Prologue: Nations at war
For decades war had waged between the Light and the Dark nations. Each nation was ruled by three major powers. The Dark Nation controlled half of the map and consisted of the Kuroi Empire, the Takai Empire, and the Zujou Empire each of which are strong and seek to satisfy themselves through selfish and cruel means. It was and still is their dream to rule over all the nations with an iron fist and to eventually gain complete control to shape the world to their liking.
Fighting against them was the Light nation, controlling the other half of the map. The controlling powers of this nation included the powerful Chouwa Empire, the Harmonian Empire, and the Doragon Empire. They fought to overcome the strict demands of the Dark nation, and establish a compromise that would allow all the lands to live in peace and contentment.
Finally, with two men, Kazama Tenchi, leader of the Harmonian empire and Etowa Dosei, leader of the Takai Empire, a peace settlement that would end the age old war was brought up. They suggested that their grandchildren marry to unite the two nations, since both of them were from the strongest of warrior clans, as well as the most prosperous of the empires. The agreement was made and an age of peace began.
Even though an agreement was made, hostility still existed but for forty years the fighting ceased. However, on the fortieth year of the prolonged peace, a demon attacked the Harmonian Empire. The nine tailed fox demon, Kyuubi, brought total destruction upon the prosperous and peaceful kingdom. Many believed that that the Dark nation had summoned the beast in attempts to prove their power and gain control. The grandson of Tenchi, Arashi, however did not believe this to be true. He had faith in his wife and her nation to uphold the treaty; after all they were too stubborn and proud of people to be the first to beak such a treaty.
Being of an advanced warrior's clan Arashi was able to seal the demon named Kyuubi into his newborn son. Due to the level of sealing, a sacrifice as well as a container was required, and having no other options Arashi gave his own life to complete the ritual. Struck with grief and loneliness his wife became sickly and weak. She refused to look upon her child who inherited her husband's breathtaking blue eyes and refused anyone to touch him. Soon she died and she and her husband's death were blamed on the child.
With the Harmonian Empire nearly destroyed and suffering and the Takai Emprie grieving over the humiliation and sorrow of their loss the child was abandoned in fear, sorrow and hatred. He was blamed for his parents' deaths and their suffering not only because of the demon inside of him but as proof of a failed attempt at everlasting peace. Hostility once again arouse between the two nations and as the only heir to the most powerful empires of both nations, the treaty's result was considered a forbidden child. People refused to acknowledge him as the result of what happiness can bring when the nations are on good terms, but as a reminder of their destroyed happiness. The last heir to the Kazama and Etowa clans was denied his heritage before he could even speak.
With his mother dead and no acknowledged relatives the boy was kept in his parents' old home, subjugated to isolation and lonely nights, with people he never saw providing him with enough to survive.
In fear of the hostility and the probability of lineage rights and claiming the boy as part of one nation or the other and in turn another war resulting from it, the empire leaders did what they could to prolong the cease-fire. A result a mutual law was passed throughout both nations that declared silence on the matter of who the boy was and the fact that he even existed. This process however took many years to finalize and to agree upon and by the time the law was passed the boy had turned six. It was the only thing they could do to ensure his safety from assassins and the Dark empires who desired power.
After the law was passed, the boy was finally given a name, the name his parents decided before their untimely death in hopes to start a new clan…Uzumaki Naruto.
It was when he had turned six that a man came to his locked and guarded room and for the first time called him by his name. The man had taken him back to his home village, a peaceful little village called Rashens located on neutral territory. It was hidden by the forest and mountains, but was prosperous for its sea port and often received many visitors from the most respected of leaders and warriors, to those doing business or on vacation. Here Naruto was to truly begin his life.
