, and I saw how the leaves that were falling from the trees began to pass through Masochnik, but then his intangibility suddenly disappeared and Yuji’s blow clearly flew into Masachnik’s face. And the blow was so powerful that Masochnik flew 50 meters and hit a tree hard. Yuji very quickly approached the Mammy Man and raised his blow again, and before it hit, I saw strong shock and fear in the Mammy Man’s only eye. And here comes another blow. And the Masker's mask shattered into pieces and a completely bloody face was revealed; large pieces of the mask were sticking out in many places; they broke due to the impact and pierced the skin of the Former Masker. Then Masochnik suddenly stood up and tried to run away, but he stumbled and fell. And Yuji, slowly approaching the former Masochnik, began to prepare a new blow. And the Masochnik only managed to say in a very pitiful voice and with incredible fear in his eyes, “Please,” and another blow hit the Masochnik in the face, and a very strong blow made a hole in the ground with a radius of almost a meter. And the Masker was finally able to disappear into the funnel. Just a minute passed. Naruto thought to himself. Yuji began to quickly approach me. And I decided that enough was enough and then I passed out.
