《Naruto, The Mercenary of Fate.》


 CH-1, payment has been met.

    Kushina was holding down the Nine Tailed Fox with her chakra chains, exhaustion and blood clearly visible in her face, her husband minato standing in front of their children protecting them having just defeated a masked shinobi.


    Minato: "Dead Demon Consuming Seal"


    A giant ghostly entity appeared above the blond man,wearing a white robe, long white hair, red orns on its head, black nails, a sword in its mouth, and sickly, almost purple skin.


    Shinigami: " Why do you summon me human?"


    Minato: " The nine tails must be stopped, i wish to seal the nine tails in one of my children."


    shinigami: "you know what you must give me do you not?" Minato nodded his head " yes, you may take my soul." the shinigami looked at him and nodded his head once and said "It shall be done." The shinigami then proceeds to grasp its hand toward the nine tailed fox, the soul escaping its body, the shinigami then proceeds to stuff the sole into a small todler with violet eyes and red hair. a seal appearing on her stomach, the shinigami glances at the male toddler next to her, interest sparking in the shinigami''s eyes.He is special, his soul immovable and locked in with an iron clad will, He is bound to greatnessThe shinigami thought, as the shinigami pulled closer to the boy toexamen if there was anything about the boy that spoke out to it.


    There laid a boy with sunkissed hair, and the bluest cerulean eyes the shigami had ever seen, the shinigami stretched out its arm and grasped at the boy to examin his soul and what made it so unique, it glowed a beautiful silver with a tint of gold at the edges.The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    Minato and Kushina stared at the shinigami in horror as they saw their sons soul being pulled out by the shinigami, would the payment that the shinigami be taking be their sons soul? Please so!


    as the soul was being pulled pulled out bu the shinigami it saw the soul grasp at the shinigami, the shinigami felt itself being drained of a bit of its power, the sinigami looked on in shock, and fascination.


    The boy''s hair was no longer purely blond, it now had white streaks going on in some parts of his hair, his hair no longer as spiked as before, it now had some softness to it but the ends still spiked ( Kind of like the shinigami''s hair but not so long.) The boy nowpocessed a beautiful silver eye with abit of red in the center.


    " Hahaha" the shinigami laughed, while minato and Kushina stared on in shock. " I guess i wont be taking anybody''s soul today, consider yourselves lucky, the next time i am summoned by you human i will make sure to get your soul and torment it for eternity." Minato and his wife just stood there, minato on his knees toppled over from blood loss due tot he hole in his stomach that the Nine tails had made, he passed out, Kushina was weak, but managed to crawl her way to her childrenshe held them in her arms and promissed never to let go, she rocked them and whispered to them.


    "Its ok, dont worry, it will all be okay." she was rubbing her face on them, the red haired toddler looked as her with tears in her eyes and hugged her face, the boy was staring at her with a smile, waving his arms arround.


    In the distance was a female running towards them, she was blond, and busty and appeared to be in her late thirties , next to her stood a raven haired teen, the blond ran to the downed minato and put her hands on his stomach on the hole that had appeared, herhands were glowing green, and the wound seemed to be attempting to repair. The raven haired teen was doing the same to the red haired woman. the woman saw many shinobi running towards her and her husband, she saw them pick him up and they took her children.


    " Its going to be okay, we are going to heal you up dont worry."


    was the last thing the red haired woman heard before she blacked out.

 ch.2- All mercenaries have a beginning

    Time Skip 5 years after the sealing of the Nine Tailed Fox:


    We see a Short blond with white highlights inside of a cave, this however was no regular cave, the inside was made of crystal, the boy was meditating.


    Naruto was an extremely bright young man for his age, he learned to fend for himself when he was three years old as he would often find himself starving due to their parents unyielding dedication to train his sister.


    He remembered when he was three, they had begun training naruko in chakra control, when he asked to join all he got was a stone faced no, saying he was not ready, one of his most painful memories was when his "father" was training his sister to control to nine tail''s chakra, the chakra proved to be a bit too much for naruko to handle, she became surrounded with a thick red cloak of chakra, the back appearing to be showing one tail, she moved at an incredible speed and slammed into his father, she then proceeded to slash at naruto. Naruto stood there staring in horror, staring wide eyed.


    in his head he hearda voice Eye of the Reaper.


    That very same second the red in his eye expanded,the red dot now being more apparent, a golden line going through the red in his eye, it then begins to glow silver with a tint of red, naruko could be seen almost falling asleep as she rushed to naruto, she then got on her knees and fell forwards, the red cloak of chakra rolling off of her, it then proceeded to make its way to naruto''s eye, when it was within touching distance it begame to spiral into his eye (Kind of like obito''s sharingan''s ability "Kamui") blood was now running down his eye, on left side of his chest was now tattoo of a tetractys.


    it looked like three rhombuses that were attached to a circle, arranged to look like a triangle, every point on the Rhombus where two lines were soppoused to meet were replaced with a circle, one of the circles on the rhombus up top was shadded in a bit red.


    Naruto then passed out.


    But not before he saw his father stand back up and rush towards them with a worried look in his eyes, he then picked up Naruko and using Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport them away.


    Naruto found himself sleeping on the ground, his face covered in blood, his eye back to normal, and his chest burning around where the new tattoo was, he felt more powerful, he then got up, his legs still weak from having over extended himself. he walked to the compound and found the gate locked, he had found himself locked out yet again, it was then that he realized that he has been forgotten. This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.


    In an attempt to find shelter he went to a forest, the sign said "Fourty Fourth Training ground" The infamous "Forest of Death" Naruto however had no idea at the time, he ran as fast as his exhausted body could take him, he ran aimlessly, eventually he found the shelter he was seeking, it was a very dark cave he went inside and hugged his knees for warmth and proceeded to cry.


    He didn''t know why his parents treated him the way they did, but if they were gonna treat him like he wasnt their son, then he was not going to treat them like his parent.


    as he sat there crying he suddendly felt warmth coming from behind him, he looked back and saw a white glow off in the distance, he decided to check on the light, after all, what else did he have to lose?


    about 10 minutes into the walk and the warmth was growing stronger, the light was now almost blinding causing naruto to have to close his eyes.


    five minutes later the light dissapeared, Naruto opened his eyes and when he did he was amazed,all he saw arround him was clear crystals and infront of him was a slip of paper, it was unique as it was golden and had beautifully written black words in it.


    Those not bound by fate, those that wish for change


    Sign this contract with your blood, and become Fate''s chosen blade.


    Protect the heroes of destiny or quest for a better world


    become the Mercenary of Fate,


    and bring change upon the world.


    X_________________________


    Naruto found himself drawn to the piece of paper, he wished fro change, he wanted to be stronger, he wanted someone to love him, Naruto bit deap into his thumb, drawing blood, the then stamped his thumg on the line and waited, nothing seemed to happen.


    " I Knew it was too good to be true" he said as he was beginning to leave, there was then a white light that was pulsing. Naruto turned around to find himself face to face with a woman in white, pale skin, and gorgeus black hair, she had golden eyes. her lips a lucious Pink, she looked at him for a moment and said.


    "So you wish to be my blade?" Her voice was soft and loving, yet eminated power.


    he looked at her for a second and said "Yes, I wish to bring about change"


    She smiled " You are not bound to a string."


    "A string?" he said


    " yes child, fate is like a spider web, each individual string symbolizing a person, you however do not possess a string."


    "Is that good?" the child asked questioningly


    " Yes, it means your destiny is your own, you now work for me, help me change the destiny of others, those that deserve it, help me cut the strings of those in the way, become a hero that is called upon when in dire need."


    "I would love to" said naruto.


    Both naruto and The woman shared a smile


    "My name is naruto, what shall i call you?" he asked


    "You can call me Sylah Fate, Fate of the Universe."

 CH. 3 Let them Forget me

    " Sylah-sama" Naruto said with while he looked at the floor.


    "Yes Naruto?" Sylah answered as she looked at the boy, she could see sadness in his eyes but it was hidden behind a thick veil of confidence.


    " can you make them forget me?" he said looking up at her, his fists shaking with determination.


    "and why would you want me to do that naruto?" she looked at him and tilted her head with interest and confusion


    " My family has forgotten me, and I do not want to be remmembered, i wish to be free and not chased asking for forgiveness, because i will not give it to them, i will become strong and protect the village, and those i care about, and then i will help those that need it."


    Sylah nodded her head "Okay child, ill do this for you, but this is the first and last time, don''t mess up your ''new'' life"


    She waved her left hand in the air and silver energy flew up, it then dissipated within five seconds


    "Naruto, i have to take my leave now, before i go im leaving you with this, its a dimensional storage, you can bring it out with this wrist chain, the chain will fuse to you, and it''s rather painful, inside you will find all you need" She took out a silver wrist chain and a Briefcase that was jet black with silver ingravings and designs (Globe trotter stabilist case) and put it down.


    A portal opened up and before she left she turned to naruto once again and told him "Naruto, get stronger, when you turn fifteen i shall return once again and you will complete your duties, until then i will keep all the quests local to your world"


    Naruto was wiping his eyes as tears were streaming down his cheek.


    "Thank you Sylah-sama I will make you proud!" Naruto bowed, Sylah had a small smile on her lips as she stepped through the portal.


    <hr>


    Naruto looked at the briefcase he was given, inside was a single coin, on one side was the face of Sylah, on the back was a crown, he didnt know what to do with it but instinct told him to toss it in the air, soon as the coin left his hand it started to glow, next thing naruto saw was a grid that looked to have thousands of squares, inside each square were pictures of people, animals, or a mixture of both in some of them.


    There was a red light blinking on random pictures, it kept going on and on, for about two minutes, Naruto could no longer take the annoying yet light so he yelled.


    "For the love of Kami! Stop blinking, Just stop." The light as though it heard him stopped on a photo of a bandaged man, with a mask, the photo expanded and below the photo was a name, "Noximilien Coxen, A.K.A. Nox"The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    the photo then expanded brightly and engulfed Naruto''s vision, he closed his eyes and bocked his eyes with his left arm.


    when he finally oppened his eyes he found a ball that was glowing blue, next to it laid many items, three of which were books, "Wakfu for beginners" "Xelor class Guide" "Nox''s inventions for Dummies" , there also lay many bandages that had patterns and symbols that seemed almsot random on one side, next to that lay a....sword?it looked like a clockhand, long handle with a ring on the end that had squares that made it look like they were teeth, there was a thornlike piece of metal at the very base of the ring, on top of the handle was a semi circle with square metals protruding from the side, there were three on the left and three on the right about two inches from one another, connected to that was a very thin and slim bladeat the end was what looked like a fat teardrop with a metal down the middle, the blade itself had a single long wave going down the middle.


    There was also a long sleeveless black hooded robe that went down to the knees, however below the waist the back and sides were cut off, making it so that below the wait was only a triangle of cloth going down to the knees in between the legs there was a golden clockhand design that started from his chest and went down to the cloth in between his legs. next was also a silver pair of shorts, black combat boots, and a black mask with two wide white eye holes there were also black gloves.


    The clothing all looked to be resonating with one another, there was a note that said "Nox''s set, when used together grants easier gathering and control of wakfu, cost of xelor class spells are reduced, range for xelor class spell increases, boost in vitality, agility, strength, inteligence, and wisdom, and increases sight/hand eye coordination"


    Naruto looked at these items with a face full of determination, he was going to be strong! he was going to be the best, and he was going to protect those precious to him.


    He reaches for the items, as soon as he touched them they went up in light, naruto flinched.


    "What the?" he then had some two new tattoos on his body, one long clockhand stretching from the bottom of his forearm to his wrist (right below his hand), and he also had a tattoo of a gear with an hourglass in the middle on his right hand. the could feel the heat radiating off of his skil, he touched the hourglass tattoo and he was dressed in Nox''s set, he didin''t see where the sword was, and then remmembered his clockhand tattoo, he touched it... nothing happened.


    " How to do i take out the sword?" after ten minutes of fiddling with his tattoo he gave up, he was trying to remmember how the sword looked, he envisioned it and held out his right hand, in his hand came a blue energyand the sword was being formed.


    The sword was really heavy, specially considering how slim it looked, he recalled his weapon and set, and picked up the wrist chainand put it on, soon at it made contact with his wrist he felt a burning sensation, the wrist chain became a tattoo as well, the briefcase disappeared, he did the same thing he did with the weapon and imagines the briefcase, it came out, this time however it was attached with a chain to his wrist, about four feet in length.


    He recalled the briefcase and turned to the ball of blue light, he touched it and as soon as it made contact with his skin he started feeling an influx of power, he also recieved information about some of his abilities,hand, underhand, frostbite.


    he felt exausted, he turned to the books, picked them up and put them aside, he then found a corner of the crystal cave to rest his back against to rest, he closed his eyes and went into a deep sleep, anxiety and excitement coursing through his body for what is to come.
