I do not own Naruto!

Orochimaru of the Sannin had left the village 5 years after the Kyubi attacked. When he left, he had kidnapped the Kyubi Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Naruto. Sarutobi, the third Hokage, had searched high and low for the boy, yet he could not find him. He sent his best tracking teams, and had his monkey summons out searching. But after 7 years, he gave up hope ever getting the boy back.

Orochimaru had spent the last 7 years torturing in experimenting on Naruto. He would increase his pain tolerance before slicing into his body, making his pain tolerance go through the roof. He also forced dozens of different elemental affinities into him, those like Hyoton, Shoton, Yoton, Jiton, the Shikotsumyaku, Jinton, Mokuton, the Iburi Clan's Kekkei Genkai, and Futton. He also had him trained in every school of jutsu, personally.

Naruto at age 12 stood 5'6', tall for his age, with long spiky red hair that reached his mid back with his bangs covering his right eye, his once bright blue eyes that were filled with humor and innocence were gone and were replaced with dark blue eyes that seemed to hold an untold amount of hate and rage. He wore no shirt, showing off every single scar he was given by Orochimaru's 'testing', and black anbu pants with a katana attached to his side.

He needed no kunai pouch as he had mastered the Yin-Yang release to such a level, he can created what he needed out of nothing. He, unknown to Orochimaru or those who watch him, had placed gravity seals all over his body, increasing his speed so that he may prepare for the day he escaped and stood a chance against Orochimaru. To Orochimaru he thought he had Naruto controlled with a Seal, but thanks to the Kyubi, any seal placed on him would burn away.

Naruto and the Kyubi had become close in the early years of the experimentation, the Kyubi helping to ease the pain of each 'session' by drawing him into the seal. The Kyubi had never felt such rage at a single being in all his life, not even close to how much he hated Uchiha Madara. He cherished children seeing as his own were killed before his eyes and so when he had to watch as his container was tortured, it drove him mad with rage. The Kyubi had begun to teach Naruto in his mindscape, telling him about the outside world, as the child had forgotten what it was like to have the sun shining down on his face, and forgotten what the moon looked like.

He taught him Fuinjutsu and he quickly noticed that Naruto took to like it fish did to water and in the 7 years he became level 10 or 12, higher than his own father and the self proclaimed Super Pervert.

Naruto was told who his parents were that his mother was being drugged to stay in a coma thanks to Shimura Danzo, to use as incentive for Naruto to obey him if he ever returned to Konoha. He hated his father greatly, despising how he had sealed Kyubi into his own son, thinking the village would think of him as a Hero, when he heard they celebrated him being kidnapped and hoped that he died.

Naruto clenched his fist, laying his head back against wall, the only sound in the cell he was in was the slow dripping of water. He closed his eyes and let his senses reach out, searching who was around him and in the base. He noticed Orochimaru was gone, and that only one person was watching him. He also sensed the two people who he grown to care for also in the underground base and marked their positions in his mind.

He slowly stood and began to write in the air, before the door, and on the door, the Kanji for Explosion appeared. He moved to the back of the cell and watched as the door exploded and the guard quickly entering his cell. Naruto threw his hand forward and a kunai materialized and shot forward with the momentum of his hand, the Kunai lodging in the guard's throat, killing him slowly. He quickly took off at Jounin speeds and went to the first person he had came to care for, Tayuya. She had a special ability to control Demons with her flute.

The two had met when one day when Naruto was free to walk around he found her being experimented on by some of Orochimaru's men. When he saw her being put through what he was, he lost control and the next thing the scientists noticed, they were covered in bone spikes, killing them instantly. When Orochimaru got word of what happened, he knew he had something knew to control Naruto with should he disobey him. Ever since then, Orochimaru had marked her with his cursed seal and kept her on a short leash, only rarely able to visit Naruto.

Naruto smirked when he saw her cleaning her flutes. He stepped in and cleared his throat, catching her attention. It took only seconds before she launched herself at him, wrapping her arms around him, hugging him tightly, calling out, "Naruto-sama!"

Naruto chuckled deep in his throat and patted her back. He had curbstomped her cursing, making her more level headed. To him, she was someone precious, but to her, he was her King. The only reason to her existence.

Naruto stepped back and spoke softly, "We are leaving Tayu-hime. Before we leave, show me your cursed seal."

Tayuya smiled brightly, hearing this and quickly did as he asked. Naruto began to write in the air with his finger glowing with silver chakra, and then drew a circled with his chakra covered finger around the cursed seal. Tayuya let out a scream of pain as she clutched her shoulder, falling to her knees. Naruto knelt and lifted her chin, seeing the tear stains going down her cheek from the pain. He saw her clutching her shoulder and slowly pulled her hand away before holding his hand up, a mirror appearing in his hand and she gasped in shock and happiness as she saw the very seal that made her life hell, gone.

He patted her back and minutes later he stepped back and told her to gather her things. Moments later the two were heading to one of the cells that held the boy they were searching for. Jugo was a boy that the two met when Orochimaru was experimenting on him to get the secrets to his Kekkei Genkai. They had grown close, and just like Tayuya, Jubi thought the world of Naruto. Naruto was the only one able to keep Jugo under control when he lost control of himself. He took on the duty to be Naruto's Shield should he ever need him.

Jugo was shocked by happy when he saw the person he saw as his King, Naruto, standing in the doorway to the crushed door, thanks to Naruto's use of the Jiton (Magnet Release). He rushed forward and wrapped his arms around Naruto and asked, "Are we leaving Naruto-sama?"

Naruto smiled down at the younger boy and nodded (Jugo will be 9 in this, Tayuya will be 14, yet she is shorter than Naruto). Naruto chuckled, running a hand through Jugo's short orange hair and smirked as he pouted. "Yes we are leaving Jugo. It is time to leave."

Jugo jumped up and down like a child and climbed onto Naruto's shoulders, seeing as he had no training so he was to slow to keep up. Naruto smiled softly, happy that atleast one of the three of them was able to keep his childness. He vowed to himself that he would protect the two with him with everything he had and if he had to, he would sacrifice himself to see the two unharmed. He saw Tayuya was slowing down, getting tired from the continuous speed of high chunin. He made a single hand sign and an shadow clone appeared and picked up Tayuya bridal style, causing her to blush dark red at being this close to him, feeling the hard muscles that 11 year old had pressed against her.

Naruto nodded to his clone and they both increased their speeds, going up to jounin speeds, appearing as only blurs to any who could see them. They burst through the doors that lead to the outside and froze when they saw the brightness of the sky for the first time in ages. Naruto looked up into the sky, letting a single tear fall down his cheek as he closed his eyes, letting the wind blow against him.

Naruto heard sirens going off in the base and knew they had to escape and fast before Orochimaru came back. They took off in a random direction at high jounin speeds, hopping tree to tree, putting a lot of distance between them and the underground base. After traveling for over 8 hours, they finally picked a spot near a river and made camp. Naruto spent time catching fish and a local boar, while Tayuya went and gathered wood. They spent the night staring at the stars, feasting on the food Naruto had caught. Naruto stayed up the entire night, staring at the moon. He felt something there, yet he couldn't tell what it was. When he looked at the moon, he felt filled with a feeling of warmth.

For the next few months, they traveled around, training and helping those they came across. For once in all their lives, they were happy. Naruto smiled seeing as Jugo was slowly being able to control his power of Nature chakra, and as Tayuya increased her control over her Oni summons. He had trained both into the ground, making sure they are able to protect themselves, while also training himself. Every few days he would release his seals and get his body used to the increase in speed before upping the seals more.

He was to a point where the Kyubi has to continuously pump chakra into his system to heal him when he ups the levels of the seals as his muscles would tear and rebuild until they were strengthened to withstand the gravity of the seals. As the Kyubi pumped chakra into his system, he also forced Naruto's extensive chakra network to get even larger, his reserves now close to the two tailed Biju's amount.

When Orochimaru had experimented on him, he noticed that every time he had his 'sessions' with Naruto, the Kyubi had added extra chakra to his networks, making them grow, so he had devised a seal that would continuously pump chakra from several donors in order to make his reserves go to new heights. Orochimaru's thoughts while he did this were, "If i am going to use the Jinchuuriki's body as a replacement sometime, might as well make it so i can use as many jutsu's as i want or need."

Naruto walked through the streets of Wave, a frown marring his face seeing the poor conditions the village was in. He watched as children were forced to steal for food. He watched as one child was beat for stealing a loaf of bread, and watched as he took the pain without a single sound escaping. He watched as he ran to a group of 5 year olds that wore dirty and messed up clothes and tore it into pieces, he himself not eating any. Naruto smiled softly and approached them, hands in his pockets, getting disgusted looks as people looked on his scarred torso and back.

He knelt in front of the group of children and held both hands out and out of nothing, bread appeared in his hands. He handed out the two loaves and created more, and watched with a small smile as the children cheered, getting more food than they had ever had from him. He saw people walking by, or others who were living on the streets were smiling at what he did for the children. He looked to the boy, who was 9, who helped the others out and created a loaf for him as well and watched as he made sure the others had some before digging in himself. Naruto stood up and glanced around with narrowed eyes.

He hated seeing people living in these conditions. He hated seeing children suffering. He may only be 12 years old, but he was more mature than even most adults. He never had an happy childhood, and never wanted anyone to live the life he had. He vowed to himself to help this Nation even if it was the last thing he did. He walked through the village, his hand resting on the black guard of his katana, scoping out the village.

He, with Tayuya and Jugo beside him left the village, setting up a camp near the uncompleted bridge. He watched as an old man left the bridge, heading farther away from Wave and wondered what he was doing but shrugged it off. He spent time training Tayuya and teaching Jugo things he needed to know and helping him control his Kekkei Genkai, calming him when he needed to with his aura. He had found his Aura gave off such a peaceful aura that it kept Jugo in control and when he lost control, it calmed him quickly.

It was a week later when he leaned against a tree, watching Jugo and Tayuya sleep. He smiled softly before his eyes narrowed. He felt 5 chakra signatures surrounding him, three of them were very low leveled, with the two being high, meaning he was surrounded by at least 2 Jounins and 3 Genins. He looked above him, seeing a purple haired female with skimpy clothes on, looking ready to drive a kunai into his skull, but froze when she saw she was caught.

Naruto shook his head and two clones appeared out of nowhere, grabbing Tayuya and Jugo and disappearing into smoke, taking the two with them to hide. He saw the purple haired lady had joined with the others who now stood in front of him in different stances. Naruto raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why are you here?"

The male Jounin of the group stepped forward with gravity defying silver hair with a mask covering his face except his right eye and his headband covering his left eye. He at once knew who this was, Hatake Kakashi, the Copy Eye Ninja. "We are here to protect the bridge builder. Seeing as you are near the bridge, yet no one knows who you are, we are taking precautions. Who are you?"

Naruto glanced sharply at the purple haired girl and barred his teeth, showing elongated canines as he spoke, "Watch yourself with your snakes lady. If i even see a single snake come from you, i will kill you. No ifs ands or buts."

The purple haired lady glared at him, "What's your problem with my snakes, Gaki?!"

Naruto stood up straighter and Killing Intent (From now on it will be called KI) filled the area, causing the three genin, a duck assed haired boy, a pink haired boy, and a paled skinned boy, faint from the strength of it. Naruto spoke softly, yet you could hear the anger in his voice, "I have nothing against your snakes personally… No. It's snakes in general. You tend to feel that way around snakes when you have been in the care of Orochimaru, being pumped full of all kinds of venoms by snake bites."

Anko paled when he spoke Orochimaru's name before tensing with narrowed eyes, "You know where Orochimaru is?! Tell me!"

Naruto leveled a glare at her, stopping her from moving as his full blunt of his KI was on her and spoke in nothing but a whisper, "I know where he is and every single hiding hole he has. Why should i tell you?"

Anko unconsciously grabbed her neck and Naruto seeing this, let his face soften. "Your name is Mitarashi Anko isn't it?"

Anko nodded and asked, "How do you know my name?"

Naruto chuckled humorlessly, "Orochimaru likes to speak of you every time he had a 'session' with me. Saying how he was disappointed at how you turned out, how he wished you were his favorite before i came along." He stopped and disappeared just as Kakashi had thrown Kunai at him. Next thing Kakashi knew, he was thrown through the air and crashed through multiple trees.

Naruto appeared where Kakashi was, and both of the Jounins only thought of one thing, "I didn't even see him move!"
Naruto shook his head, his hands in his pockets, his foot still in the air from where he kicked Kakashi in the chest, "Here i am trying to speak and you just come along and attack me for no reason."

Kakashi slowly stood up, coughing up a little blood, unable to believe the power behind the kick and spoke, "You are an unknown. We do not know your intentions so that means you are an enemy."

Naruto shook his head and turned back to Anko and asked, "Why is it you keep ahold of the Snake Contract when every time you use it, it reminds you of your former sensei?"

Anko shrugged, "It's something i have always had. The Snakes i have are different than the ones Orochimaru uses, as they dislike the things he does."

Naruto nodded and moved his head slightly to the right as a fist appeared where his head used to be, courteous of Kakashi. He shook his head, hands still in his pockets as he spun, landing a kick to Kakashi's ribs, tossing him into another tree. "Why are you here? Are you here to put a stop to Gato?"

Anko shook her head, "No. We are to protect the bridge builder from Gato and then our mission is over when the bridge is built."

Naruto shook his head sadly, "Seems I'll need to do things on my own."

Anko suddenly noticed he never introduced himself and asked, "What is your name?"

Naruto tilted his head slightly, his once dark blue eyes had changed to a slightly lighter blue, but still held a darkness to them, "Uzumaki Naruto."

Anko narrowed her eyes and appeared in front of Naruto, kunai to his throat and growled, "Do not lie to me! Naruto is dead! He was kidnapped… by… oro…" She froze, never finishing her sentences. Naruto closed his eyes, breathing in her scent and froze as memories of a purple haired snake Anbu masked girl watching over him and holding him at night.

He spoke softly, but the disbelief could be heard, "Hebi-hime…"

Naruto felt a tear slide down his cheek as he looked at Anko, unable to believe she was who used to watch over him, protecting him from the Villagers. He placed his hand softly on her cheek, using his thumb to wipe away the tears that were now streaming down her cheeks and spoke softly, "After all these years, I could never forget your scent. You who protected me from anyone wishing to harm me… You who held me at night when I would have nightmares…"

Naruto let a small smile grace his lips as Anko leaned into his touch. Their moment was ruined as Kakashi appeared with a Chidori, attempting to kill him while saying, "You should have died, Kyubi brat! Now Sensei will be able to rest in peace!"

Naruto's eyes hardened at being called the Kyubi brat. Many scientists had learned not to call him that and before Kakashi could move, he felt his hand being broken, and something stabbing him in his stomach. Naruto stepped away from the shocked Anko and spoke softly down at Kakashi, "I remember you… You were one of those who attempted to kill me. I even remember that jutsu, seeing as it went through my 4 year old chest…" Naruto ran his hand over his torso where a large scar that stretched over his chest, near his heart.

Anko glared at Kakashi but Naruto spoke before she could, "You want to know something funny, Inu? You say your Sensei will be able to rest in peace now, yet how can he if you kill his own son?"

Anko and Kakashi stared at him, and they both quickly changed his hair to Blonde, and removed the whisker marks and Kakashi paled, staring at him in horror.

Anko said softly, "And the villages treated their beloved Fourth Hokage's son like trash, trying to kill him so many times…"

Naruto chuckled softly, "Wonder what they would do if i ever go to Konoha again if they find out."

Anko frowned, "What do you mean IF you go back? You're not coming back?"

Naruto frowned and suddenly froze before facepalming as the memories of his clones came back. It seems Tayuya was tired of waiting so had surprised both clones with a Kunai to the head and was heading here with Jugo. Naruto also noticed the 3 Genin were waking up and suddenly asked, "What's with the three boys? And why does one have hair that looks like a duck's ass?"

Anko laughed loudly, and kakashi was still in shock.

Naruto chuckled and suddenly braced himself as Jugo launched himself at him, wrapping his arms around him tightly. He softly patted his head and looked at Tayuya who had a tick mark on her head.

"Naruto-sama! Why didn't you let us stay? We could have helped you!" Tayuya said, stomping her foot.

Naruto chuckled deep in his throat, the sound causing Anko and Tayuya to blush, "I know you are strong, but I do not know who you would do against Jounin. And as you can see, they are still here."

Anko suddenly spoke up, wanting to know. "Naruto, why won't you come back to Konoha?"

Naruto ran a hand through his hair as Tayuya came to his side and Jugo hid slightly behind him, peeking out from his back slightly. "I…"
