A/N: Enjoy, Review

Naruto's whole life, all eight years of it, was spent in the slums of Konoha. There were less people who would bother him in the slums than in the streets. He learned his lesson well enough, being beaten into submission many, many times. But that stopped two years ago, when he wandered off into the slums. The Hokage knew he was there, even with his "all-seeing crystal ball" that he saw the Hokage used to spy on the hot springs, even though he tried to hide it when Naruto came in.

The Slums was home to Naruto. When he came there two years ago, he was just like any other abandoned orphan, and got taken in by a group of orphans, who survived in numbers, helping each other and stealing for each other. Every day, Naruto would go out and pickpocket whoever he sees who looks like he has enough money on them. Naruto has been attending the Academy for two months now, and was surprised by the crappy materials taught by the teacher. Who would use "The History of Konoha" during their fights? Learning from your past mistakes, yada yada, was acceptable, but they focus too much on the dates and names instead of the whys and hows.

Naruto learned of the Kyuubi two years ago, right after the last beating that broke bones and tore muscles.

Flashback

Naruto woke up in a sewer, "well this is new, they usually dump me in the trash can, might as well." He walked forward, going to the only road available, making lefts, lefts, rights, lefts, until he stopped at a red door standing about seven and a half foot with nothing inscribed. Naruto pushed opened the door, determined to know what was in the sewers of Konoha, but instead of riches and jewels that he hoped to see, he saw a cage with the kanji for seal written upon it.

"Hello….. Is anyone in here?" Naruto inquired into the depths of the cage

"Who dares disturbs my slumber?" asked the voice from the depths of the darkness. He then saw two red eyes opening up, but these eyes were as large as… well it was large.

Naruto was scared, but decided to answer to the voice, maybe it could help him find a way out of here. "I am Naruto Uzumaki, future Hokage of Konoha, so don't fuck with me….. Ano, do you know the way out of here?"

"Foolish ningen, this "sewer" that we are in right now would be your mindscape. Me? I am the Kyuubi no Kitsune, I fuck with whoever I want, and nothing you do can stop that. To get out of here? I don't know that myself because I have never gotten out of here, and probably never will either. You came here a bit earlier than I expected, but maybe this could work out better for the both of us." Kyuubi replied.

Naruto's mind was on overdrive to process the information. He was smarter than the villagers thought of him, only acting dumb so that there are less beatings, but the beatings still continued. What he saw in front of him was a fox, more specifically the Kyuubi no Kitsune. If he was here talking with the fox inside his mind, it shows that the fox isn't dead, but Jiji said that the fox died six years ago when it tried to attack Konoha and the Yondaime stopped it. Still, it doesn't explain why it got inside his mind and in the cage with the word "seal" on it….

"Fox brat"

"Demon"

"Murderer"

And the one that affected him most of all was an sixteen year old girl with purple hair crying "You kill my father." (1)

End Flashback of Flashback

Naruto connected the dots together, then looked up, took everything in with a deep breath, and said, "I am the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi, aren't I, fox?"

"You are smarter than the ningens give you credit for, I bet even that old bastard who's your Hokage right now doesn't know that. Oh well, you are right. Six years ago, your precious Yondaime fought me in my Genjutsu induced state by that masked bastard. He then sealed me, taking his own life, and hoped that you are treated as a hero in the "oh so great" village of his. We all saw how that worked out didn't we. When I was in your mind, I messed around with it, pushing yokai into your brain, trying to make it rot so I can escape again, but, as you can see, it had the opposite effect. Since you were the first yokai-induced human, your brain cells actually benefit from the induction, and you became smarter, and have a higher ability to process thoughts faster than other humans." Kyuubi said.

That would explain many things about the past, but…, Naruto thought, "So what is your motive for 'trying' to help me out?"

Kyuubi laughed a deep laughter and responded, "I thought you would have forgotten about that, but no matter. Ninjas these days, they were nothing compared to the ninjas in the past. Jutsu? Too many limitations upon the human mind. Jutsus were created so that weaker people can learn them. Back in the days, the Shodaime did not have any jutsus, all he had was pure mastery over his elements to make trees grow, and now, all you ningens defile his teachings by putting limitations upon making boulders and throwing gravel around. Before ninjas, Jinchurikis were made as a way to seal up bad demons in the demon days, where you can see tons of us roaming the earth. Minor jinchurikis did not need a human sacrifice mind you, so the Yondaime had no way of living. Over time, the 'bad' demons got bored, so they trained their jinchuriki to manipulate the elements. And this was where ninjas came in. But back to the story. In the past, there were matches to compare the strength of one jinchuriki against another, so even then, the sealed demons had a way to gamble, back then, it was their lives. Because if the jinchuriki lost, then the demon would die. But if the jinchuriki won, then he gains more power. When jinchuriki dies, their demon dies with them, so power is released into the environment, usually as a massive explosion. Back then, weaker demons did this to get themselves stronger at the risk of their own lives, and this was how I came to be. I was once a weak demon sealed within a container. I gave him something that no other demons had, which I will now give you, but in exchange for the ability to feel the world around me. It gets rather cramped in here and lonely when there is nothing to do but be stuck inside a cage all day. I slept for too long and I intend to see the world around me once more." Kyuubi finished his long explanation about the past, and left Naruto to wonder. "This offer will only happen once, so think on it and decide. You have one minute to decide. Make it quick." Kyuubi then starts counting down the time in his head.

Naruto's mind was once again in overdrive. He couldn't decide whether to accept or not. Pros: If he accepted this deal then he would probably become strong, stronger than most people, and learn the ways of the forgotten arts of demons and manipulations. Cons: If Kyuubi tricks him into doing this, then Kyuubi will have an easier time controlling and manipulating his mind, then be able to escape and use his body for Kyuubi's purposes. But… if he ask for, "An oath."

"What ningen? You don't think I will honor my promises? Demons are more bound to their words than you humans are. Your promises breaks as easy as your bones do from what I remembered by trying to destroy your village. Demon promises are one of honor and respect. If I don't uphold my promise, I would become Hachibi, and Hachibi would become the new Kyuubi. But I will make an oath to you, this time." Kyuubi said. It was true, but even though promises cannot be broken, and lies cannot be made by demons, there is nothing that says demons cannot bend the truth a little, even if that demon is as sly as a fox.

A piece of paper floated down to Naruto's hand with a knife. Naruto gave it a skim, then reading over the material, cut open his thumb, and imprinted his signature in blood, a blood oath is the most binding oath there is, making sure of no mistakes. That is why summoning contracts have their summoners bind their name in blood instead of in ink. The page then flew up and overlapped the paper with the kanji "seal" on it, and under seal, there was a new kanji "trust".

"Alright ning… no, Naruto, now that we are bound by blood, the least I can do is call you by your true name, or I'll call you kit too, whatever satisfies me. Now get out of my mind and let me rest. Tomorrow, we start our training." Kyuubi said, then closed his eyes and retreated to his cage.

Flashback End

And that ordeal brings us to now. Naruto has already mastered the three academy jutsu, not giving a crap about the complaining Kyuubi stating that once he has control over his element (wind), he could create wind clones and make gust starting from a light breeze to tornadoes and hurricanes. Yada yada yada. Naruto saw a new side in Kyuubi, not the annoying one, but the one where Kyuubi-sensei was really Kyuubi-sensei. Considering that he taught a human before, Naruto wasn't and shouldn't be so surprised, but he still was. Oh well.

Alright Kyuu-sensei, what do we do today? Naruto asked over his mental link, the one that was established right after Naruto came out of his mindscape two years ago.

Today is the day we get started with training. I admit, humans did make some useful stuff with jutsu, even if it's just some. Go to "Thee" Forest of Death and I'll show you.

Kyuubi has explained to him that the Forest of Death was there since the beginning of demon history, where demonic yokai would be channeled into the forest everyday to keep the plants big and strong, and the animal that eats the yokai-induced plant would also grow big and strong. Thousands of years ago, the forest was much bigger than it is right now, one leech would be as big as a minor summon, and the forest now was growing normal again without yokai.

"Hai, Hai." Naruto responded out loud, pushed some chakra into his 25 kilogram weights on each arm and each leg, making it 30 each. Don't you think these chakra weights are going to shorten my height?

No. Dumbass. *sigh* Kyuubi said, without an explanation, making Naruto wondered why the author of this crappy fanfiction not having the time to make a good explanation, since no one would care. I'll explain to you sometime later.

Timeskip- at Training Ground 44

Naruto stood at the front entrance of training ground 44, preparing to go in, and went in. Once he got to a secluded hideout, the one that he found a year ago, underground, with artificial sunlight made from seals and trees bigger than the one above, and the only way to know about it was if you were actively looking for it with guidance, and began his descent down to the underground forest, hidden training ground 44, this one, not even the Hokage knows about.

Alright kit, I want you to run three laps around the outskirts of the forest, first lap without chakra, and the second and third lap with chakra. After that, I want you to repeatedly perform the kawarimi no jutsu so you can do it sealless and silent. That should occupy you for a year before you get it silently.

Naruto sighed, being used to this training method for about a month or two now, and started running until his legs dropped from exhaustion. It's about to be a long day.

A/N: Tell me what you think about it. Review

I'll try not to put this one on "hiatus" because I actually like it and this is very different from the ones where they make Naruto all super strong. This one will have a strong Naruto too, but he only uses weak jutsus in combination with other weak jutsus to make a strong one instead of overwhelming the opponent with a strongass attack right away.

Parings are also undecided so let me know what you think. The ones I won't accept for pairings are: Hinata (can't write good NaruHina), Sakura (shes a bitch….) Ino (shes also a bitch), MILFS (hell no), and anyone six years older than him.

(1) Yuugao btw, if you didn't know.
