Summary: Konoha is a lot darker than others thought, and no-one knows
that better than Revy who lost her son to that fucking
village.
1. Discovery
Chapter 1: Discovery
"Oi! Dutch! What the fucks up with the mist!?" Yelled an irate
woman's voice on a small cargo boat. The scene to almost any other
onlooker would look quite eerie, with the all encompassing mist
falling around the dull grey lagoon ship. Said ship was almost dead
in the water, according to Balalaika, the area would be easiest to
get through if less noise was made. If it weren't for Revy's screams
of frustration, it would make a perfect horror scene.
Dutch rubbed his temples and tapped at his communicator a few times
"*sigh…* Revy, come down here a sec… I got something important to
tell you about the job…" Dutch knew what backlash he was about to
get, and it didn't make his job any better. However, if anybody had
the right to know, it was her, keeping this secret any longer would
just dig his grave deeper.
Speaking of graves, did he finish everything on his bucket
list?
Taking one last drag of what may be his final cigarette with a fully
functional jaw, Dutch prepares himself for the wrath of a mother.
Black pants? Check. Finished and signed will? Check. No regrets in
life?... perhaps he should hold out on this afterall.
Just as he had finished depositing his cigarette in an ash tray, the
hatch to the lagoon opened and Revy slid down the ladder, her boots
making an audible clunk against the metal floor. She turned around
and paused before looking at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Where's Rock and Benny at? 'Thotcha had somethin' important to say
about the job." Revy leaned against the wall next to the ladder, her
puzzled look still in place. Dutch leaned forward and clasped his
hands in front of him, and even though he had his shades on, Revy
could see the seriousness in his gaze at her.
"This is somethin' only you and me know about, and I will leave it to
you to decide whether you tell Rock and Benny now, or have them
figure it out later…" The subject he was about to broach could
either trigger a landmine or earn him the eternal gratitude of
Revy… hell knowing her, probably both.
For Revy, what Dutch just said made her both concerned and confused,
most of the stuff between her and Dutch was in the past and dealt
with according to her; keyword being most.
Leaning in, Revy put her hands on her hips and said "I'm all ears
Dutchy"
Dutch breathed out one word, "Naruto"
For Revy, time froze, her brain too caught up in thoughts and
questions to stutter out even a full sentence. Naruto? What about
Naruto? Is he dead? Where is he? Too many question and no answers.
Zeroing in on her target Revy grabbed Dutch by his collar and brought
him nose to nose with her. Dutch could've swore he saw fire in her
eyes.
"_What. about. Him!?"_
Yep, definitely glad he wore black pants.
Seeking to placate the furious woman before him, Dutch quickly
brought forth his next few sentences like they were his last words,
"Our client caught sight of him in the village we're headin' to,
however it seems the two aren't on good terms right now." Now, Revy
wasn't stupid, she had been searching for Naruto for years, even if
it was Dutch telling her this right now, she wanted cold proof that
it was _her _son they had found.
"_And!? How do you know it's my son! So help me Dutch if yo-" _Before
Revy could start making threats, and acting on them, Dutch quickly
pulled out the photo he had been keeping in his pants and pushed it
in her face.
Just as she was about to pull out one of her berettas on the
unfortunate man in front of her, Revy caught sight of a child she
never thought she would see again. The only goddamn thing on this
planet that she valued more than her own life. She looked at every
tiny detail in the image, even without the whisker marks he would no
doubt be her son. His hair, a slightly lighter shade than hers, was
also long and held in a ponytail much like hers, and his skin was a
healthy tan that didn't portray much of his asian ancestry, it was a
bit lighter than that. His eyes were the same shape as hers but the
color reminded her of his _bastard _father.
A shade so blue you could get lost in them.
Dutch watched a range of emotions slide across Revy's face before it
all settled into relief and she slid to the floor. He knew she would
be looking at that photo for a long time. Without saying a word he
swiveled his chair back to the controls of the ship and looked out
towards the incoming port of the land of waves.
/
The walk to Tazuna's house was long and boring for Naruto. No last
name given, just, Naruto. At 12 years old he was considered a prodigy
amongst genin and, even though he was easy to irritate, had little
flaws to complain about as a shinobi. Flipping his pony tail back
behind him he observed his surroundings. Sasuke was glaring at him
-for what reason he did not know- and Sakura was fawning over Sasuke.
Yep, usual old Team 7. Oh, and Kakashi was walking with them, though
he was exhausted from the fight with Zabuza. The group's walk
continued and Naruto couldn't help but frown at the poverty in the
village. If anything it made his resolve to protect the
bridge-builder even stronger, he had grown up without a home or a
family, but at least there was food to steal.
Broken out of his thoughts by almost crashing into Tazuna, Naruto
realized they had stopped in front of a decently sized house which he
assumed was Tazuna's. One knock later, and the door slid open to
reveal a woman that Naruto guessed would have to be in her late 20's
at most judging by appearances. Her eyes lit up when she looked up at
Tazuna.
"Father! Thank god you're alright!" The old man was nearly crushed by
the hug she gave him, but chuckled nonetheless.
"Well if it weren't for these fine ninja over here I wouldn't be!"
Tazuna rasped out while laughing. In response to his statement
Kakashi eye smiled and scratched the back of his head while Sasuke
smirked. Sakura seemed to beam from the praise as well. Naruto, while
glad his team had survived, knew that Zabuza and that hunter nin
would come back sooner or later, and he needed to step up his
training.
The woman peered over her father's shoulder and looked over the ninja
before letting go of Tazuna and bowing to them.
"Thank you for taking care of my father, I know he can be quite the
handful sometimes-" cue nervous chuckle "-but he is a good man, and I
believe his bridge will save the village."
Kakashi eye-smiled again and said modestly "Maa, maa, we're just
doing our job." Smiling in return, Tsunami gestured the shinobi into
her home where she was preparing dinner. On their way inside, Naruto
could have sworn he saw a small boy zip up the stairs when they
entered, but brushed it off as exhaustion setting in.
/
The picture Rock walked into when Dutch called him and Benny over
wasn't the most comforting to come across. Walking in, he saw Dutch
in his usual attire, and his chair swiveled over to face them. What
concerned him was the state of Revy, who was slumped on the floor,
looking at what appeared to be a small photograph with misty,
half-lidded eyes. He was about to ask, but decided against it when
Dutch shook his head. Filing it away for later, Rock lit a cigarette
and leaned against the wall, giving Dutch his signal to explain their
jobs.
Dutch peered over at Revy one last time before speaking up, "Alright,
this one's pretty easy, our client, whose name is Gato, controls
pretty much anything and everything that goes in and out of this
small island we're stopped at. We're delivering a shipment of drugs
he's having delivered here from Roanapur, that's it, pretty simple if
ya ask me." Dutch paused and took another drag from a cigarette
before starting back up again, "Benny, I want you to stay on the
ship, think of it as a 'just in case' kinda job." Benny nods and sits
down on a small crate while Dutch continues, "Rock, you and I are
gonna be dealing with Gato and overseeing the delivery process, other
than that it's a wrap and we'll be getting paid handsomely.
Questions, comments, concerns?" Rock raises his hand and Dutch sighs,
but nods for Rock to ask anyway.
"Is Revy coming with us, or-"
"Revy will be going around the village, who knows we might gain a few
connections in the Elemental Nations like the one we're gettin' with
Gato."
Revy looked up at Dutch with wide eyes, to which he responded with a
discreet nod in her direction.
Rock nearly dropped his cigarette when Revy shot Dutch the most
genuine smile he's ever seen on her face before, and he wasn't the
only one shocked. Benny fell off his crate and Dutch nearly burned
his lips with his own lighter. They sat there, frozen, even when Revy
had sprung up from the floor and all but shot out of the lagoon like
a bullet.
…
*cough*
"Alright, Rock, let's get going." Rock only nodded
numbly.
/
Meanwhile, Team 7 can be found in the woods a little ways from
Tazuna's house, getting ready to face Zabuza for a second round. With
an audible pop, Kakashi closed his book and looked up at his students
with a lazy eye.
"Alright class, today you will be completing something called the
tree climbing exercise, heard of it?" Seeing Naruto nod, Kakashi
points to him and then a tree beside him. Getting the point, Naruto
calmly walks up to the base of the tree and then proceeds to walk up
while sticking to the trunk. Sakura's eyes were wide with awe, while
Sasuke scowled at being weaker than the dobe again.
"Good example, Naruto. This is a chakra control exercise that will
need to become like second nature to you as you continue your careers
as ninja." Kakashi then threw 2 kunai at Sakura and Sasuke's
feet.
"The key is to apply chakra to your feet to stick the surface of the
tree, use those kunai as markers to mark your progress." Kakashi then
turns to Naruto once again.
"Have you done water walking as well?" Naruto nods once again and
Kakashi sighs. "Then it looks like you're coming with me to the
village." Both shinobi turn to see Sasuke and Sakura's first
attempts. Needless to say it went about as much as Kakashi expected,
Sasuke made it up 5 steps before blasting off, while Sakura made it
up half-way quite easily. Seeing both genin looking for an
explanation, Kakashi sighed once again.
"Use too much chakra, and you will be blasted off the tree, use too
little, and your feet won't stick to the surface. Keep at it , me and
Naruto are going to the village to gather information, preferably on
Zabuza or Gato." Sakura nodded, and Sasuke sent a glare at Naruto but
gave a small nod anyways. Without another word, the genin and Jounin
pair leapt to the trees and towards the village.
Naruto shook his head while trailing Kakashi, seriously what did he
do to deserve Sasuke's ire? That pride of his was going to get him in
trouble, and by extension, the team. He was going to have to talk to
Kakashi about this, but not now.
Suddenly, Kakashi stopped and held his hand up. Landing and crouching
next to his sensei, Naruto looked down only to see a small path with
a trail of people carrying what seemed to be large wooden crates. At
the front was a short chubby man, with purple shades and spiky brown
hair. He was dressed in a black suit with a purple undershirt, and
holding a black walking cane. Next to him was a bald and rather tall
and muscular black man. The man was wearing a green vest jacket that
reminded him of the flak jackets in Konoha, and black pants which
were tucked into his boots. What was strange about him was what he
was holding, it was a tubular object that was angled at different
places and seemed to have a trigger on it. Continuing his observation
of the group of people, he looked at the end of the line where he saw
a person who didn't quite fit in. He was wearing a collared shirt
with a green tie that was tucked into a pair of black slacks. The man
was also wearing a pair of black dress shoes, and seemed to be pretty
tan and scrawny in appearance, with an average height for his
age.
Kakashi's thoughts, however, were following a slightly different
path, '_What are westerners doing in Wave?'_
"What do we do Kakashi-sensei?"
Kakashi brought his hands to his chin, on one hand he could kill Gato
and eliminate the threat of Zabuza and save the country, however his
instincts were telling him to stay away from the foreigners, they
were dangerous. As a shinobi, instincts saved you more often than
conscious thought. He had made his decision.
Kakashi signed to Naruto 'Short man is Gato, but it's too risky to
take him out now. Continue to the village and gather what you can on
Zabuza, I'm going to trail this group here.' With a nod, Naruto
continued his path through the trees, while Kakashi stalked Gato and
the foreigners.
/
Revy's cheerful run through the village slowly became a depressed
walk as she looked over the state of the people here. This place
seemed poorer than some of the worse off districts of Roanapur.
What's worse is that even though she knew Naruto was here, she didn't
even know where to start looking for him, she knew nothing about him
or his personality. That thought seemed to make her even more
depressed, in fact it made her so depressed she didn't even realize
she was walking through the forest until she came across a small
clearing.
"Ahh! What the hell!?" Revy pulled at her hair in frustration. Great,
now she's lost and can't find Naruto. Looking around the clearing she
found herself in, Revy spotted what appeared to be a young woman in a
pink kimono, crouching down in the grass with a basket beside her.
'_Might as well start somewhere… right?' _
Revy walked over to the woman, purposely stepping on twigs and weeds
to announce her presence.
"E-Excuse me, have you seen this boy around here?" damn that stutter
of hers, she still couldn't get used to this 'being nice' shit. The
woman looked at the photograph Revy was holding up for a second and
froze, which didn't go unnoticed by Revy. The woman looked back up at
her and regained her composure while smiling sweetly.
"Yes, I believe he and his friends are staying at Tsunami's house
just a little ways from the center of the village." The woman pointed
in the direction she was speaking of.
Revy smiled and rubbed the back of her head, "Thanks! Oh by the way
the name's Revy, in case we ever meet again." Revy was getting
nervous, something had to be wrong with her, she was never this
nice!
"You're certainly welcome Revy-san, my name is Haku Momochi, I
believe we will see each other again soon." Haku stated with a smile.
Revy nodded and ran back towards the village while waving her hand
over her shoulder, never knowing who she had really just
met.
/
Tsunami really didn't know what to think about the ninja's who had
saved her father from The Demon of the Mist, however she knew she
didn't like one of them for sure. Said person had raven colored hair
and seemed to always have a scowl in place. She would reserve her
judgement for now though, maybe there was more to the boy than she
thought.
Broken from her thoughts by knocking at her door, she dried off her
hands and walked to the entrance of the house….
/
"So you're lookin' for connections in the elemental nations yes…?"
Gato drawled out. Currently he was reclined in his throne, walking
cane in hand and facing his guests, The Lagoon Company. The Japanese
man nodded and said, "Yes, we're afraid that with all the separate
turfs running around in Roanapur, that we might need what you would
call a safety net to fall back on, just in case things go south."
Gato grunted in acknowledgment and seemed to think over his options
for a moment.
"Well, your company did a fine job in escorting my wears, fast and
efficient is how I like doing business." Gato continued to mumble to
himself a bit before slamming his cane down.
"Very well, if I ever need something moved I'll come straight to you
first, no questions asked.". The Japanese man nodded with a pleased
expression.
"Thankyou for your consideration, we are sure you won't regret it.
Will there be anything else you need from us today?" Gato shook his
head and dismissed the pair from Lagoon. With a nod, their business
in Wave was done, and Dutch hoped that Revy was getting close to
finding Naruto soon, lest they lose such an important
client.
/
With the foreigners gone Kakashi knew this was his chance to rid
himself and his genin of a C rank turned A rank mission.
With a flick of his wrist a kunai shot from his hands towards his
unfortunate victim. A sickening 'shlick' rang throughout the room
before Gato fell down, dead. He didn't even get to taste his newly
imported wine.
Kakashi sunshined out of the room and back out to the village to find
Naruto and spread the good news, no more blood would be shed and the
lives of his students could have been saved from his
decision.
/
With Naruto, information gathering was easier said than done, any
money he had was spent on bribing villagers to talk and most of what
they said was either a scam or a dead end. He was just about to walk
into a flower shop when a hand landed on his shoulder.
Turning around, he came face to face with a smiling young woman in a
pink kimono. The last thought he had before his world turned black
was _'pretty…'_
/
**Pairings: Possible naru-harem or if you guys show interest in it,
naru-incest**
**Changes: AU with possible multi-crossover, Naruto basically looks
like Revy with a more masculine look, blue eyes, and a lighter shade
of hair. I might do a drawing later if you want.**
**Bashing: Sasuke, Sakura, 3rd Hokage, Minato (shit gets dark btw)
and Konoha in general. If this doesn't get my dick cut off I'm going
to add in Rock bashing too.**
**Aighty! There you have it! Remember that the only way im gonna get
better at writing is if you review and give constructive
criticism!**
2. Reunion
Chapter 2: Reunion
"So tell me Revy-san, how do you know Naruto?" Tsunami asked. Both
women were seated in the dining room, a cup of tea in both hands.
Although Revy was awkwardly holding hers, while Tsunami was the
picture of a perfect housewife.
"Heh-he…. Well… you wouldn't believe me if I told you the whole
sto-"
"Trust me Revy-san, the elemental nations is exposed to many strange
events, so no matter what story you tell I probably have a stranger
one." cutoff Tsunami. In a world where people walked on water
everyday, there's bound to be plenty of mythical, but real,
tales.
Revy looked down at her tea cup for a second, a solemn look reaching
her eyes, "I'm… his mother…" Tsunami looked up from her seat on
the floor, a small frown marring her features.
"I don't mean to pry… but are you two not on good terms?" Tsunami
was genuinely curious, the plum haired boy had never mentioned his
mother… actually he hadn't spoken much at all as far as she could
remember. She was not too shocked to hear that she was his mother,
the two looked quite similar. If anything she was jealous, sure she
had retained her natural beauty somewhat, but even _her _body seemed
to deteriorate from having Inari, yet Revy had a killer figure, one
you would never had expected to go through pregnancy.
The widowed housewife coughed to hide her fangs.
Revy slammed her hands on the table, "NO! I- I'm sorry, it's not
that. The truth is… I have never even met him." Tsunami's eyes
widened in shock, "I have been searching for him ever since he was
born, there isn't a thing I wouldn't do just to see him once.. You
understand… right?"
Tsunami gave Revy a sympathetic smile, now she understood why the
woman was so hesitant to tell her. Of course she understood, she
couldn't imagine a day without seeing Inari, but not getting to hold
your son once since his birth, but still knowing he was alive
somewhere? That's torture on an emotional level. The housewife cupped
one of her hands over Revy's.
"You poor thing, I couldn't even begin to imagine how that feels…"
Revy looked down, watching through blurry eyes as her tears fell in
her tea. "But now the search is over, you can relax Revy-san, you
will see him again."
For the first time in years, Revy allowed herself to cry.
/
Dutch knew it would come to this, he had been getting the chills ever
since they entered Gato's fort, and now he knew his old war-time
instincts were right. Now he had to find a new connection in the
elemental nations while placating Rock's curiosity about
Revy.
'_Fuck my life'_ was all he could think.
The two were now walking back to the Lagoon to update Benny on what
happened and then hopefully decide on what to do next. They could go
further into the Elemental Nations, there wasn't much he really
needed to do in Roanapur that couldn't wait, and Rock wasn't
half-lying when he stated that they needed a safety-net to fall back
on. Perhaps they should make their way to the 'hidden' village of
Konoha?
Meanwhile Rock was confused, '_I have never seen her that happy
before, not even when she beat me in a drinking match…' _The
japanese businessman would be lying to himself if he said that he
didn't have a crush on Revy. The woman was hot and had a personality
that he just couldn't help but be attracted to. No matter how much he
tried, for all his smarts Rock couldn't figure out what would make
the woman practically leap for joy like that, he knew Dutch knew, if
the way he nodded towards her was anything to go by.
"Dutch…. Would Revy's job have anything to do with what she was so
happy about?"
There it was. It was only a matter of time before he asked and Dutch,
all things considered, was pretty lucky that he had managed to stall
for so long. Now he had to play 20 questions with the
Jap.
Nonetheless, he took out his cigarette and stomped into the ground,
"Yes, however that's all I can say, she'll tell you if she wants to,
understood?" Rock was smart enough, and understood the hidden threat
behind his words, '_Don't work your way into something that's none of
your business'_
With that thought he looked forward and tried to continue his 'job'
like a professional. It was pretty easy to forget that Dutch was his
boss, and not a good friend you could hang out with and rely
on.
When Rock shut his trap and just kept walking, Dutch nearly wanted to
kneel down and kiss the Earth, but he settled for something a little
less extreme.
'_Amen, Hallelujah, and Peanut Butter'_
/
At first the only thing Naruto knew was that it was dark. Then,
finally, he realized WHY it was so dark in the first place.
He was blindfolded.
'_And I call myself a prodigy amongst genin'_
Honestly he should have been expecting this. You don't just go out
and collect information on a missing nin all willy nilly like he did,
and now he was paying the consequences.
'_But if I was going to die then I wouldn't mind it being at the
hands of that pretty woman I saw…'_
No! Bad Naruto! Find out what your situation is and _then _give up.
Hands tied behind his back? Check. Legs tied against what seems to be
a chair he's sitting on? Check. Naruto had to give them credit where
it was due, they really bound him up good, but not good enough.
The first mistake they made was tying up his hands together instead
of separately, so he could still do hand signs for making a clone or
substitute himself for a log. So the silver lining of his current
predicament was that he had an escape route.
Suddenly, the blindfold placed on him was removed and a bright light
invaded his eyes immediately, some people really underestimate how
much that hurts. Looking around, he noticed that he was in some kind
of cellar, and he wasn't too surprised to spot the familiar pink
kimono being worn by the hunter-nin who had supposedly 'killed'
Zabuza.
"Welcome back to the land of the living, Gaki," a rough voice spoke
behind him. Naruto recognized that it was Zabuza's voice, and he
seemed to be pretty pleased with himself if his tone was anything to
go by. No matter how much pride Naruto had in himself, he couldn't
understand what Zabuza had to gain from kidnapping him, or worse,
torturing him.
An involuntary shudder went down his spine.
"Nice to see you too, Zabuza, how's that arm of yours doing?" He
really shouldn't provoke enemies when they have the upper hand, but
he was still sarcastic by nature, and rubbing salt into his wound
caused by a mere genin was the perfect way to get underneath Zabuza's
skin.
A prickly sensation was at his throat in an instant, and the voice
behind him was suddenly coated in killing intent, "I wouldn't mess
with me right now Gaki, especially when you're the one stuck in a
chair." What was probably a kunai was removed from his throat, and
Naruto watched from the corner of his eye as Zabuza walked around the
chair until he was facing him.
"In case you're wondering, it was Haku's idea to kidnap you, not
mine. I'm sure even a brat like would understand why I wouldn't want
to actually execute his plan," Zabuza gestured towards Haku who
removed her mask, "but it seems she came across some interesting
information while I was recovering."
Haku looked to Zabuza for a second, to which he nodded and she began
to speak, "Did you know someone was looking for you, Naruto-kun?"
Said plum haired genin came up with a million ways to sarcastically
reply to her question, such as '_what's with the -kun suffix?' _or
'_no shit someone's probably looking for me right now,' _but he
settled for the answer that wouldn't kill him
immediately.
"No"
Again, the irritatingly sweet smile plastered itself onto her face
and she commented, "She looked a lot like you…" this threw him off
guard, not many people in Konoha looked like him, and not many of
