Yello readers hows it going?

I don't own Naruto, even though I love it so much. Hmmmm okay well I really don't know what else to write so enjoy the prologue (an afterthought here who pronounces it pro- log- eee? I know how to say it properly and all but that's always what I think when I see it lol)

What's Hidden in Your Past?

Prologue

Outside of town in a beautiful bush house a little boy sat in his mother's cupboard and listened to her counting through the closed doors "19…18…17" Her soft voice called from the kitchen. She'll never find me here he thought happily grabbing another jumper and pulling it over his head.

The boy's father who had just been walking by heard the noise and went over to the cupboard. "Sshhh Naruto, you have to be as quiet as a mouse and don't fall for any of her tricks." The father whispered just loud enough for Naruto to hear. The father walked back over to the window and looked out again, double checking what he feared was happening.

Heading into the kitchen the father went over to and whispered in the mother's ear. "Honey I believe they've finally come for him." Naruto's mother simply nodded, already suspecting as much and continued counting.

"3…2…1, ready or not here I come!" She called out playfully to her son.

Naruto sat silently just like his father had instructed and listened keenly, waiting for his mother to enter the room. He heard banging and thought he heard something smash and almost left his hiding place to see if everything was okay, almost. Ha you can't get me with fake tricks like that he thought to himself, smiling cheekily in the dark.

After what felt like hours (but was actually only half an hour) Naruto gave up and got out of the cupboard, just in time to hear someone closing a window. Heading in the direction of the noise Naruto called out happily. "Mum you lost, you couldn't find me!" He laughed gleefully, and then stopped upon entering the lounge-room. "MUM, DAD!" He screamed throwing himself down by his fallen parents sides.

Both parents had their eyes open but blood dribbled from their mouths. He looked at his mother and watched horrified as she raised her hand and placed it on his cheek. "You're finally safe my little boy." She whispered happily then losing the only thing that had been keeping her awake she let her hand drop and gave into the darkness. Naruto's eyes that were wide in fear had tears pouring out of them as her turned to his father.

"It's okay son, go here." He said pushing a piece of paper into the boy's hand. "I know your young but we have to go now, never forget we love you son…" The fathers voice trailed off as he too fell into the darkness, leaving behind the little boy Naruto who cried over their body's all night until the next day when an old man came to his house and told him everything was going to be okay.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAA I promise I love Naruto so please forgive me for making him cry!

Chapter Three- Ninja?

Waking to the early rays of sunshine Naruto got up and headed for the bathroom only to find it already preoccupied and headed for the kitchen instead, ignoring the bombardment of memories to the best of his ability. Once in the kitchen he got out some bacon and eggs and began cooking them.

By the time Sasuke left the bathroom Naruto had finished cooking and had thrown the food in the microwave to keep it warm. "Foods in the microwave." He told Sasuke as he went into the bathroom and went through his morning routine.

After eating Naruto explained to Sasuke about his families tradition to keep the ninja way going on through the family, which wasn't a full lie he thought as he remembered the hidden cupboard t=in the study that was full of kunai and shuriken. Smiling internally he told Sasuke that he was planning on honing his skills while he was out here and politely asked if he'd like to join in.

"Yea sure, my family does the same thing so you won't need to teach me anything." He says calmly following Naruto outside.

Sasuke looked Naruto over as he was stretching, since the blonde had worn that baggy orange get up yesterday Sasuke had presumed that he was chubby but in reality Naruto was actually quite thin and had a muscly body, not ripped but not just well toned. Not unlike me Sasuke thought but smiled smugly at an afterthought but I' more muscly than him and even with the things my brother had told me before I moved here he has the same speed and strength I have if not less. He probably just doesn't know how to use the fox's strength Sasuke thought rubbing the mark on his neck that symbolised where his parents had injected him when his was little Sasuke referred to it as a curse mark and when he activated it, it turned him into a monster but even then Sasuke want that good at controlling that power yet either.

Some him and Naruto are probably still on partially equal plains. Shrugging Sasuke straightened up from throwing the shuriken and smiled triumphantly when he heard Naruto whisper 'wow'.

"Ha cool right on target, you're good." Naruto laughed.

After letting Sasuke have his go Naruto fetched the shuriken and threw it at his target and also got it straight on mark. "WOOO!" He cheered.

"SHUT UUUP NARUTO!" Shikamaru called from his window making Naruto laugh. Jumping from branch to branch he arrived at Shikamaru's window.

"Come join us Shikamaru." Naruto asked smiling at his lazy friend.

"Nahh maybe next time." Shikamaru said turning around and shutting the window. Naruto just started laughing again and jumped back to where Sasuke was.

"Okay next how bout' we have a race." He exclaimed excitedly.

After explaining the rules and where the race ended Naruto went and got Shikamaru so he could judge the race. Sasuke heard Naruto begging Shikamaru and sighed sitting down he closed his eyes and waited for Naruto to come back. Why did I even come on this stupid trip? He thought. Opening his eyes again he saw Naruto's big sky blue orbs looking at him. "What." He asked slightly irritated the dobe had arrived next to him without him knowing.

"Well Shikamaru is signalling for the race to start." Naruto said looking at the flashing torch light in the distance. Sighing Sasuke stood and got ready, first flash… second flash…. Third! Pushing off the branch Sasuke sprinted through the trees hearing Naruto right beside him.

"Ha give up dobe! You won't be able to beat me!" He exclaimed. Naruto just laughs and picks up his pace evening out with Sasuke.

"We'll see about that!" He yells over the rush of wind.

Shikamaru sits there hearing Sasuke taunt Naruto and sighs for about the twentieth time since he woke up, leaning back on the tree Shikamaru sees Naruto's bright yellow hair pop around from a big tree with Sasuke right next to him, who would've thought they were both ninja, I mean honestly what were the odds? He thinks to himself. It's not like it was uncommon in Konoha village for there to be ninjas I mean their army was a full group of them who were referred to as the Anbu Black Opps.

As the two teenagers approach the finish line Shikamaru briefly hears the scuffling of leaves bellow (being a ninja himself). But chooses to ignore it as both boys cross the line at the same time, and Naruto jumps back over and asks excitedly. "So who won huh?" With a huge smile on his face.

"It was a tie." He announces in a bored tone. And almost smiles when Naruto groans and sits down on the branch. Sasuke sighs and sits down as well and asks Shikamaru "Hey are you really a ninja?" Obviously noting Shikamaru's surprise he points to Naruto and explains. "He told me." Shikamaru just shrugs.

"Yea, it's kind of a family job." Leaning his head back Shikamaru sees Naruto lie back down onto the branch.

"You no Kyubbi told me that it was rare for there to be so many ninja's around, but I mean practically everyone in Konoha are qualified as one." Shikamaru just nods already having thought this a while ago.

"Who's Kyubbi?" Sasuke asks, keeping his face devoid of any emotion. Naruto sits up again as Shikamaru, having heard the story before, lies down and stare at the clouds, noting how fast they're moving and the fact that they should all head back soon.
