Naruto: Child of Chakra

"Can I eat it?" The little boy asked Shiroken.

With a big smile, Shiroken nodded. The boy then jumped onto the seat and hurriedly started devouring the ramen. ​​

"Here you go, a bowl of ramen and 10 plates of dumplings." Teuchi put his food on the counter. Instead of using ten plates, he just put them all on a single bigger plate.

"FINALLY!" Shiroken clapped his hands and started devouring, not much different from the little boy beside him.

One by one, he ate all the dumplings. "They are very tasty. Only second to those my family makes. Thank you for making this for me."

Teuchi smiled, "Someone suggested I add this to the menu a long time ago. It grew upon me since then and I started enjoying making them. But Ramen is still my speciality."

"Then I should thank whoever that person was. And yes, the ramen is also very tasty." He continued eating. But then he noticed the blonde boy staring at him. His bowl was empty.

"Haha, want another one?" He asked him, to which the boy only nodded frantically.

"Umm... give him another bowl. I am in a very good mood today. Where are your parents, boy?" he inquired.

The little boy all of a sudden turned sad. His shoulders fell and he got depressed. Then with a meek voice, he replied, "I... I don't know. They died during the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack."

Shiro also became sad as his body stiffened. His heart ached to hear this. ~Only if we were not separated~

~Don't be sad, Shiro. Even I killed many people. You can't imagine how it feels to be locked inside a prison for so long, against your wishes. You become angry and whenever you get a chance you try to release that anger out. As even our anger stays trapped inside the seal~ Isobu told him.

*Sigh*

He patted the boy's head with a kind smile, "Then you are just like me. I don't know who my parents are either. I never saw them, hell, I don't think they even existed. Anyway, what's your name?"

"I am Naruto Uzumaki. Who are you, grandpa?" Naruto asked. He was back to his jolly mood, feeling a bit better knowing he wasn't the only one feeling the same pain.

Shiroken's eyes flickered. Due to his long white hair, Naruto mistook him for an old person. Well, he was right in a way, Shiroken was old enough to be the grandpa of everyone's grandpa. "I am Shiroken Dama. You can call me Uncle Shiro."

"Here you go," Teuchi put another bowl in front of Naruto.

"All right, Uncle Shiro." Naruto cheerfully went back to eating. Shiroken did the same.

~He has immense Chakra, but why is there a seal on his body? Could it be?~ Shiroken wondered while eating.

*CLAP*

"Thank you for the meal, I should go home now. I will start the academy soon so I need to keep myself fit. Hehe... bye-bye, Uncle Shiro." Naruto jumped from his seat and ran away in the rain.

Once Naruto was gone, Teuchi gave Shiroken another plate of Dumplings, "On the house. I appreciate the kindness you showed him. Poor child has a very harsh life. Shunned by everyone, even the children don't play with him."

~So he's the Jinchuriki of Kurama now. Poor child~ Shiroken deduced and felt bad for him.

"Then who takes care of him?" He inquired.

Teuchi sighed, "No one, the Hokage just gave him a small apartment to live in. He also gets a little money allowance. But how can you imagine a child to know how to manage it."

Teuchi was not just some random person who took pity on Naruto. He was formerly a member of Team Jiraiya, a member of the team in which Naruto's father was. How could he ignore the child of his childhood friend? [A/N: This info is non-canon and just a hypothesis.]

"Truly, it's a strange world we live in. Where real monsters roam free and children get ostracised." Shiroken muttered and started to take a scroll from his pant pocket.

*CLANK*

"Here, feed that boy until he starts earning money. And this one for making such delicious dumplings." Shiroken put two whole gold bars on the counter.

Teuchi's eyes popped out. He had never seen such an outrageous customer before. But then his mind replayed the words once a girl had said. ~One day, someone will come who loves dumplings. He can make you rich~

~Is this the one?~ Teuchi wondered.

Shiroken got up, his face suddenly turning serious, "What's your name, child?"

"Ah... I'm Teuchi... I am 28 years old by the..."

Shiroken started walking away, "It's going to be a very dark night, Teuchi. It is raining red. You better shut down the shop."

Teuchi wanted to ask what happened but Shiroken just vanished. He felt a very ominous feeling rise in his heart. He quickly turned to his teenage daughter, "Ayame, quick, prepare to close."

...

Shiroken jumped from one roof to another, slowly heading towards the edge of the village. His Nature Sense (A/N: For the sake of readers, I will make MC speak some words that he already knows due to his senses.) was on and he saw all that happened in the village since it wasn't bigger than his max range. But he couldn't look inside chakra-induced seals or restricted zones.

"Strange, no guards are in this area. So this was a government-organized act." Shiroken deduced.

He entered an enclosed area. It seemed to be a separate district from the rest of the village.

~Uchiha symbol?~

He entered the place, and after every few metres, he saw a dead body. They were lying there, lifeless on the road, with wounds and blood oozing. The street was painted red.

Then his eyes fell on a house nearby, its paper sliding doors were also red. The people in the house were dead, that was for sure.

"Why would anyone kill so many people?" He wondered. This was exactly why he hated the current state of the world. The lack of care for life was astonishing.

Slowly, he came upon the bodies of even children. They were probably outside with their parents. The little bodies mostly had wounds on their backs, telling a tale of what happened. They must have tried to run away in fear.

~Was this necessary, for whatever reasons the murderer had?~ He wondered.

"HELP!"

Shiroken heard the girl's voice coming from not far away. He hurried to there in a second.

*WOOSH*

He took out his sword, Tenken. The snake sage inside it was still sleeping for some reason. Shiroken slowly walked forward, letting his presence known by all living people in the vicinity.

There was a masked man in front of him, having chained a girl.

"Ah, so it's another Uchiha, killing his own clan. Two actually. I wonder why?" He spoke softly.

*WOOSH*

The masked man jumped back in fright. He had not sensed this presence at all. He looked at Shiroken's intimidating form and couldn't help but gulp. This is what the badass overpowered character in comics used to look like. Long white hair fluttering in the air, a tall and muscular body with every single muscle trying to scare the enemy away. The masked man had read his fair share of comics and knew that when such a character appears, you should run. But he didn't want to take those comic plots as real possibilities.

"They were planning to cause far more damage if not stopped." The man replied, trying to justify the killings.

Shiroken scoffed, "And killing them was the last option? Killing all of them? Even the children?"

"RUN! RUN AWAY! QUICKLY!" The White Zetsu's voice fell in the masked man's ears.

"Why? He's weak. There is no chakra in his body." The masked man replied to it.

The white Zetsu cried, "He's the one I told you about. The person you should stay away from. If you fight him now, your death is imminent."

"And what makes you think he will let me go now?" The masked man asked back.

"JUST USE KAMUI!"

*WOOSH*

He did exactly that. The man started to vanish from the spot in an invisible spiral of air.

Shiroken shook his head, "Not so fast, boy."

*BANG*

With a sonic boom, his body reached the spiral of air. He put his hand directly into it as the masked man had nearly disappeared. Shiroken started to pull him back.

"These tricks won't work on me, boy." He proclaimed and started dragging his leg back towards himself, soon the masked man felt his leg about to tear up into two.

"EH!..." The masked man tried to fight to get free. But he couldn't. So he decided to directly teleport to his partner in crime for the day and vanish with him.

...

In a large house, a boy stood behind his parents. Both faced their backs at him. The mother had tears in her eyes and the father, pride. The boy's hand shook as he held his blade against their backs. His eyes teared up.

*THRUST*

*THUD*

Two bodies fell, lifeless. But it was a quick painless death. That's all he could do for them.

*WOOSH*

The masked man appeared in the room suddenly and jumped at the boy, but he stumbled too as his left leg was unusable now. Shiroken had also arrived there. But he had let the man go as he didn't want to be teleported to somewhere too far.

"WE NEED TO LEAVE!" The masked man shouted and grabbed the boy's hand. They started leaving together through the same method.

"WAIT UP!" Shiroken grabbed the boy's arm.

But the boy then looked at Shiroken, with tearing eyes, red Sharingan visible. There was a deep pain in them, something that such a little kid should not, could not have known by ordinary means. As if the boy had just died while living today.

*WOOSH*

He let the boy go. The dead were dead, the living could be helped now. He just needed to do this. As for the two Uchiha, he could catch them anytime later. What was important was to handle the situation here.

*Sigh*

"These must be his parents. Why would that child do such a thing against his own clan? His tears obviously meant he had feelings for them. Then why?" Shiroken wondered.

[A/N: Should Itachi be forgiven? I mean, he literally killed little babies that night, probably newborns too, babies who didn't even know what a civil war or rebellion even meant. They were just trying to live, like any other. I love Itachi, man, but he was biased as hell, in his book, all deaths were fine as long as his little emo brother gets to live.]

[A/N: Many of you must be wondering why Shiro is so normal with this situation. Well, he has seen a lot of death and fighting already, 3 Shinobi Wars to be exact. He has seen death so much that it does not bother him now, what does bother him is how casual humans are about it. He also didn't have much respect for Uchiha Clan since it was Madara Uchiha who controlled Kurama. The only good Uchiha in his book is Monari, who does not even consider herself an Uchiha.]
