//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 // Story: Naruto the son of Sombra // by darkvslight346 //------------------------------// 7 years later Naruto stands on top of a cliff face looking at the ocean. Tomorrow was his birthday and while most people would be excited he couldn't care less. As he was looking out at the ocean he jumped up missing a punch meant for him. He turned to his attacker and said, "Aku what is your problem?" Aku Obsidian gave a laugh and said "Come on brother lighten up isn't tomorrow your B-day?" Naruto gave him a growl and said "So what it's just another day." Aku scratched his head and said "Come on don't be like that we all got some good presents for you." Naruto shrugged and said "Yeah so what?" Aku yawned and said "I guess your right nothing compares to the gift dad got you 7 years ago." Naruto closed his eyes as he thought back to that day. 7 years ago Naruto stared at Sombra with shock in his eyes for over 10 minutes. He managed to finally stutter out "You want to teach me to do what?" Sombra looked at Naruto and said "Naruto I know you must hate the fox after all he did to you. However you must understand that if you learn how to control him your power can increase greatly." Naruto was conflicted inside. On one hand he didn't want to control the demon that made him hated among the village. But on the other hand his father really wanted Naruto to become stronger. He had saved Naruto's life and even gave him what he always wanted: a family. Naruto then took a gulp and said "Alright I will do it." Sombra gave a brief smile and said "Thank you Naruto." One week later Naruto woke up to the sound of a horn blowing. Having been living with Sombra for the last two weeks he had gotten used to the morning wake up call. As he gathered the strength to get out of bed he couldn't help but wonder whether he forgot something. Shrugging it off, he got up and went to get breakfast. As he began walking to the kitchen he heard footsteps ruing toward him. He turned around and saw Aku running toward him ready to attack. He jumped out of the way at the last moment leaving Aku to crash into a wall. Aku Obsidian rubbed his head and complained a bit which made Naruto give a sigh of annoyance. He was amazed at how he misjudged him. When he first met him he thought he was calm and collected. How wrong he was. But the thing that amazed him the most was how quickly he accepted him as a brother. Aku Obsidian was a complete mystery to him. Aku got up and said in a cheery tone "Happy birthday brother." Naruto gave him a confused look and said "What do you mean?" Aku face palmed himself and said "Oh god, don't tell me you forgot your own birthday." Naruto realized what he had forgotten but was not surprised. The villagers treated him much worse on his birthday. Probably because it was the day the village was attacked. So today was not an exciting day for him. Naruto finally answered back to Aku "How did you know it was my birthday?" Aku scratched his head and said "Father told me about it ask him that." Before Naruto could move a voice from behind said "I was able to figure it out because today was the day Konoha was attacked by the fox many years ago and you would have just have been just born for the sealing to work." Naruto turned around and saw Sombra casually walking toward them. Before he could respond Sombra said "Happy birthday son." Later Naruto had just finished his breakfast which Sombra had specially made for him- ramen. He was about to leave the table when Sombra said "Naruto can you wait for minute I need to ask you something?" Naruto stopped dead in his tracks and said "Sure father." The sound of what he just said made Naruto wince. He was still not used to calling Sombra that. Sombra gave a look to Aku Obsidian which signaled him to leave. He then turned to Naruto and said "Naruto do you remember what I asked you last week?" Naruto hesitated a bit and said "Yes you asked whether you can teach me to control the nine tailed fox and I agreed." Sombra smiled and said "Yes and I have something that can help you control the fox." He got up and said "Follow me." Naruto began to follow Sombra and after walking for a few seconds Sombra said "Naruto have you heard of the Uchiha clan." Naruto gritted his teeth as he remembered that arrogant Sasuke Uchiha. He then said "Yes I had one in my class why?" Sombra's tone then turned serious as he said "They have a special bloodline trait called the Sharingan." "Sharingan what's that?" Naruto said to himself. Almost as if he had read the child's mind Sombra said "The Sharingan allows you to see chakra flow and can help you see if a person is under the effects of a genjutsu, another effect is that if mastered you can predict your enemies moves and counter attack in a moment's notice." Naruto gulped at hearing that. Now he knew why Sasuke was so arrogant all the time. If he had access to a power like that he might have been arrogant as well. He managed to finally stutter out "That's amazing." Sombra laughed a bit and said "That's not even scraping the surface of it." Naruto finally managed to ask him "But why are you telling this to me?" Sombra stared at Naruto and said "I want to give you the Sharingan." Naruto could only stare at Sombra with shock "I'm sorry what did you mean by that." Sombra answered back with a stern voice "I plan to give you the Sharingan so you can master it. When you do it will be child's play to control the fox." Naruto was wondering whether Sombra was playing a joke on him but when he looked into his eyes he could tell Sombra was serious. Sombra then said "Do you want the Sharingan choose now." Naruto took a gulp and said "I choose to….." End flash back Naruto opened his eyes and instead of the usual blue color it was red and the iris was surrounded by three Tomoe. Aku walked over to Naruto and said "But something tells me you will really enjoy this gift even more." Naruto looked his brother in the eyes which caused him to fall down. Aku got up and said "You know how much I hate it when you do that. Turn it off." Naruto let out a small laugh and closed his eyes and turned them back to normal. He turned to Aku and said "Now why did you come here other than to annoy me?" Aku Obsidian scratched his head and said "Father wanted you and I to come for what he said was a really important meeting." Naruto raised an eye brow and asked "When did he tell you that." Aku yawned and said "About 3 hours ago why? Oh I get it now." Naruto slapped his head and said "You idiot now he is going to be really pissed off at us now." Aku Obsidian jumped up and said "Well we're fucked brother." Sombra's POV I looked at the clock on the wall and grew angrier with each passing moment. It had been 2 hours since I sent Aku to find Naruto and they had still not come back. The two of them were unbelievable warriors but they never had good time. As I was about to send someone else to find them I heard a loud noise along with two people bickering over something. I knew from the voices it was Naruto and Aku arguing over what the excuse was for being late. The two of them then burst through the doors, removing them from the hinges. I put my head down and then I looked them in the eyes and shouted "Why are you so late?" Aku said in a nonchalant voice "We got lost." I could see Naruto glare at his brother and I figured out Aku must have said something they didn't agree on. I was not in a mood to shout at them so I said "Whatever the reason I have an important task to ask of the two of you." I saw Naruto step up and he said "Yes father what can we do for you?" I looked at him and said "As you know many years ago those two alicorns Celestia and Luna banished me from my kingdom. Now before I left I cast a spell and made the kingdom disappear as a way to come back." I could see the boredom in their eyes as they heard the story. I could not blame them I told them the story many times. I quickly added to that "The spell I cast on the kingdom is wearing off and soon the kingdom will reappear." I could see their eyes widen at that. Aku then said "Wait that means…" I interrupted him and said "Soon I will be able to attack and reclaim the crystal empire." Naruto jumped up and said "Finally we can get revenge for what they did to you." I stopped him said "No I have a special mission for you and Aku to do." I could see the disappointment on their faces. Aku then said "What do you want us to do then?" I smiled as I was about to tell them something that would make them so much happier than attacking the crystal empire. Meanwhile A white alicorn with a pink, blue and green mane was looking at the sky. One look in her eyes and you could tell she was fearful of something. As she was lost in her thoughts a blue alicorn with a purple mane tapped her shoulder and said "Sister what is bothering you?" She turned to her sister and said "Luna I fear now that the crystal empire is reappearing King Sombra will return to attack it again." Luna stepped back and said "Celestia I think you are right. I sensed him and he is even stronger than before." Celestia Looked down and said "We were barely able to beat him last time and I supposed you noticed the other two." Luna nodded and said "Yes it appears he is not alone. Those two are even more powerful than he is." Celestia nodded and said "I hope we can defeat them when the time comes." The next day Princess Luna had a concerned look on her face as she said "Are you sure you don't want me to go as well?" Celestia shook her head and said "Yes. Princess Cadance and Shining Armor are already there. The others will be joining them soon." Luna looked her sister in the eye and said "The Empire's magic is powerful. It cannot fall again, my sister." Celestia replied calmly "She will succeed at her task. And when she does, we'll know that she is that much closer to being ready." Before Luna could reply a purple unicorn with a black mane with a pink and purple streak going through it entered the room. Noticing this Celestia turned to her sister and said "Trust me, little sister." Luna left the room at that leaving the other two to talk. Later Twilight was busy thinking over what Celestia had told her not only was an evil unicorn known as king Sombra back but two unknown powers were with him. From what Celestia had told her she began to wonder if they could beat these three ponies. As she was thinking she was approached by her friends. A blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane named Rainbow Dash approached her and said "Hey Twilight why do you looks so worried?" Another unicorn with a white body and a purple mane named Rarity said "Yes dear what has got you so worried?" Twilight decided to tell her friends the entire story. She took a deep breath and said "Well you see…." Later Twilight had just finished her story and to say her friends were shocked was an understatement. A yellow Pegasus with a pink mane known as Fluttershy nearly fainted at hearing about Sombra. A pink earth pony with a pink mane named Pinkie was unfazed by this she was even jumping around a bit. An orange earth pony with a blonde mane known as Applejack Came forward and said "Now are you sure about this Twilight?" Twilight shook her head and said "Yes Applejack Princess Celestia also told me there were two more ponies with him and they might be even more powerful than he is." The others gasped at that, even Pinkie stopped jumping when she heard that. Twilight then continued "We have to be really careful girls the fate of not just the crystal empire but maybe even all of Equestria might be on our shoulders." Rainbow Dash gave Twilight a sarcastic look and said "So no pressure then?" Twilight gave her a look which shut her up and then said "Girls we need to get ready for a trip so start packing," At that Applejack turned to Rarity and said "Just don't pack so many scarves this time Rarity." Meanwhile Naruto and Aku were getting ready for their big journey. While they were upset at not fighting with Sombra they were more than happy with their mission. Aku Obsidian turned to Naruto and said "Brother how do you feel now that it's finally here?" Naruto smiled and said "I am excited I can make those bastards pay now." Aku laughed and said "They will be like flies compared to us brother." Naruto gave a grin and said "I know it's too bad. It's no fun when they can't put much of a fight." At that the two brothers picked up their weapons and disappeared in a flash of light.
