*******X. CHAPTER 1********X.

A three year old wandered the streets of the Hidden Leaf Village late at night. This would usually be frown upon as someone would most likely be reported to Child services seeing as they obviously weren't doing a good job caring for a child however this child was the most hated reminder of what they had lost three years before on the toddler's birthday. No one would care if the child was out late or dead, most would probably celebrate if it was the later.

The toddler is male with wide blue eyes that were a shade one could only spot when the sun hit the ocean just right, making the sea sparkle a dazzling blue that taunted the sky with its coloring. Sun kissed blond hair bounced with each step the toddler took.

A bright smile pulling at the eager young boy's face as he went on his adventure escaping his so-called supervisors, that were in a frenzy searching everywhere for the boy on the other side of the village fearing what would happen to them if the boy was not found soon. They were ANBU but even they feared what could happen to them if the leader of the village, the Third Hokage, caught wind of their carelessness.

His small scars that are three even lines on each cheek resembled whiskers gave him a feral look that many of the villagers took as his true from trying to hide in the shape of a child but not completely hiding the monster within.

For this boy is the container of a demon known as the nine tail fox, Kyuubi, that had attacked and killed thousands on the night he was born. The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, had chosen him, Naruto Uzumaki, to seal the demon away into at the cost of the young leader's life, saving the village but not being able to bring back the dead that had fallen at the fox's hand.

Most villagers couldn't tell the difference between the cell and prisoner since their hated and fear blinded them from seeing a child who had never asked to have his life ruin after the three minutes of being into this world. All they saw was the monster who had taken from them loved ones and had the guts to have the same coloring of the hero who defeated the monster three years before.

They could only think and see the youngling Naruto as the demon he held back from killing them all. In doing so all glared coldly, called him names, full out spat at him and even some went as far as trying to end the boy's life. If it wasn't for the protection that Hokage had on him, Naruto would not have made it past his first week of life. Seeing as there were two hundred and twelve attempts on the boy's life before he was even a week old, in fact those were done in Naruto's first two days.

Trying to give the boy a normal life the Hokage passed a law which forbidden people from ever mentioning the truth of the nine tails to the younger generation, if the law was broken the penalty was death. That didn't stop most villagers from yelling for the head of the boy however.

Naruto wasn't safe in his own villages to the point that he needed ANBU guards even though Minato, the very hero who saved them, had been the one to make the greatest sacrifice that a father could make by turning his own child into a cell.

Leaving the Third to ponder on the safety of the boy if the other villages were to ever find out about Naruto's parents coming to the conclusion, that they would not haste to kill the blond child in order to get revenge on the now dead hokage; Hey revenge was revenge even if the one they got revenge on couldn't feel the pain from six feet under.

Deciding it was too late to stop the world from learning Naruto's jinchuriki statues the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, told the world that Kushina Uzumaki's and Minato Namikaze's son had died that night.

The boy's god parents, Jiraiya and Tsunade, had been devastated by the news, to the point they left without making contact other then Jiraiya's spy network reporting in. Hiruzen felt bad about lying to them especially when his male student broke down crying after being delivered the news of his "dead" godson but it was for Naruto protection and he knew he's made the right choice.

Or at least he hopes he did.

But even with all that went around him Naruto is still three and to the three year old, who had never been allowed to go outside during the night even with ANBU guards, this was the greatest adventure of the life time. He's eyes took in the desorbed streets giggling as he walked.

Naruto's chubby feet took him down the street stopping every so often to pick an object off the ground. Turing the rock that he managed to get pick up on Naruto used both of his hands to hold it out in front of him, looking around for someone to hold his new treasure.

The masked men and woman would always hold his treasures after all, but they were always hiding so Naruto had to find them first.

Spotting a wall with a big sign on it Naruto made his way over. The blond three year used his small little hand to hit on the wall yelling out "op'n! Op'n!" hitting repeatedly with his open palm, when no came to open the gate door of the new area that he had wandered into Naruto pouted but moved on.

Walking around the perimeter of the wall that had the same sign of the gate, his ears picked up the sound of water dripping, to a child that love splashing in water it was just begged Naruto to followed the dripping to a sewer hole that was big enough for him to squish into. The hole happen to be the compound's way of getting out most of unwanted junk that they digested which was always covered had been ripped open.

Looking into the hole, Naruto dropped his rock that slipped out his hands.

The blue eyes watched his precious treasure disappear into the darkness. Turning his head to the left Naruto eyes watered and his lower lip quivered letting out a cry. Until he heard someone curse as the rock landed on a man's head down below. "Who the hell throw that!?"

Naruto is a smart boy, years of learning a game called "hide" where the masked men and woman who took care of him told young Naruto that if he ever heard someone curse they were bad people. Bad people were the ones he had to hide from in the game of ninja that Weasel had taught him how to play.

The point of the game was to hide when the "bad ninja" played by Weasel would count then look for him, from his hiding place Naruto was suppose to stay hidden until the ANBU gave up or throw one of his teddy bears at the teen to "defeat" the ninja and complete the mission.

Connecting them in his head over the years when drunken villagers had tried to hurt him after the whiskered boy wandered away from his guards and that he the fact that he always hid afterwards Naruto came to the conclusion of everyone was playing a game with him. That every bad person was just trying to catch him to win the game and take him to jail, which was a fort of pillows in his nursery. .

But Naruto was fast and had learn how to hide in places that even the ANBU had a hard time trying to find him.

So with a happy smile that someone wanted to play Naruto quickly spotted a hiding place by the wall right under the sign in a hole. Running as fast as he could with his toddlers legs the blond boy was out of sight when an anger ninja covered in complete black jumped up from where his rock disappeared from.

Naruto watched as the ninja's eyes moved around looking for the one who had thrown a rock at his head but the man had not seen him. Quickly looking around for one of his teddy bears, Naruto realized that he had none but not letting that stop him the boy just picked up another larger rock, getting ready to throw when the other player's back was turn.

When the ninja discarded the fact that someone had thrown the rock and the thing had probably just fallen since it was a fairly large hole, he was about to make a jump away from the compound with the kidnapped daughter of the clan head when he felt a shape pain in the back of his neck. As the world started turning back the man knew he had been caught and he had failed his village.

Unable to do anything as he lost concourse he just hoped that the rumors of how cruel the tree huggers could be when they were pissed or when it came to torturing were lies.

The body of the cloud ninja hit the ground, and his kidnapped girl fell with him. Letting out a cry of victory Naruto made his was over the man knowing he was just pretending as Weasel would do the same whenever the teen got hit, but this "bad ninja" didn't clutch his chest dramatically and cry that Naruto "got him. And to tell his mother he loved her" before falling to the ground with a "bla" sound waiting for Naruto to get close.

The boy had learned not to get close to Weasel when he fell because then he would get caught by the tickle monster though, so with a wary eye he stayed away laughing and yelling out at the top of his lungs "YES! I D'D IT! I WIN!"

Unknown to the child the compound that ninja just came out of was the Hyuga's and he had stopped a kidnapping attempt on the heiress, Hinata Hyuga who was the same age as him in the process of winning his game. He had stopped something which could had ended very badly for the girl's family was unaware of the fact that the man had disappeared with the heiress, they were all searching for the girl inside believing she was hiding from bed time again.

Frowning when the man didn't get up Naruto made his way over yelling in the knock out man's ear "I WIN! Y'U LOS'!"

Of course the man did not answer leading to Naruto stomping his foot at being ignored. The "nice" man who played with him was probable tired like most of his ANBU guards would get when they were ordered to play with Naruto, since the whisker boy had alawys had energy to spar. Making it a hard job staying awake with the boy, the ANBU would usually just drop from exhaustion and sleep in the middle of a game not moving till hours later, when they woke.

Ironically this was the reason Naruto had wandered out this night since the four ANBUs who were watching him could not take going any further without some sleep.

With a pout the blond toddler turned to the girl who was on the ground beside the man. Tilting his head at her he wondered if she was playing with them too.

Then he thought of the time Weasel needed to sleep too so the teen had told him that even if he had managed to hit him Naruto still needed to find the " treasure" that the ANBU had hidden in the nursery to win their game.

It had been the blessed four days that the boy left the ANBU alone instead of begging them to play as the boy was busy trying to find the object that Weasel had described even if there was no flying blue potato that granted wishes if you could sing a song about orange that rhymed the boy looked.

The girl must be this man's hidden treasure! It made sense in the boy's head since ninjas saved princess all the time, so the girl was probably the princess!

Go over to her he happily shacked the dark hair girl saying "Up! Up! I Win!"

When she didn't wake up Naruto pouted but thought of taking her back to base, and since base was always where the bad ninja came from Naruto tried to pick her up, but In the end ended up just dragging her across the floor towards the hole when Hiashi Hyuga jumped over the wall after hearing Naruto's yells of winning.

When he saw the cloud ninja knocked out on the ground, his daughter being dragged by a blond boy who seemed about his daughters aged and the boy put Hinata protectively behind him after spotting him, Hiashi knew from what he saw the clan head of the Hyuga clan could pieces together what had happen.

The Cloud Village had lied about the peace treaty, while in truth they were just trying to steal one of the village's best bloodlines from the Hyuga but this child here had managed to stop their little plan. Judging by the rise and fall of the ninja the boy made sure to not kill the bastard too as a bonus.

Moving forward Hiashi said "good job boy, now please give me my daughter"

He was surprised when the child throw a well place rock at his chest, if wasn't for the fact that he saw the rock being thrown he wasn't sure if he would be able to dodge the large thing with the speed it was going. "NO! I FUD! I WIN!"

That had been when the clan head realized that the boy is the demon brat.

His baby had been caught by the demon brat. Who knew what that thing could do to Hinata.

Quickly trying to get behind the monster with a teleportation justu he had not expected the blond child to turn and punched him in his family jewels. Eyes wide Hiashi fell to his knees gasping for air because it hurt that much just to be meeting the fist of the boy in his face. Naruto hit like his hands were made of steel.

Nose bleeding from the hit, Hiashi tried to grab the whiskered boy but it bite his hand then used it's free hands to yank as mush hair as it could. Growling at him the blond thing yelled "No Bath!"

Then the demon started poking his eyes out, punching, kicking, biting and picking anything it could lift to beat him to the ground with. Not once did Hiashi get a chance to doge or hit back, because the demon didn't give him the opening. The thing was even crawling all over him never staying in one place longer than a few seconds just long enough to cause pain.

A small part of him remembered a certain red head that had fought the same way. Like this was a bar battle royal.

Naruto kept hitting the Meany head that came to get him for his bath. All of the ANBU would only use the invisible thingy when they were going to pick him up for his bath. Learning how to react when that tingling sensation happen to bottom of his neck Naruto merely followed his instincts to turn and punch.

It just so happen to be between the legs of the man. The place that Weasel had told him never to hit again, after Naruto's favorite ANBU finished crying on the ground when Naruto managed to land a blow after being told by Weasel it was bath time.

Naruto didn't like bath time.

Just like Weasel, the man with the long hair made a pop sound when Naruto's chubby fist made contact. He's eyes got wide just like all the other men Naruto hit but for some reason the ladies never did.

Realizing if help didn't arrive soon Hiashi would probably never see the light again he made a mental sign calling out to his brother in blind hope to be save from this little monster. Praying to any being up there to save him before he lost all feeling of his body as the demon didn't seem to be stopping anytime soon.

Ripping out some hair Naruto hissed in the hyuga's ear before crawling down to his leg biting as the boy went Hiashi yelled out "get it off! Get it off! For the love of all that is holly GET IT OFF!"

Just as Naruto was getting bored of hitting the man, someone pulled him up from the back of his clothes. Turning his head up Naruto saw a man who looked just like the Meany head. The man looked at him with lavender pupil less eyes filled with laughter and amusement. "Hi there little boy. What are you doing to my brother?"

Happy that the man didn't say the word bath Naruto giggled at him saying cutely "I win"

Hizashi Hyuga laughed "yes you did. I mean look how you left two grown well train ninjas!"

He was referring to the out for the count Cloud ninja and his brother who was shakily rocking himself back and forth just like his twin did whenever Kushina would come over to the compound. The girl had beaten his brother to the ground- and every time she saw him for that matter- because she had seen him used the curse seal on her teammate pissing Kushina off to the point she had thrown his brother beating him till Hiashi peed himself.

Being the first time someone had ever been stood up for him when his seal had been activated and the first time he ever found a girl beautiful.

Thinking about his dead teammate made the light in Hizashi's eyes dim just a little.

However at Naruto's happy laugh as Hizashi placed him against his hip the marked Hyuga thought of how his brother had been rolling on the ground screaming like a little girl trying to get the three year old off, Hizashi couldn't help the laughter which bubbled in his throat to escape. Kushina would have never have let Hiashi forget the scene he just saw.

He was truly impressed with the child to the point that he started looking for some sweets that he kept on his person at all times for his own son. You never knew when your child does something so brilliant you just have to give them a reward. Just like this boy needed to get his reward for scaring the crap out of the fearless clan head.

However he carried only two or three soft candies as he's son was now four and can handle hard candy without chocking.

Searching for a candy that wasn't hard Hizashi said. "You know little guy you remind me of my genin teammate Kushina. In fact you sorta look like her I could say you were her's. Did you know that I would have been your dad if my marriage wasn't decided at my birth and that she if wasn't so in love with…with.."

Looking into the boy's blue eyes Hizashi was suddenly back in time looking into the same eyes which seemed so smug at the fact that his red head teammate was giving all of her attention to him.

The same eyes of Minato Namikaze.

Minato who had the same hair as this boy….Minato who had token great pleasure of rubbing in his face about his first date with Kushina….Minato who had been waiting at the end of the alter for his bride which had been Kushina… Minato who had been reading parenting books before his death.

Could this boy be…?

No it wasn't possible after all the Third told him and his other genin teammate Tsume Inuzuka, of Kishina's son passing, the Hokage would not lie to them. They had a right to know if the boy was still alive.

Hell they didn't even know what name his teammate picked since they were both away on a mission when she had sent them a message through messaging birds about finally picking a name for her unborn son. Telling them to hurry up and get back home since she wouldn't tell them unless it was face to face.

She never got the chance. When they had finally gotten back they were told that Kushina had been move to a safe place to give birth for the fear of what could happen if things got complicated. Tsume and he both knew about her housing the nine tails, which was one of the reasons they weren't like the rest who blamed the small child of being the real demon. Kushina hadn't been evil so whatever poor child had been picked to become the next landlord of the Kyuubi's house couldn't be either.

He had never seen said child though since the Third kept the boy as hidden as he could because it was too dangerous for the boy out in public.

Discarding his thought about his teammate and that bastard Minato from his head he asked Naruto if he would like some candy when he finally found a soft one. What the boy said next left him breathless in shock.

"yeah Dattebayo!" Naruto cried as he took the candy the nice man held out.

Staring wide eyed at the child Hizashi turn to look at his brother who had a horror expression on his face as if trying to deny what he just heard. Good he wasn't the only one who heard the Dattebayo then.

There was only one person who said that…the boy's face figures…the boy's fight way…and the boy's coloring. Had he been lied to? Had Kushina's and Minato's boy survive?

From the ever growing terror on his brother's face he knew that the answers to both of those questions are yes. He had been lied to and Kushina's boy had survived.

"Um little guy do you want another candy?" He asked hoping to find a full out answer to be sure.

"yah!" the bond kid said eyeing the other piece of candy in Hizashi's hand as it moved side to side.

"okay but you have to answer a question first. What is your name?" the cursed man asked holding his breath as his heart speed up to the point he had to strain to hear the whiskered boy's answer.

Naruto eyes sparked because he knew that answer to that question since Weasel had taught him how to introduce himself. He was going to get more candy!

"Naruto Uzumaki!" He proudly proclaims taking the candy with glee.

As Naruto ate he missed the look of shock on both Hyugas until Hiashi let out a sound of pure horror before practically crying "OH DEAR GOD! SHE BREED!"

He had to tell Tsume right away about him finding Kushina's boy and how now that he could see the whiskered marks figured out which child had been chosen to be the village's blaming kid for all that had happen that night.

When Tsume finds out about this heads are going to roll. He thought as he patted Naruto's head. I'M GOING TO KILL THAT LYING OLD MAN!

The truth was out now and no matter what the village will never hurt this child again because Hizashi wouldn't let them.
