Cold Prodigy.
(A.N. A little known fact that if you follow Kushina's family back far enough you find she is the great great great great daughter of Indra Ototsuki thus making Naruto a descendant of the Uchiha as well as the Uzumaki.)
The hidden leaf village famous for the fourth hokage who sealed the nine tailed demon fox within two of his three triplets and decimated the armies of iwa in the 3rd shinobi world war
That faithful night was Minato Namikaze greatest triumph yet greatest mistake. Sealing the Ying chakra into second oldest and daughter Nerumi Uzumaki Namikaze and the Yang chakra into his youngest daughter Tsuki Uzumaki Namikaze, leaving his eldest and only son a normal child his name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze the child who will change the world the true child of prophecy.
5 years later after the sealing
The Namikaze house hold not the most typical of families, well that is for one of the three children. He is loved by his mother and younger sister Nerumi but scorned by his father and youngest sister Tsuki who treats him indifferently or just ignores his existence completely.
Over the five years after the five years after the sealing the girls have been dubbed the guardians of the leaf while he Naruto was left in the shadows known as the fourths son or the brother of the guardians or the worst one that is only heard in whispers the rejected son. All Naruto wanted to know was why he wasn't called by his name.
It wasn't until the age of three that Naruto spoke to someone about the names he is called. That faithful day came after the triplets third birthday when Naruto broached the subject with his mother Kushina who was in the Kitchen talking with some friends namely Mikoto, Tsunade and her apprentice Shizune. He couldn't help but smile at the memory.
Flashback 11th Oct day after birthday.
It was a quiet day in the Namikaze compound the hokage was in the office and Nerumi and Tsuki playing outside and Kushina was in the kitchen catching up with her friends Mikoto, Tsunade and Shizune. While Naruto slept in after staying up late the day before thinking on what people called him and why his father treated him coldly. Waking up a little after nine o'clock Naruto went to his mother going to ask her a question why did his father hate him and why did the Villagers call him horrible names.
Walking slowly into the Kitchen Naruto notices his mother but not the presence of the other three women who are behind the counter. Quietly calling out and tugging lightly on her skirt "Kaa-chan, can I ask you a question"
Kushina who was enjoying her morning with friends didn't notice her eldest walk up behind her until he tugged on her skirt and called out to her in a soft tone. Holding up her hand to her friends to tell them she will only be a minute turns around and bends down to pick Naruto up and sitting him on the counter top while asking him what's wrong.
While sitting on the counter facing his mum he decides to ask her "Kaa-Chan d-d-d-do y-yo-you love me." In the same soft angelic voice he has always possessed. Kushina who is completely shocked by the question as is the other women in the room she does the one thing a good mother would engulfs him in a huge hug "of course I love my son, why would you even ask a silly question like that" replies Kushina in an equally melodic soft tone as Naruto. Returning the hug the his fellow red headed mother is giving him he sighs happily and tells her how his father treats him like he doesn't exist and him always acting cold towards him when she wasn't around.
At this point Kushina can't do anything other than console her distraught three year old (A.N. she knows he isn't lying I mean how many 3 year olds can tell a lie)at this point Kushina reigning in all her anger and supressing the urge to kill Minato while all the other women still yet to be noticed are all grinding their teeth together at how their exulted Hokage treats his own son. The thought running through Kushinas' head 'Minato how could you favouring your daughters over your son. We, no you have failed as a parent.' The other females at this point are thinking much more volatile things and in Tsunades case thinking on different ways to torture him.
Naruto at this point is just relived that his mother loves him still. Looking up at his mother he can tell she is not happy, but he knows if things need to get better he needs to tell her about the names the villagers have given him when he has walked through the village.
"Kaa" he says barely above a whisper. "When I walk through the village all the adults they see Nerumi-Chan and Tsuki as them or they heap praises upon them and then… then they notice me and their eyes and emotions change I can feel their meanness coming for me and I feel so afraid then they start calling me bad names like R-r-r-rej-rej-rejected I think that's how they say it son of the fourth or other mean names like that and I don't like it, I mean my names Naruto, NARUTO UZUMAKI NAMIKAZE DATTEBANE." His little outburst at the end causes everyone to giggle but at the same time inwardly scowl at how foolish the villagers are.
Naruto turning round at the sudden noise behind him waves and chuckles sheepishly the only way a three year old can. Quickly apologises. Kushina at this point asks if Naruto wants to stay or go play with his sisters out back decides to stay and sit between his God mother Mikoto and Aunty Shizune while Tsunade is sitting in the arm chair and Kushina walks in with a tray of tea and sits down across from Naruto and gives him her foxy grin.
Meanwhile on the other side of the kitchen door Nerumi heard everything and runs to her room quietly and makes a promise to always be there for her brother.
Flashback end
6th birthday in the morning.
Naruto like any other 6 year old was ecstatic for his birthday, along with his sisters they had all woken up early and Kushina made them all a wonderful breakfast. But this unfortunately is as far as his good mood and day is probably going to go. His so called father got the day off to spend some time with them meaning his sisters.
thinking about it he noticed ever since there 3rd birthday party his sister Nerumi had been getting closer to him and he was really happy for that, they were dam near inseparable when they were at home or playing. But in the village it was still the same story as three years ago the same names and looks. But by looking at Nerumi he could tell by the way she smiled it never quiet reached her eyes anymore and he could also see an underline of anger. When he called her up on it, that was when they promised to be there for each other no matter what, she told him how she was angry at the villagers for what they call him and how they look at him and angry at how their own father for how he treated him at home.
Other than his father having the day off his mum had to run some errands in the village and wouldn't be home until mid-afternoon. She was the only person that was able to keep his 'father' in check around him. The morning for Naruto was pretty normal accept for the odd glare or muttered comment under his breath from Minato when he came into view. Not knowing what else to do went to his room to prepare for the party that night. Sometime during the morning Nerumi came to his room and they were board so played a game of Shogi with Naruto winning making it 10 wins for him and 2 wins for Nerumi.
About an hour later Minato called for Tsuki and Nerumi to come down so he could talk to them. About 5 minutes later "DAD YOU CANT JUST LEAVE BIG BROTHER LIKE THIS…" screamed Nerumi gaining Naruto's attention so he walked down stairs to investigate coming upon this particular scene.
Nerumi nearly in tears at what their father was doing to Naruto especially on their birthday, Tsuki standing at the door completely disregarding that their 'father' was willing to leave Naruto behind and whining and telling him to hurry up. Then there was him his so called father standing there without a care in the world just replied calmly "why would I want that sorry excuse for a son to come out in public with us he is nothing but a failure".
Now Naruto knew his father didn't like him but those words stung quiet badly. Now he knew what his father really thought of him he lost all the respect he had in the man. Turning around and walking up to his room again he sat on his bed and felt a slight stinging in the back of his eyes. Ten minutes later Nerumi walked in.
"I decided to stay here with you so we could make some lunch together" she said quietly. "Thank you Nerumi nee-chan" Naruto replied in his usual soft melodic tone, and so the two made and enjoyed their lunch immensely.
3 hours before party Nerumi was getting ready for the party. She was sitting in her room styling her crimson hair, she had a bang covering her left eye and three more bangs two following her jaw line and the other flowing down over her chest the rest of her hair flowed down to mid back and on the top of her head a bun with chop sticks holding it together. 'I hope Nii-chan likes my hair it would be really nice to get his opinion once I put my dress on.'
Next she started to put her dress on that she had chosen for the party it consisted of Naruto's favourite colours pastel swamp green colour with a red and white hemming and floral pattern the dress was simple straps going over both shoulders and the skirt reaching down to her mid-calf. On the bottom left corner to wrapping round up to her right shoulder was a red and white rose motif that made her look and feel extremely pretty. 'Right now I have to put some black eyeliner to make my eyes stand out'. Quietly talking to herself "I am really happy I got Kaa-chan and Nii-chan's purple (amethysts) eye colour." 'Time to show Nii-chan my dress' quickly running out her room down the hall to Naruto's.
Meanwhile Tsuki was doing much the same thing in her room.
Minato was watching t.v in the family room.
Kushina still running errands in town for the party but can't help but mentally hurry herself along 'can't leave Naru-chan and Nerumi-chan alone to long with him he has slowly grown more hostile towards Naruto and cause Nerumi stands up to him he has grown hostile towards her as well how can he have favourites among our children I can't help but think it needs one more push and the family might just completely splinter'. Trying to blink tears back at the same time she was thinking her family is slowly splintering apart what she didn't know was that push could happen sooner than later.
In Naruto's room he was reading a book on the rules of a shinobi and how they should act. Thinking how it would able to stand on equal ground as his father in battle and prove he is not useless as he think. Little did he know that thought would never resurface again in his life? His thoughts were soon interrupted as he felt someone's presences at the quickly followed by a knocking on the door. Quickly saying "come in". His sister Nerumi walked in wearing her dress he could help but stare (don't get any ideas only 6 and he's too young). "Beautiful" causing Nerumi to blush and Naruto too as he only then realised he verbalised his thoughts.
Nerumi becoming shy asked "D-do you really like it, I-I remember that you really like these colours so I chose my dress based on that." Shocked that his sister would do something like that for him told her he sort of did the same with his shirt and shorts his shirt being aqua blue with green strip down the sides and sleeves and the Uzumaki swirl in the middle of the chest. His shorts were just a plain pastel green that went to his knees. Both of them were slightly embarrassed and were blushing up a storm.
Not knowing what else to say Naruto changes the subject "hey Nerumi what'cha think we are going to get as presents." He happily chirped "I don't know Nii-chan I just hope I don't get any sock like last time and well this other present may sound kinda silly…" "What is it you can tell meee" "Well I wish we could all get along as a family you know not just you, me and mum but Dad and Tsuki-chan as well" "I would like for that as well Nee-chan I really do. But I can't father changing he's always been like that, what I don't get is why Tsuki-chan acts like she does towards me it's almost like she doesn't see me at all." He says starting off normally but finishing just above a whisper.
"I do to Nii…" she didn't get to finish her sentence because Tsuki came crashing through the door screaming "NEE-CHAN I NEED YOUR HELP WITH MY HAIR I CAN'T GET IT RIGHT." She said all this while dragging Nerumi out the door. All Nerumi could do was mouth sorry and I try to be right back. To which Naruto mouthed it's okay don't rush.
1 hour before party Naruto and Nerumi are sitting outside on the back patio just idly chatting away to each other. While Tsuki is running around the family room, Kushina in her room getting changed into a red formal kimono and Minato just idly sitting in his arm chair with his vision to the children obscured by the kitchen work top. The quiet is then rudely interrupted but the sound of glass breaking and Tsuki quickly running up to room to hide. So she doesn't get in trouble. Quickly running to the scene of the sound first to arrive is Naruto and Nerumi and a close second is Minato (kushinas upstairs in the shower and didn't hear it) Naruto upon arriving are wondering what happened the ten glasses that fell onto the floor. Minato on the other hand sees his son and makes assumptions as to what happened and starts shouting at Naruto calling him a multitude of names how he can be so stupid and if he is this clumsy might as well give up being a ninja. After about a 5 to 10 minute rant at him. Naruto doesn't say anything and runs to his room crying with Nerumi hot on his heels to comfort him while shooting a six year old death glare at her so called 'father'.
In Naruto's bedroom he's laying facedown crying into his pillow while Nerumi is sitting next to him running her hand through his red spikey locks saying soothing words she heard her mother say when one of them is upset.
After calming down Naruto sniffles "why, why Nerumi-chan why does he always blame me…" "I don't know nii I don't know".
During the party Naruto was with his godmother Mikoto just talking about everyday things and if he was excited to be going to ninja academy in a couple of months. After spending some quality time with her, he then went looking for his aunty Shizune and Grandma Tsunade to talk ask questions and normal six year old questions.
Nerumi was doing much the same as Naruto since they didn't really have any friends cause of their red hair and eye colour the other kids thought they looked weird well in Naruto's case they did the only reason they didn't hang with her was cause she hung out with her brother.
All of a sudden Minato the 4th hokage said he had an announcement to make. With everybody gathered round Naruto and Nerumi standing between his mother and Mikoto with Shizune and Tsunade behind them.
"Clan heads of the hidden leaf allow me to announce the new heir of the Namikaze clan Tsuki Uzumaki-Namikaze"
As the words left his mouth Naruto's whole world shattered 'he's taken away my birth right as the oldest I can't believe it even at a happy moment for me he can still cause me pain, wait does Kaa-chan know…' looks up quickly at Kushina who has a look of shock and anger 'she defiantly didn't know, you know what I have had enough of this I've tried to be nice and not talk back.' Coming out of his inner thoughts he screams out "HEY DICK HEAD FUCK YOU" and then storms out the house running towards the forest to cry.
Only 6 people follow him Nerumi, Tsunade, Shizune, Mikoto, Hiruzen and Kushina right after she chews off Minato's ear off.
(A.N. not going to do the argument as that will take forever to write.)
Quickly running out the house Naruto finds a nice tree to hide behind to deal with the emotional stress he has just endured, while this is happening and unimaginable amount of stinging hits his eyes thus awakening a one tome sharingan in each eye.
When the others reach Naruto Nerumi and Kushina engulf him into an enormous hug saying soothing words to him. Not noticing his active sharingan.
Looking up to see who else came the others all saw his eyes gasping cause of the Sharingan is looking instead of his sparkly purple.
Mikoto's the first to recover "Kushina why does Naruto have the Sharingan…" Kushina hearing those words quickly looks at Naruto's eyes and gasps "it can't be mother always said her grandfather was an Uchiha but never said who and we never thought it possible as the Uzumaki genes are so strong."… So your grandfather was an Uchiha but you don't know who" replies a tired Mikoto. "Yep"
"Okay Naru-chan sweetie you have the Sharingan you know like Itachi so what I want you to do is cut the flow of chakra to your eyes just like we all taught you"
"Okay"
Doing that his eyes turn back to their original purple colour, now thinking with a clear mind he decides to leave the village.
The next day
Mikoto invites Naruto around to her house and gives him the basic run down of how the sharingan works and two scrolls on the basics and what the eyes can do, how to cast genjutsu with his eyes her own personal notes and 3 scrolls on different genjutsu. The scrolls were labelled D-B rank in difficulty. These were all birthday presents since she forgot to give them to the other night.
Going back home to see his sister Tsuki was at Ino's playing, Nerumi was in her room reading a book on the Uzumaki clan and Fuinnjutsu, and in the lounge was his mother, Hiruzen, Shizune and Tsunade as he walked in with all his scrolls his Mother asked what they were so he told them and asked if she could do that cool ninja thingy where they all disappear into one scroll, causing them to laugh at is way of describing sealing scroll.
Saying she would in a minute "Naruto dear everyone here has something they want to give you since they couldn't last night." "Okay Jiji what'cha get me" well Naruto my boy since you unlocked your chakra and know you being an Uzumaki I have gotten you 3 jutsu scrolls non elemental that is they are the Transformation, replacement and shadow clone plus it's variants the shadow kuni, shadow shuriken and shadow senbon, I must warn you don't try the shadow clone until at least ten years old". "Hai thank you Jiji"
He then turns to Shizune and Tsunade who give him a couple of scrolls on the chakra control exercises Academy – Kage, some low level medical jutsu for beginners and a book on herbs and poisens.
"thank you very much for these awesome gifts" he then turns to his mother and she gets on her knees so she is the same height as him "Naruto I know Minato has taken away your heir status but since I hold a seat on the council for the Uzumaki you can be heir to the Uzumaki clan if you wish, that is one of my gifts the other me and Nerumi picked out for you here it is look for yourself" handing over a small box to him.
Opening it he gasps at the charm that is in it, it was a gold choker with an Uzumaki swirl with his initials in it with two mini senbon needles angled at the swirl in a cross shape in with gem stone inlaid with black for his initials.
Not being able to contain himself he throws himself at his mother hugging her afterwards he hugs everyone else Kushina asks "aren't you going to thank your sister" "OF COURSE I am I sense her in her room" he quickly sprints off to hug her and thank her for such a wonderful gift.
Hiruzen pipes up (hahahaha get it…. Oh never mind) "a sensor and the Sharingan when he is older not many will be able to sneak up on him". They all silently agree.
Now a month after his birthday and his planned escape is going to happen that very evening.
His training over the month consisted of spending a week worth of mornings 7-12 am practicing the Jutsu he was given until he was at least proficient at them. In the afternoon be chakra control exercises from 1-4 pm and then 4-7 pm would be genjutsu practice well the theory. On weekends he would practice using his sharingan.
In his free time he would be figuring out the guard rotations and where the patrols would go and it all came down to this day he would say his plan was full proof create one shadow clone have it pretend to sleep in his bed and leave a note to his family telling them what's going on. It was full proof except for the fact he was worrying about 7 people his Mother Kushina, his Sister Nerumi, Godmother Mikoto Uchiha, Aunty Shizune Kato, Grandma Tsunade Senju, Old man 3rd and his surrogate older brother Itachi Uchiha Mikoto's eldest son.
'I really need to do this to prove I am strong if I go and travel and train I will be able to stand against 'father'. But I also don't want to hurt their feelings when I'm gone this could be one of the hardest things to do… no I need to do this to be strong enough to protect them protect all of them. That it's this training trip is so I can become strong enough to protect all those dear to me.'
Meanwhile while Naruto is packing and getting everything ready a pair of red eyes are focused on him already aware of his little escapade. 'How far are going to go with this, and to be leaving tonight of all nights your mother is going to kill you when you return in 6-7 years.' The only reason Itachi knows about this is because of his training and the fact since he is one of the ANBU that guards the Hokage's house with his Sharingan has been able to see all of Naruto's plans forming and has to say he's impressed. The only reason he hasn't told anyone is because if the Hokage can't figure it out then why bother as long as Naruto leaves a note saying what's going on it's fine.
Back to Naruto
Going over his plans one more time now that he's packed it's now currently 5 in the afternoon and is heading downstairs for dinner with his mum and sister Nerumi.
Ever since the incident on their birthday the family has become very divided mainly Minato and Tsuki now inseparable and living in the hokage tower and not leaving unless it's for training purposes. Naruto, Nerumi and Kushina all living in the compound Naruto and Nerumi because they are inseparable and Kushina because she pretty much divorced Minato for what he has done to the family.
As he sat down at the table with his two most precious people he can't help but feel guilty for what he is about to do to them 'I know what I am doing is right and that they will understand my reasons but I can't help but feel guilty they look so happy'. Digging into his mother dinner of salt ramen and assortment of sweet and savoury dango. Eating dinner in relative silence Nerumi interrupts that silence by asking Naruto a question "ne Nii-chan how has training been going I saw walking up some trees the other day and it looked AWSOME."
"Well Nee-chan training is great I am learning lots from the scrolls I was given. I also hope you like the gift I got you and mum." Saying the last part to himself.
Time skip to leaving the leaf village.
"Right Shadow Clone Jutsu" and 'puff' one Naruto appears "alright you know your orders" jumping out the window with a scroll strapped to his back with all his stuff in Naruto starts heading to the front gate to make his escape. Making it all the way past the guards that are changing post and sprinting down the road away from the village to get his adventure/ training started.
Meanwhile
The clone Naruto left got the two gifts and letter out and put them on the bare bed side cabinet in plain sight and then dispelled giving Naruto a 14 hours to get out of fire country or as far away from the leaf as possible.
On the other-side of the village Itachi is finishing his mission of killing the Uchiha elder council, his father half the male Uchiha population Chunin and over. Itachi in his head is thinking 'must hurry up can't give Naruto to much of a head start' quickly running to the exit of the village Itachi picks up Naruto's trail and chases to catch him and help him on his journey.
20 minutes later
Itachi finally catching sight of Naruto jumps down "hello Naruto-kun…" he says in calm manner "ITACHI-NII WHAT ARE YOOOOUUUU DOING HERE…" Naruto screams cause he got scared, continuing on in his calm voice "Lovely night for a stroll in the woods and running away for a training trip ne Naruto." Itachi says with the patent Uchiha smirk finding its way onto his face, Naruto at this point who is looking rather sheepish at being caught red handed "Was I that obvious I was sure no one knew about my escape plan." He says still looking sheepish and rubbing the back of his head. "Remember Naruto nothing escapes these eye" Itachi says causing his sharingan to come to life and still with that infuriating smirk still intact.
Itachi continuing on before Naruto can say anything "well best get a move on before your mother finds that letter you left, I will be helping you train as well. Any question my student." Naruto who at this point has gone wide with what Itachi is saying can only nod dumbly "lead the way… Itachi… sensei" and with that the sharingan duo ran off into the distance to begin their training.
13hrs 40mins later
Screams were heard throughout the village causing civilians and shinobi alike to back away slowly and stay well clear of the Uzumaki compound why you ask well Kushina waking up early making breakfast decided to wake her remaining two children up.
She went to Nerumi first and all was well sitting on the side of the bed gently shaking her and waking her up with soothing words like Nerumi breakfast time it's your favourite after about a minute or two of that Nerumi stirs "gooooood morning kaa-chan" she say mid-stretch getting out of bed and putting her red fluffy dressing gown on follows Kushina out the her bedroom to Naruto's.
Upon entering she notices he's not there thinking he's already gone downstairs for breakfast she's about to leave when she notices how bare everything is and sees a note on his bare bed side cabinet.
Walking over and picking up said note two charms fall out completely identical to the one Naruto wears but with their initials instead. Putting the note down she fastens the one with K.U. around her neck and the one with N.U. around Nerumi's neck re picking up the letter she starts to read it said:
'hey kaa-chan, Nerumi Nee-chan if your reading this I'm probably out of fire country now I'm saying good bye but not forever for I will be back by the Genin exams in 6 years, I am truly sorry for not telling you I figured this way it would be easier and I might feel less guilty than I am now at the moment if I did tell you.
The reason for me leaving is to get stronger to protect you and Nerumi-nee when the time comes, it also gives me the opportunity to see the world and get away from the animosity of the village for a while.
I will be traveling all over to learn different genjutsu, taijutsu and when I learn my affinity some ninjutsu. Don't worry when I return I am going to be asking for those Fuin-jutsu lessons you promised
With the letter I left there were two charms like the one you got me so now I give you one each there to remind you of me and know that I will return to you strong enough to protect my precious people and I plan on making you proud of me in the future dattebane.
Your loving son Naruto Uzumaki
Dropping the letter Kushina falls on too Naruto's bed and starts to cry at the injustice of it all and why, why did her little boy have to do this to her. Wondering what's wrong Nerumi reads the letter and just throws herself at Kushina wanting to be hugged as she can't believe it.
After about 10 minutes of crying Kushina's weeping turns to anger "WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON HIM WHEN HE GETS BACK HE'S GOING TO WISH I NEVER GAVE BIRTH THAT UNGRATEFULL … DATTEBANE" threats kept streaming out of her mouth for another ten minutes or so about half way through Nerumi joined in to but they were just threats they both knew that they would probably hug him to death and call him an idiot.
On the other side of the village in the Uchiha compound Mikoto woke up to something similar just more bloody. At this point Kushina and Nerumi were running to Tsunade and Shizune's apartment to tell them what Naruto did and showed them the letter they were just as upset and livid as Kushina and Nerumi they all went to Mikoto's house at the compound when they got there all they saw was lots of dead all men, quickly acting Kushina brings Nerumi into a hug making sure she doesn't look at the grisly scene of death.
Hurrying to Mikoto's house when they get there they all witness all the Uchiha women and children crowding round waiting till everyone quietens down Mikoto makes an announcement "My fellow Uchiha last night the elder council was killed along with my husband and all the men rank Chunin and above from reports I have gathered from the families we believe the culprit is… my eldest son Itachi… after doing the deed he fled the village… that is all I know." After the announcement everyone went to their homes to mourn the loss of their loved ones.
A couple of minutes later Kushina and the others are talking to Mikoto about what happened once done Kushina shows her Naruto's letter and all she can do is cry into kushina's shoulder.
