This is the story about Shio Uzumaki, Naruto's twin brother. Shio was a normal six year old until the day some drunk ninja tried to kill him and Naruto. He was forced to release the demon's chakra or die, and in doing so his chakra system is wrecked by the potent chakra. Now he lives on with a disease that is slowly killing him while trying to hide it from Naruto and everyone else. What happens when he learns about things he can't even remember? Is he really the Shio that everyone knows, or was he living a lie the entire time? How did he get involved with not only the Akatsuki, but Orochimau as well? Let's just say that that he never seems to have any dull moments. I began writing this story after seeing a picture of Menma on the internet. Shio wears somethings like Menma but that's about where the similarities end. He has a very interesting and elaborate past life, and his future is just as twisted as well. Please comment and tell me how I did!
