1 The Tragedy of a Otaku

[you can skip to chap 12 to avoid re-reading the parts of 'summoner of the league, it deviates starting from there.]

The blue light from the computer screen shone against a young, pale-faced Japanese boy, about 14 years old, in a dark room as he played League of Legends. "Come on, Ahri-chan show me what you can do!" He whispered to no one in particular as he ulted into the team fight. First came the Leona's hook, which he dashed the second time away from, the second was the Veigar box, which he dashed from also, with all the CC out his team began dismantling the enemy team, throwing his Q to secure kills he got his third Penta-Kill this game, once the announcers words sounded, the enemy surrendered.

Standing up from his computer chair, he walked out of his room and down the flight of stairs, greeting his mom absently as he went to get a bottle of coca cola. After taking a swig from the bottle, he decided to address the annoying crick in his neck that he had acquired after sitting down for 45 minutes. He went to pop the joint but as he did this, his 5-year-old little brother, that he had not known was in the room with him, decided it was time to tackle him and as he shot into his back, he dropped the bottle of cola from his hands and spilled at his feet. The combination of the tackle and slick floor caused him to fall with his hand still on his chin, with his elbow hitting the ground it cause him to jerk his head nearly all the way around, snapping his spine and killing him. As he laid on the ground in his paralyzed state as his life slowly left him as his brain slowly started to lose oxygen. He heard his brother giggling and then going silent then asking him what was wrong, then a scream as his mother walked in and saw his head doing a full 180-degree turn. But he could have also sworn he heard something else, someone else talking, like his own thoughts, and if he was right, they said: "Return home."

Shooting upright in what he assumed was a bed, heart beating a mile a minute, he quickly patted his body and released a sigh of relief as he threw off his sheets and walked towards his door, but he soon realized something off about his room. "This...isn't my room... Where am I? Am I still dreaming?" He thought as he looked towards a full body mirror that he knew he never had." He could feel himself turn cold as his stomach turned in his chest. On his head blond, spiky hair stood and his brown eyes had become blue. On his cheeks rested three whiskers. His height had obviously dropped from his 5'9 to what he assumed was 4'8 to 4'9. Looking into his face and reaching up and feeling it he realized, this was no dream. He had died and was now in the body of Naruto. I don't know if this is some hallucination while I'm still dying or if this is truly a new life, but how would I reincarnate into a body of someone that doesn't exist, in a world that doesn't exist.....

Once he had started to come to terms with this, his vision blacked as he appeared in front of a cage, a gigantic orange-red fox with nine beautiful tails flowing behind it encompassed his entire view. "Why am I already seeing Kurama? This didn't happen anytime soon in the show.." He thought, after all, he was a huge otaku who had watched hundreds of anime, Naruto included. Right as he was about to say something, the Kyuubi spoke.

"You don't need to ask any questions. I can see your thoughts and know what you want to ask, yes, you died. You took over the body you are in, and yes I brought you here because of the memories I saw in you, and no, I am not sealed from interacting with you, courtesy of your 'father'. I don't understand why this has happened or why. But I don't really care since your not really the same person, but with the knowledge of my future with your body's previous host and 'him' asking me to take care of you, I will let you remove my seal, and I will help you, as long as we are equal or 'friends' as your memories had us pegged." The deep booming voice said as the mindscape shook, surprisingly he felt no danger from this immortal spirit of amazing strength. "How could I release your seal if I never studied seals, and I also don't have any of Naruto's memories and who is the 'him' you spoke of that asked you to take care of me?" He asked quickly, trying to take in it all.

"I knew this would happen." Kurama grumbled, "I can't tell you who he is until you're ready, that is. All you need to know is that he is waiting for you to improve yourself and as for the seal, he gave me many abilities and much knowledge of things which I thought impossible, he told me to give them to you when you met his requirement criteria. for now, I will give you the memories on how to remove my seal."

Naruto or at least he is now, stood with his hand cupped on his chin, thinking, until he looked up and spoke. "Alright, I will trust you, I know you're not actually bad after all, just misunderstood and in need of a friend. But I do hope you will tell me what criteria I have to meet to understand what happened to me and why I'm here." He said to the demon.

What could possibly be described as a smile etched Kurama's face as a ball of white light shot from Kurama's forehead and flew into Naruto's head. Memories filled his mind on sealing techniques as Kurama talked. "I will let you know when you meet them but not what they are, you don't make the same discovery and achievements when you know what you're looking for after all." The Fox spoke.

After standing in a daze for a minute or so, the clarity in Naruto's eyes returned as he began doing a set of hand seals always ending with an even number, slamming his hands onto the cage surrounding the Kyuubi as it slowly dissolved into a liquid-like substance before disappearing. Naruto walked up in front of Kurama as he held his fist out to the giant fox, Kurama did his best attempt at a smile as the fox's fist at least 10 times as big as Naruto's bumped his back.

Without warning, he was thrust out of the mind space and back into his apartment room, on top of this the original memories of naruto flooded back into his mind and his face went white... "I'm late for the academy!!" He screamed as he started to throw on clothes and run out of his apartment toward the academy. It amazed him how all these grown adults could send such hate towards a twelve-year-old boy. "Just ignore them, I can deal with all this in the future."

After a few minutes of running he finally reached the academy and burst through the doors, the whole class turned to look at him as he decided to ignore the stares and find a seat. The only one he could find was next to his secret admirer, Hinata. Walking up to her table he put on his trademark smile as he asked: "Do you mind if I sit here, Hinata-chan?" Hinata in all her poor lovestruck embarrassment stumbled over her words as she tried to respond "I-Uh um no, I mean uh!...yes, you can."

Naruto could barely contain his urge to smile and giggle at how adorable she was as he sat down next to her and made sure to be close enough to cause her to freak out a little bit so he could see her face. After he was seated, Iruka-sensei began his speech. "As you all know, today is the day of the graduation test, you will be asked to perform the Transformation Jutsu(Henge no Jutsu), Clone Jutsu(Bunshin no Jutsu) and a written test on what to do in certain situations. You will also be tested in Taijutsu and kunai accuracy. If you pass you will be assigned to a team tomorrow. If you fail... You will have to retake the entire academy year."

All the students in the room gulped when they heard this and a few looked surprised, clearly forgetting what day it was. Naruto, however, was lost in his own thoughts. "I will and probably need to fail this test. I could probably recreate the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique (Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu) from memory of the hand seals but I couldn't pass anything else besides the written test. Guess I have to get my ass beat, huh." He chuckled slightly earning a glance from Hinata, he noticed a clear look of worry in her eyes as he knew she didn't think he could pass, and she was right.

After about an hour of waiting and after everyone else had taken the test and already left the room, it was Naruto's turn to take the written test, which he managed to pass with an 80%. However, as in the original story, he failed both the Transformation Jutsu(Henge no Jutsu) and the Clone Jutsu(Bunshin no Jutsu) test, strangely, they didn't even appear. His kunai accuracy and taijutsu took the same turn as well as being an utter failure.

Being brought back into the classroom by Iruka-sensei, Naruto did his best to portray a devastated twelve-year-old boy. "Naruto-kun, I'm sorry to tell you this, but you will not be passing this test and will have to take the year over. You just do not have the talent to become a ninja." Iruka said softly as he could, but his words to any other child would be much too insensitive in Naruto's opinion.

Naruto did his best to look sad and slowly walked out of the academy and went to the swing that he was known for sitting in and looked at the other kids and their families and thought back to his own family which he was never going to see again. His brother was probably devastated, he was only five and pretty much killed his own brother on accident. As he started thinking about his family and how he hadn't even told them how much he loved them in the past days he got more and sadder until he started crying for real instead of faking it. Like this, he spent the evening reminiscing and apologizing to his parents when he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.

Looking up with bloodshot eyes he saw Mizuki standing there with a smile on his face, but he knew not to trust that smile. He had to make himself not seem suspicious so he just asked in a weak voice "Mizuki-sensei? What are you doing here? To tell me I'm useless too?" Naruto didn't miss the slight flash of disdain in Mizuki's eyes as he said in a kind voice "No, no no, perish the thought Naruto-kun, I'm here to offer you a chance to become a Genin, It's a hard test, but all it will test is your practical ability, you don't even need to use jutsu, what do you say?" Naruto did his best to not laugh at Mizuki's pitiful acting skill. "R-Really Mizuki-sensei? Can I really become a ninja?" He asked in a hopeful voice. "Of course, all you need to do is manage to sneak into the Hokage's mansion and retrieve this scroll and learn one jutsu from it." With that said, Mizuki pulled out what Naruto assumed was a replica of the sealing scroll. With as much enthusiasm as he could fake Naruto jumped off the swing into his signature peace sign and exclaimed: "Roger that Mizuki-sensei, I'll have that scroll here in no time and as many jutsu learned as I can, dattebayo!" Mizuki smiled a cruel smile as he said: "Good, meet me in the forest behind the mansion once you have it." Naruto nodded and started to run off when he heard Mizuki call out. "Naruto! Remember, be as cunning as a fox." Naruto cringed at his passive aggression as he threw up another peace sign and ran off.

The retrieval of the scroll was easy as pie, but then again Sarutobi let him take it in the show to see what was going on. Naruto made sure to memorize all the jutsu in the scroll, even asking Kurama to memorize it as well to make sure he wouldn't forget. inside were many jutsu's but none were up his alley except the can't do without it Multiple Shadow Clone Technique (Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu) However, there was another he had never heard of there, all It showed was a seal pattern, when he reached out and touched the seal it shot off the scroll and started to coil around his entire right arm and the right side of his chest and kanji for different numbers were fading out all over his arm and chest faster than he could identify them. He felt a burning pain and screamed out and even Kurama seemed to be in pain as he growled deeply in Naruto's mind space. But just as quickly as the pain came, it left. However, the pain was replaced with a deep voice in his mind that didn't come from Kurama.

Naruto, I see Hiruzen has given you the seal I left for you. He most likely has already told you about what has happened to me and how to go to the place I was born. I am sorry I and your mother left you alone, but this was the only way it could be done. I begged the Kyuubi after his control was weakened and was being sealed in you to help you and to, when you were strong enough, tell you what you must do. Heed these words, do not fight the man that controlled the Kyuubi, he can and will kill you if you try. I pray that one day we may meet again, and I can give you your birthright." The voice spoke and then disappeared.
