I don't own Naruto, and this is the second time I've written this chapter.

Chapter 1. The beginning

It had been the night of the "attempted" assassination of a member of the Hyuga clan when the most unexpected thing had happened; the Wife of the Clan head had been absorbed of her power immediately following the attempting to kill her, completely killing her.

The entire Hyuga main branch had been devastated, as their powers had only seen through the first assassination, not the second, more lethal one.

See, the Akatuski had been the group that had attacked her, mainly the Puppet user, Sasori. He used an ancient technique of puppetry that extracted the power that was given to the Hyuga clan, and formed it into a ball of energy… however, that very night, another thing was happening in coordination to the death of a Hyuga…

"There's the demon! Kill IT!"

Alas, another attempted killing of Naruto, infamous jailor of the Kyuubi was being hunted by the village, the poor unsuspecting boy had been simply wandering around, when a drunk ANBU had seen him, and immediately gotten, ah, pissed off.

So here we come to our story, consisting (currently) of an ANBU ninja, and roughly 50 civilians, nearly all intoxicated mind, and one, poor little jinchuriki. Oh dear.

"What did I ever do to you guys to deserve this huh?" yells Naruto, crying as he gets surrounded by the group of civilians.

"You were born, demon." Harshly says the ANBU, slurring a bit.

Sasori, whose orders had merely been to simply attack a Hyuga, then retrieve their powers and finally, bestow the Akatuski with the long sought Byakugan, saw this poor boy being attacked. It brought back a flash of memories of when he was a child, the same age as the boy.

Of course, he, being the all-powerful master of puppets had made himself into a puppet, in order to avoid aging like his pitiful grandmother, had dominated death into a single venerable spot, which, unless completely destroyed, would practically bestow immortality on him, quite stronger than that fool Orochimaru.

Anyways, he was watching the boy when he came to elation with his memories of being picked on when younger. Now naturally, people were wary of bullying him as he was the grandson of Chiyo, but Chiyo knew that if she was always protecting Sasori from harm, that when she herself passed away, that he would definitely get hurt.

He had been getting picked on a lot that day, until finally, a big kid by the name of Rion had shoved him to the ground, and stolen his most favorite toy, the miniature sculpture of his Granny Chiyo's puppet, the forbidden 10, who at the time, had just taken down an entire castle.

He had gotten furious, and looking into Naruto's eyes, (he had been hidden with a jutsu) used his chakra strings to pull him to him, whispering "Keep quiet."

Naruto, too scared to even speak, nodded, watching the ANBU and the civilians try to find him.

The ANBU had gotten out of her intoxication now, as she knew there was no way that the demon could've gotten away so very quickly. Sasori knew that if he stayed put that there was no way he would be able to leave, and thus shushined out of konoha into the wilderness.

"W-who are you?" Naruto stuttered when he realized that he had gotten away from the mob.

"My name is Sasori of the Red Sands, boy, and who are you?" Sasori said in a calm voice. The boy hadn't been even the tiniest bit scared of him just of the mob from earlier, and also, Sasori was actually using his favorite disguise puppet, which concealed him.

"I'm Naruto, and I will be the future Hokage!"

"And why do you wish to be Kage?"

"So those stupid Civilians will respect me!"

"Hn…" Sasori was evaluating Naruto, and realized that he was a bit worried for him. He of course, knew that Naruto was the Kyuubi container, and that he, being a part of the Akatuski, would eventually have to fight him. The other reason he was scared for him was because he was good friends with Naruto's dad, Minato, who at the moment, was in disguise in the ANBU ops so the Rock village wouldn't attack, as the Rock Village had, in the past few years, been harboring not one, but two Jinchuriki in full control of their demons.

"Listen Naruto, and listen fast, as I told you, I am Sasori of the Red Sands, I use puppets and I am a ninja. But, you cannot tell anyone this, for you will get in dire trouble if this does happen, and I am your friend right?"

His eyes shone with admiration at the second, he had actually gotten somebody that WANTED to be his friend! "Of course Sasori"

"Okay, Naruto, I will tell you everything you will need to know, but afterwards I will seal all the knowledge I gave you into a scroll so you don't get into trouble okay? Because there are people much worse than those dumb villagers that want to kill you. I am one of them, but I don't want to kill you, can you believe me?"

Naruto's eyes grew bigger, and Sasori noticed his pupils were slitted, a sign of the Kyuubi. "Of course Sasori, besides, if you wanted to kill me, you could've just let the villagers kill me. I think you're nice!"

Sasori grew happy, yet sad, as he knew that it wouldn't be easy for him to explain everything to the boy.

"Okay, let me start with you, you are a Jinchuriki, a container of a demon. Now before you get all teary-eyed, let me explain, you are a container of a demon, not the demon itself, you are kind of like a Jailor, holding the beast at bay. When you grow older, you should actually be able to talk to the demon, and depending on how much you two get along, you might be allowed to directly use the kyuubi's powers, making you stronger. Your father was Minato, an extremely powerful Hokage, eventually you will meet him, as I have in the past, and we have actually made peace, even though I am apart of an organization that would like to kill him.

The night you were born, the most feared of all demons attacked Konoha, and Minato faced it, that was the same night one of my organizations member, Tobi, or I think he may be another ninja named Madara in disguise, fought your father. Your dad not only managed to fight Tobi, but also managed to seal the Demon into a newborn child. You.

He did this out of love, and couldn't do it without me, I managed, under disguise of course, to fight Tobi for a while, before he finally fled out of loss of Chakra, the energy we use to perform ninjutsu."

"The Akatuski is an organization founded by a leader name Pein, and several other strong people from throughout the nations, recently, they sent me to kill a member of the Hyuga Clan, and I was forced to, as now I am nearly controlled by Tobi, who suspects me. I am happy to say that I gave her a swift death, and took the energy given to her, the energy that allowed her to use the Byakugan."

"I will tell you plenty more in this scroll I am going to give you, but you cannot remember this, so I will seal your memories into this scroll, and I will make it so you can open it in time. Also, when you get home, there should be several scrolls on the Byakugan, some key ninjutsu I want you to learn in the future, and finally there will be some scrolls of puppetry, do not dare keep them at your house, rather, give them to Sarutobi and ask him to keep them safe. I trust when I meet you again, you can sever the ties I have to tobi… I will take away select memories of yours so you don't remember me, but they will return in time and kid…"

Naruto looks up, his eyes in shock, young mind unable to comprehend what was going on.

"I once lived your life a long time ago, I never had a kid, although I wish I did. I will always be watching over you, along with your dad. Even though I have only known you so long, I will consider you my stepson or something, just make your father and I proud, and remember this, I will implant a summoning jutsu into your mindscape, when you come very close to death, all the information that is in the scroll we instantly be sucked in, this will be very straining on your body, so don't force it. The summoning jutsu will also summon me and your dad to the scene, good luck kid, I'll talk to you when you become a Chunin."

Naruto's memories disappeared in a flash, and he fell to the ground.

"What the heck just happened… One second I was about to get pounded by civilians then the next…" his eyebrows scrunched, trying to remember.

"Whatever, I probably ought to get home."

Sasori, in the shadows, watched him carefully. "I do hope that the Rock Village isn't smart enough to realize… after all, there is a strong resemblance…

Naruto woke up in his terrible apartment room sleeping in his bed when he woke up. "Man, weirdest dream ever... oh well!"

Naruto went to sleep, content and happy. Outside his window however…

"Sasori, what are you doing here?"

"Hn? What's up Minato?"

"Nothing, just the fact that you were talking to my son already."

"Do you have a problem with that?"

"Sasori, he's so young for this…"

"He is starting in the Ninja Academy soon, and don't even try to pretend that you didn't include the Flying Thunder God technique in one of the later scrolls."

"…"

"See, you even included the Rasengan."

"Fine, but we have to tell Sarutobi about this, otherwise Naruto could be suspicious."

"Yeah, any progress on tracking Kushina?"

Minato knocks Sasori down.

"I told you, to never, EVER talk about her. The woman of my life betrayed me…" Minato said, kneeling, putting his head in his hands.

"Sorry, but I probably should've told Naruto that she betrayed us huh…"

"Yeah, you had better get back to the Akatuski base, don't want 'Tobi' to get suspicious."

"Right, seeya… wait, one moment, Minato-san," Sasori said as an afterthought

"Yeah?"

"I have a question; Tell me again, why you won't help your son?"

Minato sighed, "Unfortunately, my puppet-using friend, Naruto must create his own path, at his own stakes. And also, believe me when I say that I have been protecting him, no ninja has touched him, and won't be for some time. Besides, running from them is rather good for his stamina…"

"Yeah, whatever personally, I still feel like gutting all of those foolish villagers and turning them into my human puppets, but whatever I guess. Later," Sasori said, shun-shining away.

Minato stands up from his kneeling position and puts his hand above his head, a mask appears on his face, a blinding light appears, and he vanishes.

Minato appears again, this time in front of Sarutobi, who already knew he was coming.

"Minato, long time no see, how have you been?"

"Cut the crap Sarutobi, you know why I am here"

"All right, I will play along and tell Naruto I have scrolls for him, but a question If I may…?"

"Yes?"

"Why, just why, did you include such advanced techniques!"

"Advanced?"

"The Flying Thunder God, the Rasengan, and all of its forms! Hell, just to rub it in, you added all 5 variations of the Rasengan when you add Elemental Chakra!"

"Ah, yes that seemed necessary."

"Really, including the Chidori version, the wind-shiriken version, geyser version, Labyrinth and Eruption versions! Were all of them really necessary! He should only have one element!"

"Oh right, thank you for reminding me. I still need to lecture Kakashi-san about using that move… perhaps he could modify it to make no noise? And some way to stop that tunnel-vision… And yes, I believe that when the time comes, he will need each of them, after all, he is as much of a target as I was. I believe I ranked at the top, SS in the Rock Country Bingo book? That the primary order was to flee on sight? That you were seen as dead if you went after me? I believe that in that country, Naruto will achieve triple S and be a liable threat to the Kage himself over there. Oh, and that those that saw him were to be pronounced "dead" if they saw him.

"You really have that much faith in him?"

"Of course, he is my son, if he couldn't do that, then he would be disgracing my name."

"Hn…"

"Sarutobi-sama, just… please, for me, do this. I want my son to grow up strong, after all…" Minato stated, looking at the Third solidly in the eyes. "We both know that Iwa's secret new weapon is strong enough to destroy…"

Read, fav. Review. Productive critisim in appreciated, sorry for any spelling errors, any questions on other stories PM me, and yeah. Oh, and Flames accepted, as long as there's a reason.

You are allowed to change a persons/charcters gender, although you have to run it by me first, and no Yaoi, no offence, but there is just waaay to much out there for me already. Maybe eventual lemon, not til Naruto gets old enough though, and for this story, im making everything realistic, so Naruto cannot be able to match up to like, Kakashi when he just entered The academy okay?

Oh, and i know Sasori's a bit new and off compared to the normal one from Naruto, but whatever, he's just a bit different. And i figured he'd be different if he met Minato.

sorry if there were spelling errors.

I will update once a week
