Chapter 1

Konohagakure no sato, the village hidden in the leafs. This village when spoken of is considered to be the epitome of peace of all five great nations. It looked so peaceful that travelers would forget about their travels, and decide to live within the village.

It was a relatively windy night in the village with the cold gust blowing anything it came in contact with as such one four year old child with short spiky sun-kissed blonde hair, dazzling blue eyes that seem to be dulled with sadness that no child should know and three fox looking whisker marks on each cheek, was curled up in a ball at the end of a street beside a trash bin trying with all his might to keep warm and hopefully fall asleep.

This child was none other than Naruto Uzumaki, he wore a white short sleeved shirt that looked two sizes too big with a red swirl at the front and back, a dark blue short pants and blue shinobi sandals. He was considered to be the village pariah for reasons that eluded him in his young life, but this was no ordinary child he was born the tenth of October, the day that the great kyuubi no kitsune attacked the village and the day the yondaime hokage gave his life to stop the mightiest of all tailed beasts from destroying the village by sealing this mighty beast into a new born child with an unruly turf of blonde hair and three unnatural but cute fox like whisker marks on each cheek, because of this Naruto became what was known as a jinchuriki otherwise known as a human sacrifice, although he had no knowledge of being a jinchuriki.

Young Naruto's hopes of falling asleep were all but lost as three rather drunk men each wearing a konoha headband and chunin flak jacket step around the corner and spotted his unruly blonde hair, they walked up to his curled up form, looking at each other before looking back at his form and speaking ''Hey look it's the demon brat just lying here and waiting for us to teach him its place ''said the one on the left before nudging Naruto's curled up form with his foot. "Lesh (let's) not keep em (him) waitin (waiting) then'' Slurred the one in the middle before he kicked Naruto getting a scream out of the young blond. The one on right just gave a menacing smile before taking out a spool of ninja wire from the pouch on his leg, bending down and bounding Naruto's hand and feet with it, picking up his form by his hands and holding him up for the others. The other two got what he was thinking about and started punching and kicking the blond while he screamed with hot tears streaming down his battered and swollen face. Naruto tried to scream again only to choke and gasp for air as one chunin stabbed him in his shoulder with a kunai, coughing, he finally got hold of his breath before asking them what he did to them to deserve this, a chunin spat on him before answering his question. "you killed my sister kyuubi brat so don't act like you don't know what you did'' he shouted before stabbing him in the other shoulder. "I-I d-didn't kill a-anybody'' Naruto shouted back trying to reason, but it only seemed to anger them more. The chunin pulled out another kunai before speaking "It's time we finish what the yondaime started …. don't you think boys'' The others just nodded before the chunin used the kunai to slice Naruto's throat open at the same time the other chunin dropped him as they all decided to leave him still bounded by his hands and feet.

He tried to scream but it only came out in gurgles while blood seeped from the wound, he closed his eyes deciding that no one would help a demon like him at the same time he letting his mind wonder to his dream of being the best hokage in the village" Why should I protect those that don't even like me, why should I risk my life for people who would want me dead'' He was broken from his thoughts by even and voice devoid of emotion speaking to him" would you like me to help you, make you stronger, let the beatings stop …. nod your head if you want my help … but be warned if you accept my help you will belong to you will become a weapon for me to use how I see fit''
Naruto open his eyes to see who was speaking to him to see a man that in the back of his head he thought resembled a mommy, the man had shaggy black hair, he appeared to be an old man, around the same age as the hokage, he had an x shaped scar on his chin, he wore a gray robe that covered his entire body his right eye was heavily bandaged, he held a cane in his left hand with his right hand also heavily bandaged.

Naruto thought about it for what seemed like an hour that was really a second before nodding his head, his eyes drooped down as he felt someone take him up but felt too tired to check who it was or how the crippled looking man did it and so he gave into the sweat embrace of sleep.

(Next day)

Naruto awoke with a groan before hastily moving his hand to his previously slit throat only to find smooth unharmed skin for a moment he entertained the thought of what happened last night as bazaar nightmare and laid his body back down on the cold, hard street only to feel a hard and firm but still pleasantly warm bed, he sighed in contempt only to remember that he was kicked out of the orphanage last month for leaving without permission then it hit him it wasn't a dream he really almost died last night then like a switch flipped his bright and cherry smile all but disappeared replaced with a scowl that just seemed off on his face, his once bright and shinning eyes seemed to dull more than last night he was broken from his mussing by a cough that came from his left looking over to that location to see a man judging from his physique he wore a blank mask with the kanji Nee (root) on it, a dark skin tight long sleeved shirt covered by an Anbu style chest plate and dark blue pants and black ninja sandals." Naruto Uzumaki, Danzo-sama requests your presence in his study please follow me'' although it was said politely there was no emotion in his words all was said with a steady and even tone, seeing no harm in following him, Naruto got out of bed and silently followed him to the man he owed his life to.

He walked down the stone corridors following silently behind his Anbu escort, wondering where everyone was as the corridors were scarce of all people aside from his Anbu escort and him, his thoughts were broken by the sound of creaking as a door opened and his escort walked in so he followed and walked in to see the same person that had rescued him from his certain death. His escort bowed deeply before speaking" Mission completed Danzo-sama" Danzo merely made a hand gesture and the Anbu left without another word.

" Do you remember our deal last night child'' Danzo said rather bluntly, Naruto merely nodded before asking something that had been bothering him" L-last night one of those chunin guys called me Kyuubi brat what did he mean by that" Danzo looked at him for a moment before gesturing towards a seat, Naruto followed quickly hoping for his question to be answered" On the day of your birth the kyuubi attacked our village to save our village from further destruction the yondaime hokage decided to use a child to seal the demon into" ,he looked to see if Naruto was paying attention happy with what he saw he continued" the kyuubi can only be sealed into a newborn child with still developing chakra coils so that the child doesn't die these children are called jinchuriki ….. So now that you have knowledge of what you are, what are you going to do." For Naruto the world seemed to have stopped was he really a demon were the villagers really right about him all along then another thought popped into his head the hokage his ' jiji ' had to have known about this that meant he had been lied to ever time he asked about it, then another thought hit him this man Danzo he barely even knew him yet he didn't lie to him, he even offered to help him become stronger, he made up his mind then and there he would do what this man said because in his mind he was far more honest than everyone else. Naruto looked at Danzo before nodding his head to himself" if I become your weapon will you make me strong so that I don't ever get beat up by the villagers again'' he spoke with his head bowing deeply.

Danzo walked up to the blonde before tapping his shoulder and spoke all the while grinning on the inside he had finally acquired the perfect weapon" I will personally make sure that you will be the best, I will take you as an apprentice and make you the as strong if not stronger than the hokage himself follow me I shall show to your room although be warned these stone corridors will be the only thing you will see for the next four years of your life until you are at a level where you can do missions and join my root division'' with that said Danzo lead the way down the stony corridors to his young apprentices new living quarters once there Danzo gave him a piece of paper, then left him after telling him to remember what was on it.

Naruto went inside closed the door and looked at it as he read out loud:

5-9 a.m. warm up laps, sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, crunches and weight training

10-10:30 a.m. breakfast

10:30-1:59 p.m. taijutsu/kenjutsu training

2-3:59 p.m. chakra-control training

4-5:59 ninjutsu training

6-7:59 genjutsu training

8-9:59 fuinjutsu training

Naruto went wide eyed at all he was going to be doing in one day for the rest of his life, feeling overwhelmed by all the changes his life had undergone in just a few hours and promptly went to sleep.

(Next day - Danzo's quarters)

He sat in the middle of a dark room behind a desk with stacks of papers on his left and one in his hand looking over reports of missions when there was a knock at the door "come in'' he spoke. An Anbu entered the room and bowed before speaking, "Danzo-sama, the hokage has requested an urgent council meeting" the Anbu spoke. The bandaged man looked at him then spoke" Get Torune, tell him to that he is to take over training Naruto for me for the day" Hai Danzo-sama" with that the Anbu left to do his job"

"So Hiruzen has found out that the kyuubi jinchuriki is missing, that was faster than I expected, it doesn't matter I will not lose my weapon after just gaining him" he spoke to himself before picking up his cane and leaving to council room.

(Naruto's room)

Naruto awoke with a jump and promptly fell out of bed before looking to the clock on the wall, it read 6:30 "Shit!, I'm late for my first day of training" he didn't get to think any further on it as there was a knock at the door" Uzumaki-san, Danzo-sama is busy today and has requested that I train you for the day please come out now, we are already late" called a voice beyond the door. Getting up and checking over himself he nodded before exiting his room.

(Council room)

In the council room where all the clan heads, Shikaku Nara, Inochi Yamanaka, Chouza akamichi , Shibi Aburame, Tsume Inuzuka, Hiashi Hyuga, Fugaku Uchiha, three civilians as well as the sandaime hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi and two of three, as he was the third advisors, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado.

He promptly strode in and took his seat as the hokage decided to start the meeting" I have called this meeting to inform the council that the kyuubi jinchuriki, young Naruto Uzumaki has been reported missing…I have found leads to believe that he was kicked out of the orphanage and has been living on the streets for some time now … he was attacked last night by two of our own chunin, they are as of right now being interrogated by Anko and Ibiki as we speak, but young Naruto has not been found where they said they found him"

"Good riddance!, it's about time someone got rid of the demon brat" shouted a fat looking man from the civilian side, immediately after the outburst an Anbu came up behind him silted his throat and left again silently.

"…"

"…"

"…"

Shikaku was the first get over his shock of seeing the death of the civilian and spoke" Hokage-sama, is it possible for the kyuubi to take control of the boy's body if he was on deaths door" "it cannot take over his body, but it can influence his mind while at its weakest" the elderly hokage said letting out a tired sigh at the end, thinking on the possibilities of this happening he made up his mind "Shibi-san, Tsume-san could you use some of your best trackers to scout outside the village for him, he couldn't have gotten too far, this meeting is over you may all leave" he said picking up his pipe and lighting it on his way outside the room.

(With Naruto minutes earlier)

Arriving at a huge training ground that looked to be underground, now that he thought about it the whole place looked to be underground, although underground it had everything a waterfall, a sand pit, it even had trees although that was kind of strange, he was brought out of his musings by the voice of his substitute sensei "My name is Torune Aburame and as I said earlier I will take over your training for today… first thing we will begin with are laps, I want you to run 20 laps around this field then 20 sit-ups, 20 push-ups, 20 pull-ups, 20 crunches and … well you are still too young for weights so weight training will have to wait. Naruto didn't need to hear anything else to begin his hellish (for a four year old) training.

(After breakfast)

After finishing his warm ups and eating the best breakfast he'd ever had he was back at the training grounds with Torune" I don't know what type of taijutsu or kenjutsu kata Danzo-sama was going to teach you so I shall not give you any …. I will show you how the correct way to punch, kick and how to dodge attacks, for kenjutsu you will learn how to hold your weapon properly and you will work on your accuracy when throwing kunai knifes and Shuriken, let's begin"

After getting the stuffing beat out of him by his sensei it was time for his chakra control training

" Now before we get to chakra control we need you to understand and unlock your chakra, so listen carefully chakra is a mixture of physical and spiritual energy to have perfect control over chakra one must hone their bodies to be a perfect balance of the two. Let's begin first take a seat and meditate, search deep within yourself to find it and then pull it up begin" Naruto after much trial and error had unlocked his chakra but did so at the end of the chakra control session, so his sensei gave him a scroll with different exercises to practice in the next session or his free time.

"Now onto genjutsu training, you remember what I said about chakra being physical and spiritual energy, well while taijutsu is more of the physical genjutsu is the spiritual and requires almost perfect chakra control, now jinchuriki's such as yourself usually are hopeless in genjutsu because of two problems, 1 their larger than average chakra coils makes chakra control harder for them and two they have two different chakra sources since they house a Bijuu that is made up of living chakra inside their bodies do yo-''he was cut off by Naruto " I'll become the first jinchuriki to be able to use genjutsu then I'll become one of the greatest genjutsu masters you've ever seen sensei" Naruto shouted his voice filled with conviction and his eyes burning with fire, if Torune held any emotion he would have smirked at seeing such conviction in a child this age, so he did the next best thing "well since you have to work on chakra control first I will teach you how to dispel genjutsu, all you have to do is to try and find the foreign chakra that enters your body when a genjutsu is cast and purge It from your body with your own chakra, let's begin".

After failing to break the genjutsu for almost all the session he was given a thick book filled with kanjis, a brush, some ink, and a blank book his told him to return to his room and practice writing the kanjis over and over until they were flawlessly written and this was how four year old Naruto Uzumaki spent the next four years of his training and giving it his all to become stronger.
