THE SON OF YELLOW FLASH

CH1: The beginning

Itachi was no ordinary kid; he was an Uchiha and also the heir to the Uchiha clan mantle. His father, Fugaku Uchiha, had high expectations for him. Then there was Naruto, the son of the famed Hokage, Minato Namikaze. He was a troublesome child but was not pampered or spoiled, he who liked to pull pranks and was not allowed to go the academy. Unlike Itachi who was not allowed to enjoy his childhood.

Naruto was only a few days younger than Itachi and one of his best friends. He was first introduced to Itachi because their mothers were best friends also. The people in Konoha practically worshipped the very ground he walked in, and Naruto always hated that. He felt people only respected him because of his father.

With each spar they had, Itachi would be the victor and Naruto grumbling about unfairness that of Itachi going to the academy and learning cool Justus. To which Itachi cringed at when thinking about all the lectures he ever got. Naruto, like him, had unlocked his chakra with the help of Hatake Kakashi, the Anbu who would guard him at times, and was always practicing advanced chakra control which was kept secret from everybody else.

"Naruto," said an Anbu coming out of the shadows whose mask was still unclear. "The Hokage wishes to speak to you about an incident…that took place in the bathhouse." The said blonde tried to make a run for it, but was intercepted by another Anbu. This Anbu's visage could be seen clearly; he was wearing a dog mask and was intimidating. Then he put his hand firmly on Naruto's shoulder.

"You have some explaining to do, Naruto" said the man in wearing the dog mask, his gravity defying silvery hair sparkling in the light of the moon.

"Onni-san, I didn't do anything."Naruto said innocently.

"I am not the one to fall for that," the Anbu said placing Naruto on his back and jumping from one tree to another with the second Anbu following them. The Uchiha boy was left behind and started continuing his training in a vigorous pace.

Naruto and his Anbu escorts reached the Hokage office, where the Anbu opened the door.

"Tou-san!" Naruto exclaimed, jumping off the Anbu and tackling his dad with a hug, making the Hokage fall down. The Hokage returned the hug and pushed himself up.

"Naruto, "he said, "What have I told you about the pranks you cause? This is the third time in this week." Naruto looked down, his eyes not meeting his fathers. "I thought it would be nice to check out the new prank... I am sorry Tou-san, it won't happen again" Naruto said apologetically.

"As long has you understand, it is not a problem." The Hokage said in a kind voice. "But as a punishment: No ramen this week"

"B...but Tou-san" Naruto pleaded. The resolve in Minato's eye did not change. He had an expression that said he will not change his mind.

"Minato-sensei!" said the dog masked Anbu, quickly to change the subject."I think it's better to start training Naruto." the Hokage did not look pleased at the prospect of Naruto training at such a young age; Minato did not want to burden his son. The life of Ninja was always a burden- a pain that will be carried until the very end of one's life.

"Why is that, Kakashi?" Minato asked sternly, making the Anbu sweat slightly under his mask. "Because it wouldn't take long before Iwa or other villages manage to infiltrate Konaha and attack Naruto, he could defend himself until helps arrives," Kakashi explained.

The idea did sound good and Minato did not want Naruto to get hurt. If it wasn't for Kushina, Minato would have let Naruto go to the Academy. Kushina was always opposing him, saying Naruto was still a child and should play with his peers.

Minato looked unconvinced and he looked at the people in front of him; the Anbu had removed his mask revealing himself to be kakashi- a slender young man in his late teens wearing a standard Anbu attire and with a tattoo on his forearm with a lightning saber sheathed on his back. He was standing straight waiting for his orders; Naruto on the other hand had this pleading look that made Minato agree to what Kakashi had just said.

"Please, Tou-san," Naruto begged his father, "Even Itachi -who is my age- is already going to and learning in the academy." That was the same thing Minato had asked Fugaku, but that man wanted his son to learn and rise quickly in the ninja ranks.

'Damn! Uchiha and their pride!' he thought.

The war had ended just a couple of months ago and Minato was initiated as the Hokage, after the Third stepped down. Ever since then, Minato had changed all the old ways. The children could enjoy their childhood since the war was over. He wanted the same thing for Naruto, but being the Hokage's son, he will be most likely targeted.

"Fine. I will discuss it with Kushina-chan," Minato said, making Naruto jump in joy and dance merrily, "But you must also work hard."
Naruto nodded his head and ran out of his father's office, an Anbu following him in the shadows. "Kakashi, it would be very nice of you to tell me the things you did not mention earlier," Minato said coolly.

Kakashi had never heard his sensei speaking in such a manner, it felt eerily like Kushina-san. He wiped the sweat forming on his head unconsciously. "I made him learn to use his sensory skill for finding things, you know- just using only his ears, nose, blindfolded... Also just taught him to hold a blunt kunai…." A small amount of KI made him stop in his track.

"Is that all?"

"Yes, sensei!" Kakashi said hurriedly. He didn't think telling his sensei about Naruto unlocking his chakra was a good thing. After all it was a promise he and Naruto made not to tell anyone.

"I will excuse you this once. The next time I will punish you with only D rank missions." Minato said angrily when he looked at the white face of Kakashi, the pure terror on Kakashi face made him smirk and quivered his lips from smiling.

Kakashi gave a slight bow, before he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Minato let out a sigh; he just didn't know what to tell his red headed wife. To convince her to let Naruto start his training. He gave out another sigh as he continued his work.

Meanwhile on the streets of Konoha, our blonde haired hero had bumped into a very powerful man. He had been so happy that his father would talk and convince his mom to let him train that he had bumped into the snake Senin, Orochimaru.

"Kuku, you must watch where you're going Naruto-kun." Orochimaru said to the dumbstruck Naruto who was looking at his pale white face and yellow eyes.

"I-I a-a-m sorry, Orochimaru-sama" Naruto stuttered. He had heard from his godfather, Jiraiya and Kakashi-nii about Orochimaru and his summons, he was one of the strongest of the three Senin and the creepiest of them all.

"It's alright," Orochimaru said to Naruto and continued "I see you are very happy about something." He had seen the boy appear a couple of feet back smiling at everything around him, at the time he was looking at his direction, but was oblivious at the fact of the approaching figure.

"I may start my training, Tou-san said he would be talking with kaa-san" Naruto said proudly like head just achieved something big. "I see," said Orochimaru has an idea struck him. "Would you like to help me out, I may teach you some…"

Orochimaru never finished his sentence as Naruto jumped up in excitement. "Yes-yes-yes" he repeated it like a chant. The Senin gave a sinister smile. Oh… the fun it would be when he was going to turn this boy against the village, the look that would be on Minato's face! Orochimaru couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
