Ahem, Candy, you forgot the disclaimer.
What do you mean Kina, why do we need to put a disclaimer on everystory? It's obvious we don't own anything.
As much as I hate to admit it, she's right Kina.
Thanks, Kala.

Chapter one;
A four year old Naruto sat on his ratty old bed, sobbing as he nursed his wounds. He may be only four, but he's got the mind of a teenager thanks to what life's given him. He didn't know why the villagers all hated him, or why they called him the 'Kyuubi brat' all the time, but that didn't mean he was oblivious. He knew that what ever they hated him for had to do with the Kyuubi. He just needed to find out what...
"Are you okay Naruto-kun?" A voice behind him startled him out of his musings.
He quickly turned, ready to try and protect himself when he saw who it was he immediately scrambled over with a bright smile. "Itachi-niisan!" He said as the older boy picked him up. "I've missed you! How was your mission?" He said, hugging the boy around the neck.
The Uchiha heir chuckled, something that only Naruto and Sasuke could make him do. "I've missed you too Naruto-kun. And my mission was fine. But you don't look so good yourself. Why are you bleeding?" He asked softly.
"They attacked me again." Naruto said, his eye turning downcast.
"Again!?" Itachi felt like killing something, slowly and painfully, preferably a villager that's been attacking Naruto since he was able to walk. But he refrained himself and took Naruto to ANBU HQ to get treatment. "Come on Naruto-kun. We're going to head quarters." He said, jumping out the window and running in the direction of ANBU HQ.
When Naruto was healed he took Naruto on his shoulders and walked towards the Hokage tower. He had to get the poor kid out of Konoha if he had to kill and run away, kidnapping the boy until he could defend himself before slipping him back in. He knocked on the door.
"Come in." A wizened voice said from the other side.
He oped the door to see the old Hokage working on more paperwork. "Hokage-sama!" Itachi said with a grudging bow. "I've come with a request about Naruto."
"Oh? Oh hey there Naruto-kun." He said, seeing Naruto on Itachi's shoulders. "Why is there blood on the boy's clothes?" He asked.
"He was attacked again." Itachi sighed and the old man looked up at the pictures of his fellow kage, his eyes landing on the fourth photo. "That's why I've finally made up my mind." Itachi said.
"Made up your mind about what?" The old man asked suspiciously.
"I wish to take Naruto out of the village for a few years and train him to defend himself. Hopefully, by the time he's back, the village will have gotten a little past the whole anger, blame the container state. If not, we just wont tell that Naruto's who he is." Itachi bowed low, causing Naruto to fall off him. He made to catch the kid as he was about to make impact on the hard floor. But Naruto rolled into it and hopped to his feet, the two older nin blinked in shock before Itachi did something he's never done infront of anyone.
He grinned. "What do you say. He's already got excellent balance." He asked. "With more training, he can become what the fourth wanted him to be, a hero and a great shinobi."
The old man sighed. "You do realize what's going to happen if your father finds out about this." Itachi nodded. "Okay, we'll say you're on a mission to represent Konoha around the nations for the next six years." Itachi grinned once more and Naruto grinned at them both. "But, you must do that mission as well, just with Naruto along."
"Hai, Hokage-sama. I'll begin packing and I'll get Naruto some clothes before we leave. I'll be back here in two hours Naruto-kun. Stay with the Hokage." Itachi to Naruto and, as he left, he could hardly keep the grin off his face. The grin was scaring people as he didn't even smile, let alone grin. But, when he saw the Uchiha gates, he schooled a stoic expression on his face.
The ANBU captain showed up at the tower in exactly two hours after he left. He gave a pack with clothes and basic medical equipment in it to Naruto, and placed another on his back that held money and a few storage scrolls that held clothes, weapons, medical equipment, ink, and so on. "You ready to hit the road Naruto-kun?" He asked with a soft smile.
"Wait, Itachi!" The old Hokage said, cutting Naruto off. "When you think he's ready, give him this." He passed Itachi a headband, causing Itachi to smile brightly.
"Okay Hokage-sama. Ready Naruto?" Itachi said, stuffing the headband into his pack.
"You bet!" Naruto gave the Hokage one last hug. "See you later Oji-san!" With that, he turned and followed Itachi out of the office and soon, out of the village.
