Re-animated Naruto~A Naruto fanfiction

Chapter 2

I feel something shaking...

I can feel warm rays through the small holes on the box, falling on my icy cold body.

A box, huh?

Something doesn't feel right.

I still can't open my eyes or move around.

And this warm rays, I only experienced it on earth, when I was alive.

And I am dead. For God knows how long.

Though it's warm, something doesn't sit right with the atmosphere. There's a weird tension, I can't exactly pinpoint where I am or what actually is going on.

The movement of the box abruptly stopped causing me to jerk backwards. I regained my balance.

Suddenly, I heard something falling in front of me along with bright light and warmth.

I heard people gasping.

People, huh?

This really is messed up.

I slowly opened my eyes, trying to adjust to the bright light.

When I finally opened my eyes, I saw many people wearing green vests stepping back, fear evident in their eyes.

"Isn't that Yellow Flash's son?"

I tilted my head, moving out of the box. So they recognised me. It's no wonder. I was one of the few strongest shinobis in Konoha. Rival of the Uchiha prodigy, Uchiha Sasuke. A member of the legendary Team 7. The great copy cat ninja's student. Trained by one of the legendary sannin, Jiraya. A skilled infiltrator and assassin feared by nations along with Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi. The Hokage's son...

Hmm... Is dad still the hokage? I'm not sure.

Anyway I can see why they look at me with such fear.

I looked at myself. I am wearing a read long cloak with grey hood. A black shinobi pants and grey shinobi footwear. I looked at my hands. There were cracks.

What happened to my hands?

I got out of the box and looked around.

I narrowed my eyes. This place looks like a mess. Dead bodies of people scattered across the ground. Kunais and shurikens embedded into the ground. Spilled with blood almost everywhere.

"Out of all people, why did the enemy summoned him?"

"We're doomed. We don't stand a chance against the Yellow Flash's son."

Enemy? Summon? What exactly is going on?

Before I could ask the ninjas what they meant, I felt someone standing beside me. He put his hand on my shoulder and opened his mouth to say something. Before I turned to look at the man, I heard someone shouting my name.

"Naruto! What are you doing here!?"

That voice...

"Sasuke?"

I turned around. Indeed, it's Sasuke.

He's not alone.

Dad and mom are staring at me wide eyed. Mom's wearing a jonin vest. Dad wore his hokage outfit.

Standing next to dad is Gaara, the Kazekage.

Itachi-san and Kakashi sensei standing on either side of dad, as guards I suppose.

"What's going on?" I asked.

I literally have no clue what's happening. One moment, I was lying peacefully in a dark void and next moment I was abruptly pulled out. Now I'm standing on a place which is a complete mess looking like a battlefield.

"I revived you using re-animation jutsu. You are under my command now." The man spoke.

I finally looked at him and my black eyes widened.

"Kabuto, is that you?"

"Yes. It's me. I, along with Tobi have revived you so that you can help us defeat these shinobis. We have to win this war."

"The war?"

"Yes. The fourth shinobi war."

With that he disappeared.

"Why is there a war?" I asked the still shocked group of people.

My question broke them out of their trance. Mom's lips started quivering.

Oh no... Here comes the waterfalls...

"Because-"

"Naruto!!!" I heard three people calling me.

Sakura, Jiraya and Tsunade came to the front line.

"How are you still alive?" Tsunade screamed with tears in her eyes.

"Re-animation jutsu. Kabuto and Tobi revived him. He's our enemy now." Gaara said.

"NO!!" My mom yelled. "He's my son. He's not an enemy."

Most people think that after coming back to life from dead, your bonds with your dearest people will be deep, deep than when you were once alive.

But in my case, I didn't exactly feel anything new. In fact I felt exhausted just by standing near the people who I loved more than my life when I was alive.

Don't get me wrong. I still love them and respect them. But it's not the same anymore.

After my death, I stopped being the Hokage's son, legendary sannin's apprentice, Team7's team mate and finally a Konoha shinobi.

The enemy revived me to fight the war, which I have no interest in doing so.

So I just stood there blankly looking at the emotional people infront of me.

Some part of me wanted to comfort them and laugh and smile with them.

But right now, I'm the enemy's pawn. Kabuto will take control of my body any moment now.

I watched as mom slowly walked towards me.

She lifted her hands and slightly touched my cheeks.

I didn't move. I only felt a pang in my heart.

She retreated her hands and hugged me tightly.

I was about to hug her back when my mind went blank.

My hands fell back to where they were before. I lost control over my body. It must be Kabuto. I must warn mom and the others to get away from me.

But before I could say anything, my body moved on its own. I kneed her abdomen, causing her to double over in pain.

Before she could recover, I kicked her side and send her flying to where my dad is.

"Naruto" she cried.

I let out a sigh. This fight will be purely one-sided if they don't fight back. I want them to defeat me or I will end up killing all of them.

Good grief... I just wanted to rest in peace...

"Kushina-san, in this battlefield, we are enemies. If you let your emotions get the best of you, you'll be killed. You know how powerful I am. Especially when the enemy is controlling me. Work together to kill me, that's the only way to stop me, or I will be forced to kill you all." I said walking towards them.

From their expressions, I can tell they weren't expecting such a cold treatment. But we're in a battlefield. Not in a family reunion party. They can't get emotional right now.
