First story (chapter) published ever, so please don't be too hard on me.
"Speaking" 'Thinking' Jutsu / Seal [ More possible later, will be told if needed ]
Just to let you know, Naruto is very smart in this story. He at least knows what Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and Fuuinjutsu are (the definition), and therefore he knows what the options of these are.

Act 1 : "It's not fair!"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
To become Hokage, to become the leader of the Hidden Village in the Leaves, of Konohagakure no Sato.
Ít was his dream. A very big dream, but he had still wanted to fulfill it. Not for the villagers, no. They didn't deserve him as the hokage. No, he'd wanted to do it for the current Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, his grandfather-figure. The old man's face always seemed to lit up when he said he wanted to become Hokage, so he'd made his dream out of it.
A stupid dream, he found out later. On the age of four, he was once again beaten, though it was just a little beating. He had gone to the Hokage's office to get some emotional help from the old man. When he was approaching the door, the shouting of some men could be heard. Naruto had heard them before; they were from the Council, the Villagers Council. There seemed to be a pretty bad argument.
"You can't do that!" Sarutobi screamed.
"Oh yes we can.", One of the council members said. "From now on it's forbidden for you to help the demon brat in any way."
Demon brat, one of the most used names on him. When he was younger, he had sometimes said "My name is Naruto, not 'demon-brat'!", but he soon found out it wasn't a good idea to say so. Every time he did, some mob would start to form and nearly beat him to dead. Bad idea indeed…
"But why!?", Sarutobi asked, anger easily recognizable in his voice.
"You helped him way too much! A demon like him should just die. You're also acting kinder to the brat than you're acting towards others. Such a thing can't be tolerated in a shinobi-village." After hearing this Naruto had nearly snorted in disgust, but he could just stop himself, in favor of not being exposed. 'As if the way they're acting towards me is fair.' But oh well, what could he do against it? If he said something about it, they would probably say something like "A demon doesn't deserve fair treatment."
He had left after hearing the Council's last sentence, having a lot to think about. What could he do now? He had wanted to help the old man, but his suspicion was just confirmed: He would never be allowed to become Hokage. If they threatened to remove Sarutobi's rank if Sartuobi continued to socialize with him, then that meant that it would be totally impossible for himself to become Hokage. He had needed a new goal and had actually taken a year to think of what to do then. Seems pretty long, but hey, he was young. You wouldn't really expect a 4 year old child to choose his live-goal too. But Naruto wanted to do it now, so he decided that he would choose it before he became five, so that, if he wanted to become a ninja, he would have enough time to prepare himself.
And he had just become five years old two days ago and he made his decision. The best he could do right now was to at least become a ninja. As a ninja he could see more of the world and the old man wouldn't have a suspicion about Naruto giving up on his dream. Now that he thought of it, the impossible dream of becoming Hokage would actually be a pretty good mask; he could hide his ability behind the mask of some stupid loudmouth. Yeah, this was probably the best idea. During his time as a ninja he would have time to think about a real dream, as becoming a ninja couldn't really be considered as a dream.
Last night, he created a training agenda and he decided which skill he should probably learn first. Skill wasn't really the right word though; it was just a jutsu, the Henge. The reason for this was more a practical one. He wanted to train now, but to train he needed, or a teacher, or books and scrolls where he could learn from.
But, with the way everyone always glared at him and abused him, he didn't really expect someone to be willing to teach him and you can add up the fact that he was only five years old and nobody would probably want to teach such a young child too. So, teacher was out of the question for now. The other option was books and scrolls. Some of them could be found in the villagers library, while the biggest part of them where in the Shinobi library. Both libraries probably wouldn't let him in, so that's where the Henge came in view. Using it, he would be able to transform into several random people, so he could at least get into the villagers library. The shinobi scrolls and books of this library only contained chakra control to the level of genin, the beginnings of Ninjutsu, Taijutsu and Genjutsu, and some Fuuinjutsu, though these where only some theory and the Storage seal. If he could learn some of the Genjutsu, he could maybe use several Genjutsu-layers to hide his Henge, so he would be able to get into the shinobi library too. Granted, the librarian was a shinobi, but he probably wouldn't pay enough attention to notice the Genjutsu layers.
The problem was, he first needed to get into the villagers library to get the Henge scroll and that's where he was currently.

Several years of training in stealth to hide from the villagers made Naruto a lot better in stealth than most of his age. Therefore, walking in the more crowded streets of Konoha was possible, though he couldn't help but feel extremely nervous. If it wasn't necessary, he would rather just stay home. But well, he wouldn't be able to learn very much at home, apart from Taijutsu, and that would still be in very bad forms. Luckily, no one noticed him and several minutes later he arrived at the library. The librarian was a woman in here late thirties. She wore a red dress which made it pretty obvious that the woman thought she was better than most villagers. But these things didn't really got Naruto's attention, no… It was her HORRIBLE PINK hair. How could someone possibly dare to walk on the street with such a color?! If someone with such hair EVER tried to become a ninja, it would be a VERY bad choice to not change the color.
Granted, his choice of clothing color to keep up the 'dumb' mask, orange, wasn't really a good idea for a ninja too. But hey, that was only temporary, he had chosen graduation day as the best time to loosen the first stitch of his well braided masking personality. He would become more of his true self.
The women didn't seem to pay very much attention at the door, so he easily sneaked past her and walked over to the shinobi section. Bad luck, in the cooking section were some of his 'fan-club' and they just loved to run after him. They were just a little more aggressive than most fan-girls… Okay, Naruto was scared now, he needed to finish fast otherwise they would notice him. Now that he thought of it, if they didn't allow him in the library, it would be a very bad idea to try to lend a book. From what he could see, the people without a pass just read the books in the library or copied them.
There were empty scrolls and writing utensils in the back, so he chooses to copy them. After all, you can't really expect a 5 years old child to immediately memorize everything he read.
But before he could copy, he would first need to take a look at the scrolls. While looking through the shelves, he immediately became excited. It actually took all of his control to not just run around through the shelves, but now he thought about it, it wasn't allowed anyways. 'I should probably start selecting scrolls. If I take too long doing, I could easily get into trouble.'
He came to the conclusion that scrolls on Taijutsu, Chakra control and the Academy's basic Ninjutsu's would be the first things to learn. In 15 minutes, he had gathered several scrolls with stuff he wanted to learn. After taking an empty scroll and a pencil, Naruto started to copy.
'Damn, this is going way too slow! If I don't hurry up now they will notice me!' Naruto thought, while getting worried. As he looked up, he could see another man copying scrolls too. He seemed in a hurry as well and had already prepared several other empty-scrolls for when he was done. Naruto, thinking in a child-like way, too took some extra empty-scrolls, but also an extra pencil, placed two of them next to each other and started to copy two scrolls at the same time. He was reading the scrolls using only one eye each and also writing each scroll using one hand each. In this way, he was done copying them fast.
While bringing the original scrolls back to the shaves, he noticed a dusty scroll laying beneath one of the shaves. After taking it, he moved to one of the chairs to read it. It seemed that it hadn't been read in a long time. Naruto found it kind of interesting and, considering it hadn't had a library seal, someone probably left it here.
'I suppose I could take it with me. It doesn't have the library seal after all. Let's see… N. M., who is that? Doesn't really give much info huh?' Naruto started to globally read the scroll and found out it contained some stuff which he didn't really understand, theories about chakra and also about three seals. The three seals in question where the 'Omori' (Weight seal), the 'Horuda no Chakra' (Holder of chakra) and the 'Gentei' (Restriction seal). The description said that they all helped a lot with the training of your body and your chakra capacity, though the author noted that he only created the 'Gentei', the 'Omori' and the 'Horuda no Chakra' were created by someone else, who wasn't said. As Naruto was indeed going to train, he took the scroll with him. 'This one is going to be of good use! I should hide it well, as it has a lot of useful stuff, if what I just read was any indicator for the rest of the scroll…' Putting his copied scrolls and the dusty scroll in his backpack, Naruto quickly and quietly sneaked away, out of the library.

"Kukuku… I've finally completed it!", Orochimaru said, while laughing manically.
It kind of unnerved Kabuto, Orochimaru laughing like that never meant something good. 'Why can't he just search for a hobby, instead of trying to learn all jutsu, becoming immortal, get the sharingan… Why, why, why?!!? I mean if he just choose something like riding a horse… Awh that sounded disgusting. Nevermind, he would rather ride young boys.', he thought, but of course, he didn't say it. If he did, it would mean that he would be killed and he didn't want to take the risk. Who would say his own master was a pedophile after all?
"What have you completed, Orochimaru-sama?, Kabuto asked, trying to stay as polite as possible, to not show his thoughts on his face.
"You know about Pein with his clones which he controls? Well I just did the final touch to a modified 'Curse Seal', this one makes me able to perfectly control the users of this seal, so I have clones just like Pein. Kukukuku!", Orochimaru laughed, even more manically than before.
"So what are you going to do now?", Kabuto asked.
"Well, I first need to create a plan, but I think the operation will start during the chunin exams which are being held in 7 years. KONOHA WILL FEEL MY WRATH FIRST!", Orochimaru screamed and started to laugh in a evil way, before he interrupted himself with a coughing fit.
Kabuto sweatdrops and walks to him with a tissue. 'So much for the evil laugh of an S-class missing nin…'

Naruto was lying in his bed, barely covered by the blankets, because they were cut to tiny little pieces. Today was a new beginning for him. He finally started with his training, though he only read the scrolls about Taijutsu and chakra control. Tomorrow morning he was going to read the scroll written by that person called 'M.N.', whoever he/she may be.
As he went over everything that happened today, he couldn't help but wonder about what happened in the library, or specifically, what the other man in the library did. The man was hasty, just as he was, so why didn't he copy two scrolls at the same time? Wouldn't it go much faster it he'd done that?
Now that he thought of it, he had never seen someone else copy scrolls in such a way. I he recalled how it went, he came to the conclusion that his eyes both focused on a different point. As far as he remembered he'd never seen anyone else do such a thing. Maybe it would be a good idea to study about the human body soon too; it could help with this problem and also help for his accuracy. It helps to be able to take out an enemy by a simple puss on a pressure-point after all.
But his thoughts were brought back to the thing which happened at the library. 'What exactly was that? Is it possible for a normal human body to do such a thing?' and while caressing these thoughts, Naruto slowly drifted off to sleep, to his well deserved rest.

Well, that's done. I hope you liked it. Please help me improving my writing by giving substantiated criticism. Positive reviews are of course welcomed too! It would help build my confidence. Flames are allowed, as long as they are substantiated (Though I would rather don't have flames).
If you see any faults at grammar or something like that, please tell me! There're probably a lot, considering I am not very good in English.
Well, see you later!
