The Unwanted Uzumaki

Element's Unlocked

Standing inside the large room where Naruto had first met Sanos, he waited for the wolf spirit to start his explanation of the magic that he will be unlocking within him. "Listen closely Naruto. Before I begin to teach you the basics of the magic that I will help you unlock, I need to first explain what magic I contain." Sanos called out as he stood in the center of the room. 

When Naruto gave a nod of acknowledgement, Sanos continued. "I am what is known as an Elemental Cerberus. While in my human form I can use any of the three elements under my control though while I am in my celestial form; each of my heads have control over a separate element. These elements are fire, ice and lightning. Each of which will be under your control as well though the spells you are able to use will still have to be learned by study." Sanos explained. 

Hearing this sent a shockwave of joy rippling through the pit of his stomach since he was going from having no way of protecting himself to have three magic types under his command.

Once Sanos had completed his explanation, he motioned for Naruto. Wanting to have the base knowledge of each of these elements unlocked as soon as he could, Naruto moved his body as fast as he could. 

When Naruto stood in front of Sanos, the wolf spirit began the process of unlocking Naruto's potential. Sanos brought one hand towards Naruto's head and after placing it upon him; he brought his other hand towards Naruto's stomach. "Be warned Naruto. This may hurt a little." Sanos warned as both hands started to glow. 

At first Naruto didn't feel anything but after a few minutes a burning heat started to pulsate through his body and just as Naruto thought that he was going to melt from the inside; this heat was replaced by a frosty cold that felt as if it was going to freeze him in place. Subtly Naruto began to feel parts of his body start to twitch as if an electric current was traveling through his body.

When all three feelings finally vanished, Sanos lifted his hands from Naruto's body and once this was done; he began to speak. "You did very well Naruto. Not many potential Mages would have been able to handle three elements running through their body at once. You have proven to be much stronger than many that are twice your age." Sanos congratulated as he made his way outside of the room. Though as he was walking, he once again started to speak. "Tomorrow, the real work of learning to control the elements will begin. You should get some rest." Sanos explained before vanishing past the threshold of the door.

Hikaru was pacing back in forth, the fury that he was feeling at his parent's behavior causing him to constantly move. Hours had passed since he had bolted from his father's office and every idea that he could come up with to help find Naruto was quickly nixed by the fact that his existence didn't even mark the walls of his family's estate. 

"How is it possible that they don't have one picture of their youngest son anywhere in this house?" Hikaru muttered to himself as he continued to pace across the flooring of his bedroom. "How am I supposed to find you Naruto?" Hikaru wept as silent tears rolled down the cheeks of his tanned skin. 

Since Hikaru didn't know what he would do if he sighted any member of his family, he thought it would be best if he kept himself separated from them for the time being and as such he skipped family dinner; vowing to exit his room when he was sure that everyone had went behind the doors of their own rooms. Thankfully, this seemed to happen much sooner than usual and once Hikaru heard both doors shut; he made his own escape. 

Closing his bedroom door as quietly as he could, Hikaru crept down the stairs. Once on the bottom floor of his family estate, Hikaru made his way once more to Naruto's room. The only comfort he has been able to receive since Naruto's departure was breathing in his scent while he slept.

The Next Day

In all his years of living, Naruto swore he had never felt exhaustion quite like this. The first spell that Sanos had taught him was much more difficult to bring forth than he originally thought it would be. "How am I going to become a Mage if I can't even use a spell?" Naruto growled to the fox demon within him.

Naruto knew that Kurama was about to respond by the huffing sound that he heard echo in his mind. "Naruto. This training that your going through is the same as the Ninja training that you would have received if my presence didn't destroy your chakra. You just have to focus on the energy that now flows through you." Kurama explained with a growing desire to see Naruto succeed here. 

"I know that you are right Kurama but its so difficult to even grasp ahold of this mana that Sanos told me about. Every time I think I have a grip on it, it slides away." Naruto retorted.

Though Naruto was exhausted and frustrated, he had no plans to give up. Once more Naruto pushed himself into position to bring forth the mana from his body. However, this time around Naruto decided to not be as forceful with the new energy that flowed through him. "I know that you wish to come out as much as I want you to...just please allow me to use you!" Naruto whispered as he once again moved his mind to gather the necessary mana.  

Immediately Naruto felt the cool slick feeling of the mana flowing into his hands. Now that the goal of coaxing the mana to him had become complete, Naruto moved to cast the spell. "Purple Flare." Naruto called out as he threw his hands into the air. 

In front of Naruto formed two red stars that were outline by a vibrant glowing purple circles. From the center of these circles, poured small bursts of purple fire. 

"I did it!" Naruto cried out as he started to jump in place. This however caused him to lose focus on the magic that he was conjuring which caused the mana to slip away once more. Though Naruto had lost his grip on the energy once again, he still felt accomplished at the fact that he was able to use the spell in the first place. "I have to tell Sanos!" Naruto yipped out as he bolted for the door to the library. 

Once inside of the abandoned center of knowledge, Naruto saw Sanos in his usual spot. "Sanos! I did it. I was finally able to get the mana to listen to me long enough to use the spell." Naruto cried out as he sprinted towards the wolf spirit. 

Sanos mimicked the expression that Naruto held as he looked upon his contract holder. "Very good Naruto. If you continue to work on mastering the basics of the element of fire then we will be able to move on towards the other elements I unlocked for you." Sanos informed the blond apprentice Mage. 

Once Sanos had finished speaking, he turned his attention back to the book that he was reading and though the wolf spirit was trying to read; Naruto had too many questions for him to allow him to do so. "Sanos since I am done with my training for the day. Can you explain to me how you and the other Celestial Spirits got trapped within this world?" Naruto inquired of his wolf spirit. 

Knowing that he wouldn't be able to read anytime soon, Sanos closed his book and motioned for Naruto to take a seat. Once Naruto did this, Sanos began to speak. "My people the Celestial Spirits come from the Celestial Kingdom which serves the Mages of a dimension known as Earth Land. The first Celestial Spirits to be placed within your world were ones that had broken the laws that the Celestial King had put in place and when they were banished here, the King had broken the keys that would allow us to enter back into the Celestial Kingdom." Sanos explained to his younger contract holder. 

Hearing this caused Naruto to wonder what laws Sanos broke to be banished here, this question was one that he quickly voiced. "Sanos, if you don't mind me asking...what law did you break to be banished by your King?" Naruto asked of the wolf spirit. 

"I didn't break any law Naruto. I was created here. My parents as you would call them took pieces of themselves to form me." Sanos informed his contract holder. 

Upon hearing this, Naruto gave a curt nod of his head. "However you ended up here. I am glad that you did..." Naruto spoke out before placing his hand upon Sanos's arm. 

Now that everything has been said between them for the time being, both Naruto and Sanos drifted into the silence that surrounded them.
